Weather is not an impediment to cycling where you live. However that doesn't mean it applies to everyone. For instance I would really like to have warm weather like you do during the winter. We see -30C regularly, -25C is warm enough that we don't have to fasten our coats to cross the parking lot. Windchill temperatures regularly hit -40C/F and -45C is not unheard of. In those temperatures riding a bike isn't uncomfortable it's deadly.
I applaud you for riding year round, and from experience I know that the human body can handle greater extremes in temperature that we typically believe (I've played soccer in 50C). But no mode of transportation is the end-all/be-all solution.
Yep it's definitely not a technical problem, after all getting serial data to run at 312.5 Gbps over long distances of un-shielded twisted pair copper is simple. The edges of the data are only in the 1.2 THz range after all.
Even on a PCB, 312.5 Gbps gets tricky and expensive, over long distances of fiber or copper it will be very difficult. Dropping to 400 Gbps brings it into the realm of slightly possible but still ridiculously expensive, plus at 400 Gbps you can bond just three links and get 1.2Tbps through, well probably less after overhead.
50 feet of just about any wire isn't going to affect your audio signal unless you wrap it around the AC mains. It won't be an antenna in those frequencies (well it is a 1/1000 wave antenna I guess). If it's as small as 22 gauge wire you'll still only lose about 10% power, if it's 18 - 14 gauge closer to 1% loss at most. It's pretty hard to screw up the transmission of analog audio over wire inside a house.
Order of operations. His math is just fine, your comprehension not so much. Unless you're going for the condition where [Number of sales title the studio wanted] < [Number of sales title actually got] which is highly unlikely.
We can do more than stop buying from a company that installs malware. We can educate those we influence. For me that pretty much means my kids (for now), but they know how bad Sony is and why we don't consider buying anything Sony makes.
The keyboard will change when we no longer need them, after A.I. provides us a better means of communicating with computers.
AI is going to have to do a good job of reading minds then. I can type faster than I can talk, and much faster than I can talk intelligently to a computer.
The data from StatCounter via Wikipedia seems to show that IE was losing to Firefox which was on course to eventually take the majority somewhere around Spring 2011. But in October 2009 Chrome pretty much stopped Firefox in it's tracks without changing the rate of IE abandonment. IE should drop below 10% roughly summer 2014 if the current trends stay in place. I suspect though that the "Mobile" category may actually accelerate that decline.
Predictions:
By early 2015 IE will pretty much be gone.
By summer 2015 Chrome will have about 50%.
Also by summer 2015 mobile browsers will be roughly 25% of web traffic
By summer 2014 Safari and Firefox will both be between 10-15% usage.
Opera will maintain about 2-3% and IE will eventually join it.
By early 2015 office furniture in Seattle will be extremely expensive.
I have heard the slightly drunk drivers trying to avoid being caught typically stay right at the speed limit or slightly below. 2-3 above and you're in the clear.
I did a quick price comparison at Newegg (but for desktop components). I can't get the panel that small and keep the resolution, but everything else is comparable. The price comes out to $2450 before tax and shipping, and I'd still have to put it together and install the OS.
They don't allow plaintiffs to pay out coupons in small claims court.
They also don't generally allow plaintiffs to get their lawyers to appear on their behalf in small claims court. Often if the claim is against a corporation a member of the executive must appear.
Our driver training isn't the problem, the problem is we're not enforcing the laws already on the books. How many states do NOT have a distracted driver law? I doubt there's even one.
The problem is that enforcing traffic laws other than speeding and red lights is difficult and expensive and police have transitioned from community service to revenue generation (and not entirely by their own choice). Since their primary activity is bringing in revenue for the local government they concentrate on the easiest ways to do that and ignore what is less profitable.
In addition a politician won't be seen as "doing something" if he says the police need to enforce existing laws. He'll be seen as uncaring. To be re-elected and continue to gain power and influence a politician needs to continue creating new legislation, therefore we get reams of laws that could be replaced with: "enforce what is already on the books"
Exactly. When you follow too closely you are saying that your time is more important than the other person's property, health and even life. If your vehicle is significantly larger than the one you are following, it's the same has holding a loaded and cocked weapon to their head.* This is what the bus drivers were doing by following too closely. On top of that they weren't paying attention.
*A theory I came up with after years of motorcycle commuting in the Silicon Valley.
Wouldn't it be more accurate to measure output per capita rather than per country? From a rough estimate that puts the US and Canada neck and neck at about 2.5x the per capita output of China.
Yes you can, it's called packet radio and at higher frequencies you can get decent bandwidth. However, FCC requirements are that all data be sent in the clear, you can't do encrypted traffic.

That has actually happened to me once. I signed it right then and there and handed it back...no problems.
OK, so don't lose your phone and your thumb.
Everyone copies Apple.

Damn CS/CE's think they know RF!
If the tuner is designed to work with a cable system there will be no "notch". Cable systems go from 47 MHz to 1000 MHz.
On a track pad: Ctrl+Click or Two-Finger Click. On most Apple mice, or any other mouse, right click works just fine.

PostgreSQL also has providers of support contracts. I'm a little familiar with EnterpriseDB

There is no more right to a fair trial in DUI cases. USSC said so a long time ago.

They're a business, good businesses don't pay taxes. Their customers pay the taxes for them.
Yes, but you get to deduct the taxes you pay to the other country so it's not as bad.
