Level 22 is a kill screen. It's just a question of how many points you get before getting there (if you get there) and, apparently, there (when you get there).
I own an android phone and so I know to run for the hills when I see the google brand on software. I've never seen a company that can so consistently write such crappy software.
Examples: * When I push the power/wake up button on the phone it shows me up to three messages. I read them and then move to click one. At the same fucking time it reorders them so I end up clicking on the wrong one. WHY REORDER THEM RIGHT WHEN YOU EXPECT A CLICK! * The google voice commands is also maddening. I push the button, it then goes to skinny "wait" mode and then goes directly to "I didn't hear you." (about 50 ms after it beeps) So I have to go back and start over. But the second time it usually goes to "listening" before it times out. Why must I push the button once, start over, then push it again? Does that make any sense? * google maps, I just has this experience I said, "find nearby parking garages." it then identifies several garages. I click on one and, no matter which one I click, it takes me to the same damn garage. I drive away so some other garage will be the new closest garage based on the low res map, but no, I must go to this garage. Why why why?/rant
What do you see that makes you think they are being done right?
I actually just had the question. I knew that many/.ers take this as the truth and i didn't know why and wanted to find out. These responses have shown me what people see.
I think we agree. Long and high speed do work together. You just have to plan for it.
BTW, I've always wondered about ground drift. The power company runs just the hot line to my house and then I set neutral to ground at the box. If there is big ground drift then might I be getting -200 to -80 V (relative to the neutral) out of any individual phase? If so, how does shit work?
Firewire comes much closer to its nominal transfer rate than USB. Basically, the S in USB means that you have to spend a fair amount of time waiting to see if anyone new wants to talk.
I agree. I simply don't buy inexpensive electronics from Amazon unless I know the manufacturer and seller now. Which basically means Amazon is no longer a good retailer for inexpensive electronics.
All MFN contracts affect everyone who trades. That's what's great/awful about MFN contracts.
Example: the company that made the lead additive for gas added a MFN clause to all of it's contracts--looks like it's screwing itself, right? But no, then when someone tries to negotiate a lower price they say, "we would be we have all of these MFN contracts out there, you're stuck at the asking price."
The only one I know of that people get in trouble for is the third one and the standard is that there has to be evidence that there was communication along the lines of, "hey, let's jack up the price of A to $B."
In this case Apple had written communication about the deals it was cutting.
Maybe. But was she with Obama or Biden at the time?
I also wouldn't be surprised if the SoS has special dispensation around that. If there was one person other than the POTUS or VPOTUS who would have such dispensation, it would be the SoS.
She was the Secretary to State and I'm pretty sure had the right to change the classification status of something generated to the department of state. So, yes, she can give those instructions.
The only NASA plans that I know of for the next 40 years are the James Webb telescope and landing a person on an asteroid. I'm super pumped SpaceX did those!
I did some work related to the previous project. It wasn't that long ago--more like 20 years. The issue was that you could pick only two of efficient, quiet, and supersonic. I have no idea how they plan to fix that this time around.

You will have to send back off brand USB cables and chargers that fry your phone--2 day shipping, please.

'Long' and 'High Speed' don't work together
So, how is it that I can get essentially ethernet faster than my hard drive between my work and other sites thousands of miles away?
On a smaller scale thunderbolt will go to 60 meters.
Firewire comes much closer to its nominal transfer rate than USB. Basically, the S in USB means that you have to spend a fair amount of time waiting to see if anyone new wants to talk.
So... you're thinking USB is somehow secure? If so, I'll send you a device to plus in to your USB port.
The odd thing is that you still shop there.
If we wanted good interfaces we'd be using firewire. USB wins because it is inexpensive.
I agree. I simply don't buy inexpensive electronics from Amazon unless I know the manufacturer and seller now. Which basically means Amazon is no longer a good retailer for inexpensive electronics.
Unless we buy from Amazon. Then we expect it to fry our computer.

Nixon said he could do anything. I'm saying the SoS has certain powers due to laws that grant them to the SoS. Pretty big difference.
I don't understand. In a deal there is always a buyer and a seller.

When there are 9 justices they need 4 to vote for it. I don't know about when there are 8.
That's called a most favored nation contract and I thought it was pretty typical. The USG demands it in several arenas.
Maybe. But was she with Obama or Biden at the time?
I also wouldn't be surprised if the SoS has special dispensation around that. If there was one person other than the POTUS or VPOTUS who would have such dispensation, it would be the SoS.
But if not, then, yeah, throw the book at her.

There were 50 states and he nailed them all.
