There are devices where a bad actor could cause the device to kill someone. An AICD could be programmed to give a shock at the point in the cardiac cycle where itâ(TM)d cause the heart to arrest and then be programmed not to give itâ(TM)s usual life saving shock.
Staying calm, cool and collected in a life threatening emergency situation such as this requires bravery. That's why she's appropriately being called brave.
No, because people on bicycles and on foot are not piloting objects weighing thousands of pounds at high speed capable of killing and maiming others. The aggressive prosecution should be focussed on those killing people, not on people harmlessly breaking laws that were designed not for them but automobiles. That should happen irrespective of how annoyed drivers like you get that people use other forms of transportation.
A fair contest would have subjected Watson to a delay that would be equivalent to a human's average response time (how quickly a human can push his thumb down to activate the buzzer), however many milliseconds that would be.
That's only if you measure quality of life by size of house you can live in. For many people, living in the middle of Iowa would represent a 500% quality of life decrease, as some people value other qualities of cities.
I spent a couple of weeks in rural Honduras on a medical mission, and we were in a remote village where there was no clean water, goats roamed the dirt "streets," people lived in mud huts, and to get to the closest physician you had to walk about 20 hours to the nearest town. No electricity and no land lines.
Yet, a bunch of people in this town had cell phones, and service was available and reliable. Honduras's cell coverage was far better than the coverage here in the states, and people in dirty poor areas use them as their only means of communication to the outside world, oftentimes to their relatives in the United States. Doctors without Borders put in a clinic that can be used by visiting physicians, and it has solar panels. People pay a nominal fee to charge their phones off the solar panels.
Smart phones? Yeah, I didn't see any of those. But as they become more ubiquitous and less expensive, I can see them taking hold even in places like this.
That is ridiculous. You were in your own home, and you were displaying a firearm to show that you had the means to protect your family. Brandishing a firearm is legal when you are concerned about your own safety. How do you think a concealed carry permit holder can draw a firearm to defend himself? By brandishing it, of course.
I'd have had one serious conversation with the lieutenant of that police department. Brandishing their firearms and detaining your whole family like that was excessive.
Oft repeated nonsense. The ultimate control of an Airbus, during fault conditions, is Direct Law, where the pilot control inputs are transmitted unmodified to the control surfaces, providing a direct relationship between sidestick and control surface.
http://www.airbusdriver.net/airbus_fltlaws.htm
There has been no evidence suggesting that the aircraft was being flown in Direct Law. The automated messages from the aircraft indicated a switch to Alternate Law, and if it had switched to Direct Law while the pilots were still able to fly the aircraft, a report would have been issued to that effect as well. In Alternate Law, there is still a low speed stability function that will cause the aircraft to decrease its angle of attack. This may be overridden, but a pilot accustomed to trusting the safeguards may be reluctant to do so.
And that's really the whole point, isn't it? Be it Alternate Law or Direct Law, the exposure these guys have is going to be limited to simulator time. Figuring out how the aircraft behaves in response to stick inputs under Direct Law while flying through the worst of weather conditions is a recipe for disaster.
Side effect lists are often very misleading, because of exactly that problem: you can't show causation between the drug and the sign/symptom displayed by the individual, but it must be listed as a side effect if, during the study, the patient shows that sign/symptom. Psychiatric drugs are particularly problematic, because the side effects listed are often the very same conditions that the doc is trying to treat with the drug.
Can these drugs cause some nasty side effects? Sure. Do they cause every single one of the conditions listed in the side effect profile in the PDR more than on an extremely sporadic basis? No.
There is another explanation that doesn't require the typical conspiracy thinking, and it also happens to be correct. The impetus behind shoe removal was the changes that were made to the metal detectors after 9/11. They cranked the threshold for alarm down much lower such that even small amounts of metal on somebody's person will cause a detector to go off. Most shoes have a metal component in the sole, and with the new threshold on the detectors, this is enough to set them off. Instead of having 80% of people activating the metal detectors and requiring individual searches, the solution (and an unusually reasonable one in this day of security hysteria, I think) was to have people remove their shoes and send them through the scanners.
The GOF Design Patterns book didn't present examples in multiple languages either. Its patterns were consistently universally applicable, though, I'll give you that.
Yeah, but unfortunately there are a host of other things that cause that balance to be upset and for that smell to develop that have nothing to do with her having been busy.
Not to mention that semen is very alkaline, for that very reason. The alkalinity is designed to counteract the acidity of the vagina and reduce the hostility of the environment for the sperm.
It is also interesting to note that it is the alkalinity of the semen that often gives girls that fishy smell. In an acidic environment, trimethylamine, which is the compound that smells like fish, is not volatile. When the pH rises, however, the TMA volatilizes and is released into the air to be smelled by all whose noses are near - thus a fishy smell.
Except for the fact that anyone who has watched sporting events knows that reading a blog about it is nothing better than a supplement to watching it, or at the very minimum listening to it on the radio. There is no way that blogging can ever directly compete with standard broadcast media, but they can improve the experience for viewers, which you would think the NCAA would want.
How do you know that they didn't just take a return, re-shrinkwrap it, and put it back on the shelf as a new item? I've known stores to do that on numerous occasions. And why couldn't it have been purchased, return the next day, and placed back on the shelf to be sold that same day? Doesn't take very long for a product to be sold twice.

Spoken like a true suburb dweller.
Nope. Everyone is a singular pronoun.
Unintended consequences, eh.
Seems like this would apply to libraries as well - all books that don't have an equivalent "accessible" version would be in violation of the ADA.
This is one of most depressing posts I've read on here in a while.

There is not a single place in the U.S. that requires that income.
If you're going to be a grammar nazi, you should at least have a good command of grammar.
It's not the "past tense." It's the present perfect, and 'led' is the past participle.
Health insurance does not pay for Viagra unless it is used for pulmonary hypertension, a bonafide medical condition.
way = singular

No, they run day and night. Passenger trains also run day and night.

Timothy took this headline from the major news outlets. They're the ones to blame for this poorly constructed headline.
