What's hilarious, is that I've seen the chip reader terminals everywhere, but I've only seen one where the chip reader was activated. Also: only have received a chipped card from Amex. Still haven't gotten one from Chase for either my debit card or my credit card, so I'm doubtful that deadline (two days from now) will be met without extension.
Great. So the new guy elected Speaker either does the same out of the necessity to keep the government functional at any level, or completely destroys the Republican brand with a new completely unnecessary shutdown which only ends when he capitulates anyway.
We've seen this before, and it won't work. Boehner was right to get out now.
and meanwhile thousands of families lose their livelihood to shutdowns and furloughs because 535 people can't work together to get anything done for the 320 million people that sent them there to do a job they refuse to do.
Yeah, or he was trying to do that thing called 'governing.'
After the elections are over, the Congress needs to actually work together and compromise in order to enact legislation to keep government working. You can't just stamp your feet and demand you always get your way - that's not governing, and results in the completely dysfunctional shitty government we have today.
Oh, I know what you're thinking: "I'd rather have a gridlocked government than one that passes this socialist marxist yadda blah blah" - keep thinking that and being part of the problem. Enjoy never seeing a conservative elected to the Presidency again.
This isn't a heavy foot. This is a completely different ECU operating profile that is switched on based upon sensor feedback, which either activates emissions equipment that results in less horsepower / less fuel economy, or de-tunes the engine in order to comply with emissions regulations.
40x the NOx emissions isn't "just gets outside the ideal curve".
The stock has tanked because there are two possible outcomes:
1. A very public and expensive recall where they overhaul the emissions system and retain the advertised performance on 11,000,000 vehicles or 2. A very public and inexpensive recall where they patch the ECU to keep the emissions systems active at all times, reducing performance, and opening themselves to a massive class action lawsuit over truth in advertising (engine not capable of advertised performance anymore) from 11,000,000 customers.
Either way, this is very public, and very expensive for VW. Also, auto manufacturers trade on their brand, and brand is built through trust. They just got caught lying and cheating, which is the fastest way to destroy trust there is.
Every modern car has some form of traction control which monitors the speed at which each wheel is turning, so that if there is a major differential between front and rear, it can detect the skid and take corrective action. When they perform these tests, they turn the traction control off because they stick the drive axle(s) of the car on a set of calibrated rollers and strap down any wheels that are "free". Also, when on the 'rolling road' there is never any steering. Right there, you have all the inputs necessary to detect a test:
1. traction control is disabled 2. steering wheel at 0 degrees, and never moves 3. front wheels rotating at drastically different speeds than rear (except AWD)
With the sensors that have to be there by law (traction control is mandated now), you could easily build in a software "defeat" device. And they did.
Dude, what is your fucking problem? Did the GP piss in your OJ or something? Did you write some kind of script to auto-reply to anything he posts with your inane bullshit, or do you actually waste your time manually replying?
It's time for you to grow up and move on. Nobody cares what your beef is. Nobody is interested in the slightest.
I would hope that a developer would know better than to allow an allegedly Apple-published app to continue to run when Apple's own security measures are warning you about it.
But then I remember that most software developers are complete knobs.
More than that, it's spelled out explicitly in Apple's app developer guidelines that the app will be rejected if it doesn't gracefully handle a permission denial. And, that would be incredibly easy to test in an automated fashion.
Now if the developer is a dick and just disables all the apps functionality because you don't give them permission to your contacts, then shame on them and they deserve a nice dose of herpes. But again, it's up to the user to have some responsibility in protecting their information, and they shouldn't just blindly allow permission to anything that asks.
It had better not, or anyone on Time Warner / Cox that is using a CableCARD will no longer be able to use their TV service, as they killed Windows Media Center, and there is *no* other PVR software I'm aware of that can get around these cable systems abuse of the CopyOnce flag.
It's not like a renaming of a street where people need to print new business cards and shit, it's a giant fucking lump of rock that all the locals have been calling "Denali" for 30+ years anyway. Who gives a shit.
Yeah, nobody in Ohio cares. At least, nobody that isn't bat-shit crazy already.
Signed,
Someone who until recently lived just off of Harrison Ave. (named for either William Henry Harrison or Benjamin Harrison, as they both lived in the area and both were Presidents), in southwest Ohio.
Leave us out of it - it's the dipshit politicians that are raising a stink.
As a resident of Ohio, I can formally tell you that we don't give a shit either. William McKinley doesn't even have crap named after him here like other Ohioan presidents do (Taft, Grant, Harrison [both W. H. Harrison and Benjamin], Hamilton, Garfield, etc.). In fact, if there's anything that was named for Rutherford B. Hayes, you can rename that shit back to whatever it was before, too.
This is an issue of importance only to douchebag politicians, and people that actually live in Alaska.
Well, for one thing, Mount McKinley was just named that by some asshole during William McKinley's Presidential campaign, and somehow it took. It was still 'Denali' right up until Woodrow Wilson established McKinley National Park when the name was made official. There's no historical reason for naming that particular mountain after William McKinley, who's sole contribution to Alaskan history basically involves not offering to sell it back to Russia (who, while owning Alaska, named the mountain "Bolshaya Gora" which means "Big Mountain").
Of all the things to get upset about, this just isn't one of them.
Signed, Someone sitting in Ohio right now, where we're supposed to be all fired up and angry about a mountain that bore the name of an Ohioan President being renamed by Presidential fiat.

And, it's a whole other G that those guys don't have!
Please point out anyone in official capacity claiming that Apple "invented" contactless payment.
Yeah, didn't think so.

You're completely full of shit. Download XCode from the app store, and then copy / redistribute to any and all Macs in the office without any issue.
I know that drag-and-drop is hard, but you'll get the hang of it someday.
They do.
Download Xcode.app, don't run it after it downloads. Copy Xcode.app to other machines via USB key. It self-installs the first time you run it.
I would hope that a developer would know better than to allow an allegedly Apple-published app to continue to run when Apple's own security measures are warning you about it.
But then I remember that most software developers are complete knobs.
Don't know what platform you're using, but it's completely possible (and required for App Store acceptance) on iOS.

Hey! At least give him credit for not selling Alaska back to Russia before getting assassinated!

Access to the filesystem, yes. OpenVPN - no.
I use this on my iPad quite frequently to access systems in our AWS VPC.
