There's Siri, Alexa, Bixby, etc. etc. What we need is a standard of ONE name. In Star Trek they say "Computer", but that's too common to be used to get a computer's attention. We need a word nobody uses anymore. A word that doesn't come up in polite conversation. One obscure word that would be used only for getting a smart speaker's attention.

You're thinking of WWI. When we entered WWII nearly all of Europe was still in Nazi hands, as was North Africa. And we had been supplying the allies with weapons and machinery before that. The Japanese controlled nearly all of the Pacific west of Hawaii. The U.S was in the war for part of 1941, all of 1942, 1943, 1944, and part of 1945. At the end of the war we had 16 million men in uniform. So, no, it wasn't "basically" over when we got in.
You owned a sheet metal cutter and an air hammer, but you didn't own a pickup truck?!? Cut a corner off your man card. Three more strikes and you're out.:)
Around here you can get rid of all that metal by putting it out for recycling. I got rid of a couple of DirecTV dishes by recyling them. They'll take metals, paper, cardboard, plastic, but not glass (for some odd reason). Most weeks I recycle more than I throw away.
Buildings have more than one side. Most schools I've been in have a central hallway and classrooms on both sides. It's more efficient to build that way. Of course you can orient the desks inside each classroom whatever way you wish, but usually, when you walk into the room, the teacher's desk is nearest the door (and doorways can be put anywhere randomly).
Actually, he was removed from the Alabama Supreme Court once, not twice. The second time he chose to leave to run for the U.S. Senate.
As far as the first time he was removed, he was right in what he was saying. It's just that the country had evolved SO far from what the framers of the Constitution meant, that no one, even the U.S. Supreme Court, was likely to agree with him.
When it comes to losing your job because of accusations, none of the men, including Al Franken, should have quit until the accusations were proven. Do you really want to live in a country where you have to quit your job based on accusations alone? You'd live every day in fear of somebody you may have slighted accusing you of something that might never be proven. Your life would be ruined and nothing you do would ever make up for it.
I've been around and around with UPS about this. If it's a package that has to be signed for, they'll deliver when I'm not there. If it's a package that doesn't have to be signed for, it could very well be 10:30 pm before it's delivered. They just won't do it any different.
Most people who have Amazon Prime probably access the content using an Amazon device like FireTV. It's a great little device and is priced a LOT lower than Apple TV. Plus, you don't have to go through the pain that is iTunes.
FireTV has a web browser now - Silk. No, it's not a great browser, but it's good enough to view anything on youtube. Combine FireTV with a Bluetooth keyboard and you're in business. You don't need the youtube app at all. I wonder if Google even knows this.
I use a Bluetooth keyboard/trackpad called the iPazzPort and it works great -- full qwerty keyboard, pretty good range, and all the buttons you'd ever want to play with.
That's fairly accurate, but the reason they tend to roast darker than normal is to disguise the quality and origin of the coffee. Coffee roasted past the second snaps pretty much all taste the same - you're getting the flavor of the roast. Lighter roasts give you more of the flavor of the origin.
I roast my own beans and can assure you I make a better cup of coffee than any Charbuck$ out there, and usually better than most any other coffee shop.
It's not hard to roast coffee. Getting it right takes a little bit of experience, but even if it's a little bit off from what your target roast was, it's way better than store-bought coffee or coffee shop coffee.
That has to be some of the worst shit I've ever tried to listen to. It's worse than hip-hop or country. I could put random notes on a page and it'd sound better.
If that's AI, then we have nothing (or everything) to fear.
Giving nukes to Japan is somewhat complicated. Giving them to South Korea is easier and could be done tomorrow. Since South Korea is probably in greater danger, it just makes sense that they have the nukes they need to retaliate in case NK attacks them (either with nukes or conventional forces). It might just wake up that maniac with the bad haircut.
I can see your point. We work with a spreadsheet and a mapping program open side-by-side. We have to be able to see both at the same time. Switching from one to the other is a no-go.
And there's always that song by ELO called "Can't Get It Out Of My Head". They repeat the line all the way through the song. And I can't get it out of my head. And I can't get it out of my head. And I can't get it out of my head.
Try getting THAT one out of your head! <evil laugh>

Good! It'll probably be the first time for a lot of you.

The nearest one to my house is 38 miles away. Not exactly what I call convenient.
Better for some would be the UPS store, but the nearest one is 12 miles from me.

Reverse that and you're spot on.

It makes me wonder if the same universities are doing the same thing today with other "research" - bought and paid for.
It's too late. We're already at idiocracy, as evidenced by most of the posts here at slashdot.
