As I understand it, there's a buzzer (or something similar) so pilots can buzz in the crew without needing to get up. Yes, it's possible human error could occur, but they are allowed to override it.
If you were a pilot on a 6 hour flight, don't you think you might want some water or coffee during that time?
As my co-workers mention, I "hypermile." I shift to Neutral anywhere I can gain a bit by doing so. (I drive an automatic tranny though, Neutral gets me a lot farther than Drive.)
I also drive 55-60 mph, cause I get better mileage (42+ in a 2000 Honda Civic DX automatic.) I also stay right, trail semis, and don't drive like a douche if anyone's behind me.
"Hypermiling" is an idea that like Communism, Fascism, Nazism, or Marxism can be taken too far. Don't piss off others, but turn off the car (AT STOPLIGHTS, DUMBASS!) where nobody is inconvenienced. I hate it when stupidity wastes my gas. I hate it somewhat more when stupidity nearly causes an accident.
I wouldn't want to give a kid a car like my 20 year old first one which had its breaks fail, causing a minor collision.
Or the one I replaced it with, which at 14 years old I had the breaks overhauled. (I thought I learned my lesson.) Turned out the mechanic fucked up, and the truck was totaled in an accident resulting from the breaks failing.
I'd rather give him the Civic I bought after those that cost about double what they did combined, but lasted me over three times as long as they did for me together, and is still in great shape.
Hmmm, oddly I have been able to drive 65-70 mph all over California, Oregon and Washington without the problems you seem to run into in slowing down a bit. If you don't block lanes (in other words, stay right) it's really not that tough to slow down a bit and not get into a pissing match with another bad driver.
Sometimes bad data is a form of watermarking whose data is being used. Especially the crystal effect.
At least, so I've heard from a friend who worked for Google. Traditional paper mapmakers have intentional errors (misspellings, paths, etc) as well for the same reasons, so it makes sense.
I remember my first day of a broadcasting class in college with a well-respected teacher who had (over 30 years) taught many powerful people in the mainstream media. He wrote on the board, and waited while we all copied it to our notebooks, "Television is a delivery method for advertising."
Nothing on TV is on for any reason other than money in the 30000 foot view of it. Just like many corners of the internet. The original intent may not have been money, but eventually you get a few Google ads, maybe a flash one, and you start to profit.
Television news is catered to what most of the key viewers are willing to watch. Unlike most other programs, news is aimed towards the old, the married, and the educated. The local stations love their local news shows because it gets decent ratings, it's so cheap (relative to other programming) to make, and they usually get to keep 100% of the ad revenue - the networks don't get a cut of local programming.
Why do you think entertainers always get in the news before a new product launch? Usually the network breaking the story owns the publisher.
Back on topic, in the long run I bet someone found ways to make money off this. Like, ads for example?
I love watching the athletes, they're amazing. The synchronized diving is a rad biological timing problem on some level. There's really science everywhere, especially physics.
Yet, I'm getting so disgusted with China I'm ready to watch something else on my geeky HDTV/monitor.
We had over $5000 in loss we could prove. Higher, actually.
I'm really sorry things didn't work out for you, we were lucky enough to have extensive records proving these were our systems. Good thing Microsoft charges so much for licenses.
So, to solve this thread just over a week later, last night I got an email from a Special Agent with the FBI:
We have both of your computers back...
I'm leaving out a lot because I don't know where we're at yet, and like Google I observe a simple rule: Don't F*** S*** Up.
I also don't want anyone getting in trouble, but since I already posted publicly I'd love for you to have a follow-up. I'm really, really grateful that the FBI and other agencies were willing to help. (If ya'll see this, Thanks!)
To clarify things a bit, this was a pair of high end desktops (along with many, many costs that can't quickly be typed up) and other hardware that was stolen from a building under construction. Basically, we put computers in public places, and other than mice and keyboards rarely equipment walks.
It's a great thing to get systems back using just technology. There was no camera, witness, or fingerprints. We had just IP and MAC addresses, cookies and metadata, license plates and MySpace, and good efforts by the government we all bitch about to help out the little guy.
Partially, these computers were sold and I and my employer had no real financial interest in these, other than we don't like people to steal from our customers. They had our proprietary software on them, but very limited portions of it. They also wasted an assload of my time, which obviously was at least a little motivation for me.
I really, really appreciate all the advice, but if you ever have a PC stolen remember that computer thieves aren't usually that technical. Install remote access (FTP or PC Anywhere) and dynamic DNS, if nothing else. If possible, use a remote monitoring software or a silent VPN connection to keep an eye on your system.
Thanks to everyone,/. especially, as well as those with the law enforcement agencies that helped, and everyone who responded by email as well. I haven't had time yet to respond to all of you yet, but thanks.
Tina Meier has acknowledged Megan was too young to have a MySpace account under the Web site's guidelines, but she said she had been able to closely monitor the account. Meier's family has also acknowledged that Megan was also sending mean messages before her death.
Megan was being treated for attention deficit disorder and depression, her family has said.
I just don't feel a need to join this lynch mob, the girl was screwed up and Lori Drew screwed up. No laws were broken though, just a depressed girl with oblivious parents tragically overreacted to something relatively minor.
What if I let him use a computer that I own within my apartment then? Same number of bytes used, it's just more convenient for him not to need to come in here.
What is worse for your ISP is that you are depriving it, and its employees, of revenue that could be used to make your own service better, feed their families, etc. It isn't up to you to subvert and deny their legitimate business. So I'm a thief for letting my neighbor use my WiFi? He otherwise goes to the library down the street or the coffee shop across the street. There's no lost revenue there, since there's no revenue to be lost.
The theoretical damages situation is interesting, but usually bullshit.
I received one from the a California state organization about 3 years ago due to a lack of other ways to locate me and give me a written notice. The written notice had no external links whatsoever, and simply asked me to contact them regarding the matter and included a PDF of the subpoena itself, along with corroborating evidence that would relate to it.
A few phone calls and cross-checks with other resources later, it turned out to be valid.

Actually, the guy is Moroccan.

Yet, maps.live.com shows the exact same data as Google. Why would they hide Google? Could it just be old?
Street view is taken much more recently than most sat photos in Oregon.

Just look what happened to Hitler City North Carolina. If they hadn't changed their name to Charlotte, they'd be sunk.

You bring the tango and foxtrot.
Heroin too. You obviously haven't seen Permanent Midnight.
Much like Flanders' "nothing at all."

Three times he's been caught doing this, and nobody's keeping an eye out, or taken the uniform away? Is Florida really this defective?
I'll post what I can.

Her parents knowingly ignored this, and let a disturbed little girl use it anyway.
Don't forget this article:
Tina Meier has acknowledged Megan was too young to have a MySpace account under the Web site's guidelines, but she said she had been able to closely monitor the account. Meier's family has also acknowledged that Megan was also sending mean messages before her death.

This is actually an all in one desktop that had many peripherals removed/replaced, as well as was relabeled for shipping more than once.
It also would be running some non-standard programs, it wouldn't seem like a standard legit computer.
I saw no reference to texting while driving. He was simply pointing out that they're not for conversations, but for a quick message.
I'd always prefer a text to a phone call if it's just a one line phone call.
What if I let him use a computer that I own within my apartment then? Same number of bytes used, it's just more convenient for him not to need to come in here.

It could be your phone as well. I have Verizon also and the call quality is excellent for me.
