Executive summary: you better never get caught jaywalking, because there are dozens of people who think they have a claim on your vital organs thay you do.
The US Air Force is contemplating retiring the KC-10 as it takes on the new KC-46 (tankerized cargo Boeing 767) so that they can continue to maintain only two tanker types in the fleet.
My current game addiction is WoW. It's explicitly multiplayer, although you can pretend ("the illusion of single-player") that you're playing by yourself for a lot of the play. Until someone ganks you, or starts spamming inane bullshit in the yell channel, or you have to go into a pick-up raid to accomplish something (damn legendary cloak quests).
In that latter case, you run into the worst of people, all in a little 10-player or 25-player microcosm. Narcissistic douchbags, trolls (some of whom are actually trolls), lazy asses who expect you to carry them, clueless weiners who don't understand the fight and can't be troubled to learn...
Too bad for me I actually enjoy the game, except for the parts where the "multiplayer" part ruins the rest.
Editorial responsibility one step above basic spelling, grammar, and sense* would have eliminated any submission citing IBTimes as source material. It's right up there with "Nothing submitted by Bennett Haselton" or "Nothing posted by Samzenpus**" or "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line."
*Which is to say, two steps above what we have now
**Except that I notice that Samzenpus seems to be the only editor on duty lately. What an odd coincidence.
FWIW, some people weren't really ready for the arrogance of Apple deciding you really really really wanted this album. Those are people who clearly haven't been paying attention. As long as Apple is calling the shots, they know better than you, and they can prove it.
As to the "auto download not the default" setting, sure, the user had to switch it. If they were trusting enough to assume that THEY would be the ones who decided what music is in their own collection, that's a legitimate convenience decision. The mistake was in naively they controlled their music selection. I imagine they won't make that mistake again.
I, for one, welcome this event. Apple's customers need to be reminded of who's in charge. That way they can take the appropriate defensive measure when welcoming our fruit-themed entertainment overlords.
Did you know that the bodies of every criminal, unindicted, indicted, convicted, ALL OF THEM, are riddled with dihydrogen monoxide? ALL OF THEM. Their bodies are so heavily contaminated with the stuff that around 50% of their weight is this insidious substance!
We must BAN this potion of malefaction, this great insanity drug, this terrible criminal enabler!
If you're not a criminal, you have no need to pollute your body with this stuff. If your body is already polluted, purify yourself before it's too late!
1/1075th of one LoC, given the numbers in this Wikipedia article and extrapolating from its information:
Library data: The U.S. Library of Congress Web Capture team claims that "as of March 2014, the Library has collected about 525 terabytes of web archive data" and that it adds about 5 terabytes per month
525 tb + 5 months of 5 tb / month = 550 tb.
(Not counting September as completed, so only April through August.)
Or, you'd need a stack of 1,075 of these SD cards to hold one LoC. (The actual calculation is 1074.21 or so, but you have to round up or truncate off 100 gb of data, and it's the Library of Congress... you can't just throw away 100 gb of data!)
Maybe this guy is genuinely sorry, and maybe he's not. I don't know, and unless you personally know him, neither do you.
Given the limits of what anyone can ever really know of another person's intent and thoughts, arguably true. Nonetheless, the observed evidence is a pretty good indicator.
If he felt remorse at any point before incarceration, it wasn't sufficient to actually make him stop his bullying and harrassing. As such, it's not relevant as "remorse", unless you choose to cling to a particularly futile and ineffective definition of "remorse".
"We don't call it spying. We're keeping out promise. No, we're not going to tell you what we call it instead. Rest assured that it's not 'spying', just as I promised."
A dowser is less effective than a geologist and bears, at the minimum, a higher opportunity cost over the average (of instances of people searching for water with a dowser instead of a geologist).
A fine economic analysis, but you're forgetting the balance-of-costs comparison.
If what you saved using a dowser (who, by your own scenario, is cheaper than a geologist) is more than the cost of two wasted wells, the dowser was a cost-effective alternative. In that case.
If, on the other hand, the dowser wasn't much cheaper, or you had to sink 5 dry wells, or your dowser never finds water, the dowser was a net loss.
I think that on balance, the latter scenarios are more likely. If you're thinking about choosing dowsing, you're better off just throwing darts at a large map of your property and saving that cost for the same effectiveness.
But if you're going to do an economic analysis, show all your work.
Still, Americans work more night and weekend hours than people in other advanced economies,
I believe the correct definition of an advanced economy is one which enables, empowers, and encourages a worker to be fully engaged and continuously productive at all hours of every day of the week, maximizing shareholder value and business agility while minimizing costs.
Question for the reader: Am I joking, trolling, or serious?
All of that said, the spectre (or joke) of Google Perpetual Beta would be worrying, if it were still a thing. Assuming it's really not a thing anymore, rather than a thing that's been carefully buried out of public view.
False dilemma. An autonomous car with manual controls does not invalidate the experience gathered in autonomous driving, as long as the vehicle logs whether the car is under manual or computer control at any given moment.
What, 100% of driver-operated cars are guaranteed to crash?
As enamored as you are of the technology, dial back the hyperbole. It doesn't do the cause any good.
It's called "paying your dues". No one gets away without it. You prove, by extended experience over a long period of time, that the new technology is superior to the old. After a couple of generations (of people, not technology), it's accepted and the shackles of the old can safely go away.
I always figured Jesus Christ predated Owen as a socialist thinker which, incidentally, also causes me to be amused over how so many socialist hating conservatives also claim to be devout Christians.
All the believers were together and had everything in common.They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
-- Acts 2:44-47
All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God's grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.
-- Acts 4:32-35
The first Christian church in history was a festering den of socialism.
This tells me that a lot of "Christians" need to reconsider their politics, or at least their committment to cut-throat capitalism.
I dunno; if the serial number is emitted over bluetooth, or guessable/brute-forceable, a range of 100 feet may mean dozens of people in which one troll may lurk, waiting to make your prosthetic go all Dr. Strangelove on you.
I'm not seeing the security here, other than the comparatively small attack space.
Perhaps it was habit? Perhaps it was that the gas was 5cents cheaper a gallon?
A nickle a gallon? I'd buy gasoline made from pressed baby kitties and the condensed death agonies of the last endangered whales on earth for a 5 cents a gallon less than the local competitors.
I guess that makes me part of the problem.
And, of course, as other responders have pointed out, the BP pumps were stocked from the exact same local distributor as the Shell pumps across the street, and the Exxon ones up the road, and the "independent" one across town... and quite possibly all from crude from the platform and oil field that went "boom!".
So unless you were willing to completely give up all petroleum products (including textiles and agro-chemical based foodstuffs), or drill your own well in your own back yard and build your own refinery, you aren't going to be able to avoid feeding the machine you hate. Welcome to the 21st Century.

Harvest their organs for the long organ donor list and they'll have contributed to society for once in their now terminated life.
Certain intelligent people have already explored where that idea ends up.

You mean KC-10. The KC-135 platform is based on the ancient Boeing Dash 80 airliner prototype, the forebear of the 707.
The US Air Force is contemplating retiring the KC-10 as it takes on the new KC-46 (tankerized cargo Boeing 767) so that they can continue to maintain only two tanker types in the fleet.
If you think like a cell in a Corporate Person, it's a critical distinction.
It's why you can't sentence a corporation to death, as much as it might be deserved.
So, yes. It's a distinction that makes no difference to the user, but every difference to the corporation.
And, at the end of the day, we all know whose interests the corporation is looking out for.
"Hell is other people."

Read my lips, no more spying on Americans!

No, we're not going to tell you what we call it instead. Rest assured that it's not 'spying', just as I promised."

You're saying Spain should oppose Scottish independence on the basis that they don't want to give Basque or Catalan seperatists any ideas?
Interesting idea.
