I'm not surprised. I consider myself pretty tech savvy, but I don't stream anything. I used to buy lots of records, then CDs and DVDs. I haven't really bought much recently, but if I were to buy anything, it would be physical media. I don't do streaming for several reasons. If it is DRMed, I worry that the site will shut down. if it is not DRMed, I worry about not being able to save it for later viewing, interrupted transmissions, reduced quality, bandwidth, and other things as well.
Yes, that is annoying, but there are plenty of other reasons not to like X-10. Like the fact that 90% of their stuff is wireless when it is supposed to be a communication over electricity standard. Why should I have to be constantly buying batteries for something that is supposed to be hardwired?
i thought godaddy was looking for a buyer, not planning an ipo?
It comes down to the same thing, except that the public is the buyer. It all depends on whether they are diluting the current share pool, or the current shareholders are trying to sell.
I've ridden on trains that do this and I found the leaning in to be very gimicky and arbitrary. It would have been just as effective and mechanically more reliable to tile the rails instead.
This is what should be done anyway. If a car is going around a curve at the designed for speed of the curve, the road is already going to be appropriately banked for the corner. If the car induces additional bank, it won't feel right. If the corner is a flat corner, the speeds involved will be so low that the bank of the care won't feel right. The only time when this will feel right is when the car is going around the corner at a speed which the corner is not designed for. At that time, the driver and passenger will feel that they are comfortably going around a gentle curve. Meanwhile their car will fly off the road and crash.
What Mercedes is doing goes much further than that: it actually makes the car lean inward, resulting in a more comfortable ride.
I suppose it depends on how you define comfortable. As far as I am concerned, if my car acted contrary to the laws of physic when I went around a corner, that would make me most definitely UNcomfortable.
At work is the most unusual place that I do my development. The usual place is at home, after hours, because I can't actually do it during the day due to all of the interruptions. Unfortunately, it has gotten to the point where I have to schedule which evenings I need to have off because I have been working every weekend for at least a few months now, and I have not had time to do bills or balance my checkbook. I took a day off two weeks back and they insisted I had to use a PTO day even though I was already well past 40 hours for the week, then they texted me while I was out that day to ask me questions and I had to work that evening as well. But the PTO day is gone now and can't be recovered.
Isn't it going to be difficult trying to find the non-indigenous inhabitants of those planets amongst all of the domestic inhabitants? Why not just look for any inhabitants at all?
Cox so far has not limited customers, but does send out nastygrams when you hit 250 GB. If they roll out gigabit, you will be able to receive your nastygram in record time, about 40 minutes into your monthly billing cycle.
Sure, there's a "you must have insurance on this thing we have a lien on" clause, which is reasonable,
I don't think that is reasonable at all. If I want to have insurance to cover the property, that is fine. If they are worried about insurance to cover the property they have loaned money on, then THEY can purchase insurance that only covers their interest in the property. That is a cost of doing business. In reality, they wouldn't need to buy insurance because they can spread the risk over millions of bank notes and make sure the interest rate covers that risk.
I'm sure the next logical step for these companies is to sue if you contact the BBB, and then after that they will begin suing you if you call their customer support line.
Ubercab may be taking advantage of loopholes in some jurisdictions. In other jurisdictions, they are merely attempting to relabel their service as the service they actually provide would require them to pay fees, be licensed and be regulated. They claim they are a "ride sharing" operation, but in fact, you are not sharing a ride with them. You call them up, tell them where you want to go, and they take you there. Kind of like a taxi. You can't just walk up to one and ask for a ride, you have to prearrange it, but where I live, you can't just hail a cab either. You have to call them first, even if there is one idling out at your curb.
No, the inflation rate is a lie no matter who is in the white house. Look at the crap they pull. A case of soda is only 3% more this year than it was last year. Well, that's great, but a case of soda now has 20 cans instead of 24. Same thing with a package of cookies. There are fewer cookies for the same price. A loaf of bread has fewer slices. A 50 pound bucket of chlorine tabs for the pool still costs the same, but now it is only 40 pounds. I'm sure that is not on the CPI, but that is just another example. Meanwhile, things that they aren't able to hide from you, like gas prices, electricity prices, natural gas prices, water utility prices, insurance prices, are going up at 10% to 20% a year. Salaries, meanwhile are staying exactly the same. I have lowered and lowered and lowered my lifestyle over the last 10 years, despite working more and more hours, and taking on an increasing number of outside projects . Pretty soon, I will have to sell my house and downsize in order to keep making ends meet. This is because inflation is skyrocketing, but salaries are stagnant. It is unsustainable. The CPI is a lie.
Cox sends out a nastygram when you hit 250 GB. Yet they keep raising the speed. Maybe they should start advertising "New! Higher speed! Hit your monthly download limit in only 8 hours!"
Well, that is why it is called Computer Science. If they want to learn to code, they should go to a vocation institute. If they want to be a well rounded, well educated person that understands the theory of how algorithms and computation work, then they should get a Computer Science degree, if they want to learn how computers function, they should get a Computer Engineering degree. If they want to manage computer people, they should get a MIS degree.
Two steps to getting the right people in the right jobs is: 1) Students understanding what the degrees mean and 2) HR understanding what the degrees mean.
This entire mystery wouldn't exist if they'd spent an extra $1000 on a $261 million dollar piece of equipment.
That's not true. There are already several things on the plane and off that could have been used to determine where the plane was. On the plane, they were turned off. Who's to say they wouldn't have turned off another piece of installed equipment?
Off the plane, nobody bothered to track it with information that was available. Probably because nobody thought it would disappear, and it wasn't about to run into somebody else's plane.
That's one thing that really sucks about modern cars. Since the control timing, fuel injection and all that stuff, you now absolutely MUST have some electricity in order to run. In the old days, once the car was started, you could disconnect the battery and it would hum right along. Now, if you do that, it will either just die, or possibly destroy something valuable and then die.

I don't pirate online music or videos either. My concerns cause me to just not partake at all rather than to try to justify obtaining it illegally.

I can vouch that in the United States, the GP is also wrong.
The great thing about standards is that everyone has got one.

Is Devmode back yet? Or alternatively, does SuperDevMode work correctly yet? I like Firefox as a browser, but can't test my GWT stuff in it.
How does it identify public traffic versus subscriber traffic? Will each router have two SSIDs by default?
Opting out should never be considered a reasonable mechanism for not being in a subscription group unless you have first opted in.

Why do commercial airliners have implicit ownership of the airspace?
They don't. In the U.S., the people own the air and the FAA makes sure that it is used safely.

That sounds good to me. May I also suggest "reheat on" and "arm missiles". Sorry, it's a tough commute.
