I concur. Not gonna brag, but I never liked the simple shapes... always thought it would be too easy to guess.
One of the connections on my code is from the top row, far left dot to the middle row, far right dot. It's possible, uncommon, and makes a very hard to guess pattern while still being pretty easy to unlock with one hand, IMHO. Just to help illustrate your non-adjacent comment.
She is simply saying that our risk aversion is completely different when we're faced with a loss rather than with a gain, even though the end result is the same. THAT is the interesting bit.
Great. Too bad that doesn't offset all the other bullshit he's pulled. Just because he accidentally chose the right horse in the race once doesn't exonerate him from his wrongdoing.
Of course, your Bluetooth hack is a bug in car's BT system. The system shouldn't be set to pairing mode unless it's manually initiated, so it shouldn't matter what the auth codes are. If the device wasn't previously paired, it shouldn't be accessible. Same issue as with the tires, it's not validating input properly because someone was lazy.
You still stop faster, and you keep going in the same direction you were when you slammed on the brakes. What he was talking about was that he was in-control enough of his car that he could do those things manually better than ABS can help.
ABS is for the 90% of drivers who panic and can't actually drive. It increases stopping distance, but it allows control to a panicked driver who just slams their foot down. Somebody who actually knows how to work their vehicle will have locked up the wheels to slow down even faster, and then eased off the brake when they needed to actually steer. It's not that hard, it just takes the right instincts and training.
There is a difference, but if you're there for the wrong reasons, it doesn't matter. You're still dead and you never should have been there in the first place, gun in your hand or not.
It was from 2006. That has nothing to do with "planned movements". That's shit that's already happened and that is being classified to keep the public from knowing about it and being able to vote as informed citizens.
This was leaked precisely because it PROVES that you can't trust the government completely with that. They attempted to sanitize it, and even get the Pentagon to remove the truly secret information but they got stonewalled. Now if there's a choice between no information and information, I side with the information. Otherwise it's no better than living in a police state.
Your comment is perhaps the one that should be held up as an example of an uninformed, average citizen.
Yeah. But all those soldiers that are dying over there in the war are expected, right? We can just ignore all of those deaths, and just focus on the informants.
The information was leaked because it is critical that the voters know what they're supporting over there. Otherwise, we could be told that "everything is rosy!" and given the government control over media, we'd be none the wiser.
Assuming you want to live in a democracy and not a military state, the documents needed released. Hiding information from voters just makes our government a farce. He gave the government a chance to whitewash the names and such that would cause danger, and they chose to ignore him.
Seriously... you sound like you'd have been perfectly happy with the government telling you that the Jews were evil.
I said it before and I'll say it again. Apple may be legally protected, but it doesn't mean that it isn't a shitty move that reeks of unethical conduct. If they can't come up with their own sample UI, what invention could they have actually made?
Apple may be legally in the clear, but it's just one more notch on the "Apple unapologetically fucks over people" bedpost.
DIY baby monitor = only if you're interested in it. It's cheaper to get an off the shelf one unless you really want to get into constructing those things.
But I have an inkling that the GPP is one of those who thinks woodwork is neater than electronics work. Far be it from me to criticize taste, but I will criticize him for denigrating other people's hobbies.
And that's why you train your animals properly. It's not hard, it just takes some work. You can't just buy a dog and expect it to just happen, any more than you have a child and expect them to be fine without any guidance.
In my MBP, there are separate temperature probes on the CPU, hard drive, battery and chipset, but none on the dual video chip units, so the thermostat-controlled fan won't even kick in when either the "integrated" nor the "high performance" video units are the only stressed component.
Sounds like a hell of a design problem. Given what you had to have paid for it, I'd take it back. There's no excuse for that kind of incompetence.
Either that, or you just don't know what the hell you're talking about. I give it 50/50 odds.
Wow. For a university professor, you have pretty shitty reading comprehension. Didja note where I said "high school"?
As for university classes, I have(had) no problem doing the required work. When one class takes 4-5x as much work for the same amount of credit as other classes is when I take exception. Especially when it's in the same department as the others. THAT is when shit is out of line. Get off your high horse.
Just remember that you are not their only teacher. That's the thing that always got me in school... every teacher said "it's not that much!" but when you add it all together (and you're working a job through high school) it's a hell of a lot of work. 100 pages of reading a week isn't that much. But if I have to do 700 pages of reading each week because I have 7 classes? That's two novels a week.
It's quite common in testing situations that you have to write code without the benefit of a computer to validate it before you hand it in. But that's mostly in theory courses, not in classes like Graphics or something where you have to do the projects on a computer.

That only works if you tell everyone about it, though. It's like the human version of being a skunk...

You got the wrong message.

My toll tag attaches to the windscreen with velcro, and it's in the glovebox when I'm not on a toll road.
But a conspiracy is SO much more juicy than the truth!

Depends on the state. I'd get out of Massachusetts while the getting was good.

Do you really want to be in that position?

What about battery replacement costs? I notice those missing in your calculations.
I said it before and I'll say it again. Apple may be legally protected, but it doesn't mean that it isn't a shitty move that reeks of unethical conduct. If they can't come up with their own sample UI, what invention could they have actually made?

Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's right. Copying someone else's UI as an "example" of what you are patenting is VERY ethically bankrupt.

Yes, piss off your neighbors. The ones who would otherwise call the cops if there was something odd going on at your house. Good idea.

So when I leave the US, I give up my citizenship until after I get back in? Or does the constitution only apply to citizens inside the borders?
They could ask him questions without detaining him. Detaining him was a show of force.
