The 707 ceased production in the late 70's. It's true that some of the military variants that were based off of the 707 were still produced in the 90's, but these weren't called 707's and aren't what people think of when you say "Boeing 707".
I found a 4P burns about 30W when idle. It also has a fan that runs whenever it is on so you also got the noise to deal with. I only power it up when I have something to print.
On the other hand, it's built like a tank, 3rd party toner is cheap, and even though it's got to be about 20 years old the printouts are perfect every time.
Besides, I don't even see how basic income factors into that at all. It's not like we don't have problems with people stealing TVs (and other similar crime) with the current system.
In most jurisdictions, if you resign from your job you don't even qualify for the time-limited benefits in the first place. There are some exceptions to this, but "I don't want to work anymore." isn't one of them.
This is actually something you have to watch out for if you get laid off. Some less than honest companies will try to get you to sign a document that basically says "I resign" when they lay you off, that way they don't get dinged when you sign up for unemployment insurance.
Their fees are excessive, but in a good year one might argue they've earned it. But in a bad year, they'll still take their exorbitant slice right off the top, no matter how terrible their performance is. In the long run, my guess is that they won't do much better, if at all, than the S&P 500. And after those outrageous fees the investor will be worse off.
It's a world made up of blocks. The blocks are divided up into chunks, which are 16 by 16 blocks, and the world is 256 blocks tall. So you have 65536 blocks per chunk. I The visibility setting is the number of chunks you can "see" (have loaded) at one time, and I think it can up go up to 30 chunks in both directions, not counting the chunk your player is currently in. So you now have 61 by 61 chunks times 65536 blocks per chunk to load into ram. So you now have a few hundred million blocks blocks loaded into memory. I forget how many bytes per block the game needs nowadays, but even if you assume a few bytes per block you're in GB+ territory.
That the game is also written in Java doesn't help matters much either.
This late in the game? The first primary is months away. I'm sure there are potential candidates sitting on the sidelines waiting to see how this whole thing turns out before they decide whether or not to throw their hat in the ring. This could include Biden.
If I was going to do this, I'd buy a house in a very rural area. A lot of rural areas are in decline as the large mechanized farms means it takes less people to farm, so unless there's some other industry to fall back on (logging, mining, tourism, proximity to a major interstate, etc.) there really isn't a purpose anymore for these small rural towns. The upside would be that I would also have some land to grow a garden and living in the countryside would be rather serene. The downside is that I'd probably still need some income, even if only part time, and the reason the place is cheap in the first place is that there are no jobs to be had. Oh, and the lack of high speed internet.
That's just the new "normal" starting about 2008. No one would have claimed 5% unemployment was full employment even 10 years ago. That would have been crazy talk!
They've been saying that fiber will coming to my neighborhood "Soon!" since I moved in. I moved in 2008. On the other hand, their DSL has been extremely reliable, and that means I don't have to give any money to Comcast.
How could you prevent them from running? You could block them from appearing on the ballot, but in theory they could be elected as a write-in. What then?
I'm still saddened by the discontinuation of the Opera 12.xx line of browsers, but eventually came to the conclusion that Opera is the actually the best of the Chromium-based browsers that I found. Though nowadays I do most of my browsing in Pale Moon.
The internet is just a pipe, a way to send and recieve bits which makes it about as generic as possible. The bits could be anything (text, sound, pictures, videos, and more). I doubt it's going to go away anytime soon, as anything that can be described as bits can be sent over the internet. So our 3D digital holovision goggles will work just fine with the internet. Television on the other hand is just a way to send video. That makes television more analogous to services and technologies used on the internet, many of which have already gone away and replaced with something better, like Gopher, or are on the way out, like Flash.
Given that Windows 7 is going to be the new XP, my guess is that it will be well supported until it's EOL in 2020, and even then after that my guess is that you'll have a couple of years before seriously running into compatibility problems. There's always Windows 8.1 which is supported until 2023 too.
Windows Defender already mucks with your hosts file under the guise of malware protection. Given that it's entirely up to Windows to decide what it's going to do with your hosts file I don't see how you can trust it. The only way to really be sure is to block it at the router. A third party software firewall might work, but that assumes that Windows Defender won't decide it's malware and remove it.
Is the lifestyle actually that different? Or is the perception that they like to work later based solely based upon what their clocks say and not how late in the day it actually is?
As Intel goes, maybe. The last x86 branded chips I can think of would be the Cyrix 6x86MX chips. Which I had to guess aren't susceptible to this attack.
The hack also requires that the car's owner uses the keyfob to unlock the car too. I wonder how many people don't use them? I bought my car used and the previous owners had managed to lose all the keyfobs. I never bothered with replacing them and just use the key.
The best part of the IGP that I've found is when I lucked into a free 3770K, I was able to re purpose the 2600K into my Linux box, and suddenly that IGP that I was "never ever" going to use was a well supported, perfectly adequate solution for my Linux desktop without have to deal with binary blobs and whatnot.
But seriously, what gamer doesn't have a stack of old GPU's around? I'm not even a gamer and the number of old graphics cards I have is impressive.
When people talk about awful 70's cars, they generally refer to cars made after 1972. This is when the government's emission requirements killed the performance cars. That's why Cadillac's 500CI engine (that's 8.2L!) only made 190HP. The emission controls were often finicky and unreliable while adding cost to the vehicle. The 1973 year brought in new 5MPH bumper requirements which for many cars were implemented with large "battering rams" on the front and back of the vehicles which looked terrible especially on the cars styled before the regulation was enacted. Build quality was down - a lot of plastics were being used and the quality wasn't as good as today. Part of this was cost, and part of it was because safety regulations more or less forbid metal dashboards. Sheetmetal was thinner, paints weren't as good (environmental regs), so cars would start rusting in as little as 2-3 years and be rotted hulks in 7 years (this is in salt country, will vary in other climates). Styling is subjective, but with only some exceptions most don't really consider the 70's to be the high point of styling.
The early 80's automakers were reacting to oil scares, and everyone assumed that small, fuel efficient cars were the future and large V8 RWD cars were dead. FWD took over almost overnight, and automakers killed off most of their large RWD platforms. Fuel and emission requirements really squeezed what little performance was left, and especially American cars were slow and underpowered. This was the era of the 4 cylinder naturally aspirated "Iron Duke" Camero. Foreign cars were not so underpowered, mostly because they were light and very small and Europe/Asia had a lot of experience building the cars Detroit was trying to design. Japan was around in the 70's, but really started to come out with some very competitive products in the 80's, though they still had a strong tendency to rust which they really didn't get fixed until the 90's. In my opinion, build quality was up, the plastics held up much better and they had worked most of the bugs out of the early emission systems. Electronic control and fuel injection helped immensely with reliability, while at the same time these early systems were still simple enough for backyard mechanics to diagnose and fix. Styling is once again subjective - 80's cars tended to be very boxy until the late 80's when the "Aero" (Ford Taurus) look started to catch on. I happen to like many 80's cars and think they look way better than today's swoopy and overwrought styling, but that's just my opinion.
Yeah, but that involves dealing the TSA and the shit that the airlines put you through now. Don't forget tack a bunch of taxes and fees onto your $100-$120 airfare. Ditto for the rental car too. If I can get there in a full day of driving I'm driving it, no question.
That doesn't make sense. What if the charging station is 100 miles from the city you're visiting? You charge up, drive into the city, and you only got less than 100 miles of driving you can do before you have to start your return trip back to the charger? Cities are going to need charging stations for people visiting with an electric car.

According to this website:
http://www.geni.com/blog/look-whos-related-george-washington-and-all-the-presidents-325451.html
if you're related to any of the people who have been elected President, then you're somehow related to the rest of them. Note the word elected, as the only President that has not somehow been linked to George Washington is Gerald Ford.

Nothing, really. It's just everyone I knew, including myself, never registered and just clicked through the nag screen. Later, most switched to 7zip.
