It's worth nothing that reinforced cockpit doors appear to have caused at least one plane crash where the pilot decided to commit suicide and take the rest of the passengers along for the ride.
So they're not a cost-free option.
It's also worth noting that, if the passengers had known what the hijackers had planned, they wouldn't have got anywhere near the cockpit doors before being beaten to death. The real flaw was the expectation that the hijackers would let them off in a day or two so they should just sit back and wait.
If we'd been beating the crap out of hijackers for decades instead of going along with them, 9/11 would never have happened.
This was on an Air Canada flight heading south. I don't recall the type of plane, sorry. Heading back on WestJet had no USB port.
Every Air Canada plane I've flown on in the last few years that had in-flight entertainment also had USB ports for charging. They also have 110V power, though that's only for one seat in two back in cattle class.
Corporations can exist, and employ people, without owning the government like they do now.
They can only do that when government is so small as to make no difference. Big business and big government are two parts of the same organism, and rarely exist without the other.
If the fastest way to get rich is to have your friends in the government give you billions of dollars of taxpayers' money, that's how many big corporations will make their living.
Where all member states are gathered *as equals* to do what Germany wants.
While that's often true, I'm sure I remember the British government suggesting this some years ago.
What usually seems to happen is that EU governments who want to impose draconian rules but can't get them past their own voters go to the EU, get it passed there, and then say 'sorry, we can't stop it, it's the EU, got to to what they tell us, boy, we're so totally upset about this'.
Haven't played in years, eh? You might as well have said decades then. From a technological standpoint, that much has changed.
I said 'I haven't played the Battlefield games in years,' not 'I haven't played in years'
Note 'the Battlefield games'.
If you understood English, you'd realize that refers to a specific set of games that I haven't played in years, the latest of which happens to be the one they're benchmarking, so it might be much more CPU-intensive than the many games I have played, most of which were designed for consoles with a tiny fraction of the i7's processing power.
I take it you weren't around at the time? I remember many magazine articles about how Itanium was going to replace x86 everywhere, before it turned out to suck so bad at running x86 code.
MaximumPC paints this a little bit different. Where only lower end cpu's get a big boost in conjecture with higher end AMD cards.
I was wondering how that made any sense, because I've never seen my i7 more than 20% used in any game where I've monitored CPU usage. However, I haven't played the Battlefield games in years.
I'm not a web designer, but I don't see what the problem is in the situation you've posed. HTML is supposed to deliver the semantic content to the browser, while CSS is supposed to deliver the display instructions to the browser, exactly in accordance with what you said.
Hint: CSS arrived in the graphic designer era, and is precisely the problem.
Instead of the browser determining how to display the content, you are telling the browser how to display it, and if you don't happen to have produced a.css file which works on a WhizzPhone 2000, it looks like crap.
Regions are a horrible, messy, awkward layout model that fundamentally contradicts many of the benefits of HTML layout - particularly for different devices and screen sizes.
Yes, we'd all be much better off if the web server just provided content and the browser figured out how to display it, but, sadly, hat boat sailed twenty years ago, when graphic designers jumped on the web bandwagon. 'But my page must be precisely 1920 pixels wide with the text in 36-point Comic Sans, or I'll just die!'.
Except you are forgetting about AMD and how they have a total lock on the console space for the next 5 to 7 years which should keep plenty of money flowing towards the Jaguar.
The console market is high volume on tiny margins, so that's probably a pretty small 'plenty of money'.
So that it would compete with the iPad. I mean that crippled piece of shit(the iPad which has these same limitations) seems pretty popular among the people that want things like slate devices in the workplace.
That's because it has an Apple logo on the front.
Apple are the Lexus of the computer market, while Microsoft are the Yugo. People only buy Windows products because they want to run Windows programs, and Windows For ReTards doesn't.
FTFA: "The issues are simply down to differences in the Norwegian network that Tesla has not experienced elsewhere"
So, when my software doesn't work in Norway, I can just say 'the issues are simply down to differences in Norway that we've not experienced elsewhere', and everyone will be happy?
If you went to bed assuming you'd have a full charge in the morning, only to find that it only charged for 10 minutes before shutting off, you'd think that the charger was broken.
If it only charged for ten minutes before shutting off, the charger is broken.
This is like saying a car is bad because the gas hose does not fit when it gets cold. It is not an issue with the car.
That's like saying that when a 3D game won't run because they rely on driver bugs which don't exist in our driver, it's the game's problem. That might well be true, but everyone using our GPU will blame it on us.
Similarly, no-one will care whether it's 'the cable's fault' when they're stranded in the middle of nowhere at 40 below zero and unable to recharge their car.
One of the best toys we had as kids was a huge cardboard box. On different days it would be a castle, or a spaceship, or an Moon base, or a cave, or... heck knows what.
Kids are quite happy to use their imagination, so long as they haven't had it beaten out of them by 'structure'.
And you could open the drive door while the tape was moving, destroying it in the process.
A friend once pulled a cartridge out of a Sinclair microdrive when it was operating. We never realized there was that much tape inside them until we saw it spewed out all over the floor.

I think Mantle is only used by games. Libreoffice is probably using OpenCL. Maybe the poster got confused because the update includes both things.
I'm still trying to understand exactly what kind of obscene spreadhseet abuse would actually require GPU accelerated math.

The moral issue comes in the form of "Let's print out arms with the strength of a gorilla and attach them to babies!"
How's that a moral issue? Seems more like an engineering issue to me.
If Its my family member and that printed organ can keep them alive long enough for a donated organ to be found...hell yes.
Come now. It's perfectly ethical to watch millions of people die while you argue about the ethics of using new technology to save them.
They don't want you to look at their website with your fonts/layout, since you suck at design.
Yes, unlike the 'designer' who 'designed' a web page that assumes you're on a desktop PC with Flash, not a 7" tablet without.
But I guess it guarantees a job for life as you have to keep producing yet more different versions of the same page for every new device.
It's because of graphic design that people use the web.
The layout is half the content.
That'll be why most web pages I visit are unusable on my 7" tablet unless I zoom in on the specific part I need to read or interact with.

That quote is not appropriate; x86 has been markedly inferior to each and every architecture displaced.
Aside from, you know, minor things like cost and performance.
I cannot find any evidence of Windows NT supporting ARM before Windows 8.
I suspect they're confusing it with MIPS.

Anyone who has lived in cold country who doesn't have a cold weather car horror story doesn't own a car.
Wow. Apparently I don't own a car. I must have imagined driving it this morning.

Because its firggin obvious no internal combustion engines have starting problems below freezing.
It's not a 'starting problem', it's a 'refuelling problem'. I've refuelled my car at 40 below zero before, with no problems.
And it starts at 30 below zero if I forget to plug the heater in, though it's not very happy about that.
