It sounds like the state should have written its laws a bit different. Lexington, KY has a big distribution center and KY collects sales tax from those sales.
A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
And no less realistic than the Nordic States or high altitude location in Europe. Modern diesels run just fine in the winter and start jut fine too. Will my fellow Americans quit spewing rhetoric from the 70s?
I have a 1998 TDI that gets the same with airbags and other safety features. I had a '86 IDI that got 50 consistently.
I can tow a trailer and get 38ish. Interior room is enough for 4 adults comfortably with the trunk full of their stuff.
A car the size of any hybrid I've seen on the road could easily get 55 MPG if run on a smallish diesel engine. The VW Polo probably has as much room as a Prius on the inside and gets 75 MP USG (91.1 MP UKG) highway and 56 MP USG (67.3 MP UKG).
Yeah, just like the SMART car that has an excellent crash rating even though it's tiny. If you design your cars right you don't need a lot of mass. Actually the stiffer you make the car the more unsafe it is for the occupants. You want it to 'cushion'.
And for your example of vehicle weights. Take the VW Golf. It's consistently gotten bigger since the Mk1. 155 in long, 63 in wide, 55 in high. 1750 lbs. The current Mk6 Golf R weighs 3300. However they introduced cars smaller than the Golf that are smaller like the Polo and Lupo. The Polo will get near 65+ MPG USA highway. Americans don't want 'small' or diesel cars.
More adverse conditions than exist in Norway, Sweden and Finland? When I went to Colorado up in the mountains near Opher everyone was driving old beat up Toyota trucks and Subarus. It's only the people in the flat lands that go to the mountains, if ever, that think you need a 4 ton truck.
If it's all going to PDF/ePub for the students why does it matter? People write gorgeous looking theses with LaTeX every day, it looks much better than Equation Editor.
Can you push back at all? These decisions sound like they're made by management more than anything.
A while back slashdot had a story about Open Source text books. I scanned through the books they had available and they were absolute junk. It appeared to be written in word with formulas printed out then scanned in as images and inserted inline. Needless to say they looked horrible.
Has the opensource Calculus book moved on to LaTeX since then or does it still look the same?
Yes. Why didn't Android devs put full thought into having ACLs and the such? I think something like solaris's pfexec! Perfect. I mean the average android phone has probably what, 100, 1,000, 10,000 concurrent users?
Damn, man, if you'd bothered to run Linux/FLOSS all this time, you could have just fscking ignored the whole malware situation entirely.
You mean like Android? No matter what the adoption rate of Linux or even OpenBSD, you're still going to have dumb users. When you need 'sudo' to install a new app. That same command can be used to install anything.
Maybe I should have put a [sic] after HIPPA since that's how the original post had it.
Either way: - a health care provider that conducts certain transactions in electronic form (called here a "covered health care provider"). - a health care clearinghouse. - a health plan.
Which one of those is Google? If a reporter comes to my hospital and asks the doctors "Does he have cancer?" it would be a violation of HIPAA to give them the answer.
If I ran down the hallway screaming "I have cancer! I have cancer!" It would not be a violation for any of those people to spread the word. Same goes for Myspace, Facebook, or in this case, Google.
Ha. You old people are so funny. You could never do anything real on a 366 MHz processor. I mean, like, the Android I got for christmas has at LEAST 1200 megahertzes. I bet they had at least that when they went to that moon or invented the awesome SR-71.
Who are these indian kids that would even get this. I would be soooo mad if someone got me this for christmas. Such a horrible gift. No one could ever even use it.
Because MBAs (or people in MBA roles) repeatedly attract people with this sociopathic mentality. Yes, engineers, computer scientists, and other intelligent people do get MBAs to supplement their other degree but numerous people just go straight for the MBA with no real understanding of anything else.
Look at the tops of Eron, Bernie Madoff, and all the big banks. Every single one has exhibited the exact same mentality that this guy has. Even after the destruction of the US economy they all are just sorry they got caught. Look at the videos of them in front of congress. They all have the "What, should I not have done that? Was that wrong?" demeanor. THEN they go back asking to get bailed out. If I managed to lose all of my family's money gambling I'd feel ashamed to go back and ask for more.
And part of the reason there is a demand for them is pure greed. Greed from investors. It just sets itself up as a limit cycle. Investors demand more short term returns. MBA types give them short term returns at large long term costs. But investors are happy, so they demand more MBA types. Look at the good stuff that came out of the R&D labs back in the day Bell Labs, XEROX Parc, etc that all got cut because some MBA didn't see their immediate value to the next quarter.
I'm sure these "other clients" are similar to the Mayor of Boston. This guy has a major superiority complex and narcissism to spare. He's that guy you knew that could do no wrong. He was always a smooth talker (or thought he was) and went into business for himself. Even though his kid could make a better wwebsite his looks like it was slapped together (and it was plagiarized from numerous sources).
No matter what he does he's always the victim. Look at all of his postings even when he realized who Mike (Gabe) was. He thinks that all PR is good PR and probably thinks he won the lottery. "Forbes, MSNBC, AND Slashdot want an interview!". Anyone that has basic skills of google will never hire him again. Unfortunately other MBAs most likely don't, they'll meet him on the golf course or in the bar and he'll be the smooth talker and get another job that way. Having not learned a thing from this.
When I grew up we had a 19" RCA. One christmas we got a huge 32" TV. I got the 19" RCA and used it in my teenage years. As far as I know the thing still works.
What do you think coal plants are throwing up every second of every minute of every day? Rainbows?
Nuclear power accidents are to Coal Plants as Airplane crashes are to car crashes. If an airplane crashes oh no, terrible, 200 people dead at once even though there are at least that many people that die every day in car crashes just one at a time. Nuclear accidents do a whole lot of damage at once but very infrequently.
Statistically speaking I'd say Nuke is safer just like Airplanes are safer.
GoDaddy helped write the legislation such that they are exempt from it.
Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO), the only member of Congress present at the hearing with any tech experience, having founded several web companies, introduced two amendments: one to exclude universities and non-profits from being subject do having to shut down their own domain servers if accused of piracy under SOPA, and the other to exempt dynamic IP addresses, such as those found on web-enabled printers. Both were voted down.
Polis pointed out that SOPA and Smith’s amendment already excluded certain operators of sub-domains, such as GoDaddy.com, from being subject to shutdowns under SOPA.
“If companies like GoDaddy.com are exempt, why aren’t non-commercial domain servers exempt?” Polis asked.

Fine then. Maybe all this melting with get us the other gate.

Why will it be around for thousands of years? If it's still radioactive. USE IT AS FUEL.
Not using it for a fuel is a stupid law enacted by the people that were scared of nuclear powers.

Why not just tell it to land? The Iranians got it to work. If this is a UAV confuse the hell out of it. If remote controlled just cut off the signal.
I'm sure flooding the RF spectrum is a bit better looked upon than firing stuff into the air.
That implies they one had here boats.
At least we know where BadAnalogyGuy works now.
