Which is why you carry one of those emergency hammers designed to shatter tempered glass. It gets their attention. And when asked how I hit them with the hammer I asked how they were within arms reach when the law states there is a minimum 3' passing distance.
It sounds like they just hired the wrong group to do/design it. UPS, FedEx and the USPS have systems that track and sort hundreds of thousands if not millions of packages a day. Amazon and any large pick and pull warehouse have similar systems that do to a large number of automated pick and pull operations.
Is there any manufacturer out there (3rd party or not) that JUST makes big screens? I know in the world of desktop monitors you can get one of those generic Korean 2560x1440 monitors for relatively cheap.
I want a big 50-60" screen with a few HDMI in ports and nothing else. Nothing. If I want OTA I'll have another box decode that.
I was in court the other day waiting to talk to someone and I overheard the prosecutor talking to an old guy.
He was on a few meds and was tired of them getting stolen out of his lunch box so he would take just what he needed that day in a zip lock bag. He got pulled over for something, the cops found the bag and he spent 4 days in jail.
It took his family that long to raise the 10% to give to the bail bondsmen. (Meaning he got nothing back). Plus his car was impounded for 4 days.
The whole experience cost him $2k-3k by my estimation. He came in with with a bag of all of his prescription bottles along with a printout from his pharmacy with every single prescription he filled for the last 8 years.
Prosecutor looked really carefully at all of it. Even called him out because he handed him the wrong bottle (It was from March 2012, not March 2013). Finally got it all sorted.
"Oops, our bad." That's it. Charges dropped. That's it. "Go home, we're done here". No appology. No money back. I'd like to think that this is an isolated incident but I know it's not. Every single other person waiting for the prosecutor was in there for minor possession charges. And everyone was wondering why he was 2 hours behind seeing people.
I've spent probably $500 at Amazon in the last few months and I have to pay sales tax (KY). It shows up in 2 days. (And if it ships from the distribution center in town the next day). Excellent return policies. Usually the cheapest price and I can do it from my couch without having to drive to the store.
Exactly. This isn't a major, it's a class at most. I'm a Mechanical engineer and took a few CS classes as electives.I was the only one in my class of CS majors that would unit test. I wrote script upon script to beat my projects to death. Consequently I also managed to get one of the highest grades in the class. This was back in 2003 when "CS" meant "I like computers" but there were numerous people in my class that would turn in half assed work.
Except in 30 years that kid could likely be taking care of you in a home or driving a bus or even being a Dr taking care of you. Your cat won't.

It is legal to photograph or videotape anything and anyone on any public property.
Photographing private property from within the public domain is legal, with the exception of an area that is generally regarded as private, such as a bedroom, bathroom, or hotel room. In some states, there is no definition of "private," in which case, there is a general expectation of privacy. Should the subjects not attempt to conceal their private affairs, their actions immediately become public to a photographer using an average lens or video camera.
If you are in a city park for what ever reason, I can pop up a camera and video tape you as much as I want.
Because Netflix took the initiative to do stuff like AD and House of Cards. I figure I'd reward them for it.
I'm explicitly not rewarding my cable company for giving me Showtime/HBO along with 9 channels of QVC, a few religious stations and a ton of other crap I don't want. As h4rr4r has pointed out if they come along with something I might.
Plus most of the TV shows I watch are OTA. I just consider Sickbeard an alternative to MythTV and much easier to use.
I watch all of my TV on a traditional set.... through a HTPC running XBMC. All my shows grabbed using SickBeard on a server. It's like a massive DVR machine. Also just added NetFlix to the mix for Movies and Arrested Development.
There is an annual contract for the cell phone. Or you can pay for your phone on your cell phone with your credit card. Those don't have 'annual fees' (usually) but you still have to pay them off.
I always wished I could be an ISO9000 certifier. Guy came in for 2 days. Reviewed a bunch of documents. Got a $200 meal on us and some very expensive (and long) business lunches.
Not just getting out of but getting into. Getting into Poland, Germany, and Denmark all took maybe 15 minutes. Walked through the line. Looked at me, looked at the passport. Stamped it. Away I went.
In the US you have to fill out the landing card. Then the queue is about 90 minutes long. They asked me where I went. How long I was gone. Why would I ever leave glorious America. Then I got to go through.
The Germans love driving. They love driving fast. I can see why it is set up so that "the first self-driving vehicles will perform only specific tasks." To numerous of them driving isn't just something to get from point A to point B. Which is why most German cars didn't have cupholders, etc that American cars did back in the 80s.
I was recently working in Germany and a coworker mentioned that some lawmakers want to put a speed limit but there is heavy, heavy resistance funded in part by VAG and Benz. He likened it to America's gun culture. and with that analogy some of the stuff some of our gun rights advocates say makes sense to them. (Not all of it, some of it is crazy rhetoric.) You don't touch Germans' driving/cars and you don't touch Americans' guns.
Not really. He never mentioned why he exactly wanted it to be encrypted. It also deletes the evidence of the police doing something wrong. What if it was a cop that ran the red light but said it was you? What if you pull up and see a cop beating someone?
He doesn't throw the card away. The "prying eyes" do. If his car gets searched and they confiscate the contents of his car. It's very easy for an SD card to go missing or get formatted.

One of them is opt-in. One of them is not.

The difference is pumped water doesn't have to deal with PV=nRT. Most are between 70-80% efficient.

You know that this is pretty much US only? In Germany where I worked all of the engineers were unionized.
Granted the unions seem to be quite a bit different. The UAW is quite a bit different than most of the German unions I worked with.
Other than you know, iOS which if you get down to it is pretty heavily based on OS X.

Even at work where I use Matlab I try to test every single scenario possible in my scripts. Especially the stuff that I put on Matlab File Exchange, for example: https://github.com/jedediahfrey/matlab_saveppt2/blob/master/Test_SavePPT2.m
You know that some cities still haven't timed their lights, right?

"Hrm. Well there, this SD card looks blank. Format."
And it's tossed in the trash because it was broken.
