One of the common mods is to replace the 4 cylinder with the 6 cylinder that DMC had wanted as an option for the car.
You don't know what you are talking about. DMC-12s had only one engine option: the PRV, which is a V6. It's power output was a rather anemic 130HP, so perhaps there is an engine swap to a more powerful V6.
Exactly. A REAL cab company doesn't need liability insurance because they are going to have $8 million in a bond somewhere that can be used to pay for a catastrophe such as this.
Your version of events is completely wrong. One of their biggest debts is to the victim of a catastrophe. The fact that it is a debt shows that they did not pay the victim. It appears that they don't have any such bond. At least Uber has real assets that a victim can go after. Uber isn't going to go into bankruptcy over debts of $20M.
Its my understanding that if after the fact your insurace co decides you are under insured your insurance co doesn't have to pay anything. At least thats how it is with building insurace in Oklahoma I assume auto falls under the same rules.
Assuming you are correct, perhaps you should live in a state which doesn't hate its citizens so much.
Yes, if you under insure, your insurance company should not have to pay the full cost, but a reasonable approach is to reduce the payout by the percentage that you are under insured. In other words, if you valued your property at half its actual value, then the insurance company should only be liable for half the cost of any claim.
If they went bankrupt because of a lawsuit related to an injury then there is clearly more financial backing there as the plaintiff was able to go after their assets. Someone like Uber would have walked away from the case and thrown the driver under the bus (which they've already done at least once) and the person that got hurt would have never gotten a dime.
Did you not read the article? The Yellow Taxi company operates as a co-operative and argued that the driver was an independent contractor, just like Uber does. Apparently this position did not fly with the court, and it seems reasonable that if Uber made the same argument, the court would also make Uber liable.
Which is only good if you care about children getting a good education. If you think educating children is a secondary goal for schools, then yeah, put the children who want to learn together with children who don't.
You misunderstand. Charter schools mostly don't actually provide a better education for the bright children. They just select bright children so that the averages look better.
As long as: 1. Private schools that accept vouchers may not require any additional payment and any additional payments or donations by parents must go into a general fund, for the benefit of all pupils. 2. Private schools that accept vouchers may accept children on a neutral basis. 3. Private schools that accept vouchers may not expel pupils except under conditions that state schools would.
There are probably other restrictions needed, but the reality is that most of the "success" of charter schools or schools that accept vouchers is that they are selective in the pupils that they accept and keep in the school.
You don't have to dig up the road. You just have to get into one of the lockers.
That's true. I had not considered that. However, there is a lot of fibre in the area (for example, Savvis has a datacenter nearby) so, unless you knew which cable to cut, you would have to cut a lot of cables. You might set off an alarm by cutting the wrong cable.
The cable cuts that have occurred in the Bay Area have been above-ground cables, but all the cables in the vicinity of the Levi's Stadium (where the Superbowl is being held) are buried. So potential attackers have first to dig up the road.
There will be a big police presence so I doubt that someone digging up the road on Superbowl Sunday would go unnoticed.
I suspect that the majority of brands do the same thing more or less, so I'm not surprised.
I suspected as much myself. Other manufacturers must have tested the VWs and found out about the cheating -- so why did the cheating stay secret for so long? Probably because everyone was doing the same.
And why would a company pay 30% of it's revenue as tax? What if their margin is only 5% or 6%? Organizations don't pay taxes on revenue but on profit.
Because years ago, someone decided that instead of "profit", "net revenue" was a better term to use. There is probably some technical difference between "net revenue" and "profit", but the term is confusing to many.
In this case, I think that the GP means 30% of net revenue.
Data caps. I expect that's what keeps Reed Hastings awake at nights. When people expect 4K streams but their ISP charges an arm and a leg for the data in those 4K streams, Netflix becomes less viable.
Netflix will just block the IPs of known hosting providers, so most private VPN's are probably SOL too.
They might, but why bother? Netflix isn't harmed by the handful of people with the knowledge and time to set up their own proxy. Netflix will most likely block the endpoints of VPN vendors and then call it job done.
It was Voldemort who possessed it during the duel with Harry Potter. Voldemort's killing curse backfired onto himself because he wasn't the wand's master.
Completely unlike the ending of the The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant , published in 1983, in which the hero gives his ring to the antagonist, who attempts to kill the hero, but instead, the magic of the ring, when used against its rightful holder, takes away the antagonist's power.
To be fair, I would not be surprised if similar stories are not in many, many other books.
. The republican said "You guys talk about Trump a lot and I watch a lot of CNN. You never seem to cover the democrat primaries." The CNN talking heads didn't quite seem to know what to do
That's because they would have to admit that Clinton has a serious rival for the Democratic nomination: Bernie Sanders. They would prefer that the sheeple did not consider this possibility.
Cathegorically, *no*. X11 forbids the application from having any say over where its windows appear. At best it can give a hint. The Window manager is totally free to ignore this hint
X11 provides no standard or easy way to get the frame geometry once the window is decorated. Qt solves this problem with nifty heuristics and clever code that works on a wide range of window managers that exist today. Don't be surprised if you find one where QWidget::frameGeometry() returns wrong results though.
Antivirus is nothing more than yet another insurance policy.
No. Insurance pays out if you suffer a loss. AntiVirus? Go pound...
Antivirus is a business because it allows companies plausible deniability when they get compromised (in MBA speak "best practices").

My phone got an OTA update about 4 months ago. It's a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 2, which was released about 4 1/2 years ago.

FTFY.
Do you want an even larger pool of uninsured motorists driving around? Because that's how you get it.

Including a little company that trades under the name "Ikea". But one of Ikea's biggest costs: licensing the "Ikea" name from the Kamprad family.

Perhaps it needs to be (or appear to be) in the UK? BBC news works on one of my Roku boxes (the one that appears to be in the UK)
That's because they would have to admit that Clinton has a serious rival for the Democratic nomination: Bernie Sanders. They would prefer that the sheeple did not consider this possibility.
In a word: Roku. BBC has the iPlayer and there is a BBC News "Channel" on the Roku. You might need to route your traffic through a VPN, though.
