" communicated by creating a draft of an email, which was then available to others who logged into that same account." Crikey! That trick is as old as they come!
"actually very hard to "step in front of" a moving car." Bullshit! Especially in today's world where most pedestrians - and drivers! - are absorbed in their smart-phones, it's incredibly easy to get run over as a pedestrian! Just how fucking stupid/unaware are you?!?
As someone who lives in a captive Windstream area, I can tell you that 75 minutes of outage would be GREAT! We regularly have outages that last for over a day!! Of course, here in Conservativia-land, any discussion of using the Gummint to force Windstream to allow competing ISPs to use the existing copper plant won't even get started, despite the suffering that local businesses go through over the outages.
....is the per-mile-driven accident rate greater or less with Autopilot (or equivalent) enabled? Basically, it's a "perfect is the enemy of the good" situation whereby some folks seem to want to limit autonomous driving until it is 100% perfect when we all know that humans are far, far less reliable.
That makes just about as much sense, but - then again - hypocritical Bible-thumpers are just Christian Ayatollahs with a different God, and so why would anyone expect anything less from such a mind(less)-set.
Well yes and the SCOTUS essentially ruled yesterday that Texas can't impose safety regulations on abortion providers because abortion is 'right' (disagree personally) and the procedure appears to be to safe (which is funny because its about the only medical procedure I am aware that is almost universally fatal). So the states interest in ensuring safety does not offer a reason for regulation and imposes an undue burden.
Which is complete horseshit. Texas's rules had ZERO to do with "safety" and EVERYTHING to do with making abortion (a legal medical procedure) much more difficult to obtain. Period. End of story. For someone, though, who posits a "Libertarian" viewpoint, you seem awfully anxious to allow the government to own a woman's body and her sovereign rights to it. Those rights do not disappear because your religious beliefs are otherwise. At least be honest enough to admit that big government, in your view, is BAD *unless* that power is used to satisfy your need for power over other people.
Actually, yes! If you'll take the time to actually read the First Amendment, it says: "Congress shall not..."
The Fourteenth Amendment then expanded all of the protections of the Constitution to States as well since they had gotten onto the very bad habit of restricting the Liberties guaranteed by that Constitution in the interest of "States Rights".
But, cling bitterly to your beliefs, man.
That's just stupid! I'm 62 years old and been in a few situations that were life-threatening and involved guns. Universally, more guns by people in a given situation == more stupid shit!
Listen, I'm no pussy Liberal and own 3 guns (Charter Arms 1911-clone; Ruger 10-22 and Ruger Blackhawk.357 magnum, with a 5" barrel) but our country is fucking insane when it comes to guns! Guns have become our new God! Why would I say that? Simple: when you regularly, willingly sacrifice your children and others on a regular basis, you are worshipping your God!
If we ever wake up and decide to do something sensible, I'd happily qualify, license or surrender my guns. No problem. Again, I like my guns a lot, but I do NOT love/worship them to the extent that I'm willing to be complicit in the worship of a false God.
After Columbine, theoretically most police departments were trained better in responding to such situations with the "diamond formation" of 4 officers in a, yes, diamond formation who would follow the sounds of gunfire to eliminate the shooter.
Obviously, Orlando PD never got the memo.
It's always situational, of course, but in this scenario it is unconscionable that the OPD would delay for 3 hours!
This has been their policy all along. From weird fasteners that require a special "Apple tool" to almost-impossible to obtain spare parts, there's never been any doubt about their intent - maximize AAPL profit at all cost! (To consumers, that is....)
...you WILL get fleas. Seriously, why would anyone use such a super-suck-worthy product from such a notoriously greedy company that is known to give less than a bubbly-fart's worth of care about their customers?
Why? For the mobile, ultra-thin, etc devices you already have wireless, ethernet-over-USB, etc. Why, oh why, fuck with a great existing standard? Just to accommodate devices that already do not have them?
No thanks!
Yep, I can verify that. Worked for Data General and the original Nova series used all core memory. The "core stacks" arrived in Mass from Asia and were then mounted on the memory card itself. Took the cover off of a dead one one time and it looked like velcro until I got it under a magnifying lamp. Even then, I was amazed at the dexterity it must take!
I mean - do you even have to ask the question? China owns enough now that they can make Apple sit up, roll over, play dead, anything they want. And, guess who gave China all that money? Yep, us.
While there are certainly some benefits to be found in some of the IoT stuff, but - again - another case of people relying on providers who rely on suppliers who always shop on price and...tada! Lowest-common-denominator.
Be very, very careful out there! Forget Big Brother, it's Big Everyone!
Therefore, we should chisel all data onto stone tablets!! Great solution, Nutria!!!

I took a quick look at it and - while I kinda get the appeal - it just seems to me to be too much variation from standard coding practices and, as someone who spent way too much time deciphering kabuki-like single line C statements that should have been a proper function, I'm not a big fan of shortness for the sake of shortness.
I personally have found that standard JPA and Java, with much help from OpenXava, is the best combination of ease-of-development and flexibility for my app needs.
But, that's just one man's opinion...
While I do have mod points, you're well on your way to 5 anyway and I wanted to applaud your stance whole-heartedly. Look, I am a capitalist pig and get that the website owners need some form of income to pay for their costs and - yes - profit. And, I also get that ads can be very beneficial (I've seen ads for stuff I didn't know existed, clicked, bought, etc.). HOWEVER.....I'm reminded of the early days of the internet trade shows. First, the booth-babes who knew next to nothing, but were otherwise inoffensive. Within 2 years it was nothing less than a porn show until the organizers finally put the kabosh on it. Internet ads today have become like that, but even worse (being able to fuck with your computer) and there's no authority to shut them down. Hence ad-blockers. If they ever learn their lesson, the need for ad-blockers would evaporate. But, as John Belushi said: "But Nnnnnooooooo...."
The poster is likely from the UK or somewhere similar where "maths" is perfectly correct. Like where we in America will say "a company is..." they are likely to say "a company are...". A bit stilted to American ears, but normal usage for them. Lighten up!
That's easy - in America today, Guns are one of our Gods. How can you tell that? Because we regularly sacrifice our children on the altar of worship to our God.

So "victim's claims" are more accurate than "actual vehicle logs", eh? Your paranoia/hate is duly noted....

Actually, IAX is a much better protocol. It just arrived AFTER SIP had been declared The Standard(TM) for VoIP.

Actually, real TV journalism can still be found on PBS NewsHour. For print, it's The Economist or nothing.
