How about the HBO movie "Game Change" where we can quote Julianne Moore instead? If even half this movie is true it's scary. And Woody Harrelson was great.
The only drought proof source of water in California is the Pacific Ocean. Build large scale solar or nuclear plants in the desert, send power to shorline or offshore desalination plants, and pipe the water back. This combined with treating sewage water dumped into the ocean is the way of the future. Some states and countries are already doing one or both, but it has to be done at a higher level of government, not each individual water entity.
I started getting similar "average usage" reports a couple of months ago from SDGE, probably for the same reason.
BF4 is only recently getting all the bugs worked out if it because they released it too early. I'm just starting to play, mainly because Second Strike is out. After all the Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, Half Life, Counter Strike, and Battlefield series, I have arrived at BF4, and will stay a while.
Incredibly annoying and too bright, which is obvious when viewed within a group of cars with "normal" headlights. Also seems popular on a few (not all) lowered Japanese cars with big mufflers and SUVs with shiny rims. Maybe it's a local thing, but near the southern California border there are lots of Baja vehicles lifted just enough in the front to place their bright, white headlights directly into your eyes. Sometimes they have similar lights on the back, so they can get you in two directions.
Exactly, and not even intentionally. I attended an evening event in a suit and afterwards went to meet my wife at a casino. I ordered some food to take back to the bingo hall and was surprised at how cheap it was for the food and drink I ordered. At the time I just thought they had great prices for players, but later when I was eating I looked closer at the receipt and noticed a very nice employee disount. I didn't say I worked there and wasn't wearing any kind of badge. I guess they took a look at this tall guy in a suit with short hair and assumed he was a pit manager or something, instant discount without even asking.
Yeah, I know kids from the late 70s/80s who would spend a day going from convenience store to convenience store buying $.15 or $.25 candy or unsweetened packs of Koolaid with $1 food stamps because they would get $.75 or $.85 in real money change. By the end of the day they would have $20 or $30 or $40 in coins, which could then be used by their parents to buy cigarettes, beer, gas, or whatever else the food stamps couldn't be used for. When they ran out of food stamps they would go to various churches (in a larger city) and get free bags of random food and sometimes fuel vouchers, probably so you would drive far enough away from their location. Tip - if you make corn flakes with powdered milk, it gets soggy in less than a minute, so eat it fast. Some of these kids went into the military, or eventually college, or are self-taught managers, and most have successful careers and own their homes. There was one who went into construction and hasn't been doing so well lately...
Traffic signals are a different application. A few yeard ago I heard of a city somewhere up north that replaced all their incandescent traffic signals with LEDs. When winter came, the new signals, using 90% less power, didn't emit enough heat to melt the snow that accumulated in the signal housing. The snow can build up enough to completely block the light, resulting in confusion and accidents all over the city. They had to either go back to incandescents, install a heater element, or modify the housings. This shouldn't affect the street lighting.
All of our MTS busses have converted to LED headlights, which isn't hard to notice because they are exessively bright, even during the day.

My favorite Japanese restaurant is next to a beauty salon. It was closed for nearly 3 months because a piece of equipment in the salon was left on and caught the place on fire. The salon is more dangerous than the kitchen and no place for having servers nearby.
We realized that a truck could be driven into our server room, so we had some very large rocks added to the landscape. A drunk driver would need to be launched off of some kind of ramp to crash through the building.
Nothing is going to happen if he is related to someone in upper management, or just really good friends with them. It's like the demotivator, "Neoptism - We promote family values here - almost as often as we promote family members." Or close friends of the family.
Can't you turn off in app purchases on the iPhone? I have it turned off almost all the time and let the kids use it because I know they can't make these kinds of purchases. I don't even want to make these kind of purchase myself. If it's a setting in the iPhone, then someone should tell the guy.
Someone did mention the BIOS copying the boot loader:

Yes, but the point is, if the system is powered down when it's stolen, or the hard drive is removed from the system, the full disk encryption will still protect the data. This is only a valid attack vector in the highly unlikely occasion that you have access to the powered on system, and even then it's somewhat dubious as to whether you'll get the data you need off of it. As I said though, this is very interesting from an academic standpoint for the simple fact that it is something that hasn't really been thought of. That being the case though, I can already think of one way to prevent this. Simply store your decryption keys at memory offset 0000:7C00, which will ensure that the BIOS copies the boot loader over your keys the next time the system boots (on x86 systems at any rate).

How do they intend to present these ads? On billboards in the game, mid-screen while waiting to re-spawn? Or is it product placement? For example, you tell your squad member to watch out for the guy behind the gray Honda Ridgeline that YOU see, but he never looks because all HE sees is a red Chevy Corvette, and as he runs past it some futuristic spec-ops or sniper steps out and shanks him in the kidney.
Retinal detachment will lead to small pieces of tissue released into the vitreous fluid (eye juice), which causes "eye floaters." These small pieces of tissue floating around in your eye fluid cast shadows onto your retina, which interfere with your vision. Interference with your vision can range from minimal to extremely distracting, usually depending on how much tissue is in the fluid and on lighting conditions. There is no cure for this condition yet, only one eye doctor claims to be able to cure it with laser surgery, but until there is a vitreous fluid transplant, you will be stuck with them for life. There is some hope, as you age the fluid tends to thicken and slow the movement of the tissue particles, by which time you will probably have other eye conditions to worry about.
I think that if your arms are fully extended and your palms are facing upwards, then the rotation would be backwards. I tried this and to have my palms facing ME, I had to have my elbows bent, then made fists and rotated them outwards, which was in fact counter-clockwise for the right one and clockwise for the left one, when looking down towards the top of the fists. It did seem to help a little.
I've been looking at a variety of monitors since around 1988 (rapidly increasing since around 1993) and also read frequently, which I think has contributed to a slight near-sightedness. Being inside naval vessels for extended periods of time probably doesn't help either.
What I've noticed more after time in front of the monitor are "eye floaters" or shadows of thread or cellular-like material that drifts across my field of vision. I can move my eyes and control the direction they drift. This condition happens to almost all people as they age, some may notice it and others might not, but if you have lots of them or notice flashes of light or "stars" around your field of vision, then you definitely need to get to a real eye doctor to have it checked.
One or two doctors claim it can be cured or reduced using lasers, but most will say that there is nothing you can do except adjust the light to minimize the effects. I'm not saying extended computer use causes these, but sitting in the blue glow sure makes them more noticible.
I concur! Besides, the site looks just fine to me in IE, I can read everything, nothing is so "broke" that prevents me from viewing the content, even though it's super slow from the/. effect.
It bothers me that he would make such an interruption and big deal out of it when he probably hasn't ever seen the site in IE. I worked for a web shop for a while, where every site was tested in multiple browsers and multiple OSs. If it didn't pass all the test, especially for the browser that most (almost all) users have, then it didn't go live until it did pass.

It's just so they can see better, doesn't matter if it makes everyone else see worse. Me me me me.
