You can only fall on the sword for your co-workers so many times. Now, I just give them enough rope to hang themselves. Besides, it reminds my employer how valuable I am. I like feeling valued. It's a good feeling. And, I've earned that right for not fucking up on the job (unlike my co-workers who do it habitually).
It's called vortex surfing. It's one of many forms of drafting.
Tailgating is dangerous. But if you drive in the adjacent lane on a highway next to another car, you can gain higher MPG if you're trailing behind at an angle. Essentially in the blind-spot of the other driver. It's still dangerous, just be sure to break loose on those long interstate drives to reminding the other driver you're still nearby. Have a newer car that displays the MPG in real time? The change is rather impressive once you find that optimal "zone". I remember in the early 90s about a system of car platooining. Essentialy a computer controlled chain of tailgating cars all synced up. Sounds interesting, until someone hits a deer or a patch of black ice...
Personal wealth is relative to the level of disparity between you and the other guy. Thus it only makes sense for the elite to bring in cheap labor from overseas than it does for the elite to move to a 3rd world nation. The former is the best of both worlds for the elite in America. Plus, they can now hire cheap labor at minimum wage as a house nanny and/or maid.
Cheap ones do cycle at 60 times a second (60Hz, as in AC current frequency). While the LEDs operate on DC current via a full bridge rectifier, more often then not capacitors aren't being used to reduce flicker.
Fear of change is not applicable in this case. As with converting to the metric system, the holdback from Chip-and-PIN is pure momentum of an established system. That, and the up-front cost to make the change. Everyone I knows agrees that the metric system is better, but we're kinda stuck with it because a concerted effort to change is a vast undertaking. To do so would be the equivalent of an American Moonshot part II. The very idea is epic in its own right.
Let me clue you and everyone else on slashdot. Everything critical to modern civilization depends on the ICs (microchip). EMPs from a thermonuclear bomb makes recovery next to impossible. I say that because unlike a hurricane where it can take 1/4 to 1 year to cleanup and resume like normal, the effects of an EMP are permanent and indiscriminate. After most people die off within the first few weeks of due to little access of fresh water (pumps are down, reserves used up, fights over bottled content), what finally will kill off nations will be internal civil war for resources. Ironic isn't it? Once China, Russia, and America sling the nukes, it's ultimately civil war from the aftermath that does each of them in. A sad but fitting end. Don't you think?
Vacuum Tubes (valves) are the devil! While they may seem somewhat quaint, their characteristics change with age and temperature. While you're ears may adjust to the slow process of them going out of spec, the auditory reproduction is still WRONG. Have you not listed to the modern headphone amplifiers? They're compact with superb audio reproduction. And yes, some use tubes, but mainly for marketing purposes. The idea of using technology that slowly changes its characteristics over time bugs the hell out of me. I want it pure, and I want it *true*. MOSFETs delivers on that. Tubes don't.
Well given how successful this was on a Windows based POS system, just imagine all the restaurants, and bars that might be compromised too. I'm in agreement with what others have said; we need to go to the Chip-and-PIN system. If we are going to be replacing CC for potentially hundreds of millions of people, now is the time to make the switch. If the bank wants to charge me a few extra bucks for a fancy new card, do it. I'd rather have the peace of mind after this fiasco.
I'd rather Google use its disposable income on alternative energy research. Fusion would be nice. That, or thorium reactor technology. After all, they need energy too for their data centers.
Yes, exactly. That's why is pisses me off that when discussing culture related things, and the majority of people just so happen to be black, the "race card" gets thrown down. If we can't have an honest discussion about the problems plaguing our multi-cultural nation, then we as the United States of America deserves to fail!!! People just need to wake the fuck up and deal.
Back in 2010, Steve Jobs reported that the MacBook Air would not have a touch screen due to "Gorilla Arm Syndrome" per its own research. So while technically they could have, they choose not to. The million dollar question is this however: Would "Gorilla Arm Syndrome" violate OSHA regulations? POS systems are ok because the user is not in front of the machine 8 hours a day. It's more like sparse kiosk activity. But for Microsoft to introduce touch screen as an integral part of the corporate experience, that rubs up real close to an occupational hazard.
A condom that's too tight can cut off all sensation, while a condom that's too loose can slip or tear. Nobody advertises one-size-fits-all running shoes, but one-size-fits-all condoms are our only option.
Length isn't usually an issue (for most men) as can you roll as much as needed to the base. But as you've pointed out, girth is. The girth of a man's member can dynamically change based on arousal and any length of time. So while that "magnum" may feel right now, it can become loose later before climax has been reached. It's already an issue having to interrupt the moment to roll on a rubber, but having to choose which size works best depending on the mood already kills it.
Preventing pregnancy aside, smart phones with terahertz scanning capability (say 6 years from now) might be able to detect STDs and other blood related issues in the future. Essentially a Tricorder that's not a medical device, but just as damn near as good. So if you're clean, and she's clean, to hell with the condom. Have fun! Just be sure to scan well before the mood sets in. Personally, i've never been promiscuous and trust is always important to me (I'm married). So all that technology is a moot point as far as i'm concerned.
The ghetto culture will never change because the urban black culture is full of "parents" (just the mother, father is AWOL) who act like children themselves. They don't want to change!!! They want to change others around them to suffer in the "struggle". Well, fuck that shit! There isn't any kind of school system that can prevent classroom disruption by this culture, and a bottomless pit of money cannot solve. Chicago, I'm looking at you!
No it's not as the "fish" is still being created by the tax payer. I'm all about empowering people to become self-sufficient; but make no mistake about it, when you're on food stamps, you're still dependent on society doing the work for you. Welfare should only be used for when people are down on their luck or permanently disabled.
The way I see it, with more people on welfare, this nation is addressing the symptoms and not root cause. Adding more and more people to welfare is only exasperating a much bigger problem. Like a cat chasing his tail, you expend a tremendous amount of energy but don't actually get anywhere. If the cat's lucky, he doesn't die from exhaustion.
It's a form of indentured servitude. And yes, the politicians social engineer society as to garner votes.
I've met plenty of Republicans in the past that now vote Democrat. It's not that they like the party, but are afraid of losing their benefits. More and more people are depending on government. Even the Republican party has turned, which explains the rise of the Tea Party to fill the void. Same thing is happening with immigration reform. The Democratic Party is in favor of amnesty while the Republicans have turned a blind eye. Everyone knows it's going to happen because the hispanic bloc represents the single largest voter gain in the history of the world. Overnight, we will see *millions* of new voters. Both parties want in on the action. To hell with enforcing existing immigration laws, right?
There are two types of credit cards: secured and unsecured. The most common credit card is unsecured (we just call them credit cards). That means the card is issued based on a persons credit history and their score. The secured credit card is like a CC with training wheels. It requires funds in the bank to be used as collateral up front. Typically you only need one for the first year to establish a credit history and then graduate to the unsecured variety.

Because most of us would rather not whore out our homes to an indoor mini-billboard.

That would be Balmer; and no, you can't fit him in a small metal box. Try as you might.
Great! So Microsoft went from "Where would you like to go today?" to "Wouldn't you like to know!"
Stay classy MS. Stay classy.

Race and culture are two entirely separate things. Do not conflate the two.
I swear, the level of ignorance people have with regards to what racism truly means is astounding!

There is nothing more permanent than the temporary.

Wood (would). Damn auto correct.
Treat them like you wood security cameras. Keep them behind their own physical switch (or VLAN) that uplinks to a dedicated firewall.
