I'm still astounded that DARAPA is not only asking for robot-driven cars, they're actually getting teams producing working results. That's another problem I always thought would be impossible.
I knew it was doable (even if only with assistance by way of special roads), but no one was putting any real effort into making it usable en masse. So thank you, DARPA.
You assume everyone behind you also wants to go straight. If they want to turn, you're holding them up (particularly in right-on-red jurisdictions like California).
"I love my cell phone. I love it. It's my friend. My cell phone was Bach, Beethoven, Wagner on it. Little snippets of classical genius being heard the way they were meant to be heard: on a small, handheld communications device, hundreds of years after the death of the composer. Have we no respect for genius? What the fuck! Beethoven wrote symphonies to be heard in symphony halls! What do we do with it? Beep beep beep buh [to the tune of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5]! Do you think Beethoven had any inkling in even the darkest recesses of his unconscious when he was deaf and sweating over his fifth symphony that one day it would emit from some idiot's pocket, and the response would be 'fuck, it's my mom'?"
I have never tried; I know it would be fruitless. I share my name with a 1970s/early 1980s rock musician. And the name would be very very common even were it not for him. So even if there were anything worthwhile to find about me, it would be buried beyond hope.
Imagine being on a planet orbiting such a star. The sky would be more-or-less empty except for two big swirling galaxies on opposite sides of the sky. That would look awesome.
Of course, it would suck when you realized you would have very few other stars it would be plausible to visit.
If intent were needed for a crime, then manslaughter would be legal, since it is murder by neglegence/without intent.
Manslaughter isn't legal, but it also isn't murder. This is precisely because intent is taken into account, as it should be here. There should be one penalty level for "the helicopter wandered into my beam", another for "I didn't know it would mess them up", another for "hey, let's see if we can crash this helicopter", another for "finally, my premeditated plan to take that damn sheriff out comes to fruition".
Once upon a time, making these distinctions in sentencing was left up to people who were supposed to do this kind of thinking in the process: judges. I suspect this sentence may be a product of "deterministic sentencing", a.k.a., removing human judgment from courts.
Tuition at Stanford is high because the university administration wants it to be high.
Bingo. So, why keep it high? To screen out the undesirables? Which is to say, the -- ugh -- poor people?
One would think they would just take the ones with the most academic/scientific/technologically-innovative potential, regardless of background. Guess it's more important to maintain the hereditary good-ol'-boy network. Oh well, huh?
It is definitely a more economical and sensible deal, but the problem is that these are inevitably hacks, and mechanical ones at that, being added on to an existing fully-engineered product. They only work flawlessly if you really luck out and the printer design so happens to accommodate you. It doesn't take much in the way of unnecessary bits of plastic blocking your way to turn it into a finicky pain in the ass. Were someone to design this right into the printer from the start, it would be a pleasure.
Please, some printer manufacturer: you'll inspire legions of IT-buying geeks to stay with your brand forever. Do this.

Oh, right. So it's perfectly ok to make unsubstantiated accusations, because anyone can go and verify them or invalidate them for themselves.
By the way, you're a dog-raping, excrement-licking, coward, bully, cad, and thief.
Yes! Here, rain falls up, and hambugers eat people!
It's a little like your Soviet Union or Bizzarro Universe.
I know you! You're David Cross's character in this sketch!

Well then Dell should have no problem. Don't they have a policy of nonstandard form factors for vendor lock-in anyway?
Why can no one pick the correct preposition anymore? It's inferior to.
Unless, of course, you meant "more inferior than". Certianly possible, given the subject(s).
You assume everyone behind you also wants to go straight. If they want to turn, you're holding them up (particularly in right-on-red jurisdictions like California).
Idea: VPRs made and distributed by the EFF.
GO!

In Soviet Google, celebrities give YOU anonymity!
All too true. These AV programs need huge overhauls.

For those who haven't been paying attention, Popular Mechanics is Popular Science plus a neocon bias.
Are they going to do anything about Javascript performance?
I've used one.

In that case, you would think it would be much cheaper than it is to attend there...
So you can now say, instead of "I hafta go #1", "I hafta go Vista".
