You know who also liked dogs? Hitler. Let that sink in for a moment.
Not everything done by a bad person is a bad thing. I'm not saying that calling oneself a nationalist is a good thing (it wasn't), but "Hitler did it" is a stupid line of argument. Hitler did a lot of perfectly innocuous things, like everyone else does.
I wonder if there is a correlation between those who are poor at tracking time spent online, and those who are unhappy, though. Time management is the root issue, it's just manifesting as dependence on the tech.
I'm pretty sure the owner can fill the tank, sure, but VW was pushing the line that diesel is just as easy to operate and maintain as gasoline, to try to win over the North American market which has never fallen in love with diesel for personal vehicles. Part of that was that the urea system needed to be invisible to the owner. Down the line this decision may have further contributed to the emissions software scandal, as minimizing urea use through software was definitely one of the methods they used to keep the owners from feeling imposed-upon. I'm not saying there's a direct connection, there probably isn't. But it does seem indicative of problematic design attitudes as a whole.
VW, at least, would fill the urea tank with scheduled maintenance, and the tank was intended to last for the entire service interval. Getting the tank filled "for free" withh scheduled maintenance was part of the package. Reducing the size of the tank forces owners to come in for that maintenance sooner than they might want to, because the tank sensor tells them it's time.
Even that won't work, if there's an animal reservoir and/or vector for the disease. That's why it's impossible to completely eradicate bubonic plague, for example.
Anyone have an alternate for the main link? I turn my adblocker off only when I get an assurance, in writing, that the site will cover all my expenses if I get drive-by malware.
90% of everything is crap, even when it's pushed by Amazon. The difference is that they have enough resources to keep trying until they get that 1-in-10 success and then smash a market with it.
And then if they do start getting shut down, they'll change the lyrics and call it parody. Weird Al does not need permission to do what he does, although he generally asks for it simply to remain on good terms with the artists. Sometimes they regret giving him that permission (Nirvana, Coolio) but they have no power to make him retract it.
Hey, it sounds like a paid position is actually on the table -- but only if nobody volunteers. This is just the year everyone decided to hold out for a better offer.
As people adopt autonomous vehicles, they will either slowly forget or never learn in the first place how to drive in the conditions that make the computer freak out. This is why handing control back to a driver is, at best, a stopgap solution. Within a generation of cars that drive themselves 98+% of the time, most of the population will be unable to drive manually.
Yes. Box.com, for example, will not allow the sharing of.exe files. You can easily roll them into an archive and post them that way, but you can't post raw executables. at least ones the system is designed to flag.
I'll grant that if the field can be rolled outside to soak up sunlight when not in active use, then rolling a natural grass surface indoors to play proper baseball may be viable. It works in Arizona, although for football. My purism is much more about the surface on which the game is played, as it has had over a century to optimize for those conditions. The roof just makes it hard to maintain a proper surface, and in one particularly egregious case (Tropicana Field) the roof supports actively interfere with the game.
They'll still play in a light rain, which is necessary (at least during the regular season) to make sure games get played at all. There ane many parts of the country where it's just not possible to schedule 81 home games without hitting weather a significant portion of the time, and baseball should not be played indoors (at least at the top level).
Most of what people do involves words, and anything that throws words at you -- like most pop music -- is going to give you cognitive dissonance.
Stick to instrumental music if it's words you need to create. If you're doing something strictly visual, or where the words are already determined, then words in your music probably don't matter so much.
Basically the tax burden is not very conductive to the exchange of services, it skews the market towards solving the things we can on our own.
You make that sound like a bad thing. You live in a region where being able to solve problems on your own can literally mean the difference between living and dying. Maybe staying in practice isn't such a bad idea.
It doesn't really matter if it gets patched in FaceTime. If Apple can do it in one app, deliberately or not, then someone can do it with a crafted app. It has to be assumed that anyone with an iPhone can potentially be listened to and watched at any time. Those involved in handling information of a sensitive nature need to act accordingly.
Note, this is not to say other types of phones aren't exploitable in exactly the same way. That also needs to be checked out before just switching everyone over to something else.

I think Write Only Memory and the BBC's "Spaghetti Tree" hoax are pretty damn good ones too.

I knew fifteen years ago I should have put all my investment money in teledildonics. Too bad I didn't.

I dropped Dropbox when they put Condi on the board of directors, which was pretty much the biggest "We're in bed with the Feds" canary I've ever seen.
Let us know if you get better.

By the time I encountered them, selling fabric by the yard was the primary purpose of five-and-dimes. That was what kept their doors open.

And this or some situation very much like it is why I never go to Ikea without at least a Swiss army knife.
