Yeah, but from the back, it's like tears of a clown.
I'm sure the license plate positioning doesn't help: it's a Hitler-esque mustache. It'll be worse in US states with narrower plates and front-licensing requirements.
Of course they do! BMW realized their drivers were dying off at an alarming rate due to their sense of self-importance causing them to fail to turn on the headlights!
They should instead focus on crash survivability thus both preserving their buyers and the replacement vehicle purchases.
Years ago I experienced someone pulling into my lane practically on my front bumper. They were driving a black Nissan Altima. Since then, literally 9/10 times I see someone driving dangerously, it's a Nissan Altima. 80% of those times it is black.
You had a bad experience with a Nissan Altima and have a heightened sense of awareness whenever one is around. But I wonder if in fact you have such repeated experiences may be due to sharing the same commuting path and schedule with a particular set of cars (similar to people seeing the same people on the bus or subway every day).
You might want to start noting license plates to see if you're on the same road with the same people every day and maybe varying your commute start time to find a new commuting community.
It's still used heavily in the digital video camera market, including HD cameras. I'm interested in getting a new laptop, but it had better come with a 9-pin to 6-pin adapter for connecting Firewire 400 devices to the FW800 port, or I'll have to buy separately a Firewire 800 hub, an adapter, and a Firewire 400 hub.
And having those extra hubs hanging off makes it less convenient to lug around on a video shoot, especially if they want their own external power sources.

Welding the hard hat directly to the beam works so much better.
Actually, not. The hat tends to melt. And I'd rather not have to weld channels to the flange to cradle the lip of the helmet either. Bolting is right out, too: it needs to have minimal impact to the structural integrity of the beam.
A square inch will hold 241.9kg, or over 500 pounds!
Wow, I've been looking for a solution to sticking the really big steel workers to the underside of wide flange beams by their hardhats! Superglue only holds so much.
Put it in your userContent.css file. In the Linux version, it is found at "~/.mozilla/firefox/*/chrome/userContent.css". It's read only at launch, so revisions require restarting the browser.
More to the point, though, why should I have to adjust things on my (stock install) browser just to make slashdot come out right? Surely this is a server side problem, no?
If a solution is not forthcoming from the server side, it would be wasteful to have the ability to fix it for yourself and not do so. (At times I think it is this way to encourage people to Preview, except Preview doesn't quite work right either.)
I run with a good-sized userContent.css file overriding lots of things I generally dislike about common web design (fixed-size tables and the invisible images used to enforce them) and other tweaks I find useful (em and strong tags render with small caps to set them apart from mere italic and bold tags, force link text underlining, automatically tag ".pdf" links with "[pdf]", reveal when named anchors are used and their names).
Unfortunately, some of them break Google Maps and I haven't had the time nor motivation to find out which and why. I used to just launch Mozilla as a different user that didn't have my client-side stylesheet applied. I suspect if I were to use GreaseMonkey in the right way instead I could avoid that problem. I also encounter pages that saw fit to wrap the whole page in either em or strong, or failed to close a named anchor, or decided every anchor on a page had to have a name attribute (worst in hover-down menus).
Most annoying is that, under Firefox 3, putting display: block; overflow: auto; on a span tag doesn't work like 2 did. I need that to be able to read the company's support forum when users post large screenshots to keep text wrapping within the boundary of the window.
Over/Underrated when applied without any previous moderation to me only has a potential meaning that the moderator thinks the poster has too much/not enough baseline karma, but paradoxically doesn't want to use an actual karma-affecting mod.
Has metamoderation been retired? I haven't been getting offers to metamoderate for awhile now. Has it been replaced by the Firehose's ability to +/- comments? If so, it isn't as tightly targeted.
Part of what she described is already in the/. Relationship system.
Yes, all it could take is an ability to grant +x to Friends, -y to Foes, and +/- z to everyone else.
And for this comment I'm getting a narrow window which is about 24 characters wide.
Same here, and I've repeatedly tried client-side stylesheet rules to correct for this, but it seems the [action="..."] attribute-content selector doesn't seem to work properly on the FORM tag in Firefox 3. Maybe I need to force font-family: monospace instead of allowing it to default to arial,sans-serif.

If you have two copies of your "big file of random data"
...don't keep them in the same frakking place! Not on the same drive, not in the same case, not in the same bag, not on the same person, not on the same flight... hell, keep them on opposite sides of the border or across a second border in a third country for all it matters: if they don't have access to both copies, they have nothing to frelling compare against!
And besides, having one backup does not imply that the data changes. Two separated by significant time might. And still you can conceal the fact that any backups were ever fucking made!
That's more an argument for never modifying your data, not never backing it up. Which would require you to write once as encrypted and not write and then rewrite in place as encrypted.
And if you are backing it up, I'd assume you wouldn't be traveling with both your originals and your backups.
No idea how this works on solid state disks though.
Wear leveling probably results in rewrites not going to the same physical areas of memory, so every multi-wipe must be to full SSD capacity, as well as never storing the data on the device in a clear form.

Now if only NoScript, when I choose (for example) "Temporarily allow doubleclick.net", granted that allowance only on the page I'm viewing and its descendants and not in every open tab in every window to every site their scripts are on!

Firewire is all but dead in the consumer world.
It's still used heavily in the digital video camera market, including HD cameras.

When did they do that? That alone may solve my Google Maps breakage problem!

They like they fact that with a console you plug it in, turn it on and play.
It will be a while before the PC gaming industry can offer that.
YM it has been a long while since the PC gaming industry could offer that, sonny.
Perhaps they should return to selling games on bootable disks.
I just got a client-side stylesheet rule to work to fix this:
Turns out my mistake was using postercomment as if it were a class instead of a name/id.

too busy doing wget on apple.com and going though the dl with a fine-toothed comb looking for clues
Historically, store.apple.com has tended to be more prone to product information leakage than the rest. You may want to focus your search there.
Those of us that can easily fill up a 1TB drive, find ourselves
wanting a lot more.
A Quad core mini would be my personal first choice.
I see your Mac Mini, keyboard, and display sitting on a large desk supported by four or five heavy duty server cases holding a dozen hard drives each.
(I've thought the same, and I have those server cases.)
OpenCL is NOT a typo.
See HERE
Please update the fine summary to include the above informative link.
from the too-late-for-me dept.
A better choice would have been "from the number-twelve-looks-just-like-you dept."

Isn't this why it's legal to sell police and cell phone scanners?
You'd better check those assumptions against your local, state, and federal laws before you post again.

and try to imagine how it might be in the realm of possibility that it might be reasonable to also apply the border search exception
That exception basically says searches can be unreasonable as long as they are routine: policy trumping Constitution.
So as long as they regularly violate your rights (not necessarily personally), your rights aren't violated by virtue of their not existing.
