If your business relies largely or entirely on another business completely out of your control in order to stay afloat, then it's your fault for not diversifying your business.
But it stopped. And depending on the thickness of the wall and size of the subsequent debris field, it probably stopped it the quickest compared to other methods. Subsequent runs became much more difficult though.
The problem: How do you stop the 1,000 mph Bloodhound SSC?
Friction brake, electromechanical brake, eddy current brake, drogue parachute, inclined plane, arrester bed, rubber bands, brick/stone wall, etc. You'd think engineers would have been able to think of these things...
If they use a really long bungee cord not only could they use it to brake the vehicle at the end of one run, but use it for initial acceleration on the return run too!

Did your password just happen to have 8 characters? My previous was 7 and it showed 8 asterisks, and I just changed it to something much longer than 8 characters and it still shows 8 asterisks.
Anyone who you would want to stalk, read their dirty emails, and see naked via a spycam is using Windows. Or possibly a Mac. I REALLY don't think you want to see the average Linux user naked and/or blackmail them for dirty pictures.
WIth Netflix, Hulu, etc, unless you want the sports package, why would you even have cable at all, other than to get a break on the Internet package.
Just a guess, but to see current non-broadcast television shows (e.g. Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Walking Dead, etc), sporting events on channels that aren't dedicated to sports (e.g. NBA on TNT), television and financial news talking heads (e.g. MSNBS, CNN, Fox News, etc), plus any shows that you don't want to wait months, years, or never to see on Netflix, Hulu, et al.
I guess I'll revise your statement to say state represents the interest of society as a collective. However it doesn't represent the members of society individually.
I look at it similar to freedom of speech. The government generally can't limit the expression of your beliefs with a few exceptions. However just because they can't limit your speech doesn't mean that I have to listen to it, I can't limit it within my own property, or that I have to accept what you're saying.
Similarly, if a criminal has done their time, then they have paid for their crime to the state/society as a collective. The state can't force them to repay another penalty (reincarnation) for the same crime. However if I was a employer at a bank, someone who robbed a bank or embezzled money probably is going to get scratched off the applicant list even if they otherwise would have been the perfect candidate. Someone who was caught shoplifting can be banned forever from a store even after they paid for their crime.
the opinion you express is responsible for forcing criminals to stay repeat offenders. YOU are the problem with society.
So where is the criminals responsibility for their actions? I disagree that I am the problem in society. I'm not the one that did the original crime. I'm not the one that chose to repeat committing a crime. If I didn't hire someone because of their record, I'm not causing them to go out and rob a bank. If I don't rent a house to a convicted felon, how does that make me responsible for them being drunk in public?
I as well as society in general can do much more to help reintegrate criminals back into society. But that doesn't me once their time has been served and we forgive them for what they've done that we also have to forget what they did too.
Isn't the general principle that once you've done the time, you've paid for your crime?
No, you've only paid for your crime to the state. You haven't necessarily paid for your crime to society which is still free to judge, shame, and exclude you if they so feel.
If the model was shifted to paying for the data you use regardless of your line speed, at least it would be fair
But it wouldn't be fair to the ISPs! Ultimately the ISPs was the minimal downloaders to continue to pay what they pay now, raking in the dough, while having to invest in their infrastructure as minimal as possible so they don't lose those customers.
For the downloaders that consume higher than average amounts of data, or demand faster speeds, they want those consumers to pay that same base amount plus a lot more to cover their incrementally higher costs to provide service.
I don't ever see the service being offered in a "fair" way like you would with the regulated utilities of water or gas or electricity... where you have a small base amount that covers administrative costs to provide the service, and then pay just for what you use.
I think Commissioner Wheeler's final comments provide hope.
He offers no hope. He's a CableCo stooge. He gave opponents a slight glimmer to make them think they have a chance but there's nothing there. He might as well have just said "It's not about whether the internet will be open, it's about how little it will be open and when rules protecting my former employers will be in place.
If it's for streaming music, what company should they have purchased that has better quality, more subscribers, and/or larger catalog for the same price? Pandora has a market cap of over $5b and is publicly traded so it could be a messy and/or drawn out process. Spotify is privately held, but has been valued at over $4b. Google and Sony's streaming services are probably both ruled out just on principal of helping out a competitor. Rdio is slowly failing/dying. Last.fm just closed down their subscription service. There's a smattering of other services but they are has-beens and will-never-bes.
They definitely aren't buying it just for quality headphones or any other Beats products/technologies, although buying medium quality items at high end markups is right up Apple's alley. But there are better, cheaper alternatives if they really were looking to go that route.
Personally, I think it's a combination of both plus the brand name plus the marketing power/connections that Apple would get with bringing Dre and Iovine into the fold.
Depends on how you define mainstream. By the definition of belonging to or characteristic of a principal, dominant, or widely accepted group, probably not. They'd probably be considered more niche then mainstream since they only have about 2% of the US market with 300k vehicles sold in the US. And if you look at what BMW is manufacturing the carbon fiber for, the i3 and i8 electric vehicles, it's even a smaller niche with a total of 50k units sold combined over the next two years.
Google the difference between a microcontroller (this, Arduinos, etc) and microprocessor (RaspberryPi). They both have their advantages and disadvantages and areas that they are designed for.
An existing very well recognized brand, existing supply chains and contracts for producing "premium" headphones, and existing streaming service with deals with all major record labels and many independent labels.
Could Apple have reached the same point cheaper if they did it all themselves? Probably. Would it have been as fast? No.
Because it's far more convenient to presume that EVERY site has ads and just run an adblocker on every site then it is to not run one and have to enable it when you visit a site that has them.
Any time I use a computer that's not my own I cringe when I visit a site I frequent and realize how awful the internet is with ads enabled.
Yes, that is true. Except for the insurance part. UPS doesn't really provide "insurance", per se.
Don't be fooled by the optional 'high value' stamp, which allows you to declare a higher value. Rightfully so, it's not "insurance" but just allows you to claim the proper value if it is lost or damaged....
Huh? It man not legally be called insurance, but you have the option of declaring the value of the merchandise being shipped and for $.90 per $100 (current book rate), paying a fee to cover the loss beyond the initial $100 should the package become lost, stolen, or damaged. That sounds a lot like the lay definition for insurance to me.
I've shipped hundreds of packages with "insured" values using both their shipping software and truck pickup, or their website. I've never had a problem with a claim because I didn't go to a counter to fill out the paperwork there or have them put a magical stamp/sticker on the box to mark it fragile.
Depends. Am I the dead homeowner, either of the dead burglars, the incarcerated burglar, or the tax payer who is paying to incarcerate the burglar? Come to think of it, I don't think it's better for any of those people.
Do small planes and helicopters often attempt to fly over tornadoes? I would imagine that any type of plane, private or commercial, would actively avoid any type of storm cell that could or is producing tornadoes.
The security number by design not embossed on the card, nor, as far as I know, encoded in the stripe, because for physical card-reading applications the cashier has to confirm your identity by other means such as signature and driver's license.
In VISA's case, their recommendation is to compare the signature with the one on the back of the card. However they explicitly state (page 34) that merchants can't decline processing a VISA transaction if the customer refuses to show an ID for a signed card. I believe MC has a similar policy.
With many merchants never even touching the card, the cashier never even sees the back of the card signature, let alone have an opportunity to compare it to the receipt's signature.
By the same logic then incarcerating them is holding them against their will. If you or I did it, it would be unacceptable but if the state does it, it's acceptable.
As a society (but not necessarily individually) we've deemed it acceptable and legal that a state can incarcerate and sometimes execute someone for crimes after they've had due process. That's the difference between an individual behaving that way, and the state doing so.
To get access to their bank account (after a robbery) people needed ID.
I go to my bank (or in my case, credit union), give them my account number and account password, they compare me to my picture they have on file, and if need be my signature to my signature also on file. No ID normally necessary. A police report also would provide additional evidence of my identity or at least enough to withdrawn a token amount of money that would pay for an ID.

Adapt, or get left behind.
Perhaps if you used brakes instead of breaks they'd last longer. Just a thought...
