Thank goodness my boy managed to get out of the grip of that game by himself. Certainly I limited the amount of time he was allowed to play it, but basically on his own after about a month of being interested in it he said, "Meh, it's just kind of boring now" and that was that. He definitely does suffer from the fact that many of his friends just want to play it over anything else and he's tired of it, so they don't really hang out any longer.
You think incorrectly. It is illegal to 'manufacture' a firearm without a serial number, to possess an NFA firearm without a serial number, or to deface a serial number. But an older firearm that never had a serial number, or a gun you make yourself (yes, that is legal and is not considered 'manufacturing') does not need a serial number.
As for traceability, if there's no registration, how is a serial number going to be traceable?
They meant 'unlawful possession of a firearm'. But Hollywood teaches anybody who doesn't know gun laws that all guns have to be registered with 'the government' and it's made it into wide spread popular belief.
Anything that gets your brains to produce endorphins will have an affect.
This study seems to suggest the linalool is affecting GABA transmission, not endorphins. In other words, it would seem to reduce nerve excitability in general, not specifically pain signals.
I believe the question was about needing a proprietary tool to clear trouble codes. I believe Service 04, clear codes, is part of the SAE J1979 standard.
Again, you clearly don't have any real world experience. Many codes won't even show up with a generic tool, let alone clear when asked nicely. Try reading and calibrating the F1 transmission system on a Ferrari 360 with a Walmart scanner and let me know how it goes... The best tool currently out there if you want a relatively inexpensive unit that can work with the vast majority of modern cars are the ones from Autel. They start at about $500 and go up from there. But even those aren't perfect.
I'm going to guess that you don't have much experience with actually using generic OBD-II readers to diagnose cars. The generic readers only support the small government mandated subset of diagnostic information and coding functions on any given modern car. All the manufacturers have proprietary extensions to the protocol, or even entirely separate secondary protocols, that require a dedicated OEM reader (or at least OEM extended support for your reader) to utilize. Although 3rd parties have gotten reasonably good at supporting these proprietary extensions, without the factory tool and repair info (which is most often now locked behind a dealer only paywall) it's still a crap shoot.
Half a page of 'summary' and I still haven't the foggiest idea what the hell ONAP and DPDK are.
They're concordant multi-faceted paradigm changing solutions to ensure accelerating velocity for OEM vendors and end user implementations of future requirement conditions within a broader flowing service market... Duh!
I suspect that geeks generally lack the part of the brain that allows them to laugh at themselves.
Bullshit. The IT Crowd, for example, is hilarious and absolutely makes fun of geeks. The episode where Moss and Roy get into a ton of trouble trying to talk sports like a "normal person" is some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen making fun of geeks. The problem with TBBT isn't that it makes fun of geeks, it's that it does it blandly and without particularly insightful humor.
This doesn't really have anything to do specifically with Google or borrowing owls. The cat people and the bird people have been squabbling about this issue all over the place for ages. I worked for a few years with a feral cat trap-neuter-release (TNR) group, and this is what I learned:
1) Both the cat and the bird people are entirely unwilling to listen to each other. They are emotionally invested in their cause and the other side is pure evil.
2) Feral cats do undoubtedly hurt bird populations, including endangered birds. However, habitat encroachment by humans is a much greater threat to most endangered bird species.
3) TNR is not a perfect solution, but it works much better than trap and kill. With TNR, you get the people who care about the cats on your side. With trap and kill, you get them actively working against you. If you do not kill all the cats in the area (something which is quite hard to do), they will very quickly breed back up to the maximum the local food sources will allow and even more quickly when people are actively feeding them.
4) Chemical castration would likely be the most effective solution, but has issues concerning non-target species.
5) The entire thing is as much a human issue as it is a wildlife issue. I spent more time handling people than handling cats.
I solved this problem by physically removing my mailbox, and having all my mail sent to my office. I still get crappy catalogs and occasional credit card offers, but all the bulk mail junk is gone as they don't deliver it to business addresses. But I do now have to constantly explain to exasperated people that I'm not some kind of Ted Kaczynski style freak simply because I have no mailbox at my house.
at which point they can void the warranty on those parts, but not the whole car.
They're not even voiding the warranty in that case, they simply have no legal requirement to warranty somebody else's work and/or parts. Any warranty claims would have to be made against whomever did the work.
People with enough money for a Ferrari don't care how much the upkeep is...they have the money.
There are actually many cheapskates who own Ferraris. It's not that expensive (relatively) to get yourself into an 80's or 90's Ferrari, and owners bitch and moan endlessly about repair and upkeep costs.
the only way to solve it is for the liberal states to form their own sub government, which imho is not actually unconstitutional but even less practical than a full split.
I suspect this would be constitutionally considered forming a new state through the joining of two or more states, which is addressed by Article IV, Section 3. It would have to be approved by congress.
If you're buying a gun in an illegal handshake deal, why would you want one with a ground off serial number? It's not traceable to you even with the serial number, and getting caught with a gun with a ground off serial number is a federal offence in and of itself. It seems to me a criminal wouldn't want the serial number ground off unless it had previously been legally purchased by them through a traceable deal and they're also planning to dump the gun.
Reminds me of the good old days of the early 90's, when you could just keep typing in the xdm password field until the buffer overflowed and it would dump you into a root shell.
> There is nothing more unstable than a narcissistic actress going through fame withdrawls and hearing the word "No" for the first time in years.
You obviously know nothing about the woman. I happen to be good friends with her sister, and this description is not even close. She's far from narcissistic, and she basically quit the whole industry years ago because she didn't want the fame and simply wished to quietly live in peace.
You need to keep reading beyond an article which just rehashes TIGHAR's bias. The artifacts, including the skeleton (which was male, BTW), are not at all identifiable as linked to her. They are simply consistent with what could have been her and her navigator. Big deal; They're also consistent with a million other people.
No. You have it backward. Science is not, in fact, about collecting evidence which supports your hypothesis. Science is about collecting evidence which shows your hypothesis to be false. If, after you have tried as hard as you can to disprove your own idea, you still cannot show it to be false, you then ask others to find your error. If they too cannot show it to be false, then, finally, you have something that tentatively might be true.
Anyway, we are not at an early stage in the Earhart crash. There has already been plenty of evidence collected, such as the fact that this island is far enough away from Howland Island (their destination), that they would have had to have been aiming for this alternate island from the moment they took off in order to have enough fuel to reach it. It simply isn't a possible 'we ran out of fuel and have to ditch' location. So the only other possible reason they would hit this island would have been navigation error. But, again, this alternate island is quite far away from the original island. Noonan, the navigator (one of the best of his day), would have had to have made an incredibly huge navigation error. It's just not likely. Possible? Sure, anything is possible. But finding some junk and a skeleton on an island which is known to have been commonly populated is not even close to compelling evidence to suggest that Earhart and her navigator made this particular massive error.

So how does this work for cars where you need proprietary diagnostic tools to clear error codes etc?
It doesn't work. It's a big issue. See http://www.careauto.org/

It's spin. My cheap little Moto G is IPX7 water-resistant and has a standard old headphone jack.
Serial number ground away? Good.
If you're buying a gun in an illegal handshake deal, why would you want one with a ground off serial number? It's not traceable to you even with the serial number, and getting caught with a gun with a ground off serial number is a federal offence in and of itself.

Not to ruin your Star Wars reference but... Womp rats are huge. Luke mentions in ANH that they're bigger than two meters.

Really? I thought most state laws establish bi-weekly as the longest period allowed. In all the states I've worked it was that way.

No, unfortunately, they're hypothesis is a terrible fit for the data. Skeptoid
