Most modern cars have electronic shifters, so it won't engage park while moving. Older cars had a centripetal mechanism that wouldn't engage the pawl while the shaft is spinning. (think old roll-up window shades.) Much older (70's and earlier) had no safeties at all; throwing it in park would, indeed, damage things.
Actually, it IS also an emergency brake. It's an independent braking system (physical cables) that will continue to work when the normal hydraulic system fails. On some cars, it's also a completely independent brake drum. It's much less precise than the main brakes, so they won't apply the same stopping force, but they will generally slow the car to a stop, as well as hold the car at rest. (both are tested in the NC safety inspection procedures.)
Except when the pawl and gear wear out and no longer completely latch. (I have a Ford bus (converted van) like that -- you have make damn sure the thing has engaged and locked before getting out of it.) Or when the pawl or gear teeth literally shear off; I've seen that happen many times, usually due to a parked car getting hit.
The ON SITE EMTs will deal with it. If a bear rampages through the crowd, THE STAFF will call whomever is needed. YOU don't need to be in constant 24/7 contact with Facebook, texts, and email. You don't burst into flames every time you pass into an area with no signal.
Why do people think the world will end if they don't have a cell phone bonding to their hand? We've managed to (over) populate the world without those things. I think you'll be ok in a place surrounded by a lot of other people.
Good luck with that. I strongly suggest you actually read all that shit behind the checkbox signifying you've read it (but never do.) You will lose instantly in court (assuming any court will even bother with your BS) and you'll be out the tickets and 100x their cost in lawyers fees.
Actually, the pathetic thing is just how easy it is to do this. Verizon store minions don't do jack to verify anything. When I replaced my lost SIM (lost the whole tablet), it took all of 11s, "I lost the tablet that had the SIM in it. Here's the phone number." No name asked for, no ID asked for, NOTHING AT ALL. Drone walks off to get a new SIM.
If they can build a habitable sphere that can withstand the 2ton/sq.in. at that depth, then more power to 'em. We have DSV that easily go that deep, but they're the size of a small car and carry the supplies to survive at most a day.
One of the responsibilities of parents is to teach your kids social graces
News flash. That's STILL your f'ing job. If your kids are being asshats, it's your job to smack the little tards. If your kids are assholes, it's because you taught them to be that way, either directly or by inaction.
Echo is not your babysitter. Echo is not your child rearing robot.
Actually, it can. In later models, it's part of the Lexus Enform system. That "power button" is just a simple momentary contact that tells the computer to "go". The computer (part of it) is always running to see that button press. You aren't turning a large, high current racecar kill switch. That said, they won't autostart to "charge the batteries", mostly because the charge monitors are on when the car is "off".
(If that were the case, my totalled HS would've been starting itself every few hours to recharge the partially shorted 12V battery. The high voltage traction batteries don't run the ECU. Also, that's the only time in 5 years I've seen that car "boot". And no, the clips in the fuse box for "jump starting" aren't enough to start the car; you need to get to the actual battery.)
It's actually the complete opposite. VERY FEW cars have redundant throttle position sensors.
What should be checked here is the slope of the throttle application. Did someone actually push a peddle or did it "instantly" go from a reading of 0% to 100%.
As someone who has to deal with this sort of BS from time to time, cops HATE cars with no tags or registration. In most cases, unless they're posing an immediate threat, they will not tow them. (paperwork is a pain in the ass) They'll kick it to DMV enforcement, and they'll put an orange sticker on it, and then maybe tow it a week (or more) later.
Gated / private doesn't take them off GPS mapping engines. They use all manner of systems to know where there's pavement. Basically, if you can get mail there, you're on several "government databases". I hope you enjoy not having police or firemen able to find your house because you won't let it be "on government databases".
You mean they're required to pay someone to certify their cooked books. It happens all. the. time. Companies rarely get punished for it, and auditors even rarer still.
This one is a big - and difficult - one to answer.
No. NO. IT. ISN'T. It is, in point of fact, trivial to calculate. And every owner, operator, manager, and supervisor knows this. (it's one of the many tracked data points.)
Work in, manage, or own your own fast food joint, then come back and tell us how little minimum wage bullshit effects your bottom line. My quick back-of-napkin math shows an $8 increase in wages can consume 20% of an operations net profits. As I've said until I'm blue in the face... if you make me pay people more, that's going to erode my profits; I'm going to address that by (a) firing some people, and (b) increasing the prices of everything I sell.
Fine. Open your own Wendy's, and show us those "obscene profits." Fast food -- and, in fact, most restaurants in general -- are not the cash cow you seem to think they are.
(a) Microsoft never made legal demands that he stop. (b) He didn't agree to stop and then keep right on... (c) Microsoft didn't take away a free tool many people were happily using within the terms set forth for "free".
So, yeah, it's totally the same situation as SMB. While you can claim whatever you like, the evidence says otherwise. He had access to the actual client, or watched the traffic from someone who did. What he did went far beyond what "HELP" reveals. He's never publicly stated how his client so closely replicated the behavior of the bonafide client, or why, if "echo clone | nc" was all it took to "get a bunch of SCCS files".
That's not to say the same outcome was not already on it's way. There were a lot of very loud assholes in the open source community who simply could not shutup about Linus's choice to use what was the best tool available to him at the time. His choice did not mandate anyone else's. People were free to continue the old school diff/email|ftp/patch methods.
how often does BitKeeper even come up as a suggestion?
Hah. Even a decade ago, the answer was "almost never". Unless you were a kernel developer then, you didn't know it existed. Unless you remember the shit-storm we're dredging up here, you don't even know about it now!
What Andrew did was to telnet to the Bitkeeper's server port, and type "HELP".
Except it didn't stop there. He went well beyond what HELP provided. Ultimately, he agreed to stop what he was doing, BUT DIDN'T. And I have (had??? I don't know if that drive will still spin) the logs of his activities towards my server. When I changed my server (via a pre-action trigger) to verify the use of a bitmover licensed client -- to the best the wire protocol could -- that stopped him for a few days. The only way he would've gotten past that check is to see the traffic from a real client; thus he, or someone working with him, violated the licensing terms.
(And this mess went back and forth for a lot longer than anyone has ever admitted.)
As far as the OSS purists would bitch about it, yes. The "proprietary tool" butt-hurt ran VERY deep.
The BK license required whatever source code under it's care be "open" (either published by your own "bkd" or through someone else's -- bitbucket, etc.) and that you not engage in the development of potentially competing source control projects. Those were two perfectly reasonable conditions. Neither prevents anyone from continuing to develop kernel code in the exact same manner as they did prior to bitkeeper -- i.e. emailing diffs -- but the "old way" was much more work and a lot slower.
Actually, it was ONE. ONE self-absorbed ass... in a sea of butt-hurt OSS purists would took every opportunity to whine about the use of a proprietary tool.
Apparently at that point, Linus decided it would be better to drop bitkeeper before it becomes too hairy. In fact nobody was angry at anyone.
Nope. Linus didn't start working on git until AFTER bitkeeper had been taken away. (prior would've been a violation of the free-to-use license) And Larry and Linus were, in fact, VERY pissed at Tridge for his asshattery. And Tridge was pissed at them for not letting him have his way. After having been called out on it, officially reprimanded for his actions, and agreeing to stop, he went right on developing his shit. (and he was pissing me off hammering my server in the process.)
