So, you couldn't figure out that ajc.com and myajc.com were both sites run by the same organization (the Atlanta Journal-Constitution)? Your loss, the link went to a more comprehensive article.
But, someone who thinks repeatedly saying "fuck" somehow makes their argument stronger is unlikely to spend more time reading, anyway.
Oh, bullshit. They're engineers just like someone with a PhD in English Lit is a Doctor. "Engineer" is not a designation exclusive to Professional Engineers. Heck, IBM has had the title "Sales Engineer" practically forever, probably since before you were born, anyway.
Perhaps you didn't notice, but that "laughable" 2x increase what when comparing D size cells from then to AA size cells today. You can get a 10,000 mAh D size NiMH cell today, so an 8x increase would be a fairer comparison.
And, the OP gave the commonly accepted nominal voltage. Since it's comparable between NiCd and NiMH, mAh is a fair (if imperfect) measure for comparing capacities of cells. Finally, I think you meant "Mah", not "Mahhttp://hardware.slashdot.org/story/15/11/30/2018211/researchers-create-sodium-battery-in-industry-standard-18650-format#".
The story isn't about EPA numbers. The one model mentioned, the Polo TDI BlueMotion, was never even sold in the US. The article cited Bild am Sonntag, a European publication, as the source for the mileage claims.
"Space travel and exploration are the future of the human species."
Oh, bullshit. Not for the next presidential term, not for the next century, probably not for the next millennium. If you think investment in space is more important than, say, ensuring the future habitability of Earth, you are foolish, or simply don't care, in which case you are psychotic.
The committee which created POSIX (has any "design by committee" ever gotten things right?) decided to create an impossible situation - they both define a timescale of seconds in an epoch, AND define a day to be exclusively 86400 seconds. The only way that's possible is if a POSIX system doesn't claim to maintain UTC. Most/all do.
Actually, it doesn't. ntpd, the canonical implementation, doesn't follow the RFC for NTP. Other implementations do the same thing, simply because they're expected to be compatible with it. It does special handling for leap seconds (beyond simply advertising when they occur, so the OS can handle them properly). NTP isn't supposed to do anything with leap seconds, it's supposed to simply count seconds in an epoch. RFC 5905 says it's supposed to count seconds with a "monotonically increasing" UTC timescale.
ntpd doesn't do that - when there's a leap second it counts backwards (or stops counting for a second, depending on how you think of it) in violation of the RFC, and then simply forgets about the leap second. It has the same fundamental flaw as POSIX.
Apparently, it does, if "speeding' means driving in excess of the speed limit. Even from just reading the summary, one should understand that the speed limit in these locations varies, depending on time of day, or whether children are present, etc. So, what may constitute speeding under some conditions may be a legal speed under others. "The computer" is apparently conflating the two, and sending out speeding tickets when there was no evidence of the lower speed limit being in effect.
The city seems to admit that - from the article: "The city told the Tribune that it is refunding payments made on 23,000 tickets."
They're not Roman numerals, but come from them. The Roman numeral MM would be 2000, and $1MM isn't a Roman numeral at all. Additionally, SI prefixes are always properly separated from the number with a space (1 km), while in accounting no space is used ($1MM).
No, "M" is ambiguous with regard to currency. It could stand for Million, or Mega, or the traditional accounting measure of 1000, from the roman numeral. MM is unambiguous, in addition to being a common abbreviation for million (thousand-thousand) in accounting.

Anyone. Elector rolls are public record. Specific to this case, GA law 21-2-225, which states: "... the list of electors maintained by the Secretary of State pursuant to this article shall be available for public inspection..."

Do you often have issues distinguishing between reality and fiction?

Good thing zombies don't need to eat heart-healthy.
"which gender would it have expected Caitlin Jenner's brain to show up as?"
You're begging the question. Brains seem to be missing from the Kardashian/Jenner gene pool.
Zombies agree, they're both tasty.

"So why assume 0-59?"
Because, POSIX.
The committee which created POSIX (has any "design by committee" ever gotten things right?) decided to create an impossible situation - they both define a timescale of seconds in an epoch, AND define a day to be exclusively 86400 seconds. The only way that's possible is if a POSIX system doesn't claim to maintain UTC. Most/all do.
Here's a good explanation, with the gory details.
N.B. Leap seconds existed before POSIX, so they had the opportunity to get it right. They didn't. Leap seconds don't cause problems. POSIX does.
Actually, it doesn't. ntpd, the canonical implementation, doesn't follow the RFC for NTP. Other implementations do the same thing, simply because they're expected to be compatible with it. It does special handling for leap seconds (beyond simply advertising when they occur, so the OS can handle them properly).

Close. They prosecuted him for not giving the government their share of the loot (tax evasion).

Do you understand that there's a difference between accounting and science? Were you aware that the USD ($) is not an SI unit?
