Walking is only a 'fad' for suburbanites who don't understand you shouldn't need a car to go to the store. City dwellers are increasingly being found to be fitter than suburbanites because they walk more.
But they are probably built in China anyway. So which one of the security services has a back door into which? Either way that part probably won't change.
I've worked in engineering and computer technology for 25 years. Of course I know what an integrated circuit is. I wanted to see if you knew what a joke was. Sorry you are so literal.
Then there is the converse of a single building reflecting light. A lot of places fail to look at how many buildings work together to form dark urban canyons where light is blocked because of over building or bad planning. And canyons can turn into wind tunnels themselves. Granted this idea as a whole falls partially or mostly on urban planning, but still should be thought of when planning new individual buildings. Downtown Vancouver seems to be seeing some of this lack of meta planning in their Yaletown/West End neighbourhoods with their high rise condo boom. It might even be too late in places.
We already know nature can create deadlier viruses. These are a bunch of irresponsible geeks seeing if they can make the most deadly strain for the mental masturbation and bragging rights. They don't need to do this to plan for disaster. And the only way their biology is likely to be of use is if their own strain escapes. Nature will make its own version which they will need to analyze for possible treatments. You don't need to create a potential civilization killer to learn those techniques either. Hubris is the right word for this.
This sounds like a bunch of bullshit by obfuscation. It doesn't matter the expected level of the end user. If they need documentation they need it. There is no excuse for shitty documentation even if this isn't the only project plagued with it. Telling people to comb the Internet for how to use a non-trivial piece of software is the surest way to see it implemented wrong in the largest number of ways. And this applies really, to anything requiring instructions. In this case it is very important to the user that it be done right.
By extension they can do this to all your computing device(s). Better switch to microfilm dots on snail mail. Or look at RFC 2549. Encrypted of course.
How do you stop them quickly without too sudden a stop, like nose first in the ground, or into the next flying car? To me this seems like the biggest issue. Air vehicles are too hard to control compared to a ground vehicle using friction between the control surfaces. Maneuvering ise too complex for most people. Granted we can wait till someone extrapolates self driving cares into 3 dimensions and let them fly themselves. But that is a technological issue that we haven't got to quite yet. Maybe it won't happen until we have the whole gravity thing figured out and can manipulate that. But then again knowing us, before we can use it for good someone will figure out how to use the tech to negate gravity around earth entirely, and all the particles of the planet will drift apart. The next super weapon! Keep your sharks with lasers bwa ha ha ha ha... [cape pulled up over face, walks away]
Spoken like a true engineering expert. Oh wait. Just because you're an MD doesn't mean you know everything. I semi trust MDs with medicine and semi trust engineers with engineering. I don't trust either outside their profession. We're not talking about splitting hairs, we are talking about split skulls. I'll trust and use an Arai or Shoei with a composite fibre (glass/carbon) outer shell than any polycarbonate. The outer shell won't break on impact so easily so it can keep distributing the forces. Sure wearing something that meets a minimum standard is better than nothing, that is so straight forward it is almost a meaningless statement. Anyone who values their skull will value something built to a higher standard. And as for the retards who insist on riding without a helmet, well we don't lose anything if their head hits the pavement.
On a motorcycle you need all your wits about you. It's one of the things that is appealing to riding. The Zen of it. You don't have the ability or chance to think about much else except what you are doing in the moment. A serial thinker's escape. To think of other stuff too much and not pay strict attention to traffic, the road, the conditions, means you will die sooner than later, especially given you are riding on not in something at high speed. You need to be aware of your surroundings. This thing will effectively negate all the best practices of motorcycle riding by being a complete distraction.
Motorcycles are not fighter planes. Skies are a lot bigger than a roadway. A little drift here and there, you don't run into things. The only comparison would be very close formation flying. I doubt any pilot wants much if any distraction in those circumstances.
Sure one can turn it off if not needed. But that is most of the time. And I can buy a safer helmet cheaper, and a map to look at when stopped. Or even a handlebar mounted GPS device for when stopped. The instrument pods are already in a great place in terms of site line and not in your limited visual space.
These guys are going to kill their customers. They likely are Agile developers who don't understand the need for proper requirements analysis.
Sounds like "work from home" doesn't work at the USPTO. Even if it costs a bunch of money to get them into an office, it will be money more effectively spent than paying people to do fuck all.
I'm not sure I get this need to bash hobby programming. I believe Microsoft and Apple started with hobby level programming. You could say they were 'professional' at the beginning because they started a company, but seriously the only difference at the beginning was the fact they incorporated a name. Some very big things, some very big concepts can come out of "hobby programming". Many people's next big business venture come out of it. I think it is poor thinking to outright slag people's small scale projects they start at home. I think one should at least look at what someone has done before it is trashed.
And when it is a red tide... red tinged algal bloom... it is almost always very harmful and contaminates all the shell fish in the affected area making them toxic to humans... highly toxic. And the effect can last for years. Being sea water people are not likely to drink it, so that is one difference from Ohio.
And when GW Bush did it he was a patriot, right? Fuck off asshole. So far Obama is on track to less use of executive orders than Bush. And here's your citation, so bite me. Fuck I'm tired of these Carl Rove say it enough and it must then be true assholes. GW Bush was an idiot. But quite frankly I'm less than impressed with Obama too, other than his Obamacare. And the Democrats in Congress fucked that up royally when they had the majority in his first term. Tea party clowns and that cunt Pelosi and her gang are both shite eating fucktards too. It's no wonder the USA is in tough these days.
But why even bitch about America? This post was about Putin and Russia.
Actually, it was MagnusPyke who said it. He was a presenter on one of my favourite 70s TV shows, Don't Ask Me. The PBS show Newton's Apple was pretty much an Americanized version of it.
I worked on project at a telco a little under 10 years ago and much of the provisioning code was written in Moscow. I couldn't help but think even back then what would happen if Putin really got out of control. It was already apparent that he had overwhelming nostalgia for the CCCP. Sooner or later we'd be in some sort of conflict with him; was it really a good idea to allow this kind of software to go to a potential belligerent. Never mind code for financial and payment systems. Same with China. It probably isn't the case here, but maybe we should think about these things more.
Ha. For those old enough to remember, it's kind of like 'new coke' vs 'coke classic'. When W9 comes out it will be like coke classic and everyone will come flocking back and buying new PCs. Then MS will claim that W8 was a marketing ploy to get more sales of W9 as a way to save face with all the losses from W8.

No why don't you fill me in.

You'll get into too much trouble with an America vs the rest of the world between SAE and metric sockets.
Rosie, cover your audio inputs. What?! Eeeek! Don't say that!

Someone told me to think that only one car on the road is out to get you, and you don't know which one it is. You'll look for it harder. :D

Well played. Laugh while you can, Monkey Boy!
'nough said.
If they would have used an Oscillation Overthruster they would have got better results.

The cautionary tale has turned into a tragedy.
