..shuting off cell-phones to get rid of angry protesters?
It really won't stop anybody from organizing protests, it only affects the underground system, and makes things more chaotic.
But while BART isn't as effective as Muammar, they seem to work through the same PR firm. Real clever. That will teach those kids a lesson
What's the plan: "The beatings will continue until morale improves?"
Fraud? Pheww, I was hoping for that.
It would have distracted investors from my antimatter drive: even mode powerful, basically no added weight, and just as practical as radioactive cars.
What about "English Defence League", these are definitely folks that get "together and do good".
Because on one side we have these rioters, who just come together to riot for fun, most of them people who shouldn't be in England to begin with. On the other side we have the friendly Neighborhood watch, hard-working, law abiding fascists, who just know how to solve social and economical problems the old-fashioned way.
I'm done caring about the "year of the desktop debate".
That's quite insensitive. I was already planning for the Year of the Linux Desktop and now it's quite a pain to get the down payment back from the caterers. Not to mention the printed cards and the tuxedo.
Linux is running on people's TV, their router, their phone, and more and more on their tablets.
It is just that none of them know that they are using Linux. Instead they're using Android, Chrome, the Tv-master 2000 User Interface, or whatever.
The question is not, whether Linux will show up on the desktop, but rather in what form.
Hackable, user installable, and easy to tinker? Or hidden and shiny like an apple?
They either handled a potential IED in a remarkably unsafe manner or they knowingly detonated a safe object. Either way, the TSA has proven their incompetence.
Or:
X-ray shows a circuit connected to a large box with two wires. Could be a bomb, but the student doesn't look foreign enough and isn't in Arab garb. Let's have a closer look at it, Bob.
Okay, circuit looks home made not store bought. Either 3rd world terrorist or real unpatriotic American who builds his own stuff.
This neglects the reality that even with zero turn mowers, there is some cost to turning.
Very good point!
The article has a picture of a mowing path with a very jagged pattern. Whoever thought that this is an accurate mathematical model must have never mowed a lawn. The cost of turning is a time cost, but also creates overlap. The cost in time and overlap of a 180 turn is not the same as two 90 turns, depending on your mower it might be better or worse...
Just as it's time we put an end to cops claiming "privacy" rights in the course of performing their duties, and it's time we put an end to business's claiming they have "private property" rights in the course of their business.
While I agree with most of your reasoning, I don't see how being a cop has to mean that you don't have any rights of your own while being on duty.
Yes, all of these horrible cop-protection laws are extremely misguided, and making it a crime to video-tape a cop fits better with an authoritarian law-and-order state than with a democracy. But still: It is horrible if the local TV news show the video tape of a drunk driver over and over again before there was even a court conviction. And it is equally horrible to do it to a cop.
Video taping an arrest is a good thing, it creates evidence. Video taping abusive cops is even better. And sometimes authorities only react to concerns when information is made public. But all that can be done without exposing all the information of the cops involved, without playing judge, without vigilantism.
There is a significant difference to a corporation: A public employee is still a person, even while on duty. And that person should be guaranteed some basic rights. Everything a teacher does can be posted on the internet, because as a public employee, we basically own her? That is similar to the claim corporations make about their employees: I pay for you, I own you, you have no rights of your own, while you are here, if you don't like it, go home.
I think basic right a unalienable, and privacy is one of these rights, even though the American constitution forgot to list it. Rights of course often come in conflict, and often the rights of others may trump the privacy rights of a police officer, but that doesn't mean, they shouldn't have these rights.
Buying a car shouldn't be an arms-race. The easy solution: treat big cars accordingly and adjust law/tax/insurance.
Some examples: A SUV with one of these cow-bars hitting a pedestrian on a cross-walk at slow speed will cause a fractured hip and possible death, same size SUV with a round hood will cause a broken arm. Car makers know that. Why isn't there liability for deadly design? A mandatory warning when you buy it? Higher car tax for dangerous vehicles?
Highway safety? Just treat SUVs like trucks and enforce the truck speed limit and no-passing zones on SUVs.
The Fukushima plants were hit with a heavy earthquake.....
This is about as bad of scenario as one could imagine, yet there were no public deaths.
No, no public deaths. Most deaths will be private. And slow enough that it will be impossible to prove that the cancer was caused by the Fukushima accident and not by carcinogenic food additives, pollution, or background radiation (e.g. previous nuclear tests) - All of them cancer sources previously labeled insignificant by the industry, their paid stooges, and some stools on/. who call anyone who questions their 19yo wisdom an unscientific troll.
How about multiple defaults?

On upgrade you could choose between:
Traditional - and you can have all the bars you had so far.
Smart bars - and you get something optimized for vertically deficient users.
Fashion Idiot - and you automatically get a new UI whenever the cool kids get a new one.
You might find parts in an SDD drive which you can use for pinning stuff to your fridge. But anyone who ever put a hard drive magnet on his fridge knows that nothing can hold your data as reliably as a hard drive magnet.
By definition anything that contains powerful magnets is cool.

.. the difference between 3.0 and 3.1 is the same as something like 2.6.24 to 2.6.25
Plus after 3.1 there will be "3.1 for Workgroups".

Thorium accumulates in your body, not a nice thing at all.
(Plus, you'll have to be buried in a yellow container and that just wouldn't look nice)
... for the Arduino crowd. Now your Lilypad will be able to tell you whether you're pregnant or not.
There is this old folk-remedy of putting a sider web on an open wound to make it heal faster.
Heard this one from Grandma, if I could only find a written source..
Goats are too dangerous, just imagine one falling from the ceiling and actually hitting someone!

NATO used to pitch blue forces against orange invaders in all of their simulations. Orange of course being code for Red.
Hopefully, once these things hatch some teenagers will make it to the mountains and then save as all
Movie? Comic book? What are you talking about? How does that have anything to do with Anonymous celebrating the of birthday of Art Garfunkel ?
Hopefully they heard of this guy and have him already in their database.
