... of Childhood's End. Where the Overlords come down and sell humanity on a new, higher level of consciousness. And then at the end, they have to destroy the Earth. To keep humanity from reinstalling the old version, I guess.
Oh yeah. And there's that bit about Microsoft, er I mean the Overlords actually being the devil.
Did this originate with the morons who developed Doppler weather radar? The ones that were too f*king stupid to get their own dedicated frequency for an important life safety service and used the 5 GHz ISM band instead? So WiFi screws with it?
ISM has been a garbage band for decades, what with police radar, door openers, radio controlled toys, etc.
... first class flying is dying off. I don't want to get the cavity search, have to deal with the TSA cattle gates in the major airports, have to lose my Swiss Army knife because I forgot to empty my pockets at home or fly on a schedule that maximizes an airlines economy class booking. And now I don't want DHS to sell my travel itinerary to my competitors so they can front run my business deals.
I'll take a charter flight from a private airport with no surveillance, on my own schedule. Without having to share my travel plans. And I can prop my hunting rifle up in the seat next to me.
With a $0.20 per gallon markup on a $3.00/gallon price for credit/debit purchases? Sure, you can skip the discount gas stations and get one price for everyone. That will add about $0.50 per gallon.
I was diagnosed with a very contagious disease a while ago. The doctor told me that I would be put on a strict regimen of pizza and pancakes. I asked if that would really help my condition.
"I don't know", he said. "But that's the only food we can slide under the door."
Whatever I put there. If an app 'demands' access to my camera (or won't run) that I don't feel it needs, it gets a camera emulation with a picture of Mr Potato Head. For a microphone, a WAV file of Nickelback (looped forever).
... if someone would build a phone OS with something like containers. So you could give an app all the permissions it wants. To do whatever it wants. Inside its own little sandbox.
I do. And without lifeguards either (a private club pool). State safety regs exempt private facilities for adults only to do shit about pool safety. The worst part is: We get people who can't swim, who bring 'flotation devices' in so they can bob around in the lap pool in everyone's way. And then some old lady slips and the float slides down around her feet. So she's upside down in the water and can't figure out how to right herself. It sure would be nice if the front desk had a buzzer so they could go in and fish the body out of the way of people trying to swim laps.
Just finished making a big deal about hiding the real names and information of site owners from Whois searches. So unless the EU is going to violate its own rules, how will they even know who owns what?
Question: Who showed you this? And what do you think their motives were, if any?
When you show something like this to a kid, you have to be careful and provide some discussion afterwards so as no to freak them out. Unless that was the idea.
waiting for the flash
I think that by the time I was 12, I had seen some films of nuclear tests. And I knew that you saw the flash first. And then you counted the seconds until the boom to figure out how far away it was. Also a cool thing to do with lightning.
never heard one loud enough that I thought it would shatter windows though.
They can if you live near an air force base and they go Mach 1 at something like 1000' AGL. Which is either an emergency scramble or an asshole pilot that's about to be switched to CAS for the rest of their career.

Honda fart cans!
ATF here. Do you have a dog?
Cell phone transmissions make city councils nuts.
This.
Vegetarians pretty much taste like chicken anyway.
Oh yeah. And there's that bit about Microsoft, er I mean the Overlords actually being the devil.
Maybe in a decade or two we'll be wishing for a good Windows like 10.
Windows 37 (or whatever it is by then) will have to be pretty abysmal for people to start thinking that Windows 10 was 'good'.
But negative mass (according to TFA). And so negative energy.
Good. So I'm not the only one who hasn't had enough coffee yet.
you would require so much sound that you'd heat the air to an uncomfortable level without creating enough force to lift more than a sheet of paper.
So, like putting a fart can on a Honda.
Brings back memories of my old TV set with the rabbit ears that I had to fiddle with.

Simple solution: Nationalize card transaction processing under the authority of the Federal Reserve bank. Like they handle check clearing today.
Meanwhile I will be saving 3% on my purchases.

...you to pay as many of those tasty transaction fees as possible
FTFY.
1 crash per 100,000 flights
Well then, it should be safe for the next 200,000 flights. Better make your reservations quickly before the odds run out.
You owe $2.39 in late fees. You have 20 seconds to comply

But what is contained in your "sandbox"?
Whatever I put there. If an app 'demands' access to my camera (or won't run) that I don't feel it needs, it gets a camera emulation with a picture of Mr Potato Head. For a microphone, a WAV file of Nickelback (looped forever).
I wonder where they steal their money from?
Your children.
Then go swim in a pool without it.
I do. And without lifeguards either (a private club pool). State safety regs exempt private facilities for adults only to do shit about pool safety.

One day, we were shown "The Day After"
