I had the sound on, but low. She mentioned a price under $10,000, otherwise people would just buy a car.
Personally, I can foresee a group of these going down the road when one in the lead hits a pothole and does the well-known segway faceplant. Collision avoidance kicks in on the following vehicles - causing them to segway faceplant and it looks like a billiard table. EN-V - corner pocket.
Yes, but, if you're in the habit of doing illegal things using open access points, you might not want to leave a trail that can be followed. Randomly assigning a mac address before connecting to an open wifi is a good way to prevent that kind of trail from ever getting started.
Making a mess of the eco-system is not the same as influencing the climate of the entire planet. We've only been recording climate for a couple hundred years. Before that, we rely on historical records taken before precise measurements were possible, and data extrapolated from fossil record.
With the data we know is good, combined with the data we think is good - we are looking at a tiny fraction of a fraction of the climate history of our planet. At what point in which grand cycle are we in right now? Did we drive the planet here or were we brought along for the ride.
You label people "Deniers", likely to associate them with the "Holocaust Deniers" - rendering an opinion that differs from your own as "evil". When you check history, there are a long line of climate-change criers. First they were screaming that we were entering another ice age, then claiming global warming, now it's called climate change so they don't have to change the brochures - it can mean whatever is convenient today.
After Al Gore was inconveniently caught fudging the numbers in his movie, and the climate-gate emails (rounds 1 and 2) were released, can you blame people for being skeptical? How many times do you believe the boy who cried wolf? How long can you watch the boy profit from crying wolf?
CSS...Doing anything meaningful with it is basically a big hack.
You can thank the browser vendors for that. Many of my design decisions are based on what it's going to take to make it look right in ALL browsers. What works right in one browser, will probably look horrible on others. Mind you, I wrote those sentences to be non-specific - in reality, all but one of the current browsers function in roughly the same manner where CSS is concerned. You can guess which one.
Who has 24 consecutive hours, or the stamina to spend them on one topic?
I own several of the 24 hour books, and I can safely say that they're not going to make you an expert in 24 hours - but you'll definitely have enough knowledge to get yourself into trouble:)
The best I've been able to do is in 4 hour chunks, followed by a 1-2 hour break. Any more than that and my eyes start to cross. Each hour/chapter can (generally) be done in an hour - although most should be given more than an hour of attention for the sake of deeper understanding.
I don't own this particular book, so I can't attest to the 24-hour-ness of it's content.
There are times when turn indicators are inconvenient, like when avoiding a collision.
When I was a kid, my dad zig-zagged his way through a multi-car accident - changing lanes 5 or more times on a 3 lane freeway, narrowly avoiding multiple spinning vehicles. Mom was in disbelief, holding on for dear life while squeaking out sounds of sheer terror. I can't imagine what would have happened if the car had attempted to "adjust" his driving efforts that day.
I can appreciate a car that takes care of the tricky parallel parking operations, but shouldn't a driver be in complete control of the vehicle when interacting with something other than a parking space?
I was thinking something more along the lines of a laptop battery (larger, of course), which have one-way keys to prevent incorrect insertion.
Pull up, release the retention bracket, slide out old battery, slide in new battery, re-engage retention bracket, laugh at the "male enhancement" drugs on sale at the counter, pay the attendant, continue driving to starbucks.
Certainly, JS frameworks do contribute to the total size of a page, that framework is generally cached and isn't re-downloaded on subsequent pages on the same site. So, your 965KB page just dropped to 800KB after the first page load. Images that are carried through a site (logos, widget buttons, backgrounds) can also only be counted on the first page load.
I tend to focus on keeping things small, reusing anything I can. Some web developers do care...at least I do.
not necessarily. If charging stations appear, or gas stations offer that as a service, then electric vehicles may become more popular. Once it becomes convenient(er), then we may start seeing other options like stop & swap (I like that name)
I wonder when electric vehicles will use standardized batteries which can be replaced quickly.
When that happens, it might be possible to pull into a "Battery Exchange" station where your dead/low batteries can be quickly pulled and replaced with freshly conditioned and charged batteries in under two minutes. Your dead/low batteries then go onto the conditioner/charger to be used by the next shmo who pulls in.
Along the same line as propane tank exchanges. You buy the tank once, then keep trading it in for full tanks - only paying for the propane and the exchange fee.
Until battery electric vehicles become popular, stations like this won't be ubiquitous in the same way gas stations are.
By no means should you read the first sentence of the second linked article in TFA.
All the way back in June, we covered Oracle's announcement that it would move OpenOffice.org to a community-based project overseen by the Apache Software Foundation.
I didn't know that either - or, at least I didn't remember that happening. Once I switched to LibreOffice, all of the OOo news just became irrelevant.
Congressmen and Senators can only hear the voices of people who are shoving huge piles of cash at them. You can't just point them at an expert. There must be a huge pile of cash sitting next to the expert.
I'm not wealthy enough to afford corruption in this country. Mexico, on the other hand...has affordable corruption.

When I have $17k to blow, I plan on picking up a Pinzgauer Puch M712 with a diesel and performing a grease car conversion on it.

Be sure to alter the MAC address of your wireless adapter, or the log files on the open wifi router could be used to identify your computer.
The 5th amendment does not protect you from being required to provide subpoenaed materials.

Where are mod points when you need them?
Somebody throw a funny at this comment!
it doesn't. You can use less to define your CSS, then use less to compile it for deployment as traditional CSS.
What bothers me is:
Still, most electronic products cannot be returned to stores
followed by:
...individuals bought the iPads with cash...then returned the packages to the stores
So, which is it?

So, they did get an increase.....it was merely obscene instead of absolutely ridiculous.

You're right, I meant that TFA didn't mention the site address.
I found it odd that TFA didn't mention the site, or where one can go to get this fine drm-free video.

Android is an entire system, where Firefox is a single application.
