All that white noise from the engines, aircon, and wind is plenty enough to isolate me from passengers further than three seats away. The only thing I can hear from the other end of the plane is the urgent cries of infants with stuffed up sinuses.
Seriously, you should have to apply for a special permit to bring an infant on an airplane. Unless it's an emergency, it's basically child abuse.
The windshield does not represent the majority of the value of the car, nor do windows represent a majority of the value of the home, such that you end up buying a new car or new home every hail storm.
Solar cells do represent the majority of the cost of solar cells, though, so hail damage basically == full replacement. IOW, they have to completely pay themselves off between hail storms to break even*
*if they are insufficiently protected from the elements, that is.
Which thereby "debunks" point one: the power-on statistics obtained in a cold boot will not be present if they are not run in a hibernate-power-up. But the effects will still be there, if any, because the temperature still cycles.
You're not going to get the e-fence's retail price from your fence^h^h^h^hpawn broker. Plus, cow parts are easier to move (due to their much larger market) than cow chips.
The fuel for cars is highly flammable and contains dangerous quantities of benzene a toxic carcinogen, as well.
Further, ethanol-based fuel contains a controlled substance in concentrations that are banned in most counties, and in quantities sure to alarm anyone concerned with keeping neurologically sedative drugs off the streets.
He might be stuck in the house because of some disability y'know.
Note: "Too fat to walk" although it appears to be enough to get yourself a "free" scooter at the expense of the SSA, is not a particularly sympathy inducing 'disability'.
Because if we allow someone's rights to be infringed because they're a "low-life scum-fuck" that's a step towards infringing on Joe SixPack's rights.
What you seem to have missed is that the parent objects not specifically to their defense of scumbags, but that they do so to the exclusion of non-scumbags with legitimate beefs.
Further, in many cases, choosing the worst-of-the-worst as a poster child will result in precedent being set with that bias in mind. In other words, it's likely to have the opposite effect as you might want: rights taken away from everyone to satisfy bloodlust for the undeserving.
If OJ was our only example of someone being framed with tampered evidence, we might have weakened protections against the rest of us being framed with tampered or fabricated evidence.
And it gets worse, because, in the case of the 2nd amendment, they have taken direct actions to curtail our rights as protected there. For instance, suing gun manufacturers over their products performing exactly as advertised.
Mediocre idea: 100% liquid "atmosphere." Good from a structural point of view, but terrible from a biological point of view, since you're pretty much guaranteed to breath everyone's pee.
And.. How would releasing the report at any time between now and the election have a positive effect on the election?
It's only a month away, you know. There isn't enough time (aparantly) to print up new ballots and set up a whole new system. Even if you go with the obvious fallback: 100% "absentee" ballots, now you've gotta train a whole lot more volunteers in the new system. And you'll have less than a month to do it.
This case should've been started early enough to conclude in enough time to actually do something. The only favorable outcome *now* is that suit be meritless, and found thusly. Anything else, and disenfranchisement is all but guaranteed.
Yeah, but you said it yourself: the difference is more due to the barrel or um....additive? (peat?? seriously?). The mash is almost irrelevant, excepting that alcohol is often a better solute than water for extracting aromatics.
They said, "could be powered as plug-in hybrids" which is like saying "up to 50% off sale" Yeah.. up to...
If they'd said that we could power a fully-electric fleet of that size, then you'd be saying something. (actually.. even 10% would be saying something.)
You could vaporize the waste and shoot it up through chimneys, and still release less nuclear waste per watt than coal plants.
But seriously.. it's not waste. It's still mostly-unused-fuel. You do the same thing the foundries do with slag: store it on site until it's economically or politically favorable to process it and run it through again.
There is plenty of fuel available for a LONG time. The only thing more "sustainable" than nuclear power is still, technically, nuclear power.
Whiskey is aged in *charred* oak casks. It takes significant flavor from them. I really don't understand why people debate over the merits single- and double- malt, etc, when the dominant flavor (as far as I can tell) by far is the drum it "aged" in.
In fact, I'd wager that an untrained tongue would have difficulty telling the difference between some whiskeys and a decoction of charred oak chips prepared with filtered water.
The protesting isn't the problem. Protesters have free-speech rights, too.
But disruption is. Because the RNC also has free speech rights. Further, the actual convention was technically a private event, and people have the right to freedom of association.
There is something very wrong if the only way to prevent disruption is to allow disruption to occur.
Actually, that's a really good point. The laptop is no longer trustworthy now; it's been in the hands of criminals for weeks. So really, he should get a fresh laptop.
But.. will insurance (if he has any) pay for a new one if the laptop is recovered?
We're asking the wrong question. Captchas try to solve the turing test in reverse. Difficult enough for a human, let alone a machine.
But there's no need to ask that question. Instead, we should be asking, "is this message/post/whatever worth the senders' time." Which spam isn't, unless it takes very little time.
Frankly, I'm confused as to why there aren't scores of message digest type techniques for making messages costly, but not too costly.
Yeah that's been my experience, too. All I ever read about is how swap is supposed to improve things and at least not-hurt-things.
But all I ever hear is the clickity-clack of the heads seeking a new track while whatever I'm working on gets swapped out and back in again.
To be fair, I've started using swap on Ubuntu again, and haven't seen any performance hits lately. Windows XP on the other end of the disk, however, will not be allowed to use pretend-RAM under any circumstances.

But think of all the jobs that will be created.

When are these death machines going to be banned?
Good point. Now, the question is, is it rational?

On the whole, not nearly as good as Mars.

Yeah, but what most people forget about is that the keyboard+mouse combo has an implied third component.
A desk.
You gonna put your console in the office, now?
Yeah, but you said it yourself: the difference is more due to the barrel or um....additive? (peat?? seriously?). The mash is almost irrelevant, excepting that alcohol is often a better solute than water for extracting aromatics.
Are you calling it a "Nixon number" because of the 1960 election shenanigans?
Why does an all-electric roadster have air-ducts all over the place?

Vodka, by regulation, is supposed to have no flavor. Not a good test.

If you can't fit the whole thing in memory, then what's the point of loading it off the disk, through memory, and back onto the disk again?
Yeah that's been my experience, too. All I ever read about is how swap is supposed to improve things and at least not-hurt-things.
