I'm definitely talking about the S (4-door sedan), shown in Fashion Island, Newport Beach, CA. Granted, the Ghibli is tighter than the XJR, but still not as impossible as the Model S.
I don't need to lose weight, but inches from my spine and legs to fit the roadster (spine, at least, to fit the Model S). I managed to stuff myself into an Elise when they were first introduced, but my head was firmly against the roof panel, and the steering wheel was pressed so hard into my thighs that I could not turn it.
I'm an ex-linebacker (6'4", 275 lbs). There are a couple of inches at the waist, but that doesn't bang my shoulder and head against the top of the door frame on the Model S, when I try to get in.
Compared to my '04 Jaguar XJ (or, even the current one that I don't like), or the new Maserati sedan, the Tesla is a sad joke as a car. It is cramped, for one thing (I cannot even get into it); entry and exit is more difficult and less dignified (fun to watch your trophy girl, though, while you hold her door), and there's no good way to make a quick trip from the LA basin to Santa Barbara, Torrey Pines, or Palm Desert with any load of luggage, full A/C, party-level audio, and lights.
>Make the CIO, CFO, and CEO cough up a few million per breach and they will be stopped. Close companies that are breached repeatedly, and make the directors reimburse the other stockholders out of their own pockets
It's not that those methods do not work, it is that the managers, executives, and directors are insulated from the damage. Make the CIO, CFO, and CEO cough up a few million per breach and they will be stopped. Close companies that are breached repeatedly, and make the directors reimburse the other stockholders out of their own pockets. I once worked at a company where the CEO mandated that he should be able to access confidential information at any location in the company, including offshore locations. I've worked other places where the product programmers had admin privileges on the financial systems.
For gov't breaches, jail those responsible as traiters.
Of course, the Mac desktop is just a hi-res version of the Amiga (toolbar at the top for the active window, task bar,... were all Amiga desktop features). Windows 2000 had a clean, usable desktop. What you said about GNOME, Canonical, and KDE is all that needs to be said.
So far, I can still run a "Classic" GNOME, but I do miss OpenLook.
Although this may not be the first time the airflow effects have been measured "in the wild", I cannot remember any previous instance.
There are a lot of things "everybody knows" that have never been verified. It doesn't hurt to run the experiments and perform the verification.
"Everybody knew" that time passed slower on a body moving faster; after all, Einstain had said so. Still, it wasn't until we put sufficiently accurate chronometers on spacecraft that we really knew it, because they did, in fact, show that the spacecraft experienced less time than the ground stations. Although surface installations are "orbiting" at about 1000 MPH (too easy with a 24 hour day and 24000 mile circumference), and are at the 1G level of the Earth's gravity well (also has an effect), the space craft are moving at about 16000 MPH (90 minute orbit at 100 mile AGL) and still at nearly the 1G level of the gravity well. That 15000 MPH difference shows up readily, even after the adjustment for gravity.
The movie Titanic was rendered, in no small part, with Amigas running AREXX to control the per-frame rendering and result submission. Many Amiga applications included an AREXX interface port (I used the one in the terminal emulator for automated dialing).
PC-DOS 6 (The IBM release, that also included CDROM drivers, and came on CD), had an IBM port of mainframe REXX, as well.
If all of the competent people working on Wayland would stop wasting time on it and improve the X server, think how much better it might be.
Wayland lacks absolutely necessary features (true "over the net" and root window access, for example) for a significant number of applications and users. Until it has those, even if only through X emulation, it is simply not ready for use by me, and a lot of people like me.
I was going to try out Netflix right after the post-Christmas AV rebuild. Not now, though. I was fine with the A-only, but the "we can't (be bothered to) to find (or pay) local talent" is more than enough to offset that.
It's disheartening that the ( insert epithet ) that are busy commoditizing our lives are perturbed by the ( other epithet ) that are spying on us. A pox on all their houses.
Yeah, mounted shares (NFS, in particular) are nearly always the preferred solution. OTOH, there are some devices. like a Marantz "Internet Tuner", that do speak DLNA, but not shares. Mostly, though, many of the devices have pointless DLNA quirks and limited codec sets, regardless of access method.
If they'd put a Apple-centric front end on RTP/RTSP, then there would have been compatibility AND interoperability, rather than pure "get the suckers' money".
Last century, we had all of this capability, working, as RTP and RTSP. Of course, since that wasn't HTML-based (for very good reasons), we eneded up with DLNA, supported by hundreds, if not thousands, of devices from various vendors. Of course, Apple couldn't do anything already working and standard, which would mess up their revenue model of locking in the fanboys, so they came up with yet another protocol, as did Microsoft. Further, there are a few other minor players (Sonos, for example) that also created their own revenue-protection scheme.
WTF!?
I sincerely hope this company dies quickly, and their devices are orphaned and useless.
It is not that one is A and the other B when posted; rather that they are each an AB, which, when revealed, resolves to an A or B. That resolution then also resolves the other, but, that information must be communicated "faster than light", which is currently not supposed to be possible (if FTL information transfer really worked, all sorts of wierd stuff ensues, incuding the possible destruction of the universe).
By proposing a sort of "worm hole" which, in effect, creates a single particle string with just the endpoints noticable by us as distinct particles, the entangled endpoint-tunnel-endpoint can transfer information outside the four-dimensional universe' ligh-speed limitation.
Not having reached the point that I can ignore all external stimuli, that sounds like a place I could work on inner stillness, at least. Too bad it's so far from where I live; I'd like to try a few individual hours.
I suspect the hottest question around Apple today is "who forgot to pay the Parliament's members bribes?" (or, at least, make the appropriate "campaign contributions", as we prefer to call them here in the USofA).
It's "Yet Another Back Door", which they might get around to disclosing if enough non-MS and non-Gov't exploits are published. It's no different from the DX9 kernel modules looking for MP3s with executable streams.
The crackers don't have to compromise MS products, they just have to find the existing back doors and use them.

So much for "business class" routers/firewalls, and it wasn't on the list.
I've got a couple of old computers around. Time, again, to build my own. Another plus is that local DHCP addrersses will show up in DNS.
