Other than the torrent, the ONLY two formats where Han Solo just shoots Greedo are VHS and LaserDisc. Reason enough, to me, to keep some of them around.
I am, slowly, replacing LaserDiscs as they delaminate, or as I add the title to the in-house streaming collection. Only a couple out of the collection, so far, has delaminated, though.
It has one camshaft for operating the intake valves and one for the exhaust valves. What it does have is separate cam LOBES for the opening and closing followers. A single solenoid for each phase could open both intake/exhaust valves, and another pair could handle the closing. With the twin, though, that's four solenoids/head, which would need to be cooled, and the vertical cylinder is already a packaging hassle.
I have both an air cooled 2-valve and a liquid cooled 4-valve, and, while it might be nice to get away from the periodic checking/adjusting, I wouldn't trade the simplicity or reliability for more electronics.
Seriously, can someone name three locations, paid, or ad-supported, that offer first-hand research (not just reposts of someone else's work), unbiased/uncensored by political interest or advertiser dollars, that don't have the articles presented paragraph by paragraph, each on its own page, and that do NOT present a danger to the security of platforms?
Denying the creation of a cookie in the first place has nothing to do with deleting them when Firefox is closed (whoever closes ALL of their FF windows anyway?).
I hope Pale Moon keeps the feature, but, IMO, FF44 is now nearly useless.
Several years ago, it was decided to standardize the abbreviations for the various states in the USofA. I presume that however it was decided, it was partly for readability. Way back when, an envelope might have "California", "Calif." (quite common), or "Cal", or whatever, making it difficult to quickly route mail.
VirginiA is VA, VermonT is VT, for example, but that pattern is not universal, as CAlifornia, ORegon, and WAshington are CA, OR, and WA, respectively.
If only the initial letter of the state is used in an abbreviation, the UV, could be University of Virginia, University of Vermont, or UltraViolet, so sometimes the longer form is used.
At least in California, other than the absolute maximum, and things like school zones, roads have to be surveyed periodically, and the speed limits must reflect the prevailing speed. If it is 85% near some higher number, including mass transit, then the limit is too low.
Although my switches can handle the low-speed devices, I just don't see the point. GbE is has been in SoCs for at least a decade, and the only device in my house not GbE is a rarely-used Wii with a 10/100 USB dongle (if I used it often, it would have the same 10/100/1000 dongle as the Wii U that gets most current use).
I live in a higher-density building and don't run any wireless, except odd, and temporary, occasions for the 'phone, and wish that IT could run USB networking as a simple device, rather than only as a bridge for tethered devices, because my Linux box(es) could easily "tether" it to the home network over USB.
Back in the VAX/BSD days, one of my co-workers used emacs as his login shell because he could do everything he wanted AND had a history more easily used than csh. I liked it, but bounced between disparate systems too often to mentally switch back and forth.
With graphics, I may need to give it a try on an X screen, since those are rather ubiquitous now.
"Security" goons are pretty much the same all over; they don't care if you are ripped off, kidnapped, raped, or murdered, as long as they get to watch, so they have no problem creating ways for (other) criminals to get into whatever security you might want to use to protect yourself.
No competent administrator would run something as arcane, unreliable, and fragile as systemd on a server, given any sort of choice.
Goals for 2016?: remove those last few linux boxen and migrate the services to *BSD (Open is my choice, but it does have some lag on drivers; have to brush up on writing those, I guess).
The cost of breaches is never going to be enough to offset the value of having the data, any more than the cost of insurance and lawsuits has offset the value of dangerous (to employees, nearby residences,...) workplaces and operations caused companies to be extra careful. It's just perceived as a cost of doing business.
Only when executives and board members do long hard prison sentences for data breaches will they ever give up collecting every scrap of data they can acquire.
Although, they called it "ubiquitous computing". There were connected white-boards and sticky notes all over PARC when I visited there back in the 1980s. Anywhere a few people could have a hallway meeting, in the conference areas, and work spaces, scribbled ideas could be worked out saved and distributed, and recalled, as needed. Took a fair amount of back-end horsepower, but that was before a 64-bit computer fit on your wrist.
It had definite value to a creative group, as they had then, but in most workspaces or residences, it would just be distributing drivel and be a security nightmare.
I suspect we've all heard/read the slander "If houses were built the way software is written, the first woodpecker that come along would destroy civilization.". This example, and the Tay bridge disaster, are demonstrations of how we learned (usually) NOT to build bridges. Software is often as new to this field as those bridges were to Civil Engineering, so there are lessons to be learned.
The real distinction is that most software projects don't take a decade and cost billions (California's government examples, notwithstanding), so the managers of the projects have no incentive to allow us to use proven best practices; instead, they allow "fad of the week" development practices and push for instant results, regardless of the impending maintenance and security disaster they're requesting.
70 years of incredibly stupid foreign blunders have left a large part of the world with utterly justifiable anger at the United States, and any and all allies. It's the CIA who should be hanged as traitors, if anyone.
The latest software update for my phone was loaded with this kind of carrier (Virgin Mobile on Sprint) crap (yes, I have complained to VM, but no, they're not going to take it back). Fortunately, HTC has tools to delete things from the "ROM", so it isn't permanent on the phone I have.
The point of school, in the United States, is to turn out a cookie-cutter set of pluggable parts. Individuals are not a goal. It's been that way since forever. Case in point: teachers used to physically punish left-handed students by striking them with a switch or ruler whenever they used the left hand to write.
I'd say so, except that Apple does not put such restrictions on themselves.
There's an incredibly obnoxious app on my current HTC (which will be deleted when I get time). It scans my carrier's voicemail, ships the sound off to some unspecified data-mining location, and sends a text back to my phone. Worst of all, is that it has no disable feature; even though I have not paid for the service, I catch the damn thing running.
It's not a question of the merits of scale x vs scale y, but a physical limitation. As we age, for most of us, presbyopia kicks in, and, to some extent, there's often a loss of some sensitvity and fine motor control in the fingers. The "between HO and O" size of S scale ameliorates that to some extent. Honestly, that is my only regret for commiting to HO when I was a child. I would rather, now, have S. As pointed out earlier, there are narrow gauge trains to be modeled which allow tighter curves for a given scale, and you could model interurban (trolleys) which give a lot of operation in a smaller space.

FBI directors lie to Congress as part of their normal job duties.
This is just more of the same.

I needed that functionality on Win 7, along with other tools.
Dropped Cygwin onto it, and it works pretty well.

It says it is a front end for the internal firefox features.
What happens on 44? Have you tried it?
Yes, I "shouted". Obviously to OP has no clue.

She showed a cost for credit monitoring, and her time to fix the problems THEY created by willful negligence should be reimbursed.
Near as I can tell, the judge was bought.

That "answer" is nonsense; having more minimally paid and competent "security" staff is no indication of the quality of the actual security.
You want security? Make the bosses go to jail if a business is breached. THEN they'll spend the time and money to provide security.
Obviously, if you "wasted" an afternoon, then you are a greater insurance (auto, life, health, ...) risk.

Just means that I don't gain any privacy using an Apple vs an Android.
I'd say so, except that Apple does not put such restrictions on themselves.
