With Revelation 8:1 Update we've restored functionality of noise, so you don't have to suffer in silence for half an hour anymore. Angels have been upgraded with hovering capability to prevent exhaustion from too much standing. The first seven angels to accept the Update will also receive trombones instead of trumpets.
It's a ceremonial wimblehorn, if you look closely.
Is Microsoft's aftermarket support for XP. You might not like it, but it is. I'm less than sympathetic with customers that want patches for an ever increasing number of major and '.1' level releases. (No, I don't work for MS)
Huh? Have you not read the preceding posts, or are you just trying to move the goalposts? One guy tried a long screed about how awful these things are, and how they were going to cause wrecks
I read some of them. Who has time to read them all? The majority of the arguments against seem to be against the legislation itself. If their use was truly dangerous, don't you think there'd be legislation that banned them instead?
The argument is over the nanny state legislation. If people want them, they can install them, or not.
Since we are in the questioning mode - when did any requirement at all become symptomatic of the presumptive "nanny state"?
If someone wants to control what I see on the internet, because seeing a naked lady might harm me somehow. That's acting like a nanny state.
If someone wants to take salt off the table at restaurants because some people use too much, that's nanny statism.
For a no brainer cure for a persistant problem with automobiles - elimination of a dangerous blind spot, well, not so much,
Let's try the little test I give people when they get their nickers in a not about the nanny state:
Are turn signals a sign of the nanny state?
rear view mirrors
Brake lights.
Seat belts
Any and all safety devices.
Speed limits
Any law of the road
Most of the micromanaging road rules are. When people support this sort of thing, my rule of thumb is "Apply common sense. Now, do we really need this rule/law/legislation? Or should people just take some kind of responsibility and do these things?"
Fuel standardization
Haven't seen that much standardisation. A range of different octane ratings, that vary with brand.
All are requirements, and all make sense.
Some do. But where to stop? Would you force standardisation on Apple power sockets ? (which I kind of prefer to the microUSB) It can be a bit of a slippery slope type argument.
I think some people use their inherent grumpiness as the driver in their hatred of anything new. Then they use silly pseudo-Libertarian nonsense such as "nanny state" as a cover for their crankiness.
True. But our legal system (and yours, I guess) is complex beyond the ability of most of us to decipher. And this is an unnecessary addition to it. I'd rather our politicians remove laws from the books than go looking for new ones to add.
Lifx is nice in that way - I tend to set apartment wide lighting to about 1% red overnight - enough to wander around. The Android app needs a bit of work, but it's progressing.
Amazon is good, but it could be a lot better. I buy a lot of books thru kindle app on Android (don't get me started on the cripple-ware apple forced amazon to do) - what could they do better?
-not recommend books I've already bout thru amazon
-allow me to flush existing recommended books and get a new set of recommendations (if its on the list for a month, and I haven't bought it, I'm not going to.
-tag and buy, rather than the atrocity that is one click buy
-multiple accounts per one device, and an easy way to switch
-an intelligent register device that doesn't assume each time I reregister a device, that it should create a new entry.
-some way to catalog books in kindle, some way to tag/remove from device
And don't get me started on Amazon Payments, the cretins banned me for having an inward payment, and won't even discuss unlocking it. I've used the obvious workaround...

Download the notes, and concentrate on what the lecturer is saying, rather than writing and probably missing half.

Not sure that your 'average' url, with its embedded guids and crap is of much use to anyone. It's certainly not human readable, so why show it to us?
It's nice to write in and use STL, but if you have to step thru and debug it it's a fscking nightmare.
Very expensive water. You might as well get your water requirements from the tap.
*Heinz* Tomato Soup?? Are you fucking joking? Now if you'd suggested a nice home made french onion soup, I'd agree.
Shudder. WOW LFR bad memories.
Does Geraldton have broadband even? (not satellite)
And this is called 'rent-seeking'
We do that now. CGT has a factor for how long you've held the share. ( > 12 months)
And this article is about Australia, *not* the USA.

Ah yes, shift the goalposts until all reactors have to be shut down, that's the endgame of these people.
1 buffer over-run teh slot machine...

3 profit!
He could throw whatever he likes in the short term, and claim he was going to make up the 50% rock in the long term. How would you disprove this?
Who's arguing against them?

IMO you're better off backing into your drive/park and then driving out forward. Better visibility.
I see straw...

I'd happily tag and submit errors I spot back to them, if there was a trivially easy way of doing it.

Yahoo are likely to do a worse job. Look at gmail compared to yahoo's atrocity. Look at whatever yahoo call their search compared to google.

Another one, since there's a stock one in the catalog already.
