The few times I've used a rental, I didn't need that long to adjust to the basics like that. Sure, changing from FM to CD or such would require me to search for it, but the volume, power, and things like that don't take me long to nail down at all.
Anyway, renting a car is an unusual situation. Hell, you need to concentrate on more important things, like performance characteristics. Not exactly a good counterpoint.
Some of us higher functioning beings can glance quickly (1/4 of a second or less, and usually not even necessary) to fix a reference and do the rest by feel and proprioception.
If you have to stare at it to do your adjustment, then you really need to learn the thing better. Stare at it some in the parking lot or something.
I know where every control of my car is by feel, and I did so after having the car for a whole month.
The OS can - mods like cyannogen frequently allow the user to deny apps given permissions.
The problem is the "locked down" distribution the carriers force on users don't let you do so. Yea, they "know better than you" and remove that kind of control.
They gravitate towards each other. If their "ejection angle" was close enough for them to be flying mostly-parallel they would eventually pull into each other.
Why? The text you can read on the home page (and RSS summary!) tells you the time scale involved here. The only reason you clicked the story is because of your impatience or the stupidity of jumping because of a scary headline.
Oh, no. I've no illusion on that. Any system that can be "fair" is going to be gamed by the corrupt. The only way to ensure corrupt individuals can't do that is a dictatorship, and yea... I don't think I need to expand on why that won't help any.
True, but if you just use the basic definition of probability
Which is just as counter-intuitive.
I'm not exactly a stupid person, and I can't grasp it. I dropped from Stanford's AI class because that bastard of a principle just wouldn't stick, and I couldn't get a single thing correct beyond a simple "25% of the time this happens, and there's no other things going on"

Yes, I would.
If I cared what the publisher wanted to write, then I would read something written by the publisher.
Whereas losses from pilferage take (prospective) money out of their pocket, so THAT is not gonna happen if they have any say in the matter.
Nope.
The manufacturer got paid when the shipped it out to the retailer. It's the retailer that eats the cost. Especially since it just goes missing.

I think you miss the part where that simulation was done in real-time. They didn't compute it for 8 years ;)
These GPU (is it really right to call them just GPUs anymore?) are seriously getting powerful.
Less talking more animation.
Seriously they stop the thing like 20 times to talk.
So. A measure of both distance and time, depending on your context.
They probably will. Also, don't forget all that relativistic travel we'll get to eventually ;)

Fucking slashdot eating anchor links.
This one went missing (it was my "one example")
It was. A long time ago. This hyperbole needs to die.
The internet is not like that these days. Witness one example of a relatively minor disaster causing massive problems.
Lets also take a look at the - pretty large impact for two damaged links.
I didn't say that' I'm saying that saying a company is on it's death bed solely on market performance is stupid and wrong.
Stock price or price-per-share does not indicate nor does it necessarily correlate with the health of a company.
Investing 101, man. Come on.
Blame the security "roles" not the app developers.
Want your app to detect if you're on a call, so it doesn't blow your eardrum out with an alert tone?
Well, then you need "Access to Phone State / Identity" ... just for an example.
Seems legit.

and in the morning when alarmd[SIC] woke up it played a rather loud klaxon
You know, this is actually a nice little gem hidden in this pile of bullshit "fanfiction".
I would LOVE an alarm clock that sounded like that!
It's not the system's fault people keep voting in corrupt individuals to positions of power.
Indeed. When the article mentions that pop isn't so good, I went "no shit - if you want concentration, don't listen to something with vocals"
Fine then. We'll stop, and you can design everything yourself or let China "handle" that.

Lets be fair - computing a Bayesian is not exactly easy or intuitive.
This means nothing to me. What is the percentage indicating?
