Exactly. If TW wasn't outright down, they were heavily throttled/over subscribed, or the modem needed to be rebooted, etc. Since switching to Google fiber in February, I haven't had a single outage.
We get a lot of donated machines where I work and one of the standard desktop power cords actually did burn itself in two. Luckily it didn't cause a fire.
Your story about a contractor substituting substandard materials reminds me of a documentary on the building of the Brooklyn Bridge. Turns out one of the contractors was sneaking in substandard steel wires that were woven together for the support cables. I believe that wire is still in there.
It also depends on the original speed of the car. If he is going 120 mph and floors both the brakes and the engine, the brakes may overheat and stop working effectively.
As another data point, I was once loading the bed of a '74 Chevy pickup (which had a 454 and 3.73 gears) with gravel and put on the emergency brake. I then proceeded to drive to my friends house with the emergency brake still on and didn't even know it. Those breaks smoked for about 20 minutes after we got there.
We had a huge swarm of crows at work for a couple weeks until someone bought a fake owl from harbor freight and stuck it on a poll. Now we don't have any bird problems.
So wait, you hate the comic and yet know the comic's author's name? I actually like the site, but have never had any idea who was drawing them. Also, hating something just to be counter-culture is a rather hipster thing to do (though hating on hipsters also seems to be hip).
The biggest problem is the curvature of the wheels is concentrating all of the weight of the vehicle on the center of the wheel, and not only that, but with the tread design, all the force is concentrated on a spot about 2 square millimeters. They just need to add a rib going down the middle like bicycle tires.
He doesn't want to eliminate the trolls, he just wants to filter them into "other sites" (concentration camps) where us good people don't have to see them.
What's wrong with Battlefield Earth? That movie is freaking hilarious. I am rather angry that they removed one of my favorite scenes from the DVD -- the one where they are debating if humans can fly and they drop a guy off a cliff to find out.
While you have a point, it is probably a good thing that we all have different viewpoints and opinions. Imagine how boring a society we'd have if we were all identical. Do you also consider 9/11 jokes to be so bad as to be unutterable? Do you consider every joke to be unutterable?
I actually have the same point of view as to racial jokes and use of the n-word. I consider use of that word to be a sign of that person's character and in poor taste. Perhaps this is because the child abuse is a largely foreign concept to my experiences -- I'm sure a therapist would see things differently.
If you can automate a task which saves time then you should go seek out a new task to fill the time. You are not paid to sit on your ass and admire your handiwork. There is a difference between making yourself more efficient at your job so that more gets done and pretending to do work that you have automated to collect a paycheck. The former is worthy of promotion, the later is fraud.
So you are actively discouraging your employees from ever doing anything to improve quality of life or even improve accuracy. Interesting.
I've already done the same thing. I had an air purifier where the proprietary filter was dirty and clogged. I couldn't find a replacement, so I just used a 3M Filtrete furnace filter trimmed to size. I suppose if you have central air on all the time, just having a good furnace filter would suffice.
I wonder if some of that is due to being among the first black people in a position of power. She can't really rock the boat to much and ruin things for future black politicians, so she has to be a bit conservative. I think Obama is doing much the same thing.
What's funny is that I gave the same answer to my boss as to how they can prevent me as a sysadmin from reading their confidential documents. Unless they encrypt their files with passwords or keys I don't know, I can come up with a way to access their files. Any other answer would just be a lie.
Advertisers and marketeers are trying to sell something real (that might not be interesting enough to click), and aren't allowed to lie. Phishers are already breaking the law, so no worries about false advertising or dull products.
I'm not so sure about the advertisers not being allowed to lie thing. I worked as a minion at an ad agency for a brief time and pictures comparing the results of various products and such were from completely unrelated stock photos. I'm not sure I'd trust the text (copy) that much either, though it's a lot easier to catch them in it.
That is untrue. There may be prevailing opinions on this site, but everyone is free to publish and read the contrary opinions and there is no agenda at work stamping trying to shape public perceptions. Good luck ever seeing or hearing dissenting opinions on Fox news.
If you consider his info being nicely stored and indexed in various databases as not being looked at. I'm rather impressed at how easily they can run reports on this much disparate information.

Interesting point of view. There seems to be a pretty major propaganda war going on over Russia and Ukraine, and I wonder which parts are truth...

Official Vehicles should have a special V2V tag so we can be warned of firetrucks coming around blind corners and police hiding behind billboards.

I can't tell if this is a troll or real...

Your attempt to speak for "all Environmentalists" has invalidated your point.

Parent is a troll and his opinion needs to be ignored.
Seriously, he is advocating naming your kids as parts of Hitler's name.

Is that accurate?

The Mac systems that are in that cost bracket are for graphic design professionals, not your standard consumer.
Well, maybe with Dropbox installed such people now have plausible deniability.

It depends on what you like, but Netflix streaming has all kinds of cool foreign films -- especially from Asia.
