The radio controls typically have some sort of tactile feedback that you can use without looking at them.
Apparently you haven't used many of the new infotainment systems, or environmental controls, lately. They give almost none of that "tactile feedback" that you speak of. I wish they did, because I miss the "old days" of knowing the feel of turning the volume up/down, changing stations, adjusting the AC, etc. I look over WAY more now than I ever did with my older vehicles.
For example, when I was watching The Lord of the Rings, I believe it was The Two Towers, there was a scene where Gollum was having an argument with Smeagol. The entire theater was laughing at the back-and-forth between the two. It seemed to me that I was the only one who recognized the seriousness of the moment at hand, the severe mental illness and psychological stressors that brought about that exchange. Sometimes the rest of the audience is dumb.
I would like for somebody to explain to me exactly how a publicly funded government entity can copyright, register, trademark, etc. anything that is paid for, like I said, with public money. If you live in Georgia, you paid for all of those laws being constructed with your hard-earned tax money, they are [partially] your property, and you are entitled to do with them what you will; barring, of course, changing them or claiming the work is your own. If I am a legal resident of Georgia then I should have every right to, say, print as many University of Georgia Bulldogs t-shirts I want to and sell them. How can they legally stop me?
Is there some source out there that says how much of the rocket is re-used and how much is replaced with new parts? I would like to know what percentage is "original equipment" vs. how much is new. I would also be interested in knowing what the regeneration process is like in general.
I was in an R rated movie this one time with a mother and her child. The poor kid kept telling their mother that they were scared, and the mother kept shutting the kid up. Now, after having kids of my own, I should have told the manager, or something.
Older people tend to have more books than younger people. I know I would feel completely within my rights to download a digital version of a book that I already own a hard copy of. For that matter, I would feel within my rights to download a digital version of a movie or music I already own, rather than go through the trouble of finding, then ripping the media.
First companies have a race to see who can screw their customers over the most. Now, they're in a race to see who can give customers the most data. So... do they want to screw us over or not???
Now they just need to do the same for drivers.... move the traffic lights and road signs so that they can be seen while still looking down at your phone...
This, actually, isn't a bad idea. Have a mandatory smartphone app on every phone sold. Whenever a driver is approaching an intersection, have the app, which is always running in the background, alert the driver about the intersection. I think this would be awesome.
Chalk it up to Admiral Rickover's insistence that every officer serving on one of his nuclear ships needed proper training, and got it before taking the post.
Used to, I absolutely hated commercials; I still do to a large degree. However, many advertisers are getting better, and there are, actually, some commercials that I enjoy watching.
Can people and companies just start digging under towns, businesses, houses, government buildings, airports, etc.? Is there any law preventing people from tunneling under the United States?

Try CNN.com sometime.
What if I don't want to laugh?

Otherwise they'd make Soylent Green out of you.
I, uh ... would make terrible-tasting Soylent Green.

You don't even have to put on pants.
No pants is a big selling point for me.
But I have small children, so there is little opportunity to go out.
Aye, brother.

I'm going to have to steal this, if you don't mind.
While there are some good reasons to dislike "code on a whiteboard" interviews, this is not one of them.
As a programmer who is not getting any younger, I wholeheartedly disagree with you.
Ummm ... so does this mean I can sue the federal government (specifically the OPM) for allowing the Chinese to steal my personal information???
This technology is just a one-off request. There is no way it can get "out there".
Said the F.B.I.
Take off, eh.

What training?
Good to know ... thanks.
That site wont tell you anything if the person you are researching works for one of the three-letter agencies.
