My last boss did so repeatedly, with impunity. Remember:
1) The ADA is quite vague. Much is left to interpretation.
2) Companies will hire the occasional person in a wheelchair to fill their PR quota. Actual compliance is a joke. They have more lawyers than we do, and go out of their way to contrive violations by an employee who disrupts mgmt's objectivist one-day workweeks.
My autistic 6 year old would instantly discard a Surface. He has no use for a laptop, or for a device that a) is different from all our others and b) doesn't have shit for apps.
Funny, I've never had a problem with my Macs sneaking out and doing hookers and blow. I use them to accomplish tasks, vs projecting personality flaws onto them.
This does seem like a small but nontrivial risk. Aside from Charon there are four rocks we can see from here -- who knows else lurks? I should think that the mission team will be taking a long hard squint at every image they can slurp down along the way looking for new dangers, so that the trajectory can be adjusted in time.
My corrections are in the 4.x range, minus I think. I've worn progressives for a couple of decades -- as a kid I word bifocals and I really got tired of dumbasses telling me my glasses were cracked, as if
1) both lenses would crack in a straight line in the same place
and
2) I wouldn't have noticed
For the first few days the parallax / shifting was really disorienting, but I quickly got used to them.
One respondent above describes bifocals as having hemicircles -- I've never seen those, only the transition in a straight line all the way across.
Due to shitty eye coverage @ my previous employer, my current glasses pretty much had to come from Lenscrafters. There I paid extra for some fancy progression shape, I forget what they called it. I find that I unconsciously tilt my head up/down to get the right spot for a given focal distance.
I've given up on contacts -- pain in the butt, could only tolerate them for a few hours really, and they didn't stop my left eye from crossing the way that glasses can.
The biggest issue I have with lenses is that it seems to be nearly impossible to get them without an antiglare coating, aka smudge-magnet, especially with any but the lowest index material.
In my last job search I was stunned to find that time and again I was down rated for having been in place for 15+ years. So tired of every person at a given company harassing me about it. When I restructured my resume so that through the acquisitions I listed 2-3 positions instead of one the situation improved dramatically.
Let's remember that the on-disk volatile cache is generally disabled by the factory. Enabling it exposes one to data corruption / loss if power is lost. I don't remember from BB's articles whether they take the risk.
The GOP's hold on South Florida is broken; it was primarily among older Cuban who came over during the revolution.
I've read that they were mostly criminals that Cuba didn't want to deal with.
Let's go back in time and see why Cuba ended up where it did, how the US treated it when we administered the place.
I've never driven a cab for a living but I've spoken w/ cabbies about it, and it's not an easy job. A good cab driver knows the turf. S/he gets you to your destination safely and efficiently... and doesn't rip you off or make you feel creeped out
You forgot the part about a horn growing from this mythical driver's forehead.
Last taxi I had the displeasure of taking was in San Diego. The driver was African, and despite having VISA/MC logos on his windows threw a hissy fit when I pulled out my card, wanting cash. Took my card eventually and immediately lost it, claiming I hadn't given it to him. Took about 15 minutes to find him. After some drama he pulled out a phone with a Square app or something and entered my card, whining about time.
While back I had to take a taxi in NYC. The company I was interviewing with had sent me a voucher for a ride. When I called to get picked up, they claimed to not know anything about the voucher, though they eventually took it. Driver claimed to not know where the Amex tower on Wall Street was and wanted me to give him directions. Also demanded that when we went over toll bridges that I pony up exact change for tolls, which if anything should just have been added to the fare.
Took a taxi home from the airport once, the driver was a fucking maniac, like a spinosaurus was on his ass.
This is why people flock to Lyft/Uber/whatever, because the taxi monopolies don't even *try* to provide a tolerable service.
As to ethnicity and language, it's hard to complain without coming across as a douchebag yourself. They speak the language they and the other side knows, just like you do. Not knowing where they're going, dirty cars, service quality, those are all legitimate complaints, but keep ethnicity out of it. I'm skeptical that a caucasian driver would do any better.
No centralized food waste collection where you live? If you have a fireplace you use, dry them out and burn 'em. Failing that, I wonder if flushing them would be a net win.

So it's a service processor, like we've been using for decades. Big whoop.

First tell us what manner of hipster bullshit "MOOC" is.

The one with Chris Holmes drunk in his pool?

Not to mention that most people have asymmetrical connections with limited upstream speed. Which is already going to be saturated with torrenting :-x
How many of those buildings are Amazon? I see a lot more contracts being offered than jobs.

I loved "The Operation". I remember a forearm bone autograft and a hip replacement.

Same as with DSLR's. I don't need more pixels. I need to be able to AF and capture useable photos of my son
Why on earth would you need to fly somewhere to apply a software update ???
Plus you'd become the sort of douchebag who wears a blazer and trousers instead of a jacket and pants. No thanks.
Wish I had mod points to give you for that.

Cleopatra 2525 would agree.
Sexist? Hrm. Men's magazines have pictures of nekkid wimmen. Women's magazines have pictures of nekkid wimmen.
In reality you'd still have seen images compressed to hell, like Facebook does today. They would have just done it with fewer bytes.
Agreed. The OP's monitor is not my monitor. This isn't 1985 and my monitor didn't come from Radius.
