Arkansas Blacks, if you can find them, are a nice substitute for boring ol’ Red Delicious, the beefsteak tomato of apples. They’re a lovely dark color, more interesting flavor than RD, and they last forever hanging around at room temperature without even getting mealy.
Thank you. I should know better than to use math words in their colloquial sense on/. (Try using “decimate” to mean anything other than “reduce by 10%” for guaranteed responses.)
Making them scan for open ports wastes exponentially more time than just automatically hitting 22, and exponentially more than that if their scanner checks response types on open ports to see if 666 really is a Doom server or is that where ssh is hiding. As others have mentioned, it’s not about security so much as making things less convenient for attackers.
“Letterboxing” is the black bars on top and bottom that you get when you put a wide aspect ratio on a narrower-ratio monitor without stretching. It's not a synonym for “wide-screen.”
Nonsense. You establish rules for your universe and then the story has to follow them, whether the rules make any scientific sense or not. Superman can't suddenly be invulnerable to kryptonite because the writer is lazy; he has to at least take a serum or be granted that power somehow. Characters’ ability to breathe on a planet with no source of oxygen doesn’t mean their motivations and actions can be untethered from each other.
That sounds not that far removed from “teaching the controversy.” Should scientists who have made negative statements about Intelligent Design be excluded from textbook committees?
Why do you believe the standards of a criminal trial should transfer to a review of chemical safety? Juries aren't allowed to ask questions or investigate, while that is expressly the function of this regulatory panel.
Just because magic exists in a story’s universe doesn’t excuse plot holes and behaviors that make no sense. Internal consistency matters in works of fantasy, not the hard-science plausibility of the setting.
As with Burma, it's not up to them what our name for their country is. Germany doesn't demand that we call it "Deutschland," and it would be broadly mocked if it tried.
All trades of stock by that corporation's officers are "insider trading;" the question would be whether it's illegal insider trading. In a nutshell, if he knows about something that the public doesn't and trades based on that knowledge, it's illegal. (Although the Zynga guys seem to be getting away with it so far.) Since he's such a large shareholder, anything he does is going to have some effect on the price, so it's hard to say whether he sold because he knew it was about to drop or it dropped because he sold.
Congress members are already exempt from security screening at the Capitol and their other office buildings. See here for a relevant funny story, if your definition of funny includes a *headdesk* and general despair for the country and the human race in general.
They worked with Sega on an operating system for the Dreamcast, based on Windows CE. According to this list, only 48 of the 688 commercially-released DC games used it.
Yeah, the article doesn't really say, although it does call him "memorably unattractive."
The compromising images of Lei Zhengfu, the Chongqing official caught having sex with the 18-year-old, have been an anti-graft jackpot for Mr. Zhu: 11 officials have resigned or been fired for their role in what was a honey trap organized by business executives seeking to blackmail powerful bureaucrats to win government contracts.
suggests that the executives plied the officials with young women in putative exchange for contracts, but they were actually trying to expose the officials so the execs would have fewer palms to grease. It doesn't explicitly say that though.
Please look up what need means. "I need xxx" is only half a sentence. Do you need xxx to live? To keep the weather off your head? To cook food? To make professional connections to further your career? "Needs" are not defined by the bare minimum requirements to continue not dying.
It's not a culture clash per se, it's that most of the US has been designed around the assumption that you have a car (or horse.) In the wide-open spaces between coasts, it's not uncommon to live many miles from the nearest shopping center or "downtown" area, well outside of casual biking range even when it's not snowing or you're not old. Even many major cities have only rudimentary public transit. In some places this is intentional, to keep the poors away from "nice neighborhoods." (IIRC, both the George Washington Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge were originally intended to have rail decks, which were scuttled by the political influence of wealthy suburbanites. New York-New Jersey connections were later established due to sheer unavoidable necessity, but to this day taking public transportation to Marin county and points north remains only nominally feasible.) Streetcar systems in Los Angeles and elsewhere were killed by a consortium of automobile interests seeking to increase dependence on their products.
OP does overstate certain costs (twenty bucks will get you a hotplate, a pan, and a place setting at Goodwill or Salvation Army stores) but the gist is correct.
The live TV/PVR "functionality" is still dogshit, apparently shoehorned in at the last minute. I've used it with NPVR and MythTV backends and it doesn't do the most basic things like pause or rewind. Other than that it's lovely.
You know that CalFresh (EBT Food, aka food stamps) benefits can't be used to buy prepared hot meals unless you're homeless, right? And any assets you might have, borrow, or earn -- say from a job flipping burgers -- are deducted from your already paltry CAAP (EBT Cash) benefits. But by all means, go ahead with the ignorant poor-bashing. After all, what are they gonna do, mildly annoy you with their temerity of sitting on the sidewalk?
FYI, youtube-dl will scrape videos from youtube, vimeo, and a heap of other sites. It's a little more work than clicking a "download video" link, but it can download when no such link is readily provided by the site. It's in the standard repositories for Debian-based distros and Macports, although not Cygwin. Dunno about others.
I was actually thinking that — why not design the battery to be ejectable in case of fire? Yeah, you might start a forest fire or burn someone’s house down, but that’s better than crashing a jumbo jet (which would have an even higher likelihood of causing fire on the ground.)
Assuming he means mountain lions, all those animals are found in the wild not too far from -- and sometimes in -- urban areas from central California northwards. You don't have to live in Montana or the Yukon for them to be a problem.
