Nor will an individual be able to spend his/her way out of the snow. Even if he/she offers the Uber driver $500 to take him to work/doctor/etc, they will be usurped by someone with $30 because of a fare cap. Seems wrong of the government to interfere here.
It's a company. They are not in the "only trying to help" business. What company has ever done that? They're in the grow market share and make money business...by filling a need in society and adhering to local laws when needed.
My Nissan Leaf is setup like this. It's got a nice big color screen for information but dedicated buttons surrounding the screen. The buttons mostly have preassigned functions although they are context dependent. I love that I can operate my audio without looking but can get loads of info if I choose to look.
Don't know if I could ever be happy with a touch screen in my car.
I also own a Nissan Z in addition to my Leaf. It's my fun car. A bit hypocritical I suppose but I enjoy them both.
My Leaf is faster than my Z off the line because it drops 100% torque (about 200 lb-ft) the instant you hit the pedal. Above 20-30mph the Z is much faster...but initial acceleration is less.
I drive an electric car. At low speeds, say under 20mph, people NEVER hear or see my car coming. These are also the speeds I'm typically driving at when pedestrians are around. People always meander in front of my car or jump in surprise when the turn and see me cruising past them a few feet to the side of them. I sometimes honk. I sometimes pause extra long. There is definitely a need to account for it.
As a Leaf Electric car driver, I can say that the lack of engine noise is one of the primary benefits of an electric car.
I hear things on my commute that I didn't even know existed prior to my Leaf. I hear birds chirping, walk ways for the blind clicking, subtle details in my music, and occasionally, total silence. It's calming. It's also kinda cool to accelerate hard off the line (faster than most gas cars can do) with near silence.
The car does chirp externally when backing up, but it's not very audible from within the car. Perhaps a similar chirp when driving forward at a slow speed would work.
next the will be voting on wether there is a god or not...and a room full of idiots believing in imaginary things doesn't make them real. scary precedent.
When i read the teacher's response, I immediately thought, well, he's comfortable teaching VB and so he is justifying it after the fact. If he was comfortable with Python, he'd be arguing the oppposite.
At the end of the day, I think Google wants the information about people's driving destinations, habits, etc. People will offer this to Google for discount car insurance. Google will use it to sell more appropriate ads and make more money. They will get this data as well with their automated cars, but it will be awhile before everyone is driving one.
MSFT Surface tablets can be had for $200 to $400 which are better specs than most $200 Android tablets. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...
At $800 you were looking at the high end full on laptop Surface Pro...which really should be compared to ultra-books or Macbook Airs. In that comparo they are really pretty solid value for people who want a full PC in a tablet like profile.
Streaming will become a commodity as there are multiple reliable/convenient methods to access content. Content will be the differentiator, and Amazon isn't going to want to rely on a third party relationship to provide that.
Cue the count down until Disney is bought by Apple for similar reasons.
PCs are definitely cheaper than Macs. But they are not better value. Rarely will a PC spec'd similar to a Mac cost less. I discovered that when looking at the $2,000 Macbook Pro. Not much on the PC market that could touch it for less than $1,500 and none of those PCs were really better as a total package.
I'll be honest. I would be very very hard to not put a fucking bullet in the head of anyone who threatened, let alone tried to take my child away from me. I'd be that case you'd hear about on TV where the parent murdered the people who came to take his child away and everything would go to shit. And it could all happen because a teacher makes a mistake in their perception of a situation. Scary world. How things can escalate.

Cool word. I think I will speak in pleonasms all day, just so I can use that word when people comment!
think u missed the point of my post. but, very interesting point you make. chips are fried. hmmmm.
reviving the boiled. sounds very medieval.
Reminds me of the chips that say "Oven Baked" on them. Let me know when they bake chips without an oven.

My 2015 Nissan Leaf does not have that. I think that was something only the first gen cars came with.
Such ignorance. I know from your comment you have never driven a Leaf.
It is very fast off the line. At least as fast as my Nissan Z. Slower than a family car? BWAHAHAHA.
0-60 mph times have NOTHING to do with how fast a car is off the line.
Funny that you should make that argument.

At higher speeds, sure there's tire noise.

hoax is a deliberate attempt to mislead. calling it a hoax is absurd. it would be more appropriate for a vote on god. i.e. is christ a hoax.
the vote should be, is there sufficient evidence to accept it as highly likely to be true/valid.

1) Clearly bad passwords will be the most popular. Some people will blow off security and will pick a bad password.
Inversely, the most popular passwords will always be bad.

I'm sure the USA will be more than happy to help Ahmadinejad realize his space launch dreams.
We're too creative to just dump terrorists from helicopter into the sea, we can also launch them into the Sun!.

I was joking a bit. I understand where you're coming from, although my personal experience in life has been mostly the opposite to what you argue.
But punching an entire group of people in the face because a minority are mean doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
"mean" is not the right word. most of these people are nice. just insulting.
agreed! i was mostly referring to christians.
religious people are often insulting atheists and people who put their faith in science, if not overtly, then in discriminating ways.
saying things like there are no morals with out god. calling people heathens. threatening that we will suffer greatly after we die.
does that mean we can punch them in the face?
