Pretty much your only option is to test that the car behind is not decelerating (within some % tolerance) and knowing that a rear ender is possible... then you can tap the horn. It might annoy or confuse others around, but it also might get the attention of the driver behind you giving them the time to make a quick stop. It the only communication mechanism you have then the brake lights aren't enough.
Now that is about the best argument I've heard from that side.
Perhaps we should drop the "GMO" argument and start discussing "Spliced". It we label food as comping from Spliced crops or not then people can decide whether they want to take part in the public health test or not. We've been eating non-spliced food for thousands of years and that has worked out fairly well. In 20 years or so we'll fine out whether spliced food seems ok or not, but only if the public has a clue what they're eating.
On a tangent I'll say that the reason for America's decline lately is because we're poisoning our food supply. If you look at the health impact studies they'll conclude that the problem of a desk job is being stationary, and the problem with couch potatoes is that they are stationary, then we allow farmers to grow our meat in gestation crates and cages where the animal can't even turn around. We also feed these animals crops that aren't part of their natural diets because it's cheaper. Then we spray those crops with pesticides and weed killers that they're spliced to resist. Sometimes we give those foods a quick rinse before serving, because that washes away all the bad.
Of course I didn't read the article, but I imagine it went down more like this:
FBI: We know of some groups hosting what we deem to be illegal content within your borders and we'd like to shut them down. If you agree to tag along we can call this a cooperative effort. As a bonus you'll get to keep the servers we confiscate.
I have a VersaTable which allows for sit/stand and an easy transition between the two. I also bought anti fatigue mats at the same time so I'm not standing on the hard wood floor. I have never been so happy with a decision. It took a few adjustments to find my happy standing position. I almost never sit anymore. My chiropractor would confirm that he can tell the difference (a change for the better).
Like the post above mine I have a large mouse pad and sit much of my forearm on the desk. I have a secondary monitor at the back of the desk (I got the 30" wide desk). I absolutely love it. I'll even game for hours standing. There's no question that it's better than sitting. I've had mine for about 8 months.
I came to say that it would have been much more interesting if they were sniffing the data between the watch and phone, which would mean they were capturing bluetooth data (having larger implications).
I'm not quite should how they're seeing files on the watch, so that might be interesting on it's own.
Yea that 's what I don't get about the Creationists. Evolution is observable and happens, period. If you want to believe that God causes evolution or that evolution is part of God's plan... then fine, but why the hell do they decide to argue that evolution is a lie?
Same thing with the big bang. It makes me want to say "Creationists are retards", even though I'm smart enough to know that saying that isn't productive. It's infuriating.
That doesn't sound like it bans OSS. It sounds like "if you decide to use MS Office you can't demand that MS give you access to source code" which is different than saying "you can't use programs if you have access to the source code".
Under the draft provisions of the latest trade deal to be leaked by Wikileaks, countries could be barred from trying to control where their citizens' personal data is held or whether it's accessible from outside the country.... These negotiating texts are supposed to remain secret for five years after TISA is finalized and brought into force(1). Like TTIP and TPP, TISA could be sped through Congress using Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), also known as fast-track authority, which has been passed by the US Senate and may be taken up in the House this month. Under TPA, Congress is barred from making amendments to the trade deals, and most simply give yes-or-no approval.(2)
1. How is that supposed to work if no one knows about it?
I assume that the companies doing business would be "business as usual", and the country's governments being bullied by the agreement just wouldn't be able to say they want their citizens' data store within borders. Which sounds ok for me, being in the US, but sounds pretty shitty for them...but that sounds like "business as usual" from what I hear.
2. Congress should always be barred from adding amendments that have nothing to do with the bill. Something related I'm good with, but an amendment to spend money studying ducks in Arkansas on a bill to build a bridge in Massachusetts is bologna.
Getting more customers. In business they call it "the cost of acquisition of a customer".
But that's not what I came here to say. I came to say that I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand I use ad block on my computers. I don't generally on my phone, but I also don't browse from my phone often. And I like the idea of blocking ads so they don't consume my data allowance.
On the other hand I don't like my ISP filtering through my content. There's nothing to stop them from playing MITM (looking at you Verizon).
I was just being a wise-ass, but that is a good argument.
Then I would point out how we produce that food. Cattle standing shoulder to shoulder and pigs in cages, round-up ready corn, then all of that trucked around. Shipments of peaches from Chile in the off season (don't get me wrong - I like that part).
Honestly, I think our highway rush hour every car has 1 person and we're all going under 10 miles an hour bullshit has more to do with it.
The idea of VR is still iffy for me personally. I play mostly FPS games right now. For me I can see VR being used as a monitor (which might give privacy, but not much else). I would still need a mouse to "look around". I can't use my head to look around because I'd loose the keyboard if I turned around. And I'd choke out if I turned right a few times (if you follow where I'm going with that).
So I think it might be alright for a rollercoaster sim, where looking at it on a monitor vs looking at it with VR goggles isn't totally different. Though I do understand that you can have each eye independent so it might actually "feel" different - and that's where "it needs to be applied correctly" comes into play.
I think virtual desk kind of applications are interesting.
Driving games are where head tracking might be awesome. Because the keyboard and mouse are gas/break and steering, so you are totally free to look around and give the evil eye to that guy passing you.
Your post clearly states that if money is required to view the video then it's commercial use.
So if you are required to be a member of the non-profit group (ergo you paid) then it's commercial use, but if the non-profit makes a video and slaps it up on its site or youtube for everyone to view then they're OK.
How often do you hear about a government personal info data breach? The DMV, IRS, VA? Part of the problem is that the insurance companies are only interested in fleecing their customers for as much as possible. They're not interested in protecting your data, so it slips through their fingers. "Oopsie, sorry about that." is all we get.
The government, OTOH, is interested in data security. If there were a breach on that side the government also has the power to track you down and throw you in Gitmo claiming you threatened national security. Random corp doesn't have that kind of power.
You mention running simulations, compiling, etc. You have some Dell and generic "mac" suggestions.
Sager is a company a lot of people have never heard of, and they market more to gamers, but the systems are very solid, have great performance, and cost less than comparable mainstream systems. I have run different Linux distros on 2 of them (4+ years old, and new).
I'm going to say around $1500 will get you 16GB RAM, 1920x1080 display, i7 CPU, 120GB SSD, 1 TB hd, backlit keyboard, DVD burner, etc
Because they are performance based you may need to tweak settings if you want more battery life, but you didn't mention an interest in that. I've never cared, I wanted a portable workhorse and that's what I got. Check sagernotebook.com or powernotebooks.com

Did you think it was a coincidence that the Disney character bears the same name?

I did have one user with a skype issue. I had her reinstall skype and it was fine. I'm not sure what broke it.

When you buy toilet paper how do you get it home? Clearly he's implying he just went shopping.

The pessimist in me says "That's ok. MS has plent of time to screw it up before release."
The realist in me says "You paid too much for the Windows laptop."
Isn't the Apple motto "It just works"? Not it works well, or quickly.
The optimist in me is still sleeping.

I'd bring up the Pong tournament at the local pizza parlor...but I'm too young for that.
They keep arguing about what causes high CO2 levels. Let me clear it up.
The world population is larger than it's ever been, and only projected to rise. People exhale CO2. The problem isn't man-made, the problem IS man.
Improving motion tracking, and stereoscopy: those are technical problems that we can deal with.
Improve the substance of modern games and movies: that's a more complicated problem.
The idea of VR is still iffy for me personally. I play mostly FPS games right now. For me I can see VR being used as a monitor (which might give privacy, but not much else).

You're a scary individual, but I like the way you think.
I would link a picture of a castle with a moat but I'm too lazy.
Air is so passe.
If a fee is charged to access content...
Your post clearly states that if money is required to view the video then it's commercial use.
So if you are required to be a member of the non-profit group (ergo you paid) then it's commercial use, but if the non-profit makes a video and slaps it up on its site or youtube for everyone to view then they're OK.

And that's the thing. If it's a well known well understood thing then medicine / doctors work great.
If it's something rare or not well understood then doctors are very hit and miss.
Chiropractic and Acupuncture have worked much better than doctors in my case, but I certainly know that doctors have their place.
