Comfort is a function of passenger density and other factors, including cabin pressure, ambient humidity, air circulation, noise levels, etc. The factor you focus on is itself a function of passenger size, where on full-size commercial jets (of which the 787 is one) I have never been uncomfortable with an economy-class seat for any reason other than a supersized passenger seated next to me. And I'm not a small man. You have to be seriously obese for your main comfort problem on full-size jets to be how many seats are on the plane. Regional jets and turboprops are another issue, but the 787-8's maximum takeoff weight of 502,500 lbs. is more than 6 times that of the CRJ-900 in which seating comfort is an issue for non-obese people.
On some recent planes, mostly smaller regional jets like the CRJ-900 and the Embraer 175, I have noticed the lack of no smoking signs. They had been replaced with "Turn Off Electronic Devices" signs, which we can only hope will be obsolete (and for the right reason) soon, as well.
What point are you trying to make? The latter only occurs with any statistical significance in TV and movies and neither of your examples has any bearing on the discussion whatsoever. Of all the safe-sex methods available, which of them do you recommend rape victims employ?
The solution is 100% effective for those who utilize it. Your rationale applies equally to a vaccine: It is less than 100% effective for the people who do not receive it. I would certainly question which empirical documentation you can point to that shows that abstinence from both unprotected sex and shared needles "simply doesn't work" in this context.
In short, you should have stopped with the point that the abstinence argument ignores human nature. But then again, if it were human nature to abstain from all risky behavior then we wouldn't be having this conversation and there would be no abstinence argument for the simple reason that there would be nothing to argue about.
Does abstinence work? Yes, with absolute effectiveness for those who choose it. Are all people capable of sticking to that choice even if they are rationally capable of making it? Of course not. But that does not mean abstinence doesn't work. It just means that people suck at behaving rationally, which is simply not news.
Actually, it's a net gain. If you work out 92 minutes a week, 52 weeks a year, for 50 years, you have spent 166 days working out and gained over 6-1/2 times that much life. What the summary doesn't inform us is how long before you die you have to start this regimen in order to get the full 3-year benefit, which could easily make that ratio quite a lot higher. Best-case, you only work out a little under 10 days during the extra 3 years.
That sounds like forensic voodoo. It may be helpful to determine whether you (you = the judge or jury) believe that the document in front of you was modified after it was created, but it is far from conclusive either way.
Just a small quibble: RAID level 1 would give you a capacity of 3TB with an absurd amount of redundancy. Level 0 is that one that would give you 135TB striped across all 45 disks.
While the official definition that made Pluto no longer a planet does not include this, I know I have seen various discussions justifying Pluto's dwarf planet status by pointing out that the center of mass for Pluto and its natural satellites is outside the solid part of Pluto itself. So what I have wondered today with this article is this: Does the new moon change that fact and move the center of mass back to Pluto proper?
There's an untapped market for cocktail napkins that are easier to write on and do not bleed or tear as badly when they get slightly damp in your pocket. I can't tell you how many great inventions I've lost because the only writing surface available when I invented them was a napkin that tore under even light pressure from a ballpoint pen or bled into illegibility in my pocket after I sketched the idea. Well, I guess I can tell you the number: zero. But I'd give anything to have had a better napkin for Felicia to write her number on that night in college.
In the case of open-source software, telling the world your plans will help you turn them into accomplishments. This story will generate between 99% and 100% jokes about Hurd taking forever to develop, but it will also likely generate slightly above 0% people at least experimenting with the Debian distribution of Hurd and the GNU userland and maybe even contributing to it.
(I have no knowledge of the actual facts and am only responding to the facts as stated here. I take no position on the accuracy of the factual foundation to my comment.) It sounds as if Assange's real mistake was one we all make at one time or another: Failure to properly review a woman's published materials prior to engaging in a sexual relationship with her.
Given your amorphous definition of "has a beat for moving one's body," which excludes marches but may or may not include all other forms of music, your doubts are well-placed: I cannot possibly come up with a list of exceptions that will not permit you to re-categorize them afterwards based on your flexible semantics or willingness to add to what you had initially touted as an exhaustive two-item list of hit subject matters (love and sex). We will just have to agree that The Ballad of the Green Berets is the one and only song to which you cannot move your body. Incidentally, one thing neither of us thought to mention is that the song is absolutely about death, so while it was your initial exception to the rule, your rule has evolved enough in this short conversation to now include it.
You're still missing Paperback Writer (unless that is about death or revenge without my realizing it), as well as many other songs over the years that don't fit into your list of hit-making subject matters. And it's absurd to suggest that walking to a constant beat is less natural than any form of dance from tribal dances to the waltz to break dancing. Your historical narrative is also irrelevant to your original point, which is that all music since the 1920s or earlier has based its popularity on the subject matter being love and sex. My point is simple: There's more to it than that.
I-V-vi-IV is historically a successful chord progression that I know to have been used in many of the songs they included in their medley, although I don't know them all so I can't swear they're all the same. Other songs they left out include about 1/4 of the Beatles catalog and Pachelbel's Canon in D (which does admittedly have a twist that the others omit).
That's not quite fair. In 1966 alone: The Sound of Silence, Paint it Black, and Paperback Writer are not really about love or sex, in addition to The Ballad of the Green Berets (the success of which in 1966 is very explicable). And if "a rhythm to move along with" is a sufficient qualification, then the Ballad itself fits well enough as the quintessential "move along with" style of music: a march.
That said, the interesting thing isn't how to write hit subject matter. It's how we have so many hits that are similar in various ways other than subject matter. And that's been the case with all styles of music. Every blues song follows one of a handful of formulas. Every rock song does, as well. They can be instrumental, nonsensical, or even deep with meaning. But they all have hallmarks that leave listeners disappointed if you leave them out.
If we are perfectly honest with ourselves, what differs between "Friday" by Rebecca Black, "One" by Metallica, "Fortunate Son" by CCR, "Cathy's Clown" by the Everly Brothers, "Take Five" by Dave Brubeck, "Crossroads" as performed by your choice of Robert Johnson or Cream, Beethoven's Fifth, and, for that matter, La Traviatta in its entirety is not whether the music and lyrics are cookie-cutter or distinctive or whether the music was well-composed or the lyrics were well-written, but simply a matter of personal taste. I can't stand more than about 5% of what is played on top-20 radio for the past decade or more, but that's because my tastes prefer something different - not because the music is objectively worse than the stuff I like.
Then again, I don't blast my music into other people's ears just because they are unfortunate enough to end up stopped next to me at a red light. That's annoying regardless of the music involved.
Can you explain what kind of misconfiguration could result in such nonsense as being unable to reach an IPv4 site from an IPv4 station simply because the site is also running IPv6?
A pilot friend once told me that most cockpit recordings leading up to a crash start out with "Oh shit!!!" and end a few minutes later with "Oh. Shit."
Your comment makes me think we need a Slashdot song, akin to The Toronto Song by Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie. (Never mind the third-grader's homemade music video, this is just the best way I could find on short notice to share the song.)
Incompatibility with one of the most-trafficked websites such as YouTube would likely be indicative that the router is not merchantable. The car analogy there is a family sedan with no windshield. The car analogy for a router lacking IPv6 is a family sedan that can't jump the Grand Canyon.
In the USA, the states have all adopted as law the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), or at least part of it including Article 2 which relates to sales of goods. There are a few automatic warranties but they can be disclaimed. One of them is the warranty of merchantability, which basically means that the product would reasonably meet your expectations of what it is. A router that does not claim IPv6 capabilities and claims only that it will allow your WiFi devices to connect to the internet at the time it is sold reasonably meets the consumer's expectations. The internet simply isn't running IPv6, so a router's ability to run IPv6 has no bearing on its usefulness to the normal internet user.

There's no way that's an Apple product. It was way more than one button.

I disagree. Most people, regardless of experience, are innately bad at introspection and self-reflection. It's just human nature.
