Two miles in Manhattan probably took him an hour to an hour and a half. Look at the Google estimates for the Delaware to NYC (2 hours 26 minutes) and NYC to Milford (1 hour 26 minutes) legs of the trip - it totals under 4 hours. He left Delaware at 12:24pm, and arrived in Milford at 5:45pm - that's more than 5 hours, and almost 5 and a half. He spent more than an hour in NYC, probably an hour and a half, with at least 30 minutes in pure stop-and-go hell, since he's in midtown right around the time traffic starts to build up.
Based on that advice, I was under the impression that stop-and-go driving at low speeds in the city would help, not hurt, my mileage.
He's thinking that repeatedly cycling between 0 and 10 is going to help his mileage. Do you really think that anyone driving a hybrid would think this is the case?
Why does a reporter get an exemption for being an idiot? Driving in NYC for 2 miles is a massive detour when you consider the weather - not only was he losing lots more charge in those 2 miles than in the next 50 of cruising with gradual changes in speed, he also likely had the heat on, which is just going to drain the battery even faster than before.
I'd consider it smart to keep it at a well-known rate and keep it unbundled from the price. That way, you always know exactly what the government is taking from you.
If this is their "expert" on solar energy, it's a serious blow to Fox's nonexistent credibility. If they can't be bothered to bring on experts who, at the very least, are going to dance around the real issue factually to make a case for the conservative standpoint, they need to get off the air.
Then change the books. Compared to saying "the books are wrong, but we're not going to change them, so you'll have to forget everything you learned from books and do it the real way", changing the books to represent reality isn't only simpler, but right. In this example, you put it in the book instead of using a rubber band, and you explain why. It makes perfect sense if you're told that it's extremely painful to rubber band it instead.
If there's a problem with the books, it should be addressed. Many of the people here are acting like street smarts are superior because books are inaccurate, but that's not the whole story. Books have the potential to be just as accurate and informative as street smarts if we're willing to use street smarts to create them.
I'd disagree with that premise. If I use a computer to calculate the odds of winning every next possible move and use that information to my advantage, wouldn't I be considered cheating? Why does that same logic not apply to AI opponents?
Would you rather he say "the Oracle JRE package", or "Oracle JVM browser plugin", to satisfy your pedantic impulses while confusing the layman that the article is actually intended for?
You're right about Vermont, and some other states using a dual system like that. I'm from New Jersey, where it's just a flat rate. I didn't realize that it was taxed this way, although I'd be hesitant to say most states operate like this. In addition, the federal rate is per gallon. Here's some info for every state; it seems about 10 states have taxes proportional to price for fuel, with a few being diesel only. http://www.newjerseygasprices.com/Tax_Info.aspx
It's not proportional to $/gallon, but to number of gallons. Also, cars that are less efficient tend to be heavier, which is exponentially more wear on the road.
No, he's talking about counterplay, which is heavily linked to the metagame but it's not the same thing. For example, you can have a perfect sniping spot that has no vulnerability - the metagame will shift to favor use of that spot, but he's talking about including options for counterplay, which is adding that hole to toss a grenade in where they'll die but can't hear it come in, or having 3 entrances to the room. Once people adapt to having less healing kits, which itself is countered by submachine guns, which is countered by snipers, you're talking about cyclical imbalance, which you want to intentionally design into the game if you're going for something that's more than a throwaway game.
Sure. The customers are garbage, the employees are garbage, it's all for the shareholders. Except, what's the way to provide value for the shareholders? Oh, right, take care of your customers and employees.
When the process involves specific expertise, and Boeing executives neglect the inhouse expertise thinking that you can outsource it, they're the ones taking it too literally.
Well, I'd imagine it's most infectious when the symptoms are approximately the worst -i.e., when the most germs are in your body. However, you are still infectious when you don't know you have it, and if the sneezing starts when you're on the job, you're catching everyone (including yourself) off guard.
You also forgot to mention that the USPS has to fund retirement accounts for the next 75 years using their current revenues, which is a crippling blow when you consider that no private organization has to do that, and the employees on the tail end of that range haven't been born yet.
Not if their intention is to run everything on their servers. Look at what's mentioned in the summary, and tell me with a straight face that rendering is going to be done on the client.
There reverse is not equally as fast. When you ship back to Netflix, they have the regional post office scan the DVDs to update inventory. While the DVD is being shipped back, the new one is already sent to you, since they know the old on is already en route to them. So, while it might take 2-3 days to actually get back, they're parallelizing the shipping to your location.

No. It needs to be File:/// or fILe:/// or any other weird capitalization.

The board is actually different between the two. Not to say it's not a ripoff, but there are some differences.
Considering Notch is Swedish, and Mojang is based in Stockholm, it's a local game for this school.

That was a quote from the GP. He doesn't know how to use the quote tag.

Depending on the school, she might not be able to get in the door/past a security station without her ID.

Couldn't this be used by the police as grounds for a warrant to search their source?

Well, that's the psychology aspect, but the biological angle might not be as kind.
