Dell's phone eventually (2nd try) got me someone who understood the problem and escalated it. HP's guy explained to me that the problem I was having with the USB keyboard not functioning in the BIOS setup was due to my not having installed the Windows USB 3.0 drivers:-)
The companies that provide excellent technical support on the first contact have dwindled alarmingly. Supermicro, Mellanox, and Intel have provided consistently excellent support when I've contacted them. Others have by and large been hit or miss.
I agree. But more and more company websites no longer have an option to email for support. They provide links for only chat and phone. And of course they try to push you onto their "user forums" where other folks who have hit similar problems bitch about the fact that the manufacturer doesn't fix the problems; at least it lets folks let off steam.
I think it would be safe to assume that the auto pilot did slow down once the truck was in front of the car, but that, of course, would be too late.
From TFA:
"Neither Autopilot nor the driver noticed the white side of the tractor trailer against a brightly lit sky, so the brake was not applied," Tesla wrote.
I think it's very interesting that you prefer that other people get their legs, etc., broken rather than massive damage to your car. Your courage in stating that in a public forum is admirable.
Perhaps that's what Comodo wants to happen. They will get free endorsement of the "Let's Encrypt" term from the "Let's Encrypt" nonprofit and also from "EFF, Mozilla, Cisco, Akamai and others" who currently "back the service".
So the Comodo product can then use the term to refer to their product(s) and ride on the coattails of the nonprofit service's good name; but no other company will be able to use that term "In Trade". Profit!
That someone presumably on the scene had both the presence of mind and the courage to type out that message during the attack impressed me greatly.
But I guess that if everybody had their phones locked up in a bag that would have been an especially futile gesture indeed. Perhaps luckily for some who survived the attack, Alicia Keyes wasn't on the bill that night.
The security crew is there to protect "the venue" and/or "the venue's" owners first. Once that's squared away maybe they'll look after the customers.
And how can I be sure even that (a) " the venue has a fully staffed security crew" or (b) that the crew such as it is has any training relevant to dealing with emergent situations? Businesses all over have been cutting staff to the bone to perk up their bottom line. The management of any given "venue" might decide that they don't need a "fully staffed" crew and that the crew members that they do employ don't need any "specific training".
Finally, a "fully staffed crew", trained or not, isn't going to help much if the message I'm not able to receive is that there's an urgent situation that I need to attend to away from "the venue".
And how, exactly, would my reading a text message telling me of an urgent situation interfere with anyone else's enjoyment of the show anyway?
The burden is on the manufacturer of the device to comply if the wholesale price of the device is $100 or more.
How is the state of California going to enforce this law for devices manufactured outside of the US (like, um, China)?
The only way I can think of would be to make it illegal to sell devices from manufacturers who don't comply, so they would have to go after the importers and vendors.
Certainly there is some country in the world where an owner's right to repair has been established. America sucks so it's not America, but you sound like you know more.
Please tell me which countries enforce their citizens right to repair their devices. I want to find a country that doesn't suck the way America does. Thanks.
The "195 - 205 F" recommended temperature range you quote is the brewing temperature, not the serving temperature. Unless McDonalds serves each cup as soon as it's brewed, and I doubt that they are, they are purposely holding the temperature high before serving it. In fact, keeping brewed coffee hot diminishes its flavor, so what they are doing makes no sense except to keep some customers from complaining that by the time they brought their cup of coffee to the office it wasn't hot anymore.
Those who carried the parody flags you refer to struck me as both clever and courageous. Are you saying that it's best to be quiet so as to not provoke the murderers?
The father of the shooter is a bit curious also. He has a string of YouTube videos mostly discussing politics in Afghanistan, and according to the Washington Post
Seddique Mateen, who has been referred to as Mir Seddique in early news reports, hosted the “Durand Jirga Show” on a channel called Payam-e-Afghan, which broadcasts from California. In it, the elder Mateen speaks in the Dari language on a variety of political subjects. He doesn't always make much sense. Dozens of videos are posted on a channel under Seddique Mateen's name on YouTube. A phone number and post office box that are displayed on the show were traced back to the Mateen home in Florida. Mateen also owns a nonprofit organization under the name Durand Jirga, which is registered in Port St. Lucie, Fla.
In one video, Mateen expresses gratitude toward the Afghan Taliban, while denouncing the Pakistani government.
“Our brothers in Waziristan, our warrior brothers in [the] Taliban movement and national Afghan Taliban are rising up,” he said. “Inshallah the Durand Line issue will be solved soon.”

Less than a week after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that killed 2,996 people, President Bush held a news conference at the Islamic Center of Washington. “The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam,” he said, flanked by imams and community leaders. “Islam is peace.”
It was a message repeated often in the months and years afterward. “Our war is against evil,” the president said, “not against Islam.”
Mr. Trump was asked about the issue by an NBC News reporter and pressed on whether all Muslims in the country would be forced to register. “They have to be,” he said. “They have to be.’’
...
Asked later, as he signed autographs, how such a database would be different from Jews having to register in Nazi Germany, Mr. Trump repeatedly said, “You tell me,” until he stopped responding to the question.

Please. Not an "accident". An "experiment".
I doubt that the dead person's going to take that bullshit lying down.

I have just two words for you: "Facial Recognition". And a quick DNA analysis of course, before the crash.
"Cause more accidents", as in "She got me so mad, she made me stab her"?
Yep. The fine should match the offender's income: http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/03/finland-home-of-the-103000-speeding-ticket/387484/

See. The "venue" really did have their customers' best interests in mind.

Actually, someone working at Pulse Orlando took the trouble to post an emergency message on their Facebook page to the folks who were there: "...
