I call bullshit. Magstripe cards aren't easily wiped. You really have to use power to wipe them.
As a frequent traveler for the last decade, my experience is that hotel keycards will easily get messed up, even when in a wallet.
In one particular upscale hotel (in the Mövenpick chain), I started going via the frontdesk every day to have my card re-written - it simply "lost" the encoding during the day, as in the evening it would fail to open my door. After several days of this, just having the front-desk rewrite the card every time we got back, was the simplest solution (getting a new card didn't help matters much either).
We had a lead developer visit us in Copenhagen, and as we walked past a metro entrance, he stated that he will not get in the metro cars, as they are fully automated, and he knows programmers.
Fully understand that the pilots accept the risks and dangers with their job - doesn't mean I have to like it, and I cannot help thinking if more testing (burn-testing on ground, automated flight at low altitude etc) could have revealed issues before it took a (however willing) man's life. All advances hold risks, all adventures comes with dangers, and we are definitely "standing on the shoulders of giants" today, when we have safe aviation, highspeed rail and a million other things that we take for granted. But we also are better at testing, simulating etc - no need to shut down an industry, just more testing needed in the case of Scaled Composites.
Alternative, lets recruit test-pilots from death-row - at least they can go out with a bang!
p>Not to nitpick, but danes refer to that centralized production as "surplus heat". The "surplus" heat is heat generated as a bi-effect from producing electricity.... - from coal. So, when the electricity all comes from wind, the danes need to find some other way to heat their houses during winter.
When I lived in Copenhagen, I never had to turn up the heat - literally, the heaters were set to defrost/off all year long. By the time I left Gentofte, I was actually surprised to find that one of the Calorimeters weren't showing 000. With decent insulation, you don't have to do much to keep an apartment or decently designed villa heated. Bodyheat, sunshine, electronics, heat from the evening-dinner, all adds up and all helps to keep the place nice and cozy....in fact, was reading an article about a (specially designed) house, where the actual issue was keeping it cold at times, due to being very energy-and-heating efficient. (I'll leave googling it up to you)
We have a partially-sortof-almost-similar thing in Denmark - it has transformed into a beast of fuckeduppedness, stupidity, incompetence and security-flaws...
Comments like your always scare me - the last thing we need is for people to think that "100% solar" (or, "100% some powersource") is in any way relevant to meeting our powerneeds.
You did read the TOS of your ISP provider, right? Some don't allow any server at all (email, Web, etc) on your home connection.
That's going to be an issue for a lot of people, who play video-games. Many games will use one of the machines as a host, to which the others connect, basically causing that player to be running a (temporary) game-server.
Last I looked (i.e. not recently), Android user-accounts require the user to be 18. At the same time, I've seen no non-enterprise solutions for locking down an Android phone.
Require all communication from the government(s) go via a dedicated email account, then have a robot tweet ever time an email happen to arrive at that account.
I can't tell you how many support tickets I have to go through because steam can't properly launch or update the main binaries that are covered under their drm. Most of the time it's AV issues, but once in a blue moon it's steam borkin' out. (0.25-0.5% of sales)
I've concluded Steam is one of the worst pieces of software on my computer: * Ca 20% of the time it fails to start a game, or stop it, not recognizing whether the game is already running * It occasionally refuses to close, claiming some game is still running (it isn't), and can keep the system from rebooting * It constantly nags about changing a setting on my computer, despite being denied numerous times * it autostarts, despite never having been allowed to do so, and spams me with ads for games I cannot run on any computer I own * Checking powerusage, it is consistently the highest or in the top-3, even with no window open * On another machine, the Steam Client consistently managed 2-5 frames-per-second - worse than even Microsoft Word! * Can change game-update settings, except cannot set it to not update a game at all * Highlighiting Kerbal Space Program and then hitting enter causes it to start playing sounds from Civilization V..
Overall, it may be delight with the discounts and the mass-market distribution, but my personal impression is that it is a piece of shite...

Only thing I got from this was that there is some girl called Aaronâ(TM) doing stuff.
Is why, when not at home, set a computer to play random video-clips from YouTube - Amazon will have fun figuring out what-is-what.
...that reads like one of the ST:DS9 episodes....
Why do you think the Duma created the No Gay Propaganda laws?
Was only way to get Putin to stop the flood of questionable pictures.
Talk to us Aussies about car prices, a base model BMW 320 is A$70,000.
I just looked up a BMW 320 at http://www.bmw.dk/dk/da/newveh... (Denmark)
320i - A$91,178.28

Vote, or do not, there is no try.
Tell that to Floridians - they seem to to try, and fail, in large numbers.

I disagree with it being naive.

If it triggers The Overview Effect in just 1-2 gazillionaires, the venture (but not really the death of pilots) is worth it.

That should allow SnR to effectively mask you against tracking.

Uhm, "President-elect"?
Wouldn't that imply that the position is voted upon?

That solves the lack-of-CO2 issue in their design.
