You are responsible for a pack of pitbulls, and are equipped with Milkbone and "Here doggie, doggie, doggie". Then someone has the idea of multiple people in charge of a single pitbull, each person equipped with Milkbone and "Here doggie, doggie, doggie". Should anyone feel safer?
You should also go one step less. I suggest one, or two, days per week that are electricity-free. Permitted would be sports, hikes, splitting wood, gardening, or just time spent at the kitchen table with a large artist's pad full of blank sheets of paper, with a stack of pencils, pens and sharpies nearby.
You are not alone. This week's TV broadcast of the Seattle vs Carolina NFL game got switched out for a "more competitive game" after Seattle was up by four touchdowns.
I used to like watching Formula 1, until they switched to hybrid cars. Mercedes has totally dominated ever since, with Hamilton and Rosburg winning almost every race. Routinely we are shown "the race for 7th" because the leaders are so far ahead.
My solution is to watch the game until the outcome is fairly certain, then simply do something else. Not a good solution for the sport's advertisers.
I thought the same, and worse. Until I started caring for someone who is a quadraplegic. Dragon works on his laptop, but there are times where a "Heh, Alexa" fits in nicely.
The owner of gsfctechnology.gsfc.nasa.gov has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.
When Microsoft switched to web-based navigation for Windows, I thought "Idiots! But luckily no one else will be this stupid".
At that time I was working with SBT accounting systems, that ran Foxbase or FoxPro on dBase files. We already had the joy of different runtimes for different clients but then came web-navigation-based installers. Even better, the installers only worked on certain version of Internet Explorer/Windows. Fortunately I forget the details, but finding a way to make your latest product UNinstallable was a pretty spectacular example of the lunacy of jumping on the latest fad.
When I become interested in a new podcast, I try to get the older MP3s. But I also like to know how long all of that will take. With infinite pages? No idea. Run out of time? Come back later and wait for a server 100 times to load a relatively small web page.
If ten more of us weighed in, we could post ten more reasons why infinite web pages suck.
I worked (briefly) in a call center where we handled people who had called an 800 number. We asked a series of questions that we read from and filled out on an HTML page.
I suspected something was fishy and looked at the source -- it was exactly like what Bill Sourour had coded -- it didn't matter how people answered, the same non-result in the end.
People thought the number would help them, but it was used to harvest information, nothing else. One of the most screwed up environments I've ever worked in.
Apple creates superior interfaces. Through custom (& patented) hardware and software. And a lot of thought.
Personally I can't stand the Apple tax (that those same patents enable), but as an engineer, designer and analyst I have to give them full credit for their interfaces. Well. Thought. Out.
As to the latest MBP, it is much like Windows 10 -- put annoying stuff into your product when sales are flagging -- it will give the press something to chatter about and any publicity is good publicity.
Dual engine is antilock brakes.
Single engine is airbags.
In the event of a road hazard, antilock brakes avoid the hard and write off the nothing while airbags lead to the write-off of everything. So manufacturers continue to grow the number of airbags, while insurance companies pay you to have ABS.
Imagine how many engines the jet manufacturer wants...
I read the recent Ars piece on how the pizza biz uses robots to make pizza. At first this was a bit of a surprise/news to me, but then you immediately realize how repetitive the job is. Great use for robots -- faster, less waste, tireless, etc. But also, great job for a human to no longer do -- brain-deadening, low-paying and a RSI maker if ever there was one.

I'm an idiot...can't believe I never tried that during testing.
Thanks.
Two things I'm looking for:
(1) able to run a DOS program full screen. If DOSBox can do it, I don't know how...
(2) able to run some old 16-bit Windows programs on 64-bit Windows. Can DOSBox do this? (I just never thought to try it).
These two things are holding up my move to 64-bit...
Can this be run from 64-bit Windows to provide 16-bit program support?
This comment caught me by surprise until I read your signature that says you make a plugin for YouTube.
The most reverted article, on the other hand, is not known because they had only used a 32-bit counter.

As does Hello Barbie
Actually, they move at more like 1% of the SoL.

Feynman's quote came 69 years later. I'd say element 137 should be named Sommerfeldium.

Seems like a good solid incremental gain -- 15% -- not some "ten times better" claim. I'll give it a chance.
Yay. My log files should be 25% smaller now.

So why did democrats want it, and republicans not want it?
If we're not careful, we may have to give republicans the nod on this one.
The public knew about it on or before January 30, 2014.
Fixed the subject line for you.
