Oh you mean the figure that keeps going up and up? I can't believe you haven't read up on this since the 1992 report. It's called google, you can use it to find out how outdated your own information is.
Who the fuck has a 500mW pointer? That, for one, is not legal to sell, and for two, so now you have a device that big that you can move by hand? Yeahhhhh the bullshit kinda defeats your post.
Hey, don't forget those pesky volcanoes that we need to get on board to clean the climate. Going to take a lot of virgin sacrifices to appease their emissions!
The 2014 claim is dubious at best. The Nasa said the claim had a 36% chance of being right, which means it had a 64% chance of being wrong. The claim was also.02 Celsius warmer which Nasa said had a tolerance of correctness of ±.1 degrees. Haven't heard what the accuracy of the last two claims was, but with the numbers from 2014 that got little press, any one that isn't a little questioning of the claims is not true to the science or to math itself.
What do you mean? Did you miss the articles that claim "the dry areas are soaking up the rising water levels" because their claims are not panning out?
Oh no, you are going to get the "weather is not the climate, but we will claim that the extreme weather that always has happened is a result of climate change". If you think about the double talk too much it will make your head hurt. That's why we have the claims already going month by month now. Money must be an issue. But yeah, northern Florida snow gets skipped right over for the "It's GLOBAL, not LOCAL" delusions.
My thinking too. They said it was 13 miles in to it's flight which would rule out anyone in a tall building doing it unless people think jets ascend on a 5 degrees angle. And to be able to hit a window at a distance and hit it long enough to cause vision issues for the pilots? I would think if someone had a laser targeting system that accurate the authorities would have no problem finding them since it would most likely be in a lab for research and most likely an academic institution.
Talk is cheap and you posted as an anonymous coward? Ahhh yeahhh, a big cup of you're a fucking idiot is in order. It's been 2 years and they still can't overcome the weather factor. Money isn't going to fix it. But yes, because you "want it yesterday" means we should all goose step to Lord Google's drum beat. Guaranteed you are under 30 and think you are 10x smarter then you actually are.
The red herring in all this is that these cars can't handle weather or other road conditions very well. Potholes would be a major concern because avoiding them with oncoming traffic and other factors, with maybe a dash of weather, say ice on the road, etc. makes them not so much the great white hope that all to many seem to claim that they will be. Speaking in general terms, humans actually do a pretty good job of driving a car. Unfortunately, instead of using rational thinking in curbing distracted driving we see a push for something that is ripe for abuse and intrusion.
Throw in things like this and I find it odd that anyone would be "all in" on self driving cars.
Actually people, overall, are pretty good at driving. Issues now a days arise from distractions. Far too many think holding their phones out at eye level while they drive is perfectly fine, even when you give them dirty looks or if your windows are down suggest that what they are doing is dangerous, they flip out, because they are so wrapped up in themselves, they are too stupid and inconsiderate to think of the dangers they put everyone in. They also are oblivious of the traffic issues they create. But when you think of the speeds on a modern highway, with people traveling a few feet from each other, there not being total pile-ups everywhere is a testament to peoples ability to drive.
Actual Chrysler is one if the easiest to send commands on. It's very year dependent across ALL brands. With all the FUD over someone taking control of your car, different CAN buses have been separated out. That goes for the imports listed too. So to say the imports are all easy and the domestics are not is indeed bullshit. I can almost bet the BMW he was talking about is at least pre 2002.
Like what you said, but most local governments give tax exemptions to businesses building factories in their districts, so property taxes are not that big an issue.
Lumber would fall under a raw materials heading, and wouldn't fall under the same rates as other manufactured goods. That's pretty much how it is now. Before the SLA that the US had with Canada, a 15% Tax Tariffs was common. Relatives have owned lumber mills in Michigan, and when NAFTA went through, it actually became too expensive for him to import logs from Canada. Before that it was his cheapest option. Before he shut down he was shipping from Washington state most of the time.
Just about every car on the market you can pull info from it's ODB port via laptop if you have the right software. Lots of Ford engines are Mazda engines. The Mustang used to be built on the same lines as a Mazda. Are you working on pre 2007 BMW? That's might be easier with the tools you have because it might not be ODB II and it might not be CAN compatible. If the ODB to USB cord doesn't support that, then that might be part of your issues. I have never seen one easier then another as long as you are using the right tool for the job.
Who cares? Really, I can see why some think what he is saying is pretty out there, but I am always a little shocked when the media that loves to pine on about how many jobs are leaving the US take issue with someone's plan to bring back or keep jobs in the US, most certainly manufacturing jobs. As far as the treaties go, do you really think the countries we have those with are following them to a T? A lot of them don't even follow world treaties and then go on and on about how they are champions of the terms of those treaties then later we find out they have been bullshitting everyone all along.
Some times you have to be a little underhanded to get the douche bags off your back. They all screw something up from time to time. I find that if you tell those in charge what happened or complaining to HR that person X keeps screwing things up, most times beyond 2 or 3 times it's amazing how quickly they change their tune.
The bonus of my position is that I get all the info on the maintenance scans on people's computers, and a lot of times people have things that show up. Sometimes it's just unwanted stuff, others it's straight up malware and sometimes even viruses (software we use requires local admin for users for it to function properly). Whether or not a big deal is made of it is up to the person themselves. If they are an asshole or been an asshole to me, a big deal gets made of it with words thrown in like "could have took down the network". That gets people walking on egg shells and gets them talking to me in the nicest of ways. Pull that one enough times and you'll find that the whole dance routine will not happen much anymore, pretty much only when there is a big problem.
You position is most likely different in nature than mine, but social engineering books go a long way in handling the day to day dick-erey of the work place. The Art of Human Hacking is a good start.
Hey!!! I thought chip & pin was going to save the world? I am sure the chip & pin fanboys (odd that a person is a fanboy of it) will have excuses. "Well if the software was impla....blah blah blah".
Yeah, that's what the media seems to skip all the time, that it was those retailers systems that cause the data leaks. Then the media calls for different readers and chip and pin cards. Makes you wonder who is feed the media such bullshit.
Always was just a farce. It is being pushed here because, I am certain, that the banks will push for what they got out of it in Europe. That the card holder is on the hook for the charges and to prove them fraudulent. So even if it was fraud, you have to pay on it till you can prove it is fraud. Matter of time before there is a push in the US for this same system.
Yes because record ice cover on the Great Lakes plus 120 year old record cold broken last year and the beginning of this year is "normal temperature"
You know what causes record ice cover? RECORD LOWS!! And BTW, so you are over 120 years old? And can post a message that contains a little HTML? Wow that's pretty impressive!

Is that like realizing that Germany has never had a climate similar to Canada also?

No, because some douche bag that doesn't get a joke will comment because he is too much of a shithead to enjoy life.
Wait, what kind of beer from Sierra Nevada? Is it like their pale ale?
It looks like a parachute. How exactly is that "really cool looking"?

That contained absolutely no science, it was just political debate on a subject. I think someone needs to tell Slashdot what science is.
