It's servers. The Cloud is made out of servers. They're making our remote computing out of servers. Next thing, we'll be replacing our local servers for remote servers. You've gotta tell them. You've gotta tell them!
You tell everybody. Listen to me. Hatcher. You've gotta tell 'em! THE CLOUD IS SERVERS! We gotta stop them! Somehow! Listen! Listen to me⦠PLEASE!!!
And decided to charge 50x more. My guess is the Autodesk one uses gears and stuff. Still doesn't warrant $5000. Maybe they're providing a full suite of their software with the printer (doubtful)?
You know, the ones where he and a bunch of other famous people apparently "traveled back in time"? Unless they have more than a saddle patch to go on (a distinctive harpoon mark or tail gash), this could just be a look-a-like for the Orca from 103 years ago, just like the Nicholas Cage look-a-like.
Ignorance of good computing practices thankfully isn't quite as dangerous, but it can become very expensive when someone decides to copy confo-info data to a personal system "to work from home" or the like.
Ah, I see now. I had reading comprehension problems. Didn't realize the choices were (X1 || X2) I thought it was (X1 && X2) || (!X1 && !X2). The vagaries of English.
Make some character generators, weather generators, dungeon generators or the like. Slow or involved number crunching for your games that is drudgery on paper but easy with a program. Mass combat resolution using old D&D WarMachine rules and a spellbook generator were my first mid-range projects outside of school projects (which were much more involved).
If this were just about electing a mayor I'd agree. However, the referendum was controversial and many boycotted it.
If the local KKK had a referendum on whether black people should be placed in concentration camps or just shot on sight, and only 0.001% of the population turned out, would the conclusion be that most people don't care about black people being shot on sight?
That depends on whether the local KKK had thugs brandishing weapons at the polling places. If there was no reason to fear a backlash, then yeah, the people didn't care one way or another. If there were masked men with semi or full-auto rifles who refused to identify themselves taking over government buildings and making roadblocks to restrict travel, I could see why low turn-out would mean nothing other than people were afraid to vote.
Just the other day I was walking to my car at my university parking lot, and I noticed some unidentified civilian vehicle with scanners mounted front and back slowly driving by all the parked cars.
That's probably the parking authority company your university contracted to make sure people are paying for their parking spots. Of course, such a vehicle should be marked as from said company.
And if you want to gripe about the cops not being willing to do anything about it, that's a manpower issue
Not when the cops are unwilling to follow up on easy leads while they are instead literally sitting in their cars all day long waiting for speeders because speeding tickets earn their department revenue (and catching muggers doesn't). There's plenty of manpower. The cops just don't want to risk their lives for "just a phone" because they know these are potentially violent criminals that are taking the phones. It's cowardice and avarice, not lack of manpower.
Pro-tip for when you absolutely must use rm -rf for anything:
first type the directory you're planning to delete
#/\!BigData\!
then go back to the beginning of the prompt and add the recursive rm
# rm -rf/\!BigData\!
This way, a typo when reaching for a \ ' ] or "shift" won't start a terrible cascade.
'Spider-Man 3' (2007) tried to get with the times by giving Maguire a black suit (courtesy of an alien symbiote) and a little bit of an attitude, an effort that pretty much everybody seems to view as a failure.
No, Spider-Man 3 was a near-faithful movie version of the alien-suit saga, a pivotal point in Spider-Man's career where the suit was making Peter stronger and a better fighter, but also more callous and brutal. To say the black suit was the director's attempt at an edgy Spider-Man is like saying the death of the witch king in Return of the King was Peter Jackson's attempt at feminist ideology.
In the feared case of gas leak explosion, the entire street becomes unlivable. Houses next door will be destroyed. Houses further out will be shifted off their foundations and fire departments will not let anyone enter. All the houses in the neighborhood will have broken windows.
Keep the photocopies in a sealed envelope so you know if someone has tampered with them ( if you're paranoid). If you're really paranoid, scan them and encrypt the files, store the files on three types of media (flash, optical, paper print out of the bytes) in your safe deposit box. If you're less paranoid, keep the originals at the bank. Presumably, you only need them when you have advanced notice and very rarely. The bank will have better fire/explosion mitigation.

I was discussed.
What were they saying about you? Maybe how you were really disgusted?

Leisuresuit Headcrab? Sounds like an interesting game.
Some are reinforced. Some are edited over time. Some are just gone. Do you remember every second of your commute three days ago? Today's?
will be banned by the courts.
It had better not be! It should be banned by the legislature. Courts have no business banning anything except within the courtrooms.
My software told me "your username/password is invalid". So I entered "invalid" for both. Still didn't work.

Schoolgirls don't gush over ponies any more unless they're 3d printed custom My Little Ponies.
I see flash-mob-posses as being a bad thing for society.

It also means splendid or super. "He's a great leader" doesn't mean "he trains a secret paramilitary group of obese men"
That's what cheese said!

They must be feeling pretty secure if they don't need to pretend they're protecting us.
