You are lucky. The Surgeon General made me fat overnight. I was at a definitely not fat Body Mass Index of 25.2. Suddenly they changed the definition of fat not-fat cut off from 26 to 25. Suddenly I am fat. My sugar is 99 and my BP is under 120. There is some talk of making sugar target 90 and BP target 110. I am going to be made very unhealthy by these bureaucrats, and become eligible to be prescribed expensive medication.
I don't get it. I thought the loopholes in classical mechanics is the quantum mechanics. If you close the loopholes and make it deterministic, then you are back to Newton, baby! Its all canon firing balls horizontally but what would happen if due to curvature the earth surface falls more rapidly than the canonball.
Your numbers are way off. It is true only 35% to 16% of the energy contained in the fuels eventually reach the customer in the form of electricity. But line losses are not 65% to 84%. Transmission losses are typically less than 10%.
Just called them when it would be available. They said the cable man would show up sometime between May 2017 and Sep 2020. Asked me to stay at home. They said they could not narrow down the window more.
Last time it was the Sorbanes-Oxley act. The company security policies were changed by a committee mainly run by lawyers. These 300$/hr billing rate guys have never logged into anything, always had a bevy of flunkies who did all the access to the computer, who printed out emails and who typed back the responses scrawled on the print outs. The main intent was to show that they had strict security policy in court, rather than implement policies that will actually improve security.
Passwords must be changed every ninety days, it must have one upper case, one lower case, one numeral, one non-alphanumeric, and no reuse of passwords, no substring can be a word or date found in the dictionary. A bunch of uninformed jury would be impressed, that was all the point. That it would force people to write down the passwords in sticky notes and very cleverly paste it on the underside of the keyboard is not realized by the bozos, or if it did, it did not bother them. More like, "yes!, Exactly! this process would net us enough scapegoats and sacrificial lambs to be thrown under the bus! I approve!!" would be their response if they understood what would really happen.
Not all government agencies are like that. FAA and NTSB have a decent reputation. If they realize pilots are not following procedures or checklist they would try to understand why and try to make the procedures easier to follow. (I think they would perform even better if we remove from FAA's charter "promotion of air travel" and make it exclusively concentrate on safety of air travel. )
Your frustration is due to some fundamental misunderstanding about the role of the schools. You seem to think the aim of the school system is to inculcate some deep love for knowledge, induce great free thinking, foster creativity, yada yada yada...
No sir/madam. The purpose of school system is to produce lots of people who would do boring, uninspiring, mindless things day in day out. Creative free thinking people cause trouble, question set ways of doing things and generally make things rough by rocking the boat. Yes, there is some need for creative thinking problem solving people. But a few that maintain their creativity despite the school system are enough.
This is what free market is thinking and this is how it has structured incentives and people and schools are shaped by the invisible hand.
Cell phone movement patterns coincided with annual peaks of German measles (actually renamed Liberty measles during World War I anti-German frenzy in USA) in Kenya. Not sure what else would correlate with annual events. Rains, migratory animals, pollen, food prices, seasonal foods all have some annual rhythm. So there is going to be high correlation between all annual events. So I really don't get what this cell phone movement correlation withe G measles really means.
So we can expect NoScript in chrome? Will it run in Android Chrome too? How do you block the really annoying pop-ups in android? The screen real estate is tiny, it does not go away, it prompts back why are you deleting this popup etc.
What? Germany follows the goblin rules of ownership? The goblin law: Maker always owns the creation, muggles and wizards who pay get a lifetime use license and the habit of wizards to pass goblin made objects from person to person without paying license fees to the goblin maker is considered a grave violation of goblin rights.
MS-Word baked some incredible unscrutable cruft into its pagination and formatting. Its managers imagined WYSIWYG as the biggest feature over WordPerfect that had formatting codes. They took it to insane levels by changing the formatting when the printer is changed. Imagine that! Everytime the document is opened, if the printer has changed in the mean time it would repaginate. Later it killed WordPerfect by making every printer maker adopt to MS driver spec. Now the document is back in charge, telling the printer what to print. But the cruft that got baked into Ms-Word could not be backed out. Not easily, not without breaking its alleged allegiance to backward compatiblity.
It is so bad, its alleged "open" "standard" OO-XML has binary cruft in the spec. The spec basically says "whatever the old MS-Word did with this binary is the standard". Even Microsoft is not able to come up with a reference implementation that does not depend the ability to execute the original MS-Word6 binary buried under several layers of emulation.
This is the real way to build a cash cow. No one else can paginate the way old Ms-Word6 binary did. And if you inveigle your customers into incorporating that pagination as the essential part of their process, then you can laugh at them, tell them you are going to squeeze till they yelp, and they can do anything about it.
You keep saying the same thing again and again. Are you legit? Or are you connected with SmartCity somehow? Don't want to call you a shill without evidence. But I have not seen any serious top company officials go to jail for anything. Not for causing oil rig explosion that killed people, oil spills, coal ash wash outs, nearly destroying the global financial system, lying about the company prospects... nothing seems to put the top bosses in jail. And you keep parotting as though if I catch them blocking wifi they are going to jail.
They will create another shell company that will do the blocking. Eventually when that shell company gets caught, it too would pay a trivial fine without admitting guilt and sign another consent order. SmartCity will feign ignorance.
As usual, Microsoft will be receiving comments on the new features via the Feedback app.
After our offices relocated we started having a strange unexplained auto reboot of windows 7 systems. Seemingly random, different machines on different days, whether overnight jobs were running or not it did not matter. But every other day one machine would have rebooted overnight. Took enormous amounts of digging, but the clue was that it was always between 12 midnight and 12:30 AM. Finally localized it to some service called "Windows Experience". Apparently it was introduced when Vista came along to pop up the dialog "this application has crashed. Do you want to relaunch it compatibility mode?". This would collect all the crashed programs of the day and phone home at 12 midnight. For some reason it did not cause any trouble in the old location. But for some reason in the new building the phoning home app would crash the system and trigger an auto reboot. Even our IT could not figure it out. It took some really determined (or pissed off ) developer who kept digging through the logs to locate the offending service.
So before Microsoft introduces another feedback app, it should first let us all know how to disable it.

You no longer have to put up with the blue screen of death. Now you have the option to have speckled, sparkled, opalescent, translucent, scintillating, coruscant, flourescent, effervescent blue screens of death.
People repeatedly say "Gamers!" as the people who need high performance machines. I laugh at them. Gaming machines are probably the most powerful machines owned by real people. But when it comes to corporations... It is us the physics simulation people who solve partial differential equations who need really heavy hardware. Heck, we pack 8 graphics cards, yes 8 individual cards on special purpose mother boards, into one server that does not even have a monitor. Yes, we are that insane. All these GPUs think they are rendering polygons, but we trick them into solving chemically reacting fluids flow.
My desktop right now has 64 GB. But my test machines are 256 GB 32 processor machines one linux and one windows. But that is only for small jobs that I test my code in stand alone mode. Integrated with the full simulation, we generally would need a high performance cluster.
I have looked at foreclosed homes where the previous owners were evicted. The owners themselves rip out anything of value and take it or sell it. Carpets, built-in microwaves and ovens, window treatment hardware, blinds... One had even kitchen cabinets ripped open. One owner had let the faucet running after plugging the sink drain holes...
Also noticed some homes auctioned for 3000$ and 5000$ in Detroit had well established rhododendron and azalea bushes 20-25 feet tall, small fruit trees less than 30 feet tall, lots of weeping cherries and japanese maple and dwarf alberta spruce etc. The value of the plants alone would often exceed the auction price. Wish I had the money to buy them, dig out the bushes and sell them to nurseries.

Because the superstar speaks it.
Just start worrying what would you do if you suddenly lose it all. Simple.

But a realist would say Ashley Madison is just a thief stealing money from lonely, unhappy men.

This is what we have been doing for software bugs. Almost industry standard now.

Went through an OS/2 warp phase and an NT4 phase before I got into Linux, Solaris and finally *BSD.
No wonder you ended up finally with a Star Blue Screen of Death. Editing the registry that much would do that to you.

Looks like one of the early uses is to submit duplicate stories to popular sites again and again. It is deja vu all over again man...

Nah, his wife has a rich husband, so she drives a Tesla. But he is not married some rich girl, so he conserves money. It makes sense.
For them life begins at conception. Since there is no conception here, well, everything must be A-OK.

Next time a recruiter contacts you, tell him you're looking for $200k (push up all our salaries).
What if I land the job? I don't want a pay cut.
