That's already how it works. Take your hands off the steering wheel and you get a warning with increasing frequency until the car begins to decelerate, assuming that the driver has become unable to respond.
UVerse Internet + UVerse TV is more expensive than UVerse Internet + Hulu Premium + Netflix. That's all I really care about. Sure, you can get deals for UVerse TV and pay an "introductory" price for a year but at the end of that year, the introductory price goes away. You can't just call customer service and ask for the same deal. They'll tell you to piss up a rope and suck on it. You have to cancel your TV service and, like clockwork, a month later they'll send you a flyer to get "introductory pricing" for a year's service. It happened to me. It happened to a dozen of my friends. AT&T isn't customer friendly and their default stance in customer service is to call your bluff when you say you're canceling.
I cancelled AT&T UVerse TV and I'm never going back. Why? Because now, I only watch what I want to watch instead of whatever's on.
That's not going to happen. At the very least, you need a person present who is legally permitted to drive the vehicle. In the case of a system error, the computer would relinquish control and you'd be expected to drive.
Thank you for proving the point. You can't buy a police car. You can buy something that looks like a police car at which point you need to attach lights and a badge decal and... Then, you still need a uniform. If you're willing to perform an illegal act, there are easier and less obtrusive ways perform it.
So your saying that when police use undercover agents to bust kiddie porn rings, dangerous drug production labs, terrorist type groups and other similar things that are bad for society that you would rather they didn't bust them using a method that allows them to potentially find a larger number of members than those they would have caught by doing a single raid on a facility?
And to the point about police safety, I think anything that keeps anyone safe is a good thing. There is no need to point out there are more dangerous jobs. Its like saying that the taxi driver doesn't need a seat belt because the construction worker has a more dangerous job.
You know, if the government burned the constitution, the bill of rights, and all the amendments, our police officers would have much more latitude to identify and arrest both the root cause of these crimes and it's whole support network. The logic you put forth supports this action. Yeah, yeah. I can see your response now: "I didn't mean what you're implying". Maybe, "Now you're just being stupid. No one wants that."
If you honestly think that's a justification for what you said, you're not worth the air you consume. Here's a suggestion: pull your head out of your ass and say what you mean instead of making vague references. If it's too hard to do, stay off the internet, idiot. I hope it's not an issue of motivation. How worthlessly lazy you would be if you couldn't be bothered to think a complete thought before vomiting it onto slashdot.
In addition, you clearly have no idea what a K-map is -- because this article just sounds like the application of a k-map (its underlying principle) to the current tax code. If the tax code says, "Everyone who is over 5' tall must pay $10" and "Everyone who is 5'6" tall must pay at least $7", you can eliminate the second rule because everyone who is 5'6" is also over 5' and therefore must pay $10 which is trivially greater than $7.
Is that not what this article says?
I bought into Android and instead of lording my decision over everybody I'm just going to remind everyone that the long run has been predicted by many industries. Apple and Blackberry will remain as niche players but it's going to be an Android future.
Given that predicting what path technology will take is like predicting the weather, I'm more inclined to believe that most everyone will follow their near-term optimum which, by your own claims, involves three times more iOS than Android. The moment polls start indicating that devs feel Android has the best near-term payoff is the moment I'll start to believe that it's an Android future.
If the US government admits that "The Ter'rists" are a statistically insignificant threat, they instantly nullify the need for the TSA empire. We can't convince the people of this country that a need to override their rights exists if we can't cite the existence of a conveniently omnipresent boogey man.
+10% copied >= "a few pages"? Well then, my degree just gained 10% in value over recent grads. The internet facilitates lazy behavior in those who are predisposed. The more of them that cheapen their degree, the more impressive I look.
Let's ignore the fact that spelling out acronyms upon first use is one of the most basic elements of good article writing. If I Google for DotA, I don't know that the first hit resolves to the intended acronym unless I already know what DotA stands for in which case I wouldn't have needed to Google it in the first place.
Here's a paper written by a fellow who's now a professor at U of I, Chicago which relates to the topic. The gist is that taxi's in a city were equipped with wifi and opportunistically connected to open access points as they traveled. The article won't revolutionize anything but it's certainly an interesting read and something worthy of building upon. One of the interesting parts is that the taxi-side wifi used a custom written utility to accelerate establishing a connection which didn't bother negotiating transmission speed but rather used a fixed 11Mbps as this was determined to be optimal for the setting.
If China can produce high quality print cartridges for, in some cases 1/10th the cost of American made, it points to the fact that most of the price is markup to "whatever we can get away with". And by "high quality", I mean "good enough for my graphic designer wife who's been in the industry for 15 years and can be a real nazi about print quality." HP can't afford to confirm how great the markup is. The backlash from their "competitors" (read "those in collusion") would be staggering.
I've never used Android but you seem to be telling me that it has opt-in gateway security and a local security model that's proven ineffectual to anyone unwilling to consider implications (re: Microsoft's UAC). For the average user, it sounds like Apple has the superior model.
When rich white folk start having to pay real money to legal citizens for what they deem "menial" jobs, that law is going to vanish with great rapidity. I'm not saying that I'm happy with that dynamic but there's not a whole lot I can do about it from here.
Anti-American? Wh...what? This movie was a criticism of greed in the form of unchecked capitalism. This movie was a criticism of warmongering. I don't know about you but the USA that I live in has an identity outside of those things.
The companies that supply American power (fossil fuels and nuclear) will not simply give up, throw in the towel, and retire to the beach when it becomes impractical to "get more fuel". They'll simply find another way to produce energy from renewable resources and sell it.
Does this mean that the satellite will enter orbit but with an undesired geometry or will it achieve splashdown far earlier than expected? I suppose that there's another alternative that both amuses and appalls me: that South Korea just fired off millions of dollars of taxpayer money into deep space. I mean, they could have achieved the same result by wrapping up 100 kg of cash in duct tape and fire it into Jupiter, right below the sign that says "put litter in it's place" with a Neptune sized arrow that pointing at the red spot.
If you want a new laptop that "just works", buy an Apple. Some people enjoy taking their cars apart and rebuilding them. It gives them great joy to learn about how the engine fits together and how it works. Likewise, some people install and run linux because administration and tweaking give them great joy. It's the difference between a computer as a hobby and a computer as a tool. A laptop with OSX is a tool. A laptop with Ubuntu is a hobby. I might be flamed into oblivion for saying this but I don't care: Linux is a fine OS but it's not the answer to everything. I propose that with sufficient effort, a Linux box could be superior to any other proprietary OS in every way; however, the amount of effort required to achieve this result is far above what even most linux hobbyists would want to invest.
I guess that what I'm driving at is to use the right tool* for the job.
* - "tool" is used in a different context than it was previously.
The ancient greeks are rolling in their graves right now. If she's got two X chromosomes, just drop it. Hell, if it were up to the ancient greeks, they'd just want to know that she didn't have a prong in her trousers.
I see a lot of folks coming to the defense of the community of CoH players that found the researcher's apparently selfish refusal to follow generally accepted rules of in-game behavior reprehensible. What I find interesting is that never are these comments couched in the acceptance that what the players later did (threats of real-life violence!) was equally as socially unacceptable. If someone makes an appearance in my niche and rocks the boat, do I suddenly gain the right to pursue them out of my little niche and exact vengence -- physical violence -- against someone who did little more than frustrate me? Look at the proportion of researcher stimulus to elicited community response. This is clearly a case of abnormal psychology that needs to be studied.

Unless you live in the EU where companies are subject to sane data privacy laws.

Hell to pay? I can tell! You're so fearsome you posted as "Anonymous Coward".
The notion that Netflix has sufficient influence over DVDs to kill them is patently absurd.
You must be immune to irony.

Looking at this would be strange enough. Now try to imagine being the guy who has to /draw/ this stuff.
