Clearly they need to be banned or at least restricted to require the driver has to swap gearboxes every 5 shifts. Anyone who needs to shift more than 5 times must be up to no good.
Yes, the concept you are describing is the conservation of risk. Safer cars make drivers less careful, helmets make bicyclists less careful and drivers (the ones that see them) treat them as less fragile objects, criminals are bolder where the freedom to bear arms is curtailed, and people who know they can get health insurance on their way to the ER are less likely to have it already.
Oh and the one thing improved armor technology is never used for is lightening the load on the soldier, cop etc. The just increase the required protection level and maintain a fixed weight.
Without knowing how wide the margin of error is the fact that they were within them is meaningless.
My model predicts average global temperatures will drop by 1.27 degrees celsius over the next 5 years (+/- 23.97 degrees). There, I just disproved AGW.
I believe it is safe to assume that they (Walmart) also receives some form of direct compensation as well to host the lockers, either on a fixed monthly or per-use arrangement.
While I agree that increasing transaction costs reduces the overall number of submissions, its not as if there is a significant problem with spurious entries to begin with. That type of disincentive is most effective in preventing DoS-like problems, and the charge doesn't need to be large. Imagine what a $0.01 charge to place/cancel an offer would do to high frequencey trading. What you propose is more along the lines of regulatory capture, creating the type of barrier to entry we collectively like to complain about here on/.
Well, I meant "do better than something I'd be prone to watch from the traditional producers of the televised media." I have no intention of comparing anything to either of those shows due to the fact my sense of integrity would require me to actually seek out and experience them first hand. -shudder-
The Spam problem has been somewhat annoying, and when I saw the opportunity to keep the bot from locking in the first spot I jumped on it. And then followed up with an on-topic reply to self to give the community a place to comment guaranteed to be above the bot. It appears to be working.
Does not require anything other than luck. You get 50% of your genome from your father, that 50% just happens to be the 50% he got from his father (Y included) and you get 50% from your mother, that just happens to be the 50% she got from her father (his X chromosome included) and voila a grandchild with no genetic relationship (mitichodrial DNA excluded) to either of his grandmothers.
23 pairs of chromosomes gives 2^23*2^23=7.03687E+13
Dividing by approx 7 billion people currently alive gives a ~0.0095% chance that there is someone alive right now that fits this possibility.
One justification for Congressional salaries is that they have to pay for a 2nd home in D.C.
There is plenty of Section 8 housing in D.C. just make it mandatory that they live there. Or put them up in dormitories at Ft. Myer. Communal bathrooms could only help to improve bi-partisanship.
I'm only 42 (so feel free to ask me to depart your grassy area) and can confirm the exitence of "tracks" in the 80s, however they were not meaningfully separated environments. Sure the AP calc class was full of college bounds but was the cafeteria, the bus, the locker room etc?
I know I'm breaking the convention of reading before posting, however to quote TFA "the mechanical problem had nothing to do with the type of fuel used, as first reported."
That's a great idea for an app. Got a few wrinkles in your suit and have that big meeting in 15 minutes. Just download the iRon app to your phone, max out your processor for a few minutes and get to it.
PS: Sorry, I know your original idea was for an Android, but the "iRon" joke works better on Apple. Maybe someone in the FOSS community can whip up an open source version for you.

When a semi-automatic can shift gear in 50ms...

Would that be the second plane, which by total coincidence is also the first scheduled to leave?

I wonder if anyone has yet designed a task-specific cable-cutting anchor or is this an untapped market?

Thx, I may be two years late to the news but I'll be interested to see if they can do better than the traditional sources of production.
What the one story for which the robotroll subject is on-topic and it doesn't get first post? BTW: Screw the OP.
When did Netflix become a production company? What's next, becoming an ISP?
I hope.

Duh, that is why character sheets have separate spots to record them!
Yes but this is with a computer! (on the internet?)

That could take 3 hours.
Unfortunately, you're missing a third group: people who look to be offended so they can play a victim and get attention. Adria's in this last group.
I believe that is called Münchausen syndrome.
Most cars these days have a little arrow by the fuel gauge that indicates which side the fuel filling point is on.

Sure, but Joe and Winston would have been the ones on trial.
I believe the standard prostitute EULA describes it as "a time-constrained, non-transferable license."
