As they get sicker and sicker, people deal with the mess and viola...
Depends on what you play. I've heard many an upbeat tune played on the viola. If you're into somber melodies it's better to get an Irish band.
When I was in University I had a parking spot such that I could walk through a hospital for quite a distance on the way to my classes. It seemed everyone who parked there would do that because when it's -20 Celsius or below (-4 F and below) you can get pretty cold walking outside in the wind. I walked outside. Why expose yourself to that crap day after day? Eventually you'll catch something, hopefully nothing more serious than the flu but who knows. I only got a bit cold.
They don't want people looking at their devices with their headphones in when the captain says "brace for impact" a moment before you're supposed to land normally. It's not that hard to just be ready for an important announcement before takeoff and landing. And they're right that you want everything stowed away for those two phases of the flight.
I'd go for reducing overall visual quality rather than the AI quality. Having good AI, and supposedly better gameplay as a result, should be at the top of the priority list. I'd go so far as to reduce the visual quality so much that the framerate is high and the game responsiveness is super smooth.
I recently enabled this. It works. My email account is more secure. You can also generate codes for off-grid use, such as when you have internet access but no cell phone coverage.
Yes, GPS is more accurate for distance traveled. The odometer reading is based on tire circumference, which varies with tire wear, temperature, and tire pressure. GPS's primary weakness is altitude, but it can still be used to get a far more accurate distance measurement than our odometers.
It's threads like this that make me glad I don't run Linux. Childish bickering in the Linux community is rampant.
The only way to get more reliable distance measurement is by GPS, so by all means go for it. However, it is easy to get a far more accurate fuel use number by using the actual volume of fuel you paid for, and it's the same for all vehicles since we all use the same calibrated pumps. Ideally, one wouldn't rely on any of the onboard instruments to calculate these numbers, but we're pretty sure the odometers aren't completely fraked up. I can't say the same about the fuel flow meter.
Not going to happen unless it's legislated. You can't trust the calculation given by the cars, and the automakers absolutely do not want every car to track this since they leave themselves open to lawsuits when the numbers don't meet whatever was advertised. For example, the readout on my car gives L/100km but it's rounded to the whole number! So it's useless even if it was accurate because the precision is gone.
I like it when people quote their fuel efficiency numbers and then I find out they were getting the measurements from some readout on their dash. It takes quite a bit of actual logging and averaging to produce real fuel efficiency numbers and I doubt that many people do it at all.
As much as I like to bash American units they aren't really the issue here.
I played a DVD the other day, something I haven't done in a few years. It took damn near forever to get the actual movie playing. It was ad after ad for movies from ten years ago. Pirated movies are great. You hit play and the movie starts. That's it.
I can't imagine that it's Comcast policy to try and get their customers, angry or not, fired from their jobs.
