I think I see Godwin lurking just around the corner.

I've just noticed a huge vulnerability in keyless entry on cars - you can open the door without a key!
** just so we don't have a story without a car analogy **
Nor will it EVER have its day until there is a real 3D display system.
Now, stereoscopic filmmaking may be over, but that's hardly 3D except in the eyes of the bewildered.
I guarantee you, when a 3D production can be made, distributed and enjoyed, the day of 3D will begin, and it isn't likely to *ever* go back to 2D (or the pale imitation that is stereoscopy.)
Also, happy solstice + 3. I wish you a suitably bacchanalian event, complete with frolicking, consensual partner of your choice.
Eh? People don't have 3D vision, they have stereoscopic vision. You see two scenes projected onto two 2D surfaces (your retines). Hence, the movies are pretty well matched to your vision system.
This will only happen once a suitable alternative is found to keep running old vehicles. Washington isn't about to mandate a fuel 95% of car owners can't use. We had the same arguments when lead fuel was eliminated. Actually the very same "Oh but what about my '69 Mustang" arguments.
Well here we are today, no lead in the fuel and a small additive on the market for owners of vehicles which required leaded gas.
Not just older vehicles. E-15 should also not be used in new motorcycles, lawnmowers, chain saws, ATVs and light-duty trucks. Anything not covered by auto regulations in 2001 to make engines more alcohol-safe.
I remember looking at a voter turnout map. One county had a very high population but almost no poll responses or voters. Turned out to be where the prison was located.
Columbine and Newtown school shootings were both with legally acquired guns in the wrong hands. Robberies and drug deal shootings frequently use illegal (hence less traceable) guns.
The broadcasters are required to keep track of political airtime sold or donated. The FCC enforces public access to this file. Broadcaster mind control is all covered in the 1983 documentary "Videodrome" (James Woods, Debbie Harry).
Saying that its ok if the shallow water corals die because we still have the deep water coral shows you have no understanding of the role of coral reefs. Its like saying its ok if all the evergreens die because I still have an aluminum christmas tree in the garage.
Coastal flooding is the least of our problems if global warming gets out of control.
The real kick in the balls would be changing weather patterns fucking over our agricultural industry.
Worst US drought in decades deepens to cover 60 percent of lower 48 states
If you read the press releases from when they started building nukes they promised that electricity would be so cheap they might just get rid of meters. That hasn't quite worked out. Turns out they were right about nukes being cleaner than coal, but try to tell that to people who live near Fukushima.
I usually add a definition of "TLA" just to see who's paying attention.
This just in: real world a lot harder than school.
Gee, thanks Slashdot!
The reason is pretty obvious. The 25-line program you write for a school assignment is not the same as the 5000 lines you are writing to implement a set of vague business requirements.
Imagine the custody battle after the divorce. Does each parent get the children that look like themself? Do you want to raise a child that is a clone of your EX? Wow.
The real battles will be in trusts and estates.
Listing the meaning of every acronym, no matter how well known, that's my favorite part of document reviews.
Coding standards save the hundreds of hours of somebody else going through your code and re-indenting it all so that you can't diff it any more.
If it was ever previously hibernated, there might still be a recoverable hibernation fle. So even if the computer was powered off there's no guarantee this hack still won't work. The problem is allowing keys to stay in memory and not properly overwrite them when no longer needed.
The best things in life go on sale sooner or later.
