Die. They would die. I don't know why trained, armed security isn't standard in all large venues these days. Probably money and politics.

What is your point? A lot of things didn't used to exist and yet enough people to survived their non-existence to continue to life of the species. That doesn't mean it is smart to get rid of all those things.

I went somewhere in Brazil where the buses had a turntile inside and second employee to gather tolls. The bus only had to stop long enough for customers to get into the font section of the bus.

Back in college, I ran the command for shits and giggles on a system that we were redoing anyway. I would have been immensely pissed if I found out it bricked the system because some firmware was mounted as writable space.

Wouldn't they need to fix the power storage problem before creating a fully electric truck? A lot of people have trucks for hauling things.

Your household is not a person. Even with an ISP's help, an IP address would only identify who is paying the bill.

I have the money now. I just can't justify spending that much on this kind of device so I can play a limited set of games. Especially since, I don't even know what the experience will be like. Maybe if I could demo it somewhere but I can't. Also, I don't have as much time to play video games as I used to...

And your point is?

I was already ready to purchase one until I saw the price tag. I figured it would be in the $400 range. I just can't justtify spending $600+ on the Rift plus another $300+ on a new graphics card.

What is the point of developing in the browser if you are only going to support one specific version from one specific vendor?

Barring physical damage, I have never heard of a battery suddenly failing. Even if they did, you just have two smaller batteries instead of one bigger one. Ultimately, the goal is not perfect non-failure but rather safe-enough given the benefits as judged by society. Just like cars.

No matter what we do they will fail. However, they can be made to fail safe and hopefully infrequently. For example, drone designs and flight algorithms that ensure a controlled landing in the event of a motor failure.

The doesn't bother me if they don't take parts of the TV show or movie to actively advertise the products.

Except they are. Credit card companies charge merchants fees in order to be part of their network. As long as you are spending with their cards, they are making money by having you as a customer regardless of the fact that you are not allowing your balance to incur interest.

I am curious on how it will work out if he needs to hire some high level executives that would normally make 6 figures or more.
