But, it also says, "The 'encounter program' includes software to prohibit the very type of automated safe mode that New Horizons executed Saturday afternoon."
That implies it did go into a waiting "safe mode" instead of an auto-science mode, for unknown reasons.
Reminds me of my calculus final exam back in the day where my HP calculator started flickering and rebooting 4 minutes before the exam.
I'll tell you the rest after the Pluto encounter...
"Snafu"
Meanwhile, Snap-On, Mac and Matco break less often to begin with. When they do break, the local distributor shows up the same day in their truck with a replacement and you still get the customer out the door by close of business.
All of this, and maybe Apple support too, works really well when you live in the city, near one of their facilities. When you live anywhere else, it all goes to hell. The delivery trucks don't go to most of the shops, so you get stuff from whichever truck actually shows up. And when you need a machine serviced, they expect you to either bring it in, wait, or ship it and wait. It's not just Apple, I don't mean to pick on them alone; my fun stories involve HP... but only because I didn't buy Apple, or Sony, etc etc. (The Sony machines ordered alongside my HP which finally died of nVidia GPU die bonding failure plus HP tech with bad habits died long before my HP did.)
I think it would be wicked cool to build an electric rock crawler. It seems like a natural fit because you get an exquisite level of control over wheel slip, and you also get massive torque from 0. It would be a sort of ultimate stress test for the components, but that could only lead to building better speed controllers... or going broke
Yes, it's called a chastity belt. Old tech.
Maybe they should deploy some of those. It might help with suicide rates being higher than casualty rates.
... a drill sergeant could just push your arm into the correct position and call you a grab-asstic piece of amphibian shit until you get it straight.
Is that what made you the man you are today?
Marksmanship is an area where women tend to do well. They have a lower center of gravity,
not always
However, Apple has one thing at the consumer [1] level... and that is very good CS.
I've heard lots of stories that went both ways there. As someone who has owned a piece of Apple hardware with a known and admitted hardware bug which Apple closed wontfix and told people to buy more hardware to get around the problem, I have my own opinions about the value of Apple support.
For example, MAC and Snap-On tools are more expensive than what comes off the boat to a Harbor Freight store... but the expensive tools tend to be better in the long run since they last longer, and if they do break, there is a no questions asked warranty. Similar with Macs.
Oh, you failed so hard when you tried to make the car analogy... because the hand tools at Harbor Freight have lifetime warranties now, and it's a lot cheaper to get the extended warranty for the other stuff (like scanners etc.) than it is from Snap-On, Mac etc. Now I'm left with the distinct impression that you don't understand cars or computers.
But his name is in the kernel changelog!
On one hand, mentioning that seems arrogant. On the other hand, the most prestigious piece of software in which my name might appear is a drupal module.
Man, what did that kitten do to you? Seriously, it's in the past; just let it go.
Does he think ISIS is going to rethink their beliefs because a Christian from the US thinks they're interpreting the Qur'an wrong?
I think that he, or whoever writes his speeches, thinks that this is an opportunity to get inb4claimsofsharialaw.
I do think there's an outside chance that some people might not join ISIS if they hear a strong voice telling them why it's idiotic. But I think the first reason is the real reason.
Do they have an exoskeleton that prevents rape of one's supposed compatriots?
I note your link says pretty much the same thing.
My link also says that it was just colorado, but is now also nevada
Mac Pros, which run certified Unix (OS X) are possibly the _best_ option for serious professionals.
Who cares whether a Unix is certified? Linux is the big daddy of the server rhythm these days. It's all been over but the tears for Big Iron Unix since you started seeing people consider the GNU toolchain 'indispensable' on it.
There are also a couple other companies making one or two choices in well-built hardware you can install enterprise Linux on, of course.
There's a lot of companies making much more capable hardware these days, particularly in the graphics department, and featuring considerably more expandability. Much of it comes at significantly lower cost, as well, and if you spend more money, you'll know what you got for it in most cases.
In any formula, constants (especially those obtained from handbooks) are to be treated as variables.
