Right, but they belong in the station, not on the train. The train's doors should be physically incapable of opening why the train is in motion, which would solve that particular problem.

Cutting the station staff is a bad idea, mmkay?

Up until the point where a bigger brake won't help, you can solve this problem completely with bigger brakes, which provide consistency. Well, it works for everything but trains, so I don't see why not trains too.

That is a separate complaint, an emdash was absolutely the wrong punctuation to use there. If they have to terminate plans and cannot change them by adding onto them, which I doubt, then that complaint is valid. Complaining that plans are shut down because they don't provide comprehensive medical coverage is a separate complaint, and something of a bullshit one as well. Supposedly post-menopausal women have given birth before.

So because you've chosen to live where your meager skills won't permit you to make a good living, you're complaining? how's about you go someplace where you can get paid? You're whining about how your state handled obamacare, but that's your state. If it didn't come out the way you wanted, you share the blame. Next time, involve yourself in the politics. Now, everything is over for you but the weeping.

Bull shit. ERs turn away emergency patients all the time, then they drive them from hospital to hospital until they die. Since I live in bumfuck, if that happens here, I'll almost certainly be dead.

My hardware worked okay with their 4.3 release (ASUS EEE 701 4G here) but went into bootloop with 4.4-rc1. The 4.3 release was shit, mind you, but it did boot. You just had to do shit like hit the power button to wake up the lock screen. 4.0.something was the last Android-x86 release I tried which didn't asplode constantly once I got it working.

I'll keep trying every new release, but so far the only usable thing they've kicked out was obsoleted almost immediately.

It was explicit in the summary that the account was active and that was part of the decision. As was that the ex was hiding by not leaving a forwarding address to be traditionally served.

Today facebook can be more reliable than physical mail. Plenty of people move, after all, more than those that simply abandon their facebook accounts. I think, at least.

I'm picturing it like driving a car designed for power steering and brakes, with both out. Its even harder than for a car designed without those features to begin with because the car without was designed to work well woithout the systwm. With it they only expect it to be operated that way in an emergency, thus 'close enough' is seen as acceptable.

As MightyYar said, that's going by 30 year old technology for the train automation. Also very few people think that self-driving cars are ready today, more like 5-10 years in the future, minimum.

The article itself lists subsidized prices for the smart phones, which is why he's quoting $649 for a 16GB module, and I pulled $199 from the article.

I haven't looked at that teardown, but I'm willing to bet that there's a lot FEWER chips because there's more integration within them, not to mention the engineering to fit that many into such a tight space. Mounting chips on BOTH sides of the motherboard? That's not normally seen in laptops or desktops.

Anyways - from a quick count I got 18 chips in an iphone 6.

In my laptop the RAM alone is 16 chips. Yes, it's a desktop replacement laptop.

I think it might be the case of 'normal user' vs 'power user' in deciding to only offer 16GB and 64GB phones. You have 'most' people who are like Sarten-X and 16GB is 'plenty'.

Then there's power users like you who will use more than the base amount. Now considering this population of people who want more local storage, how many are going to be satisfied with a 32GB model if a 64GB version is being offered for 'only' $50* more? After all, you already 'know' that you're going to bust 16GB, which means your phone will be half full.

It's entirely possible that Apple noticed a 'hockey stick' effect in it's sales - lots and lots and lots of 16GB models, lots of 64GB models, but the 32GB model was selling the least. So why have it? Odds are the 32GB users will grumble a bit and buy the 64GB model anyways.

*It seems like it'd be pretty standard: $199 for 16GB, $249 for 32GB, $299@64.

Sure. So now I get an additional log daemon which doesn't feed logs back upstream. Explain how this is simplifying my system.

They claim they're moving things, not removing them. If done well this will help KDE immensely because current prefs dialogs treat trivial and significant settings as equally important by barfing them all up together into a big dialog.

Odd, so does a syslog. And you can still use tools to read it. Indexed files could be built from it if you had that much logging done. And since systemd has no option to output the ascii log in realtime, you have to use the tools. If you want to use the body of existing tools which do things with normal log files, you'll now need a FUSE filesystem to treat the binary logs like real logs, or you'll simply be out of date as you read the ascii logs from journald.
