I have an inactive Verizon flip-phone in my hiking gear, just to call 911 in an emergency. My regular cell phone is Sprint, which has much worse coverage away from the cities.
I won against a number of people with exactly the same (move by move) game
No, you didn't - Carlsen didn't just play e5 Nf6 Ng4 Qh4 and Qxh2 (the basic Scholar's Mate from the black side). This game was nine move pairs, and included Gates playing Bd3 with his queen pawn still on d2 (a seriously weak move). I suspect that when Carlsen saw that move he knew he could just march his knight and queen over and checkmate Gates with no particular effort required. I think Carlsen only used about 10 seconds on his clock (of the 30 seconds he got - Gates got two minutes).
that really means you are at least +1SD above average IQ, and quite likely +2SD or +3SD.
What's that in Mean Deviations?
VISA just sent us new cards and cancelled our old ones. They didn't specify exactly why, but I shop at Target.
That email "from Target" might be a phish. Careful...
We eliminated the malware in the access point
Which is completely different than "POS malware" - note he said the access point. I'm still betting this is an inside job, and one of their central billing computers had a little extra code in it that was sending the info across the net to some holding site.
But with nothing to do behind the wheel 99% of the time your not going to be alert. Your going to be super bored. So when your supposed to take over you won't be prepared to do so.
You misspelled "wont".
As for who's responsible when a driverless car crashes it will probably be the same as when a dog kills someone, the owner of the dog is responsible.
Except the victims will also sue the manufacturer of the car, and everybody involved in its creation.
One way or another these changes will effect PEOPLE, and sitting in Arizona hiding behind your AC is only going to last so long before RESOURCES have to be reallocated for another 50-100 years DIFFERENTLY than they are now.
Or, as Zippy would put it:
Boys, you have ALL been selected to LEAVE th' PLANET in 15 minutes!!
The means do not always justify the ends.
Or vice-versa.
Any dumbass can do stuff in a GUI, but real BAMFs rock a terminal.
I've always thought of it as the difference between watching TV and reading a book. Try doing this with a GUI:
less `find . -type f -exec grep -il "useful information" {} \;`
Man will never fly. Space travel is merely a dream. All aspirin is alike.
