Are the French legal guidelines broader than the US legal guidelines. Broader than what the NSA and CIA are known to do? Narrower than what the French are known to do?
Thanks to Snowden we know the US agencies have exceeded their legal boundaries (or at the very least operated in secret to avoid any legal or constitutional challenge.) What is the situation in France WRT their intelligence agencies and their laws.
Several weeks ago I was driving from Michigan to Indiana on an interstate highway. Ordinarily my carrier (Verizon) has good coverage along interstate highways and I had a strong signal but was unable to place a call. I tried several times and nothing happened after I dialed the number and pressed the call button until the phone reported something like "unable to place the call - try again later." I wonder if the ISP was monitoring cell phones in the area or if Verizon's equipment was just fubar.
I was with you until the last paragraph. Many production cars will transition to oversteer when the throttle is abruptly closed by an inexperienced driver. By inexperienced driver I mean anyone without performance driving training. They go into a curve a little too hot and the car starts to understeer. They turn the wheel and the car continues to plow on. They turn the wheel more and lift off the throttle. The weight transfers to the front, the already turned front wheels bite and snap the car deep into the corner.
Watch for skid marks on big sweepers. They usually go toward the inside of the curve, illustrating this point.
These are the same people who got caught falsifying data to meet their own political agenda. They keep 'creating' data from different sources. They may be right in some capacity but they've lied too many times be believable. And I'm still waiting for all the dire predictions from the 80's and 90's I grew up with happening.
Did you even read that Wikipedia article? Here's a quote: "Eight committees investigated the allegations and published reports, finding no evidence of fraud or scientific misconduct"
Thanks for the citation but I suggest that you read it first as it does not support your conclusion.
And slipshod editing.
They invented a wonderful device for people like you, it's called a HORN. You wait 1-2 seconds for them to move,...
Absolutely! But that's a couple seconds to confirm that they're idiots and then a couple seconds for them to respond. If it is a short left turn signal, it may already change to red before the idiot moves out of the way. I doubt that their inattention would be construed as justification for me to urn the red light.
Bravo!
Texting at red lights too often turns into texting at green lights. I really hate sitting through a light cycle because the idiot in front of me hadn't noticed that the light had changed.
Probably none. But I don't think the picture is as dire as you paint it because the change from "driver" cars to driver-less cars isn't going to be instant. It's not like all truckers are gonna lose their jobs tomorrow or next years. It's gonna be a gradual process over the next ten or maybe twenty years.
Problem is that not only drivers are losing jobs to automation. Lots of jobs are affected. That means more people are chasing fewer jobs and that drives pay down. Why do you think income inequality is growing so fast? We are not inventing new jobs as fast as old jobs are going away.
Ummm. No.
Dave Cutler moved from DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) to MSFT to help manage the development of NT which at the time was a derivative of OS/2. At one point it was named NT OS/2. It did not serve MSFT to retain the OS/2 moniker though much of the code lived on. Early NT error messages identified the OS as OS/2. Little or none probably remains today, but that's where NT came from.
In any case, NT and VMS were as similar as apples and oranges.
That's my recollection. Hard to find citations though other than to point out that Dave Cutler was project manager for NT which was well under way on his arrival.
Why on earth would people who eat different foods and have different taste profiles and come from different ethnic heritages be expected to like wines equally.
...
There is a tremendous difference at the lower end because many of the less expensive wines are either
a) Just bad (and just about anyone can tell this)
b) or they are "Thin" (watered down, one note) which anyone can taste pretty quickly and easily in comparison to a good wine.
But there are plenty of wines good enough for 14-18 a bottle.
...
And why give truly great wine to people who can't tell the difference anyway (i.e. most of us).
Raises hand. That would be me. I don't know how to buy wine in the first place except to know that some wines are sweeter than others and there are reds vs. whites and the pink ones that fall in between.
Of course, that means I don't have to spend a lot of money on wine in order to be happy with my purchase. I suppose I do better selecting beer which I consume several times in a month. If this app gives me some way to evaluate wine in the first place it could be a win for me. However I'm a little skeptical that a chemical analysis can characterize the flavor sufficiently to accomplish this goal. The other obstacle to this endeavor is the sheer number of wines tat seem to be available.
There are studies that show "conservatives" here in the USA will buy CFL bulbs on their own (if they think) but as soon as you label them "green" or with other labels and slogans that have been associated as belonging to the enemy tribe, they will fuck themselves just to not have anything to do with the opposing tribe.
Ooh, how I would love to see a citation for that one...
QED
This sounds eerily similar to a line from "Who Killed the Electric Car." It was spoken by a Ford executive and was along the lines of "
To draw out the car analogy to something that makes me sick to the pit of my stomach, imagine, if you will, that your town had to choose a car manufacturer. Once the choice was made, you had the choice to buy that manufacturer's car - or not. No other choice. What would happen to quality vs. price?
Fortunately for us there is choice and auto manufacturers have to meet market demands or face loss of market share or government bailout. Unfortunately for us, we do not have much choice when it comes to cable service.
That looked like one long river of lava!
It would of had it been funnier.
These are cuts in the rate of spending increases! Not budget cuts as we all know them.
This is such bullshit.
Budgets for the last two years are 5.5 billion and for 2013, 5.1 billion. I presume this is before sequestration.
Where's the spending increase?
Where's the bullshit?
If all else fails, lower your standards.
