The biggest productivity enhancer is more resolution, because even today fucking NOBODY gets multi-monitor working right. Not nVidia, not AMD, not Microsoft, not Apple, and not Linux.
Last PROPERLY working multi-monitor setup was on SGI hardware.
LOL, nope. Apple had multi-monitor systems in the 80s and they worked just fine.
The problem is this isn't ridesharing, neither carpooling.
Correct. These are unlicensed jitney cabs, which are illegal in most jurisdictions for a pretty damn good number of reasons. You cite most of them in the rest of your post.
Uber has its bad points but what it does is empower citizens to do things that will make them some extra money, If you are willing to drive people after work then go ahead, if you want to make a career out of it that is good too.
LMAO. No one will ever make a career out of driving for Uber, even full time. Most cabbies don't make a lot per shift either, and Uber wants to try to be cheaper than a hailed cab? Won't ever happen.
There is also similar sites where you can rent your home. The cities are cracking down on this because it could be considered hotelling.
That's because it is hotelling. A lot of AirBNB seems to be people renting out apartments they don't own in contravention of local health and safety codes. Those codes are there for a reason. The rest are renting out their own condos illegally and in contravention to the terms of the condo corporation they agreed to & signed when they bought the place.
That is ride sharing. Uber, Lyft, and the others are arranging drivers for hire. Just pointing out the obvious here.
Correct. Uber is, in most jurisdictions, an unlicensed jitney cab. And there's a reason they were outlawed in most places decades ago.
LeMay and McNamera were convinced they'd be tried & found guilty for war crimes if the US hadn't forced Japan to surrender.
and drink a huge amount of water: i get through about a litre an hour. this is *important* because otherwise i find i really really suffer the next day (which shows in my inability to do the yoga, which is precisely why i do it, to check that my body's not full of toxins. as far as yoga's concerned: spirituality be buggered, i want to know if my body's ok!!)
A liter of water an hour is at the far end of overkill. Tour de France riders go through an average of 7 per day, and they're doing high range cardio.
As for the "toxins" comment, just LMAO.
I think the problem here is the dad's attitude, not the daughter's.
100% right. Maybe she wants to be an artist and have nothing to do with computers or science?
Around 2000? Try 1980.
Make the ballots out of hemp, problem solved.
No - it's not even a question. Bury the lines and you will remove a large number of causes for power outages.
Nope. Lived in a subdivision in the 80s with all buried lines. Power always went out during big summer rain storms. You're not going to find magical waterproof cunduit anywhere that doesn't cost an outrageous sum.
unlocking car boots, setting off windscreen wipers, locking brakes, and cutting the engine.
If a hacker can do all that, why can't the car itself open the windows slightly if the temperature inside gets high and there is no rain outside? All the hardware is already there — the sensors know both the inside temperature and whether anything is hitting the windshield (so wipers can turn automatically in rain).
It'd be way safer to get a fan going to circulate the air than to crack the windows open. You really want car makers to open themselves up to having cars stolen easier?
Most cars cost multiple thousands of dollars
Yes, but we can schedule a work stoppage around that time.
