"...there is no suggestion anyone was to blame for Walker's crash..." unless you follow that link which says that the police suspect that speed was involved. No question that anyone not in the car was to blame is a different sentence indeed. Looking at the pictures of the scene its hard to imagine that they were driving anywhere close to the 45mph speed limit.
And later they estimate the car was going 40-45mph. http://www.nbcnews.com/entertainment/paul-walker-was-real-hero-daughter-heart-soul-his-charity-2D11683842
How about waiting until the investigation is complete before jumping to conclusions? The police comment on random shit just to comment in cases like these. For some reason nobody considers "I have no idea, we're still investigating" an appropriate answer.
Is there a limit at 7? Seems like there are a lot of missing options. I think everybody just chose pinball because that's the 2nd best option to their favorite game that is missing. I would've chosen Spy Hunter, Pole Position, or the full motion Afterburner cabinet. Never heard of that Kung Fu game though, even after looking it up.
The arcade I went to the most also had a go kart track though, so that's the real winner.
Yes, soya and lentils. I don't think you'll find the the original story on IMDB.
Well, if it's good enough for Solid Snake, then it can't be too bad. Way better than eating snakes if I remember right.
Google uses consumer grade drives. From the google study:
The data in this study are collected from a large number of disk drives, deployed in several types of systems across all of Google’s services. More than one hundred thousand disk drives were used for all the results presented here. The disks are a combination of serial and parallel ATA consumer-grade hard disk drives, ranging in speed from 5400 to 7200 rpm, and in size from 80 to 400 GB.
You utterly misunderstand what this website does. You punch in your zip code and age, it spits back plans and rack-rate premiums. That's it. That's the part of healthcare.gov that actually works, and has since they rolled out the feature a few days after launch.
...also, the premiums it returns are different from what healthcare.gov returns.
Even though this site takes only the easiest task of healthcare.gov, which completely works from healthcare.gov BTW...the "how much are these plans" thing is not what's broken, but the results are wrong. From health sherpa, the cost of a humana bronze plan is 194.72, but from healthcare.gov it is 166.99.
Since the price is relatively close, I guess this site does *something*, but it looks like it is not accurate, in which case it's kinda useless.
Can an editor change the title to "How 3 Young Coders Built a Broken healthcare.gov Portal"?
Turning GPS service "off" is just a software command that looks nice, do you really think you can disable it, short of ripping the GPS chip out of the phone?
If this is a concern of yours, don't have a cell phone, that is, frankly, your only real option. Everything else is just wishful thinking.
So, put the tinfoil away and prove it. Location data of some sort is "always on" for e911, but beyond that you will need to show some proof that applications can access it when you have GPS specifically disabled for them.
"Ever seen a remote desktop tool that's fast/efficient enough to play back video?"
Yeah, NX. Been using it for awhile.
...that guy that drives companies into ground.
Elop? Nokia was already in a nosedive when he started. If anything, he just guided them to a softer crash into a fluffy Microsoft pillow. Before that, the article says he ran MS's business software unit, which is one of the massively profitable divisions. Microsoft doesn't really need a "turnaround", just a focusing of efforts.
The burning of Guys atop bonfires is a celebration that the plot failed. The setting off lots of explosives is a celebration of the fact that it could have succeeded and a reminder to our elected officials not to be too complacent. Most of us just watch the fireworks...
Do the elected officials realize this?

I believe it, but I bet it would be pretty close. Especially since the Tesla is way more aerodynamic than most saloons. At those speeds air resistance will be a major factor.
I don't have exact numbers for speeds and everything, but a A6 TDI can make it from Magdeburg to Dusseldorf with the accelerator to the firewall at every chance on 1 tank. That's 260 miles, and I'm pretty sure the tank was not empty by Dusseldorf. Top speed was a traffic limited 164 MPH. I think our average MPG was somewhere in the teens. I don't see a Tesla being able to come close to that, but it's also not what the Tesla was designed for and almost exactly what an A6 TDI is designed for.
Just about every sound card ( and everything else ) in the last ten years had been made in a factory in China. What is to stop the PLA from slipping just this kind of malware into a sound card chip? Maybe they can even activate and update using sounds from a television.
Phone Losers of America? If that is the case, then this is perhaps their greatest prank to date!
...with the beyerdynamic earpads. Does an exceptional job and creating a cone of silence. My office is a half-height cube farm and it feels like a share a larger office-space with kindergarteners. The slightest bit of external stimulus creates a positive feeback loop of jack-assery, and in the worst cases there are two different threads of jack-assery to my right and left.
As a concrete example, the other day was a convo-argument about a guy selling monkeys out of a van which involved at least 8 of my co-workers and went on for a good 20 minutes. Sometimes the headphones with music cranked can barely dampen the chaotic swirls of idiocy floating through the air.
All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.
