If there's a "pancake face", it's Americans who wear too much makeup, or perhaps Americans who overindulge at IHOP, Bob Evans, and Denny's. And any country is a "gook", as guk is just the Sino-Korean word for a country, akin to Mandarin guó, Sino-Japanese koku, and Vietnamese quô'c.
I know what I would choose: a country where you don't have quota on wired at least.
Which country has that, plus a decent standard of living otherwise, plus practical qualifications for immigration?
It's still a lot more reliable than asking "are you 18?". Sometimes it's wise to accept incremental improvements to avoid the Nirvana fallacy.
unless you are watching video it's almost impossible to hit assuming you spend most of your actual day within reach of WiFi.
And additionally assuming that AdBlock is available for your preferred browser. A growing number of websites use HTML5 video ads on pages that otherwise have only text and static images.
And even the assumption of Wi-Fi availability during the majority of one's web use time doesn't apply to several groups of people. Some of them spend a lot of time riding public transit to and from work or wherever. Others have an employer that doesn't make a Wi-Fi network available for employees to use on breaks, not even just to check weather.gov to see when to jump on a bike and leave without getting caught in a downpour. Still others live in less-populated areas and are stuck with a quota even on their home Internet, especially if it's satellite, fixed cellular (LTE or WiMAX), or DSL in parts of Iowa.
Your CroMo frame held away from the sensor by 700c aluminum wheels can probably trigger it, but not from any distance.
At one problematic intersection, laying the bicycle down on the ground did not trigger it, and I had to readjust the handlebar mirror afterward. Nor could a bicycle and a motorcycle put together trigger it, despite there being a total of four wheels over the loop.
Go over and hit the "walk" button.
This intersection has no walk button. There are plenty of working pelican crossings in Fort Wayne, Indiana, but this isn't one of them. It lacks even the usual zebra stripes.
If you were to dismount, you suddenly become a pedestrian walking a bike.
True, but I was responding to Penguinisto's sarcastic criticism of the strategy of becoming "a pedestrian now".
Even if Australia hasn't implemented Know Your Customer yet, its neighbor New Zealand has.
I mentioned QR code as a well-known application of BCH (aka Reed-Solomon) code.
You paranoiacs still carrying on about secure boot lol?
Point me to a working GNU/Linux live USB image for Surface 2 (not Pro, not 3) and we'll stop carrying on.
With the discontinuation of Windows RT, Microsoft is in effect giving each manufacturer the choice of whether to sell a Windows 10 PC under the old rules for Windows on x86-64, which forbid manufacturers to lock the PC's owner out of the Secure Boot options, or the old Windows RT rules, which require them to do so. Consider this situation: Someone buys a PC. Months later, long after the PC's return policy has expired, he learns about GNU/Linux and wants to try it. So he boots the live CD, only to discover that Secure Boot is blocking it. So he looks for something in the machine's EFI options, only to find that it's not there for that model because the manufacturer chose to apply the RT rules.
sorry, i forgot the source
they can rule against them in an international tribunal
The Philippines' attempt to haul China to an international tribunal is a problem because it is invoking the very compulsory jurisdiction which China has disavowed since 2006. But even if the Philippine attempt to arbitrate fails, any marshaled argument can subsist, and that case may be fielded in other venues. If a military engagement were to ensue, the same case could be brought to the United Nations Security Council -- the principal repository of enforcement powers under the UN system. A state can be found to be in violation of a substantive legal norm even without a coercive or compulsory judgment in a given venue, provided, of course, that there is truth to the argument supporting a violation, and that it is acknowledged by an alternative venue.
While China is disavowing the UN Convention of the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) against the Philippines, it is expressly invoking UNCLOS provisions in its claims against Japan -- so it wants to have its cake and eat it, too. In 2009, China submitted a claim over the Senkaku Islands (which, like Scarborough Shoal and the Spratlys, are believed to be fuel rich) and turned to UNCLOS rules in defining and delineating its continental shelf beyond the 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone, again within the meaning of UNCLOS. There is some international legal doctrine supporting the view that a state's acts in one place can be used as an admission and adversely bind that State in another set of circumstances.
a legal claim against china won't make the han imperialists move, but the ruling will stay dormant
then, after any sort of conflict in the future where china loses, china is going to lose these islands in the peace treaty
this is an interesting, informative, and comprehensive post

So I shoot someone in a video game, and I hear it one second later. Or the video and audio in a movie are out of sync by a second. Is either acceptable, and if not, what's the workaround?
If you're listening to music, and it's got a 1 second buffer, you'll never know.
Unless the pause and rewind buttons start to get laggy.
this can affect perceived responsiveness in interactive applications such as music production and video games.
none of this is important when listening to music or watching a movie. And at 48k sample rate, you aren't talking Telco anyway.
True, music production and video games aren't telco, but they need low latency for the same reason as telco.
