Gee, when you say it that way it almost sounds like a threat...

A "Yankee" means anybody from a place north of the Mason-Dixon Line and south of Canada (or sometimes, to ignorant foreigners, it's a slang term for "American").
No, he's referencing the idea that authorities would rather shoot the plane down than let it crash into something important.
No, the center of gravity isn't high enough that it would lead to a roll. A slide or a spin is more likely.
Lifting the inside rear tire is normal behavior for a small FWD car... but under racing conditions, not going around a freeway on-ramp!
It also means that, instead of just being charged with "distracted driving," the perp can be charged with "texting while driving" and "driving erratically" and "distracted driving," which adds up to triple penalty (including jail time!) unless he gives up his right to trial and allows himself to be railroaded into a "plea deal."
I can surf and ski in the same day too.
... My $130K/yr in Atlanta goes a long way.
You can surf and (snow) ski on the same day where near Atlanta?
Do you have an example?
To my naive understanding, the output of any encryption should appear random. Then, encrypting anything random should also be random -- the only effective difference should be that you now need (some mathematical function of) both keys to decrypt it.
I could accept that the above could be wrong, but I'd love for you to explain why it's wrong.
He could crash the Millennium Falcon, let people teleport from Coruscant to Tattooine, and make Jedis be able to bring people back from the dead (and retcon it so that they could always have done it, making Vader's origins make even less sense).
Then you have Khan. Perfectly good movie. And you had nerds raging because herpaderpawhiteguynamedKhanNoonienSingh.
No, we had nerds raging because the damn thing had plot holes big enough to drive a fucking starship through (except you don't NEED to drive a starship anymore because we can just BEAM TO GODDAMN Q'ONOS now...)!
If Dish continues to exist, they will continue to need people to install the dishes -- whether they're outside contractors or Dish employees. Either way, you could still continue installing dishes.
If Dish went out of business (and DirecTV's sales didn't increase to take up the slack) and demand for satellite installations decreased to the point where your company went out of business, well, that's the owner's fault for not diversifying.
Regardless, concern for your well-being as a a Dish contractor is not a reason to disregard Dish's law-breaking!
AMD64 would never have reached the market unless Microsoft had ported Windows to run on it.
I don't believe that. Since x86-64 is backwards-compatible to 32-bit OSs, It would have been just fine for AMD to release it running 32-bit Windows. It was still as faster processor, after all, whether it was running in 64-bit mode or not.
Then customer demand would have forced Microsoft to provide x86-64 support, Intel's wishes be damned.
In fact, the way I remember it, that's pretty much what happened. The first x86-64 chips came out in 2003, but Windows XP Pro 64-bit didn't come out until 2005. Even then, and most desktop users with 64-bit CPUs continued using 32-bit XP and didn't switch to 64-bit Windows until Vista (2007) or even 7 (2009). (I distinctly remember dual-booting 64-bit Linux and 32-bit WinXP for several years...)
You could always use several layers of encryption, written by different groups (e.g. a GPG'd file inside a Truecrypt container, stored on a Bitlocker volume inside a Windows virtual machine run on a Linux computer with encfs).
And it gets even better, because if you end up choosing the best shitty compromise that actually kind of works, you flag yourself for extra scrutiny because you are using an effective solution. FML.
This part I have no solution for. : (
Enforcing that got defunded because big government is too busy going after potheads.
It means you can use the same instrument cluster for the auto and manual versions of the car, saving costs.
However, the '70s and '80s with the purring V8s are gone, and the vehicles that will be the norm will either be hybrids, diesels, or electric cars.
I love the sound a VW small-car diesel engine makes, especially when it's got a modded exhaust. First of all, it sounds like your Beetle has delusions of being a big truck, which is just funny. Second, when you're accelerating quickly the turbo whine makes it sound like it has delusions of being a jet!
Variables don't; constants aren't.
