Yeah, it would be physically impossible for NYC to survive if it wasn't for skilled truck drivers bringing in loads of food every day via big rigs, there's not enough rail capacity to haul it all in and obviously no room to add more.

Wait, you can buy a six figure truck, but $300 is too much to spend to have appropriate mapping?!? That's a complete BS excuse. Heck, I imagine one fine for having a truck on a route that doesn't allow them is enough to pay for the unit. Also I bet the fuel price search could save more in a month than the unit costs.

The request for right turn optimized routes seems reasonable, but the truck route seems stupid to me. If you're operating a large truck you should be using truck optimized commercial software, not freaking Google Maps. There are all sorts of things like bridge height, earlier lane alignment alerts (it takes a LOT longer to get an opening big enough for a big rig), hazmat restrictions, etc that the commercial packages take into account that google maps is unlikely to ever add so giving a truck route option seems like it would give drivers a false sense that google maps is an acceptable alternative to what they should really be using.

As opposed to a manned unmanned aerial vehicle?

Ok, then manslaughter or negligent homicide depending on the jurisdiction. You're still putting peoples lives is serious danger through your stupidity and if you're in the least bit intelligent and paying attention to your surroundings doing it knowingly.

You've mellowed but you think someone should forfeit 10 years of their life for essentially being an immature teenaged brat? That's roughly the amount of time you can expect to spend in prison for murder in Finland.

Well, it IS attempted homicide to call in a high pressure situation where even Canadian police officers will be armed and filled with adrenalin. You have to remember that we have situations like Tamir Rice where a 12 year old boy was fatally shot because someone called in a report of someone with a gun in a park and the dispatcher failed to pass on the fact that the called believed it might be a toy.

They've already announced they want to add SSH/SCP to Windows Server 10/2016.

Well considering the numbers the GP post quoted were the DJIA composite I think pointing out that their P/E ratio is in line with historical norms despite being up 600% in 25 years is fine in assessing whether there is some huge bubble in that number.

If you want to look at the broader market the NYSE composite index has a P/E of 21.1 which is a bit over the 18-20 range that most risk averse investors would be looking for, potentially pointing to the need for a correction, but again hardly pointing to some huge speculative bubble that is going to wreck the economy.

The DOW Industrials are at a P/E of 16.2, historical averages since the 1880's is 16.6, there's no huge bubble or crash coming unless it's an international contagion from Greece or China that halts world economic progress.

Lately? If you believe this is a new phenomenon I have some tulip bulbs I'd like to sell you.

What the title says.

Agreed on the phones, 2mm thinner does nothing for me, but 2x more battery would change the way I use the phone. However since I started carrying a tablet as my primary remote work machine I have to disagree on that, saving a pound means I'm that much more likely to actually carry it with me.

I look younger than my age and smoked until I was 45, partied my ass off in the 20s (award winning partying...), sleep 4 hours a night most of the time. I don't doubt that these things can affect how old you look, but they aren't the defining things. Like with most things, genetics is probably the key.

Closer to 40 households, UK electricity consumption per household was 4,648KWhr/year in 2010 which comes out to .53KWhr/hour.

51% of the US population lives in the counties on the coasts, if you extend it to within 100 miles of the coast it's over 66%, population density near wave power is not going to be a limiting factor for effectiveness.
