I'm going to have to write that one down.

Is this part of that whole cluster-fuck where my fridge automatically orders milk when I'm low?

No

Thanks

This is just another time he didn't eat the baby. But he's still a Dingo.

The card looks like it will fit in a standard case, but the cooling tower will be the size of a small house.

Just like in our business, uptime is crucially important for these farmers. During the spring planting time and the fall harvest period, if that machine breaks, it needs to be RIGHT NOW. They can't wait a "few days" for the dealership mechanic to visit. And he's busy as all hell fixing our people's shit. This isn't just a bunch hay-seeds saying they want to break their knuckles for the fun of it. This is a very serious situation that can have devastating effects on the bottom line.

Only way this guy is gonna see his shit again is with a time machine. Sorry bro.

Uncle Al says "Save early, save often".

I suspect they are just formalizing the already standard practices.

The crash, according to the police report, occurred when Scaglione, 77, was driving east on the Pennsylvania Turnpike when the SUV hit a guard rail on the right side of the road. It then crossed over the eastbound lanes and hit a concrete median. After hitting the median, the vehicle rolled onto its roof and landed in the middle of the roadway.

If the Tesla "Autopilot" was on, I doubt the car would have hit a guard rail.

I could use this a lot. I watch Netflix sometimes when camping using my phone as a hot spot. Gotta watch the data real close. If I could d/l the content I want to watch, say Marco Polo Season 2 like last weekend, I would consume more Netflix content.

But if has to be done correctly. It would have to allow playback on a device that is different from the device that d/l the content.

The IoT is going to make Sky Net look harmless.

Ok, I read TFA, sue me. Sounds like the bot is just looking for technicalities that will void the ticket. Fair enough.Have you ever heard of a corporation that avoided some tax based on a technicality? I could think of a few.

Better yet. Ever have a cop give you a ticket based on a technicality? I have.

Technicalities are not reserved for use by only one side. They are fair game to all. Seems to me that this one is just making these technicalities available to all. Fair enough.

This should be called a feature. Netflix advertises itself as a streaming service. Amazon Prime claims that you can "own" the movie. Problem is Prime is still just a streaming service. It's false advertising and the reason I don't use Prime for movies. If I "buy" a movie, I expect to be able to d/l to a portable drive so I can watch it when I don't have a data connection. If I subscribe to streaming service, I won't have that expecation.

In the early 1980's one of my neighbors, a Honeywell employee, warned me that people could tell what I was printing out on my daisy-wheel printer just by listening through my open window. Apparently, each character of the Diablo 630 printer made a unique noise when struck.

As I was only printing teaching instructions for using the accounting software I trained users on, I thanked him kindly for the warning and carried on.

When people ask me why I put making tape over my camera lens, I reply "Because I'm smarter than you."

Yeah, I'm an asshole.

I've been to Perm. Not a pretty place. This robot had good sense to attempt to leave. It was probably on it's way to the airport a few miles outside of town. Headed to Moscow and civilization no doubt.
