Except that there is more then enough room for the bike to pass. Knowing these kinds of streets, they are about 2.5 car wide. You can also see that the driver stops as soon as he notices that he bike isn't noticing the car and moving properly to the side of the road, instead of trying to make a full pass.

Actually, it's even easier then that. You can create a firearm that has less chance of exploding in your hands with a few bits and pieces from the hardware store. It's also quicker, and cheaper. So if you want a firearm, printing is the worst of all your options. It's just attention whoring.

And still, you need to get the ammo from somewhere.

Unmodifiable early boot rom is very common. The Wii also had it. The Wii also had a bug in it that they fixed in a later hardware version. See http://wiibrew.org/wiki/BootMi...

The reason for it not being EEPROM is simple. They don't want anyone to modify it, as it's the start of the secure boot process. Allowing modifications on it would defeat the goal of this ROM.

As someone who was active in the homebrew Wii scene. Let me tell you this. The nr 1 use of homebrew on the Wii was piracy. The nr 2 use was emulators, which is usually a different form of piracy.
Even if this wasn't the intention of the people who opened it up. It's the reality. Other homebrew applications where much less used. The video player saw some use, but performance wise wasn't great. Fully custom applications/games, very few actual users.

If you go fast enough. Yes.

I don't know for the US. But speed cameras in The Netherlands are usually certified up to 250km/h, but some are 350km/h now. If you go over that, the camera is not allowed to give you a ticket as it is not certified at those speeds.

But, if you go over 250 at most of our speed camera locations, you have other problems that involve death.

I've made this mistake, deleted all attachments on a life system once.

After this, I made all the prompts for critical servers a different color:
export PS1='\e[41m\u@\h:\w\$\e[49m'

Makerbot pushed too soon and too hard. Their machines where not up to the expectations set by marketing.

However, wood? That was years ago. We've progressed a lot. I'm not saying it's "one click and 100% reliability". But it's not as error prone as it was 3 years ago.

I work for Ultimaker, and the Ultimaker 2+ (while a bit older) is still selling very strong due it's reliability. Prototyping, showcase models and jig&fixtures are the main markets where we see sales.

I work at R&D, we have CNC machines next to our fleet of 3D printers to prototype as well, but they require a lot more expert knowledge, we have a full time operator on that. Unlike the 3D printers, that are even used by our reception desk, provide little to no noise, and no dust.

I think you missed my point. I did that, and all the other hoops you need to go trough when updates fail. It's the frequency and the amount of different hoops I had to jump trough that caused me to say "screw this".

Well, I never cared too much about those. But I did disable all updates about a month ago on my Windows7 and my GF Windows10 laptops. Why? They repeatedly fail to installed. Causing a loop of "using 100% CPU for about an hour, reboot, fail to install, reboot to roll back, and then using 100% CPU again the next day trying to install the update again."

After repeatedly fixing those updates, I gave up and just disabled all updates. (which was easy on Windows 7 and a pain in the ass on Windows 10)

The label comes from the article, it is even in the article headline.

It's fine. But it's not that there is nothing wrong with.

Simple example. Arrays start at 0, or 1, depending on where you found it.

You do know that every single attempted suicide survivor regrets his/her decision?

Or, if you do not like the human angle, pick one:
a) Yes, society invested in this person, and you want the highest return on investment.
b) Do not kill yourself by causing a shitload of damage to society. The train conductor now has been traumatized. And the train is delayed. Both causing economic damage to society.

No, you are not free to do whatever the fuck you want. Because a lot of things you do influence other people as well. You litter? That means someone needs to clean that up, and we all need to pay for that someone. And thus, you should not litter.

Depends, if it keeps working the same, if it keeps doing the same, if nothing else changes but the owner. I'm fine.

If not, we would pirate the shit out everything again, just like we did in the 90s and 00s

I think the implementation of said DRM has much more to do with it then the actual DRM.

My steam library has 208 games. It's easy, it's cheap, it's quick, and it never caused problems.

Our (shared with my girlfriend) e-reader has no bought e-books anymore. Why?
First off, it's expensive. My girlfriend goes trough about 2 books a week, as ebooks costs just as much as a paperback, that's about 20 euro a week. For some digital copies of something that gives a few hours of medium entertainment. (These are not top notch books, it's easy to read stuff)
It's also clumsy, buying a book is more effort then torrenting it. You still need to transfer it, you have different DRM schemes to deal with.
Our local library does offer an assortment of ebooks for rent. Great idea, horrible implementation, as it requires tons of effort to use. Seach->select->download->load in different application->store it there in a library->convert->transfer resulting file->hope everything went properly->have your PC invaded by the application that manages the rental library. (From Sony, no surprises there)
Reports every once in a while that ebooks go "poof".

Compare that to steam, where I can buy in 2 clicks, I get to use the game everywhere, with easy downloads and no hassle. (And recently, even easy refunds if the game fails to work)
