Those bridges are far nicer than I would have imagined.

Some believe that the fundamental reason for Russia’s involvement in the region is oil and natural gas. Basically, Russia is concerned that Europe will no longer be reliant on them and Turkey is defintely a player in all that.

Sounds like you’re making a bunch of baseless assumptions. Windows 10 has a compatibility mode just like prior versions of Windows. And for the really old stuff, namely DOS games, you’ve always got emulators like DOSbox.

I don’t think we need to look as far as tribes in Africa to find that this is true. After a day of laboring in the fields, my grandfather would then collect resin from trees until well after dark; sometimes returning home after 10pm. And he worked 6 days a week, sometimes Sunday if something urgent came up.

Isn’t this what often happens whenever Barcelona or Real Madrid play other teams in their league?

You don’t know what their politics are on an individual level but dismissing a huge swath of the American population merely because you don’t agree with them on some of issues. But rest assured, they’re likely equally dismissive of your views. And this right here is the fundamental problem with politics in America.

I wonder if Apple has tweaked the sensitivity on that piece of shit Magic Mouse because every other one I’ve ever used registers every little unwanted movement. Even with sensitivity settings turned all the way down. Well, using the pathetically few settings OSX offers.

No offense meant because I realize that a lot of people share the same mindset as your wife. Reading this, however, makes me grateful that my wife is proud of her lowly little Nissan Cube. We have a couple of acquantances who perceive cars as status symbols and it is obnoxious.

In most of the world you can buy many cars completely stripped of options. Thanks, in big part to dealers, that will never happen in America. I expect the US-bound version, if we get one, will be loaded up with over-sized wheels, an infotainment center and whatever other crap they can fit in there to bring the price…

That’s not much worse than my A3. In the winter, on back roads with occasional traffic bottlenecks I average roughly 22mpg. That’s roughly, maybe slightly better, than what I was getting with my old 2.2 liter 200hp Honda Prelude. On the flipside, at a consistent 60mph I can easily average 32mpg.

I don’t know to what extent Apple designs them, if they just provide a detailed set of requirements or if they do some initial design. In any case, companies like TSMC are responsible for a significant portion of the work.

I hope some of those cool minifigs will be available in smaller sets because these two look awfully expensive.

It’s not difficult to imagine what jobs will become automated over the coming decades; that being pretty much everything in manufacturing and the service industry. Sure, a handful of people will still be employed to ensure smooth operation and make repairs, but that won’t be nearly enough to ensure widespread…

The besides a few flaws, first generation Band was excellent. It was far more comfortable than many in the tech press claimed. It wasn’t ideal; I always felt its presence, but after that first day of adjustment I never found it to be uncomfortable. Having the display on the inside of the wrist, the way Microsoft…

I think it’s an artifact of these photos because everywhere else the Surface Book seems to be roughly the same color as a MacBook.

I’m looking forward to that 950; it’s about time there’s a proper flagship from Microsoft. By November I’ll have had my Lumia 920 exactly 3 years and in the interim there hasn’t been a real flagship offered, at least in the US. Europe got the 930 over a year ago.

Operating costs aren’t “relatively low” when a drug is in clinical trials. All those salaried employees are still employed by the drug company. So really, expenses haven’t changed at all from when the research and development phase.

Doesn’t Solarcity lease solar panels? So they get the tax credit from the federal government instead of the homeowner. But the homeowner does get saddled with monthly payments for the rest of their lives. And worse, no one will ever want to buy this house because they don’t want to be stuck with a lease on potentially…

This video portrays an overly simplistic view of things. Helicopter parents is a big problem in Japan. There have been numerous cases of parents pushing to get a teacher fired because they didn’t agree with some nonsense or other. Kids taking public transportation is a fact of life in many big cities. I’ve seen fairly…

Sounds incredible when he gets on it and like someone’s brewing coffee when he doesn’t.
