Surely you know that gravitational force is indistinguishable from acceleration and the idea of 'down' sensed by any mass inside the plane is the vector sum of both.
The people "you" elected and the people they appointed are all doing their jobs and everything is going to be Oh Kay™ ...ever since I was too young to vote. Now I'm a little unhappy about the Hanford Site and about…

Referring to the article in [0], facts are not copyrightable. If you're going to write some code, then you usually choose to base your work on a particular language, which means you copy a lot of the design decisions…
MetroPCS (prepaid MVNO now something like a subsidiary of TMo) required the 8-digit PIN on the account in order to change IMEIs. A bot would take down all the info, then if/when it was to a phone you'd never used on…
Have you ever remembered something that you left in a home directory on someone else's server but only after you no longer had access to it? It wasn't sensitive but then, it wasn't something you'd leave in a public…
Violent is the point-- shutdown might be prohibitively slow. Or it'll get stuck waiting to umount a network share. Or maybe, you want the DRAMs to go dark and start losing ASAP, I don't know. If you must, simply precede…
I apologize. Obvious sarcasm blew right over my head and I need to hurry up and stop pretending. I feel like my effective IQ right now is between 90 and 100 at best. The supposed reasons for that are all wrapped up in…
Depends on the person (and their sense of humor<->horror).
I can't be sure. When I say 'combine them all offline', I mean using something like [1] which refuses to do anything for me because the Waterfox database version is a rather old Firefox version, and that seems to expect…
I have this problem. Some bits of history are gone except from old backups of profile directories and profiles where I've already set places.history.expiration.max_pages to some absurdly high number. I need to do a…

It was probably 5 seconds, to maximize conversion. Thankfully, I haven't had to think about it for 10+ years.
I'm sure many others' experiences are great. The point was that from what I've heard, such an opportunity exists mainly for people who are not me.
Canada very likely disagrees on this being a good idea in many individual cases, such as mine...

I advised a friend to ditch the JS-powered pop-out social media icons which were hovering almost out of sight over on the right. They said quite flatly, "nope, that's staying". That was probably ten years ago. There is…
I hear that their more satisfied customers cheerfully instruct the others to adjust their expectations and habits and to buy the insurance.

Yeah, that expired proper prescription wasn't for toric lenses like I (supposedly) had decades ago. That first time they didn't even tell me the lenses had to be inserted at some correct orientation, and I don't…
It's funny how lens.com requires a scan of a valid prescription and will not fill it after it expires-- stating something about a law. They even send email recommending that you stock up before it does. So I bought 2+…
I'm not sure if the argument you heard before is the same, but I'll try to clarify my angle. For me, religion would be defined as something like "what any number of people generally do and expect themselves and each…
I hadn't heard of that, but having daydreamed about "just a huge array of LEDs on a single die", I hope it turns out.
I expect it would be on par with CRT tech in both respects, just for also having electron-excited phosphors. It seems OLED + everything ultimately competes with CRT for contrast/color/speed-- rather like programming…
