Yes, because global warming isn't at all a public health issue.

It is very much a cost issue, although a small one in terms of the overall price of the house. However, money that goes into 2x6 vs 2x4 studs, drywall, doors, insulation, windows comes out of the overall budget. People shop by price because

Not really. I had several HP Kayak workstations; they were rock solid and built like tanks. A bunch of our servers were HP, and they were also quite solid. This was in the early 2000's, though. I haven't seen a decent HP product i

If you seek to design for monetization over fun, it's no wonder that you'd wind up with neither and have no players, too. I wouldn't be surprised to see most games settle on $5 with a big NOIAP being the primary selling point

Their products haven't been system hogs for a long time now. I used Norton AV on a fairly reedy dual core Celeron (1.8 GHz)with a platter drive and it only slowed that thing down when it was running a scheduled scan.

That's not the point. The point is that MS defaulted to using your bandwidth to send update data to other users over the internet P2P style. If MS were benevolent, they would have made this an opt in feature, not the default behavior.

Yes, same test, but this video doesn't demonstrate how far the tire and wheel went after it deflected off of the full canopy.

FIA conducted tests on cockpit canopies several years ago. They fired a tire and wheel at it, which deflected off the canopy and into the air. It kept going, and going, and going. It was an alarming test. The last thing you want to do is la

My girlfriend wear heels fairly often; frequently enough to make me ask about the comfort of them since she never complains about them, and she's no glutton for punishment. I cannot remember the specific details, or even pointedly vagu

The 1.2 GHz Core M has a maximum frequency of 2.9 GHz with turbo boost. The 1.1 GHz model will spool up to 2.6 GHz. Further, both processors are dual cores with hyperthreading. It'll be about 5% less performant than the previous Macboo

He's a cross-eyed lunatic. There's no conspiracy on the part of Russia involving the disappearance of this aircraft. People had a rough idea where Air France Flight 447 was when it went down, and it still took them two years to fi

I agree that the article is dumb. Apple sells two Ipads a second every second of every day of the year, which tells me a lot of people know exactly what an iPad is good for.

Engineering trickle down from F1 doesn't happen anymore. It does if you buy a McLaren or Ferrari road car, but there's practically zilch for anything else that's both common and affordable. The closest thing you will get to F

Actually, there's very little competition between engine manufacturers. Engine development is frozen from the start of the season. This year, Mercedes got the engine very right, and Renault much less so. Ferrari have gotten it all wron

Popularity, longevity of service of the vehicle, and reasonably priced genuine replacement parts all helped to create a market for stolen cars and the parts they provided.

Really, there aren't that many ways to gain access. Two primary and likely methods: 1) Weak passcode. 2) Security exploit in DSM. The fixes are easy; better passcode, and turn off remote access to the device until whatever flaw(s) can

Former LEO here. I wore it in mild weather (80F), and it wasn't a bother. Hot, but not uncomfortably so. Our portable offices where air conditioned, so this helped quite a lot. Traffic related accidents are more dangerous overall than
