>but what does that concern have to do with the risk of introducing genes to grow larger fruits? Off the top of my head, there are several consequences that fall into the realm of possibility. Larger fruits will require more resources fr

The issue is private security can be a large liability, since they do not have the same legal protection as police. At the wages Wal-Mart pays, you would have poor training, and all the police academy dropouts who still want to have some au

I work at a small manufacturing facility, while living in a relatively low COL area. The pay is not exceptional, but enough to clear all expenses, have some fun and save 15%. I am given the choice almost every week (crunch periods and other

A toy typically has a few ways to play associated with it. A cardboard box, on the other hand, now that's where the creative fun begins! If anyone needs a primer, I suggest starting with the existing literature, namely Calvin and Hobbe

While I dislike describing these things ("He's a gun nut! He'll kill us! People like him should be locked up!" are common reactions to simple facts) there are multiple reasons rifles are lumped in. - Any additional regul

This is true for the time being, but there is a small percentage who will switch if the advertising becomes obnoxious past a degree. Several of my non-tech-inclined friends have switched to using only the mobile site (on their own, not from

I'd like to mention News Feed Eradicator here - not only does what its name implies, but it adds a motivational quote in the empty space. The quotes are usually about goals, procrastination, etc and it's saved me a lot of (potenti

As an American who hadn't been out of North America until 10th grade, my student exchange to Lyon was very enjoyable and showed me how absurd life can be in America sometimes. The beautiful old architecture paired with modern public tr

A common problem I've had with standalone GPS units is that they get confused when two roads are very close to one another. Highway overpasses, on-ramps and off-ramps, routes right next to highways, etc. You wouldn't want your sel

You can create filters using the FB Purity extension. There's a couple of issues with it though, namely allowing an extension to view / modify your account as a security risk, and it breaks periodically as Facebook changes layout

I still do, but strip away as much of the interface as possible using uBlock Origin style rules, FB Purity, and Newsfeed Eradicator[1]. I use lists extensively to organize friends into groups (work, school, various hobbies). The number of u

Misconstruing the phrasing of the amendment is a weak way to argue against it. At the time it was written, "well regulated" was commonly used to describe something that worked well, was in good repair, etc. A militia being "w

The animals in GTA:V do have attacks (sharks, dogs and mountain cats bite, etc). If you use a mod to play as an animal it becomes your melee attack. Modding support in the GTA series is excellent, and has spawned a large community. It'

I've noticed that it won't work for most sites (for me, in Chrome at least) unless I open the web link in an incognito window. I assume it's related to cookies / referrer in some way

Given that it appears to partially work, I would guess that the auto-updated driver doesn't work properly on Windows 10. Can you determine the model / chipset of the wireless card?

There was a thread[1] recently in which a Linux (specifically systemd) bug was capable of bricking motherboards. ACPI bugs can cause overheating, failure to enter sleep mode, etc. In a perfect world of open source firmware this wouldn'

As everyone else has said, I would prefer that (if I were browsing with no filtering). Here's the trivial client blocking method: OCR and break the result into different groups by page location, font size and color; the article will be

Any chance this contributed to the Dark Knight being filmed there? Choosing Chicago for the cityscape makes sense by itself but the film focused heavily on corruption. I found a nice breakdown of scene / real locations while looking in

I'm in the same situation regarding Steam. The "What if it goes away?" question is a large one (and we'll see it in action as today's cloud services fold with time), but I believe they would distribute some form of

A customer in some countries (USA, major EU countries, etc) is entitled to the ability to pay for certain content. Why shouldn't GP be entitled to the same thing? Is their money and advertising-eyeball-hours worth less? This isn't

Agreed! I think part of the problem could be that the first, say 10-20, comments on a controversial story won't be very good. This makes people flag it before (hopefully) a lot of genuine thought and effort goes into the comments. I&#x

It's not a phenomenon; users are not out to oppress or censor anyone. These types of stories are terrible in terms of quality of discussion, and provide almost nothing to satisfy one's intellectual curiosity. This whole thread is

It'd be great if more startups entered the car-board computing field. Mounting an Android tablet, rasberry pi or arduino in the dash isn't very complex, and simpler to update. I wouldn't mind seeing a brief boot screen if it

While this is true, it's pretty easy to infer from gps. If there's a 10 minute ETA and you just went over the proverbial train tracks into the bad side of town, or you're familiar with the surrounding towns, it's not dif

Understandable (except for the "more fuel efficient" bit), but with your reply to @huuu in mind, being able to select your gear (and keep it in that gear) would eliminate any unexpected surging. Dense traffic isn't a lot of w

Simple solution: shift earlier, since you can shift up at 2k (before the turbo really takes off) without lugging the engine at all. Complex solution: Chip the engine - some people prefer a smoother power curve, which can be achieved with a
