There usually is toilet paper, but it's on a bar that prevents the rolls from spinning freely, making it hard to use larger amounts.

I believe a lot of the UPS vans are based on off the shelf step vans, i.e. https://workhorse.com/stepvans . They may have some customizations, but appear to be pretty standard.

One major downside is that the schedule is very unpredictable between Portland and Seattle, due to right of way being preempted by freight traffic. It's not uncommon to have to pull into a siding and sit for 10-20 minutes several times

I think the unsaid assumption, although it is near impossible to prove, is that this was motivated by desire to punish foreign conglomerates and provide a nice advantage to domestic producers. While I'm sure this is near impossible to

All it took to get around At Ease was to hit the interrupt or programmers key (which on newer Macs was cmd + the power button on the keyboard). That brought up the micro debugger, and you just had to type "G FINDER" and it'd

They're actually still around and make iPad, iPhone games and have ported several of their utilities to OS X, but it's nothing like their late 90s heyday. Played the crap out of Escape Velocity, Avara, Barrack, etc. Learned to mak

Eudora circa '96 or so. I loved that it had personality. If you started typing without any window open it would beep for the first several keystrokes and then a dialog would pop up after a bit that said something like "You can con

Filemaker tried to get into this with Bento, but I think that's been 86ed as well. What I really loved about Hypercard though, was that it was so much more than a database. As a school kid in the 90s I used to make lots of interactive

Spent alot of time working with low to medium power lasers in the entertainment industry, and I'm happy to say that was also a joke in that industry as well.

Upon looking at that video again, I have to wonder if the building design and construction didn't play into that as well, with the very overhang taking energy reflected off the ground and directing it back down towards the windows.

That doesn't fully obscure the original URL though, it's very easy to issue a HEAD request and examine the headers first.

I wouldn't get worked up about things being 'limited' when virtually all race cars are limited in some form. F1 has fuel flow restrictions and rev restrictions (which can't be reached due to the fuel flow requirement). N

What if I don't sync the data back to my phone until I return home? Is that concealing? Is it any different than leaving sensitive items from my wallet (say social security card) at home while I travel?

Seems like it's a tough argument though, I never have all my email on my phone, or all my dropbox files, etc. If I choose to not sync certain GMAP labels to IMAP, does that mean I am 'hiding' them?

The big problem here is that if you're at the terminal waiting on a load, you're "on-duty, not driving." This is a specific status as it relates to federal motor carrier regulations that govern the hours a driver can ope

It's only a deterrence, not a defense. The attacked can always wait it out, or attack multiple sites at once to slow things down. You also have to watch out for rate limiting becoming a way for attackers to DDoS your legitimate users.

Yeah, I don't mind it occasionally, but he'll open up qualifying with something like, "Well today we're going to see if Maranello can take the fight to Brackley," and I wish he'd just use the team names. On the

Yeah, it's to where the only exciting races are the wet races. I've only been following F1 for about 3 years now, and Brazil 2016 was hands down the most exciting race I've ever seen.

I don't mind most of his commentary, except for the bit where he calls all the teams by their home city. People don't really care about Brackley vs. Maranello.
