I've had vehicles with the sunroof or moonroof or whatever for over 25 years and they are pretty much worse than useless. Manufacturers throw them into high option packages to jack up their profits.

I'm not sure what they are up to, but many patents do not result in commercial products.

What about the scenario where the Chinese or Russian hackers make all the cars crash into each other? I'm more concerned about that than the rare high speed Volkswagen. :lol:

They are public roads. You should spend some time in rural NM/CO/UT/AZ/NV. ;)

There are so many places where there is no destination to punch in. Everything is not in a city or has a valid street address. Even the Google and Garmins could not find my friend's house for months after it was built. I doubt that the robots are yet up to par in technical driving on unpaved...

I try to avoid cities whenever possible, and I basically define that as anywhere there are not primarily 4-lane, 2-way streets and no open, free parking. Even a few miles in a 25 MPH district and hordes of peds is quite annoying. I'd rather drive 5 times as far where the speed limits are 65-80...

Minivans are commonly converted to help transport the disabled. You can buy a used one at a decent price and that could be a second vehicle that is not driven much.

I'm all for safety technologies if they can be activated or disabled by the driver, but that sounds like some f*cked up dystopia. I've been in nine states, 4 segnetns, setnoa and over 2000 mile

Is that a mechanical update to an existing lens like the 24-70 VC II or an entirely new lens? The similar Sigma lens is severely limited by the lack of a tripod mount option. The 80-400 VR-G is in need of an update and the main reason for me not to use the Di50 for certain purposes.

I hope it had a roof. :lol: Maybe you meant something else.

The capacity is too small and they overheat.

I do not understand it fully and was a bit tired after an hour on the phone with the user. After finally locking the drives in place there was a message that drive number 4 failed and the array was degraded. However, the user indicated there was a log entry that the array had also degraded...

Drive trays are cheap plastic so the latches broke.

I was stationed there in GW1. I'm not much of a drinker but preferred the French wines over beers.

So the NAS I shipped arrived a few weeks ago and I backed up all the data without incident. I was informed today that the NAS was somehow knocked off a table onto the floor and some of the drives ejected and won't go back in. The NAS was running at the time and is now making loud beeping...

Potable drinking water and water one would like to drink are often two different things. It depends on the water supply, plumbing and personal taste. Of course during the cyclones potability is the priority.

There was some coverage abroad on the TV. I could not understand the language but the winds looked strong. Was the Tampa seriously afflicted?

Try to go near the end of September before the lodges close but when the animals are more likely to be low.

Just horrible. It makes me miss my old Mopar. No computer spying on you. I think the rental cars spy as well.

Interesting. Let us know if that is any good. Right now I have only 4 devices but 8x SFP+ would be more futureproof.

The 16-35/4 is quite good even at 50MP. Mainly I use the 24-70/4 IS as the normal zoom, but I also have the nice 24-70/2.8 II. I was not happy with the Sigma 24-105 strong color fringing towards the edges though it is very sharp in the center and midfield. I consider it a people .lens rather...

I've used various markers but the P-touch labels are resilient and don't fall off. I have a dozen LP-E6 type with labels on the end and about 10 LP-E4 type with labels on the side in a position that does not contact the battery chamber during insertion/extraction.

Well it's a wakeup call to some users no doubt. :(

I worked on a project about 15+ years ago but it was not meat. :rofl:

Red red red wine oh oh.

Power is shot. No generator. Civilization is bullshit. POI while she can. I hope the stains will come out on The crotch L

I like 60Co. Just hit everything with 25 KGy. :)

Holy moly they are shippingcnext week. Maybe I should not have ordered some.

What is the softenware that reads the human writing and evaluates the gender, personality and mental condition of the subject?

To David and the Chewy as well. :b-day:

I like plastic. The risks aren't the highest in this life. The effect on mortality is probably less than driving 11,000 miles and flying 37,000 miles a year.

Yes, so you better know the raw meats were handled well.

I still travel with a regular GPS with US/Canada or other area maps installed including topo maps in some cases. Phones are useful in many places, but in some areas off the main highways there is little to no cell reception to provide detailed maps.

Why would there be any need to restore data from the defunct service once the pay period expires? Presumably users would have a new backup set on the new storage cloud business by then.

I'd be more concerned about the food not being hot enough to kill bacteria. :puke-r:

Is that a spam.?

The theory is that the 9FPS type of user will already have batteries and chargers for their pro D4/D4s/D5 bodies. There are some generic chargers, though not specifically listed for the b version of the battery pack they should work.

The main thing that sucks is that the 80-400 and 200-500 are not up to par off from the center. If only there were some easy way to fit the Canon 100-400 II on the D850. :(

No, but you know who I am. ;)

I was thinking of Death Valley a few years ago at 129°F.

It is hot as hell in the valley this week. Tues. is 110°F actual, not a heat index. :(

Hey, did you just reach the big 40?

It looks rather bad today too. :( I wonder whatever happened to the iGary and his alter egos?

I was really expecting 4TB for $1000 by XMAS, but obviously not. :(

Can't the Chinese robots make them for cheap? :rofl:

I suppose, but it's not like chips are mined from asteroids or something. They can make more.

The market is small because the prices are so high. :) I don't want to spend $1600 for a 4TB SATA SSD if U.2 will be mainstream soon.

Now the 4TB EVO SSDs are ~$1600. Even the 2TB 850 Pro is more expensive than nearly 2 years ago. :crap: Meanwhile 10TB drives that were $600 last year are now under $400. At this rate HDDs are not going away very soon. :(

It seems that many people all over the web are going bonkers about this change. Backblaze will be gaining customers. I don't understand how the online storage works, but I wish you all good luck.

Golfing will be cancelled. :D :rofl:
