Cop shows that include a 5 minute foot chase. This is usually the result of the cops shouting out a suspect's name from half a block away instead of waiting until they are within arm's reach. Inevitably the suspect runs into the path of a car or truck and the …

Hi I watch a few movies the past weekend, just to relaxed and not think about work. I saw a few movies. I saw: **The Raid Redemption** - The best action movie this year! It's a **Indonesian** action film. The director is **Welsh** but he speaks **Indonesian** and **English** and …

I've been following the latest efforts (in the US) of the GOP to unfairly redraw electoral boundaries and was considering how simple a law could be worded to ensure a more fair allocation of electoral districts. What I came up with is: 1. All boundary lines must consist of straight …

I think I finally understand why Trump is doing so well (he recently pulled even with Hillary Clinton). It's only after years of shows like American Idol and America's Got Talent that his rise is possible. These shows got Americans used to the idea that they could vote with no …

I'm hoping that people will post unusual or little known facts here. It would be proper to include a link to a source for confirmation. Here's a start. Speedy Gonzales was banned by the Cartoon Network for being an offensive stereotype, only to be returned after mass protest by the …

I think we can all agree (this will likely provoke disagreement) that a voting machine that records a vote electronically without a way to do a manual verification is a bad idea. How then should a proper voting machine work. My suggestion is to have a touch screen on which …

A few years ago, the Canadian government (at that time it was a majority Conservative government under Stephen Harper) proposed legislation which would have weakened the privacy rights of all Canadians. Part of the justification was to allow easier apprehension and prosecution of people trafficking in child pornography. The justice …

The day that Americans will decide if they want to step on the brakes or drive off the cliff.

A recent study done by a think tank hired by Canadian airline companies has come to the conclusion that if the airlines charged less money then people would buy more tickets. I don't want to know how much money and time it took to come to that brilliant conclusion. What …

I've been listening to various debates on the potential impact of AI and the two sides seem to boil their arguments down to 1. AI is dangerous because it will mean the extinction of humanity as machines that can improve themselves will do it so rapidly as to quickly make …

I’m thinking of writing a (hopefully both fun and useful) listicle with advice from “women who have been there” for spotting companies that really mean it when they say, “We want more geek women here.” There’s lots of articles about negative things that should scare you away. What are your …

Now will they? I have my doubts. Here in Belgium, we have one of the most dense road maps of the world. Traffics jams, road constructions, pits in the road etc. It's even hard for a human being like me to go from A to B. So how would a …

Hello everyone, I will take this chance to reintroduce myself to the community. I was a member on the Daniweb forums back in 2006 and 2007. I can see a lot has changed on the site since then, and its great to see that the community is still alive. In …

... how the same politicians who said that New Jersey should just man up and take care of themselves after Hurricane Sandy hit, are now calling for federal aid from FEMA for relief from Hurricane Harvey, and in a few days, probably Hurricane Irma.

I've been a Windows user right from the start and I've seen many problems that resulted in the infamous `checking for a solution to the problem`. I'm curious. Can anyone tell me if they have ever had an instance where Windows has actually found a solution?

Not being a white-supremacist, racist, slavery-apologist myself I'm finding it hard to understand why there's such a fuss over taking down a statue of a white-supremacist, racist, slavery apologist. The 'it's part of our history' argument doesn't wash with me, nor the Germans as I don't think there are any …

In light of the self driving car discussion I thought I'd start revving folk up about the electric cars we have today. For me it was almost by accident I moved into my current EV which is a 2014 Nissan Leaf SV. I have a nice enough van but I …

I am doing a project for my math class in which I have to choose a topic and connect math concepts to it, and I chose video games. Possible concepts: Quadratics, vectors, probability, trigonometry, statistics, etc. I know this is probably a long shot but anything helps. In what ways …

People, I am sure you've heard of social bookmarking sites like del.icio.us. You can now upload your bookmarks on a third party site to host your bookmarks so you can have access to your bookmarks from any part of the world when you are away from your home computer. No …

Happy 150th birthday to all of the Canadian Daniweb members. 

any suggestion for thesis title proposal with hardware pc/laptop is not counted as medium, me and my groupmates already proposed but all proposal are rejected any suggestion thank you in advance ~john :3

The recent flood of "technical problems" with computers at Delta Airlines, the New York Stock Exchange, the Wall Street Journal etc. make me wonder if we have become too dependent on these machines? Are they maintained by less and less competent people? Has the complexity exceeded human comprehension?

Jolly good luck, indeed. I hope you don't need it, but watching from over the pond it looks like there are going to be some very short fingernails by tomorrow...

Hi everyone, How are you? Starting some thread after long time :) Actually, I have a group of 25 people. I have 20-25 mobile devices in my group. So, I have assigned 1-2 device on each person's name(as an owner). But, people in the group ask each other for the …

A note to everyone on Daniweb who is eligible to vote this November, especially young voters who show up in notoriously low numbers. This is not like making a bad decision, knowing your parents are there to save you. There is no safety net. There is no do-over. If you, …

OK, so I know an 18-year-old young woman who just graduated high school. She'd not related to me, but she's the daughter of a very close friend, I've watched her grow up, and I'm sort of an Honorary Uncle since she has no uncles who are blood relatives. She mostly …

This is a question for the Daniweb members from the UK. In North America we have seen a number of Americanized versions of British comedies. "Til Death Do Us Part" became "All in the Family". "Steptoe & Son" became "Sanford & Son", "Man About the House" became (the much inferior) …
