I think it could be relate to VIN or body numer. It could be that they will take driverain, seats and interiors and scrap only the metal body, then will reuse the pieces to rebuild another car, toatally feasible for a new car, for the nine used cars, I suppose that the pieces could be still resold as refurbished. Probabily the cost of dismantle the car, stripe the paint and repaint, and remount the car was the same of starting with a new car body.
I suppose that is something similar on what happens with credit cards and debit cards, so if a purchase is made out of a normal pattern the card is locked. When I travel abroad, I phone to my bank and I tell them when and where I'll go. In case of false positives, happened once and an ATM refused my card, a quick call to the bank resolved the problem.
I'ts the same in civil enginnering, and women prefer to graduate in Architecture, by the way there are a lot of exams in common between the two, like calculus and construction theory. And there are a lot of firms where civil engineers and architects are designing buildings. Same thing for computer science and mathemathics.
There's some family pressure that steers the study path, for starters, so a girl that is math-minded is naturally pushed to the mathemathics course, but a boy is pushed to learn computers.

Current devices are used by a lot of people to access Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Rarely are used as phones, so have an headphone jack is of lesser utility. On the other hand older analogue and GSM cellphones didn't normally had a 3,5 mm jack, but used a propietary connector for connecting headphones and mic, some used a 2,5 mm jack to save space, but the idea to have an external headphone and mouthpiece is natural for a telephone.
If you think them as a spying devices on the other hand..

I know a lot of ham radio operators that prefers to make HF DX QSO using CW or PSK31 rather than SSB. One could use a narrow IF filter and there's less QRM anyway.
What stops you to get an amateur radio license and modify a TV sender to operate in HAM bands an daad an amplifier, or
Buy an already-made module?
Are these modules cosidered line LPD systems os similar unlicensed systems? I remember that to control model aircaft one needed to pay a CB tax because was actually used the CB band to transmit.
If the AOL mail server works fine and the address is reasonable, like name.surname@aol.com looks me a fine address. Same thing with hotmail, or google.
Judge someone by the ISP is using or the cellphone one has is a bit racist: is borderline. It's the same thing to judge an application from the street address. Maybe if one lives downtown has more money than one that lives in suburban areas, but this is not always true and anyway doesn't correlate with job skills.
If I have to do an emergency brake because the driver if front of me behaves erratically and I can stop safely I was driving correctly, and was actually respecting the safety distance.
In Italy there's is a fine if a driver stops suddently or even drives too slowly without reason., for traffic obstruction,
This is a false dichotomy.
I prefer to take a train, a tramway or an underground. Besides self driving underground coaches are well understood and a mature technology, and trains are almos automatically driven. Yesterday a train engineer had an heat attack while approaching the train station. Train automatically stopped at the next red light, and the station manager alerted the paramedics, so no people was injured.
The engineer is mainly here in case of abnormal situations like problems on train protection systems, fires or cows on the track.
Case in pont in my house there was an old fiber optic installation. A phone company technican came to install the new router that had a 100BASE-LX instead the old router 10BASE-FL port, different connectors and anyway the fiber had to be checked for damage. In this case, as you can guess the problem was becaus my house was used for an early FTTH installation in the 2000s, so the technology they are use, Ethernet is different if compared with newer installation (GPON).
For PSTN the day a line is deactivated, the wires are marked as available so there's no guarantee that even if the cabling is present that the line is in workable condition so a linemen has to check it.
The automatic call could generate a particular tone, clearly recognizable.
Like this:
http://cdn2.goughlui.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/V17-14400bps-nonECM.wav. Bonus point if the called system is a computer it could switch to a digital mode and eventually ask for an encoded image representing the request.
If a person answers the call it could also manually activate the image printer.
Win!
If you are buying a city car, you could get basic models that have only a normal radio/cd player or even only a hole to put an aftermarket car radio, like the Fiat Panda, Fiat Punto, Dacia Duster and so on.
I suppose that it doesn't work if one wants to buy an hybrid or a luxury car. Anyway if you like to be a bit ecologic some of these base model are equipped with dual fuel injection, so they could run on CNG or LPG.
You are a clear case of a self-employed worker. In EU you'll have a VAT registration number.
In Italy here is the problem of the fake VAT registrations, when one self-employed worker has only one customer, and when tax inspector find it both the worker and the customer are fined for tax evasion.
In Italy there are some exception of the rules. Taxi drivers and limousine service drivers have VAT registrations despite normally having only one dispatcher service. Baby sitters, cleaners, and caregivers are considered employees even if the work for different families.
crap that is broadcast on it all day, every day. Right wing political rants, conspiracy theorists, and religious kooks have taken over all the space between the baseball games.
I think this is an US-centric view. In Europe, due the fact almost all AM radios are public, normally are a simulcast of FM or satellite broadcasting. The programming is almost news or sports , but sometimes there's a music programme.
The AM killer is unfortunately the invasion of cheap switching power supplies and cheap digital electronics that pollutes the spectrum used for AM stations, making the listening of them, especially into the cities.
Finding also a decent AM receiver is difficult these days, and due the ADSL usage the old trick to use a capacitive link to the phone line to get an "invisible" antenna doesn't work anymore.
Mast sharing was done since the '50. In thiss photo you could see two masts sharing
AM plus FM plus TV VHF plus TV UHF plus microwave links
The AM antenna is the T shaped wire between the masts. I am not surbrised at all that you coluls share services, because there masts are quite costly.
I don't know why more standard solutions aren't used. like having the package delivered at a post office or a pick-up box, or designate a neighbour. Give the neighbour or the janitor a receipt an when the delivery gus leave the package, asks the receipt.
I have lived for year in a small town in Italy and used a lot the mail order catalogues, even before Amazon,
Assembly and trasport costs for a 3500€ kitcken bought at IKEA are 629€ like 18% more if you buy the parts, tansport and build yourself.
For generic furniture the costs for transport and assembly are 369€ for 3500€ or 10% of the cost.
Almost all cheap furniture is sold to be assembled, especially kitchens, becaude the costs of handle already build furniture is higher: if you havto relocate, most of the time it's better to disassemble tables and cupboard rather than have a lot of unused space.
For instance Fiat made an infomercial for the Fiat UNO where they were boasting the fact that the unibody was assembled by robots, (And ascketd Michele Alboreto, the F1 driver to drive it!).
I know that both the engine and the bodywork were engineered to make esaier for robots to build it, and on the other hand IKEA chairs are engineered to be built by untrained people.
Robots building metal chairs Robots packing beers in cartons
You could design "roads" for automatic drivers, they're called rails. You have automatic underground lines, and even regular trains have an almost automatic control, maximum speed and braking is automatically controlled bi signals.
Of course the human intervention is required for oddball situations, like a failing engine or unexpected cows in the track, but I suppose that the money invested on self driving lorries could be more succesfully used for freight train infrastructure. By the way the electic train is a solved problem and doesn't have batteries.
I think the main problem is the rising costs regarding underground construction, due higher safety standard and expected comfort for the passengers.
If you look at the construction of tunnels the death rate between workers was really high, and of course problems with absestos and dirt produced during the boring process wasn't cosidered. Add to this the fact that nowadays a station not equipped for people on wheelchair or without heating isn't a viable oprion, and of course the costs of building are high.
For specia cases there are rechargeable alkalines, and if you'll take the fire hazard risk even the non-recheargeable alkalines are actually rechargeable a few times.

Some spammers are actually local calls, made by some local brick and mortar shop trying to advertise you something.
One of them is my bank, and sometimes happened to be an useful thing, like a new bond subscription
They have treated me nicely, because they owe me some money and there are two other banks in the same street they're, I think.
The iOS pad doesn't run Linux either. The HP tablet having to run Windows has some standard and documented bootstrap procedure. I have a Lenovo tablet, and the logest thing to to do install Fedora was to borrow an USB DVDROM drive, and make a gparted and Fedora DVD.
After 20 minutes the system rebooted with a nice GRUB menu. From what I have read Linux Install on that HP tablet is almost the same.
Besided I've had a Nexus tablet and I have used an iPad also.
Having windows means that you can easily run almost any application, like Eclipse or Visual Studio. Browsers are more friendly too...
The biggest difference is the usage of the service. I remember using BBS, USENET and mailing lists. YOU had, using a personal computer, dial up to a service, download the messages, read them on an 80x25 screen and then dial up again and upload the messages.
You didn't have a portable device capable of multimedia content, sending notifications always with you, in an easily digestible format, specially built to hook you and overfill you with advertising.
The information bubble you were creating there wasn't automatically generated by the system, but was a more active one, like choosing a newspaper or borrowing a book. You had to dial up to the punk anarchic BBS or the neo nazi one, and was a conscious decision, and you were expecting different content. Not that you were catalogued by the platform and served accordingly.
