Sometimes you just need to take your lumps. And a lot of times, when you've set yourself up to expect them, you don't get them. People who aren't willing to own up to their own mistakes and deficiencies are the ones who sweep things under the rug and end up losing 12 months of user data.
Also admitting your mistakes means you can examine them and avoid them in future.
No. The key is built into the remote (switchblade style). The remote locks and unlocks the car (and has trunk and panic functions). unlocking the car with the remote or the key disarms the alarm. This is a good thing as the remote is battery powered and not 100% waterproof so failure can happen (and has to me).
They key also has a RFID chip for the immobilizer which acts as a separate function.
There are some people who you could site down with and explain things for two hours and they would still go away and do their own thing. IT is particularly full of people like this (and I'm aware of and try to avoid my own inclinations in this direction). Sometimes, you just have to make it clear that something is important and that means raising the temperature even as (and especially as) you remain in control internally.
This is also a valuable parenting skill. I don't think that that's entirely coincidental.
Not so. On my car, the alarm disarm is triggered by a microswitch activated when the end of the key enters a plastic receptacle and is turned. Something like a slim-jim could conceivably be used to snag the wire going from the inside handle to the lock (wrong side of the glass though I think) but that would not disarm the alarm.
I do think I may have just thought of a way that it would be possible to get into the car without the right key though. Surely there must be a guard against that though...
Microscopes, telescopes and binoculars all have adjustable focus. Unless your eyes are really terrible (and if Lasik was enough, they should not have been), they should have been fine.
I had a 1TB seagate that failed within a month. I haven't even been bothered to RMA it. Then again, I just RMAed 3 WD blacks, two of which failed at nearly the same time in a RAID 1 and unfortunately, Nvidia's RAID, which seemed to work fairly OK has crappy tools which don't report errors by default. It seems like HD quality is through the floor since my main file/mail-server is using a couple of drives from the early 2000s with not even a hiccup
I RMAed some drives last month and the way you describe is the way it is. Though I think it did seem to imply you would need to use the tool at some point, it didn't actually ask for the results (Though I printed them out and stuffed them in the boxes anyway)
It was horrendous. Not the best speaker at the best of times, it was a total flop over video. The format made it hard to read body language and get a feel for where the interview was going, the lag made it a PITA with people talking over each other and also made it hard to read how the discussion was going. In the end, though I was well qualified for the position, I realized I had not made a single good case for why they should hire me. Naturally, I didn't get a call back and I couldn't blame them. I would avoid doing it again in future if at all possible.
Corel Draw is still around. But it is a vector-based program so is not in the same ball-park (it includes Corel Photo Paint (or did) which is more equivalent). If Gimp is the open source competitor to Photoshop, Inkscape is the open source competitor to Corel Draw.
Could be an interesting premise for a movie. Everyone given a camera and a wristwatch monitor and paired up with someone else they don't know. Now, what would the hook be?
Guns already have a safety switch, that prevents the gun from firing.
Many don't. And the opinion of many is that they could actually be a liability by causing the gun not to fire when you want it to (not looking for a discussion on this, it's a matter of opinion and preference and choice is a good thing).
Most micro-usb connectors have little teeth on the wide metal side that make it easy to know the alignment in the dark. It's not ideal by any means but it does make things a bit easier.
So sure, that would justify being able to patent "method for arranging pins in a high density" or somesuch but a simple layout and shape is not innovation at all.

You are part of the problem.

Yeah, but in this scenario, it's like the mechanic started blaming the engine manufacturer. I bet that wouldn't have impressed the pilot.

It's probably dry-solder joints in the lock mechanism. I fixed mine a couple of weeks back. Fairly straight-forward if a little time consuming.
My Jetta does not but it does disarm the alarm if you unlock the door with the key.
Annoying when the unlock sensor stopped working.
Good luck with the police thing.

I'm kinda surprised that there's not a central database of drive reliability. Perhaps automated reporting could be added in to smartmontools even.

They had this. They discontinued it not too long ago.

Err, well.

This is why DIN rocks. Unfortunately, car makers seem to be moving away from it more and more.
