I have been in engineering for more than 50 years and I have the same opinion. The political right does not seem to get it. They seem to react to a difference of thought or opinion like it's insulting their intelligence. I think that's because they have never had to prove anything only spout the current thought of the masses.
Not vaccinating your children is putting their lives at risk. I am a perfect example of that. I caught polio in 1942, it effected my left leg. This was before there was any vaccine.
I was never able to play any sports and I was on crutches and wore braces up until high school. I relied on my parents entirely until I was 18 years old. Why does a parent want to subject their children themselves to this kind of life????? I have been in a wheelchair for the last 10 years.
Chevron is so huge they can afford almost anything.
They other issue:
True, the patent only lasts so long,
as a patent holder I understand that. The term of
a patent is 17 years, in this day and age that's a very
long time, long enough for technology to be prevented
from evolving better ideas and hardware....
"I really, really hope this becomes reality. Because I'd like to get an EV or a hybrid without breaking the bank, and it's my opinion that this is the last push needed."
As long as Chevron doesn't buy the patent and refuses to allow auto makers to use it for EV or hybrids......
Fuck off asshole. If you are facing decades in prison and being forever named a felon, wouldn't you consider it?
These prosecutors need to pay for their crimes. They need to be fired, disbarred, and then thrown in jail.
Culprit #1: Stephen P. Heymann, the head of the Cybercrime Unit and lead prosecutor
Culprit #2: Carmen M. Ortiz, US Attorney (and Bostonian of the Year as Twitter tells me)

In my opinion let him go to Ecuador, that in itself would be due punishment. I have been to Ecuador and it's capital is 1 degree off the equator. It is a very miserable place to live. The temperature average is 90 degrees F. and can be as high as 100, with a the humidity is 80%. Assange has no idea what he is asking for.
Your statement "Jaguar died as a brand in 1987, when Ford took them over." is bullshit. After Ford took over the reliability was much better. If you ever owned a Jaguar prior to Ford and wanted max performance the engine needed a tune-up and the valves needed adjustment quite often (once a month). I got so fed up maintaining the engine I replaced it with 350 cubic inch Chevy V8, got better gas mileage, more power and a hell've a lot more reliability. Had to tune it up every 6 to 8 months.
I completely disagree, Things are so fucked-up because of the current MBA attitude of keeping the profits and stock prices on a 3 month schedule. Engineers and designers are forced to design products that will have an effect on the bottom line, in essence keeping the investors happy whether the product works or not. I fought this for 35 years in SV. It was OK for engineering to release a product to manufacturing that was not 100%. Engineering would not get it back if it didn't full function, but manufacturing engineering would. I refused to release what I was designing until I was happy with it. I have been told by my manager that he was willing to shoot me to get the product away from me. But, I had very few products come back because the didn't work.
Steve Jobs knew the value of designing a product until it was viable, even if it took a year. We'll miss him.
What is Kimchi or Kimchee.
Kimchi is a form of fermented cabbage. Similar to Sauerkraut, but more intensely flavored. It is fermented in wooden barrels with brine, hot peppers, ginger, chopped radish, garlic, salted dried shrimp and fish sauce. In my opinion the best produces a slight a effervescence feel on the tongue.
It is the the Korean national dish and has been for 3000 yrs. All households have at least 2 barrels in various stages of fermentation.
I'm not Korean...
No, your government just bombs the fuck out of countries that disagree with them...
Only if they have something we want, just like every major power since the Roman Empire has done, all throughout history. We don't agree with North Korea, for example... they don't have a single goddamn thing we want, but do keep making threatening noises about nuking our allies, so we keep buying them off with free food and diesel fuel. So we don't bomb other nations just because they disagree with us: fact is, most of the world is full of complete assholes who disagree with us, and while actually do have enough bombs to take care of them all, there wouldn't be much left when we finished the job.
Not having sense enough to buy the saw with a "Saw Stop" should give you the intelligence level here..
As we used to say in our engineering dept. "you make it fool proof, but not damn fool proof"
What history of modems also skips is Vadic and Racal Vadic. The first full duplex 1200 bps modem (VA-3400) was designed John A.C. Bingham. It was patented and was copied by Bell/ATT to make the Bell 212AT. The VA-3400 use offset carriers which gave 2.5 dB better FDX performance than the 212AT modem. Because the VA-3400 had offset carriers it made a great acoustic couple. The 212AT was very poor at acoustic coupling.
Vadic also had one of the best performing V32 MODEMs on the market.
One item you didn't mention:
Man made fertalizers are good for growing certain crops, but cannot replace natural fertalizers coming from decomposed native plants and/or composted plant waste. Artificial fertalizers rely heavily on nitrates which for the most part are not good for native plants. The nitrates are better at promoting certain weeds and non-native plants. I don't have the references for this study, but I did read it only a few months ago. I think it was in an issue of the alumni magazine from UC Davis.

This is nothing more than the usual twisted bullshit Fox has produced since the beginning. Can't expect anything else...

This might also cause many Indians that left the US, to create a startup, to reverse their thinking and finish the startup up here.
