I think that even the manual controls are by-wire - and that was part of the problem. Your set of controls has to be the active ones before they do anything.
A => C : station C rudder control resumes at whatever setting station C already had the last time it was used, regardless of the rudder setting on whatever console transferred to it.
Pretty huge fail - it could have been days since Station C had control (assuming I understand right). Current heading should override all previous settings. Person who gained control should be alerted to the current data when they get control.
I feel like cable wouldn't even have so many cord cutters if they just charged everyone the advertised prices - even the loyal customers. Or even just consistently advertised the actual prices (without bundles).
You only need to rent a CableCard from your provider for the main unit(s).
Easier said than done. Who hasn't managed to get themselves an exemption when they moved to SDV? You'll get to rent a tuning adapter for each tuner in that TiVo.
Unless you're in a Comcast area - any content licensed to Netflix from the NBCUniversal catalog makes Comcast money.
If physical media weren't so expensive, I would almost prefer to go that route. For those few good shows, $20-40/yr. is much cheaper than $50-100/mo. Digital copies are never discounted at the scale of physical media. Wait until a show has been out for a few years and you can really get a deal.
For now, most of the content I watch is free OTA and Netflix.
And Apple called their music store iTunes. It would be hard to justify a company not allowing to use their own company name....blah, blah, blah. Except they had to settle with Apple Records in the end - after fighting with them to get a trademark to use on computers in the first place.
it costs $10,000 per pound to put something into orbit
I don't think that carries over to putting something into something else that's already in orbit. Besides, that's an average cost and having lighter paper will not equate to $625 an ounce in cost savings. Printers need thicker paper to absorb ink anyway - you'd have to do a lot more work to make non-standard paper work.
in order to get the apple computer tm in the first place
And this is why they couldn't easily get the trademark in the first place. Actually, they should have been able to anyway (for computers) - it's just that Apple Corps was extremely litigious. Fruitopia shampoo is not made by Coca-Cola. Home Depot uses Nicorette's slogan of "You can do it. We can help." Trademarks are not universal. Otherwise, Microsoft would never be able to trademark a name like "Windows."
Yeah, and Apple Computer made a computer with a music store - and got sued by Apple Corps. Trademarks are granted under very specific markets, and are not protected universally.
Skimming while scrolling is useful. You get a lot of judder on phones when trying to scroll, mostly due to the latency of the refresh rate of the panel itself rather than the input frequency. But I can accept that it's useful - 60Hz is not some magic number for UI.
But really, it's not an "audio device." Yes, this one has some emphasis on multimedia, but its entire purpose is not to be an audio device - which is true of most phones. I don't want a monolithic device that's supposed to do literally everything - but I'm also not a cell phone gamer, so I'm not part of this target market.

try another configuration after a couple of crashes to see if it works better.
Ah, the Steam release model. What we need is something more modern than a Steam ship. You plan and figure this all out before building the giant ship.

That was also just quick example. It holds whether it's a company name or not.

And they have the audacity to call this "professional installation."
Now they get ZERO from me for TV.

Also, please, name a legal cable/satellite company with a package that costs $50.
I think they were underestimating to prove their point. Wrong conclusion, but nice big number.
Their estimate is based on $50/mo. or $600 per year. I wouldn't call it way overcharging - just that they're selling more than I want to buy.
The fact is, most companies charge way more than $50/mo. too.
Even if the clock starts on release, 20 years of income for 20 years of work is just barely a minimum.
Are you familiar with algebra (al-jabr)?

This is a job for liars. Only the people who claim 10 years of experience will be hired.
I don't see how they're getting around gravity-feed (or lack thereof) for the pickup rollers.
Spring-loading the rollers from both sides. Having rollers inside the paper cassette.
Floating toner dust would be way worse of an issue.
Current thermal printing fades very qickly. Have you ever tried to save a receipt for longer than a year?

If they throw them out the window, that's probably quite a long way.
Would you use a printer that wasn't field-tested by millions of consumers?

It would be a lot more useful if you could keep your brain.

Where free means no out of pocket cost. Come on, you know what I mean.
Marketing and promotion of your self-published product is not massively expensive.
Citation needed. Especially if you're not a publisher and don't have any industry contacts.
Woosh? Maybe? I think the parent poster meant Anonymous Coward as a pun - since their comment is under the AC. If not, I bet they wish they did.
