That is correct. Apple does not have the balls to pull it's manufacturing out of china. To get the manufacturing up and running elsewhere will do two things.
1 - bankrupt the company. 2 - force a triple price increase.
China has apple completely by the balls. Go ahead, get your iphones made in the USA,Europe,India or South america.. Oh wait none of them have the industries needed to make the device...
"Part of the problem is that "good" cops let other cops get away with shit and that undermines public confidence."
Right there is the problem. But remember, a good cop that ignores the actions of a bad cob is JUST AS BAD as the bad cop.
The only good cops I know are no longer on the force. One friend was SHOT "accidentally" in the head by another cop that was a friend of another cop he turned in for drugs and stealing.
"With that, you could establish that the cop was a liar, and attack his credibility, and maybe, if fortunate enough, get him nailed for perjury and kicked off the force. Police departments usually don't take kindly to their officers committing felonies on the job."
Wont happen, short of public recorded murder done execution style. Cops NEVER get convicted or fired for breaking the law. In fact MOST cops break the law daily without any recourse or care.
But I will buy a 21" laptop in a heartbeat. I already have a 18.5 inch and would like bigger. In fact if they made a 21" macbook pro artists and video editing people would be all over it.
I do embedded programming and EE cad design in the field... (think on the floor in an electrical closet while I program a buildings processors) and having that kind of screen real-estate with a higher than 1080p resolution would be a instant purchase from me.
None of this crap of Low res huge pixel screens they have been pulling. if the screen is larger than 15" and not 1080p then it's crap.
Dumb little fake anarchist kiddies that wear trenchcoats... I wanna be a part of the revolution... Ohh I can download this app and be a part of it! SCHWEET!!!!

No it's not. Not when they typically adopt the latest change... I.E. buying online and the Ebook.
The turtleneck crowd adopted the Kindle fast. guess what that leaves... only the poor people to buy books in a book store.. and the poor people are turned off by the prices. Honestly, their prices on all non books were downright obscene in their markup often 2X of what best buy had them at.
When you target the rich demographic, you have to change what you offer to match what they are after... and Borders was so poorly run they ended up as a "huh what? oh we should do that too.." tail end of the crowd.
do you click on the "feedback button" and tell them every month that their website is broken because it does not work with Firefox or Chrome. If you don't they assume you absolutely love that it only works with IE...
All the damned Security digital video recorders still use fricking Active X for their web control. Every single one of those things are complete crap because that are all China made and they don't put any effort into making the interface work with any browser.
Honestly they were overpriced on everything. I have not set foot in a borders or a Barnes and Noble for 3 years now because of their price gouging. No I'm not a trendy yuppie who wants a $4.00 coffee while I browse your store trying to look trendy. Honestly they went for "upscale" instead of a model that would have survived..
If they would have stuck as a "mom and pop" ish look and had a big old book or used book section they would still be thriving today. Instead they took the "snobby U of M rich guy in a turtleneck" direction instead.....
I have seen an industrial robot glitch and throw a whole car engine 90 feet and through a wall so fast that I am sure if it was outside the car would have easily went a football field.
I do it easier.. I have a spare 54GL sitting at the peak of my attic without any internet on it broadcasting about 60 AP's that say... Linksys, netgear, dlink, etc all open and unsecured. The cool part is the AP sits on a metal plate SHIELDING it's signal from my home. you cant see the AP's it's broadcasting from inside the house. (Knowing how RF works is a good thing)
It had two effects.
1 - it chased all the neighbors away from the channel I have them all broadcasting on. 2 - it forced all the neighbors to actually configure their routers to not have the name "linksys, dlink, netgear....." and they added encryption as they all show locks now.
Works great, and I am sure I give the wardriving kiddies as well as leaches fits when they try to connect to them. the one real AP up there called "FreeWifi" is my throttled and filtered free wifi AP I provide. works great and last time I checked it was getting used at least 5 times a week. It times out and drops you to a capture page every 50 minutes to annoy the cheap neighbors trying to leach. And no it does not mess up my WiFi as I use the channel it's on. it's the quietest channel for 4 blocks around because of my broadcaster.
What kind of moron will allow unhindered free wifi? It's brain dead easy to set up a filtering proxy. Hell Privoxy and Dans Guardian will do most of it for you easily. Install DDWRT on that linksys and enjoy even basic keyword filtering.
I even block all ports other than 80. you can use my free wifi but based on my rules and restrictions. That's the cool part about being educated on what you are doing.
I have a 10 base 2 hub. you could do star topography of a 10base2 network. And there were switches available for 10base2 from HP. They were expensive as HELL and typically used only in large companies.
I built my own 10base2 switches by loading up a PC with network cards and running Xenix on it to act as a switch.
"Serial port - slightly improved over 1980 serial ports, but still compatible
My new motherboard doesn't have one."
yes it does. Post the model number and I'll point it out to you. They dont put a DB9 on the back anymore but you still have an rs232 port on that motherboard.
SCSI is common as hell in servers although that is getting displaced. RS232 is highly common in the pro world and will stay that way. I just bought a $4500.00 HD document camera to mount in the ceiling that has HDMI out... it's controlled via..... RS232.
high end TV's and projectors are controlled via rs232.

This is exactly how all pyramid schemes work.
Bitcoin might as well be called amway-coin.
I generate my bitcoins on a rack of servers powered by Solar panels and enslaved squirrels on treadmills you insensitive clod!
Those morons in DC are paying attention to things other than the budget and the debt cap.
You are correct.
It's far closer to Feudalism than anything else.
in fact take your pick.....

gobs of them to choose from.
Although I see the latest Toshibas are a tiny under 18" screen
Toshiba Qosmio. Awesome quad i7 and huge screen goodness. The only suck part is that you can not get a back-lit keyboard.

Not really, they are required to spit out gum before a raid.

That is intentional. NO you cant use HTTPS. if you need that then go elsewhere.
Most Certianly you aren't as good of a troll as you'd like to believe.
That one? no.
a real industrial one? yes.

It's just fallen out of favor for home use.
Nope. enjoy the same speeds because 95% of the sites on the internet are connected to a pipe that is far slower than 10mbps.
