Remove your air dam and those will reverse.. the Trans AM had fantastic aerodynamics applied to it. The air dam underneath was big enough to make a difference at speeds and the long nose almost underpans the front of the car.
Too bad GM were complete idiots and make a lowbrow Camaro instead of a 2010 WS6 Trans Am...... A real muscle car.
That would require the entire populace to stop being stupid and embrace the Metric system. Something that just will not happen.
Our education system is incapable of handling such a dramatic change.
Note: I recently threw out most of my SAE tools. I have all metric in my garage I have not seen a need for a 3/8ths inch wrench for over 5 years. Yet my 13mm and 15mm wrenches are used on every car I own from a 1983 classic motorcycle to the 1986 classic car, up to my 2004 daily driver..
In fact when I go to the hardware store and buy hardware for a project.. I skip the SAE bins and head to the metric bins. You can get metric lag bolts and everything in between... Except they only stock Chrome SAE... WTF is that!
It will never happen. Corporations DESPERATELY do not want IT to rise back to a "skilled" level where they have to pay premium wages for it again. They want IT to be the next Factory job where you get low wages and bad hours...
Requirements = higher pay rates. And companies dont want that. They want IT people they can hire for $10-$13 an hour USD and keep them cheap. They dont want to hire a guy that is highly skilled and educated for $23.00 an hour and higher... Because he is hard to replace, while the MCSE kid that will take a paltry $11.00 an hour and think he hit he jackpot is very easy to replace.
This is why you dont see companies demanding certifications and education levels... Because they will be forced to double pay rates. and they do not want to do that.
They already did. Go look up "full metal panic" It's 800,000,000X better than ANYTHING hollywierd could come up with. It has a great plotline, very good writing and even though it's translated to english it still has all the impact.
Than those companies need to give up. places like http://www.vai.org/ are doing research and giving it free to the world.
Sometimes "the greater good" is better than a profit margin.
And the funny part is the best scientists are being drawn to the Institutes that allow them to do research without reporting to the board and justifying profit margins.
I have yet to find anyone that has went to college to work on genetics and cure diseases because "I'm gonna be stinking rich" they do it because they want to help humanity.
It's the Business degrees that whore the world for dollars.
2. People can't handle choices. If you give them a device with only a few buttons, then it's like a microwave and they're happy.
AMERICANS cant handle choices. Go to Japan, they have some great devices that let you do a lot. Those products don't come here because Japanese designers are certain that Americans are "dumb".
I'm not trolling, this is a REAL perspective of Japanese manufacturers about american consumers.
The BEST DVD recorder I ever bought was a JVC that was available in Japan only. IT even allowed me to adjust the menus and had a DV deck in it that transferred the video from DV to the DVD-R with an edit list, plus let me capture frames for backgrounds and enter text for menus.... It was NEVER available in the USA.
It's an adaptor for the dock connector on the bottom of the iPad. It's very compact (much smaller than most USB SD readers). Being able to bring it with me on vacation to sync photos means I can leave my notebook at home, and to me that's *HUGE*.
I dont understand that. I take 18 megapixel images, On "vacation" I take nearly 1000 photos. even the biggest flash sized ipad cant candle the photos I take. It's why I own a imagetank.
Are you taking tiny 4 megapixel images, or only taking maybe a handful? then get a 8gig SDHC card and not worry about offloading.
The ONLY use I can see a iPad for in photography is to look at the photos. and Honestly, I dont want to do that on vacation.
I have several network Projectors that will display content over the network from the laptop. and Panasonic is currently working on a iPad app to display the presentation on the projector wireless.
IT's simply that the projector manufacturers forgot to design their drivers/apps.
at the time? I have tried 4 separate Android based tablets recently. They all STILL suck horribly. Battery life is good for the better ones, but they all STILL use a horribly out of date Android OS release with no plans to offer any upgrade.
I'd say it's not. 90% of all android tablets are "not upgradeable" or ship with a horribly out of date OS version. Android 1.5 or 1.6? Come on. No android app store..
It might as well come with windows CE installed.
Ship the dang thing with a current OS and get certification with Google to include the app store.
I care where I get it. I've been getting more and more used instead of new. There are a lot of "trendy" types that sell things use at a insane rate. I got a iPhone 3Gs that was like new for $159.00 off ebay for her used.
I buy everything used now. you get more value for the dollar.
I end up with more stuff and more money. It's a Win-Win.
No they dont. Most of these idiots put the SCADA systems on the internet.
I know of two water filtration plants that the SCADA system is protected by "PC anywhere" they have a PC that bridges both the private network and the internet.. and it's a FRICKING WINDOWS PC running PC anywhere.
This is not uncommon. and usually due to complete idiots that make up the management of the operation wanting to dial in and monitor employees.
Disable the safetys and feed line power to a generator out of sync. It will blow up quite spectacularly. I saw this happen to a old Civil Defense 2000KW generator.... the safety systems failed and the generator kept drifting away from the line because the motor was trying like hell to turn at more than 60 cycles. the boom was heard for nearly 1/4 mile in every direction and is ripped open the Semi trailer like it was tinfoil.
So remember that the day they charge some 16 year old from Kentucky with high treason for having and deploying a Weapon Of Mass Destruction because his toy virus got loose and deleted every *.doc and *.xls file on windows computers across most of the globe.

Agreed. But corporations dont want you. They want dirt cheap mediocre labor.
It's why instead of hiring a seasoned developer they outsource it for 1/5th your cost to another place and then live with the sub-par result.

Doom failed because they chose to use horrible Wrestlers that turned into really bad actors...
A rewrite by a real sci-fi writer and some decent casting (NO! NOT VIN DIESEL!) It could have worked well.
IT could be worse.... It could be a starship troopers badly animated in video game graphics.

SO we get to enjoy bloated bios now?
YAY! Slower boot times!
How exactly can the PR and marketing department assist a mile underwater?
use their bodies to plug up the well?
Honestly it's the best use for marketing and PR people....

The driver cant send email or twitter yet.... It is lacking in features.
Because the projector makers are not using the "widely used open standards that are
readily available"
They typically make dumb executive decisions to create a closed protocol.
Next we will see studies on how used sales STEAL money from the developers...
you know the game makers are wanting to do that. They HATE used sales.
Hell I know writers that HATE used book stores.
It's all about greed, nothing more.
40??
Last time I saw one of those cards it used SDHC minis and the guy had EVERY DS title made on it including Japan only releases.
The DS is delicate.. I'm on my 4th.
