Because you will not be able to install your system wide Windows 7 image on it. If you ACTUALLY did IT for a corporation you would have already knew this. No corporation is going to run windows 10 for at least 3 years.
I could install a subaru or even a Corvette engine in a toyota in a weekend. Just because you lack the education and skills on how to do it does not mean it's "impossible" or even difficult.
Engine swaps are actually quite simple to those of us that have the education. And they are highly common in the automotive world.
Start there and buy the other parts. anyone semi competent can build one in under an hour. Guarentee MSI bare bones systems will not have secure boot locked and enforced on you.
"When you create a car like the Tesla Model S you've eliminated all maintenance and destroyed the entire service division of your dealers"
Honestly this is a good thing. Although the Tesla will not go 200,000 miles without any problems, you still need maintenance. Brake pads, you still have hydraulic systems that need servicing like the brake system you are supposed to change the fluid on every 2 years... yes all cars should have this done.
Then you have the states that if you did not design the car to be soaked in salt water for 6 months a year will rod out like mad. Salted road winters can destroy a car in short order.
Exactly, I'm just curious as to what the corperate spin will be and why they are hell bent on not making electric cars but regular cars with electric shoehorned in.
There is zero reason for a transmission and motor, 4 motors at the wheels is where they need to to be but, it's far more profitable to just slap an electric drivetrain in an existing car and sell it.
the GM "skateboard" platform design was the most innovative system I have ever seen from GM, why are we not seeing the engineering that was put into that used for new car designs?
I understand the siren song of just putting electrics in a standard ICE car, but all the advances from the Skateboard would put GM ahead of Tesla if they were put into use.
Why has GM ignored the platform they spent so much money researching?
American banks have ALWAYS sucked at security in the world of the credit card. that CCV number on the back of the card is the dumbest thing ever and offers zero security.
A dirty bomb is easy, in fact you dont even need it to explode, TNT can do that for you. Put some nasty high radiation waste in a suitcase with about 6 sticks of dynamite. BOOM no real damage except for spreading a lot of nasty crap for a few miles all over a city.
You dont have to worry about them making a bomb that can take out NYC, you have to worry about them making something that has enough radiation to cause a large chunk of the population to start having their skin melt off.
And even then it is not really a worthwhile attempt, That would be easy to detect coming across any borders. It's the guys figuring out gas or bio contamination to wrap around an explosive to spread in a city. We don't have detector for that kind of stuff, and some of it can be easily made inside the USA.
All this grandstanding about nukes is bullshit that makes for good headlines and nothing more. The morons in Washington need to stop with their anti-nuke fetishes and pay attention to real attack vectors.
If step 1 is not kill all the current warlords and government leaders it will fail.
An uneducated population is a lot easier to control than an educated one, These corrupt and evil leaders that have kept Africa in a constant state of turmoil and fear will not have anything to do with improving the education of the people.
Because if you educate them, they will learn that they are being abused and rise up. 100 men with machine guns are no match for 1,000,000 angry people with rocks and sticks.
Not socially acceptable? The Super Rich do it all the time. Go ahead and ask one of the Kennedy's if they are OK with their daughters marrying the servants.
Just because the poor people cant do it, does not mean it's not wildly popular and has been for a very long time. That was the basis behind all the outrage when Charles, Prince of Wales married not only a commoner but an AMERICAN commoner...

the lawyers will make out like bandits, but the victims will most likely get a 10% off coupon.
"Can I connect a personal recorder without the cable box? No."
Yes. you need a cablecard ready recorder.
I did. Honda recall they painted the roof on their dime at the dealership.

Oh yes SUCH a high markup....
Ignore that the HTC M8 and the soon to be released M9 cost as much as the iphone 6 plus.
But then we have the Samsung S6 that will only cost....... $899 to $1199
So what it your point again? ALL cellphones are expensive as hell.
They might as well asked the CEO of Tim Hortons about the future of undersea exploration.
Lyft CEO doesn't know shit about cars or the automotive industry, why the hell is anyone asking his opinion as if he is an expert?

And profitable is job #1 at GM.

Also for your own education.....

Buy this book if you want to learn how insecure 90% of the lock designs in use are.
Car keys and house keys are there only to keep your neighbors honest.
Why cares about starting the car, you steal everything inside it or tow it to part it out.
stolen cars are impossible to sell, parts on the other hand are mostly untraceable.
Sadly you will stick with Comcast because you have no other choice for broadband internet.
Ahh the Mp MAN... that thing was a nightmare. Mine is in the basement somewhere rotting.
Gaming is pretty damn serious. Steam brings me everything I want to play.
Plus they got HBO GO to work without cable, something that google and microsoft was unable to do.
Yup, most popular locks on homes have a very very limited number of key combinations.
Cars are worse. It's not uncommon to find another car that your key can unlock.
Actually an apple employee will show up and push you off the cliff if you dont jump. It's a part of the customer care program.

Rich fuckers need to pay their fair share. Plus maybe it will make them drive less asshole-ish.
But it will never make a BMW 7 series use it's turn signals.
You are incorrect. The USA and CIA dont kill warlords, they replace them with our preferred warlords.
Very large difference.
Nope, they are 100% peaceful with each other.
