No one has discussed the hub and spoke system used by the airlines. Travelers have to travel to an airline's hub, such as Chicago or Atlanta to catch a connecting flight. The flights all need do arrive in a short period of time, so passengers can switch to their next flight. Then they all need to take off in a small window of time. Spreading the times out would result in published schedules with long layovers, which travelers would avoid. So, the schedules have 30 flights taking off in a short period of time and that is not realistic. However, all an airline has to do is push away from the gate on time. It doesn't matter they are number 15 to take off, with 10 of planes in line being from their own company. The operations improvement needed would be more direct flights. Publishing padded schedules is probably the least worst thing airlines do, since they at least they reflect reality.
If the self-checkout terminal is configured as a POS, then it is still receiving security updates: https://www.zdnet.com/article/... Support goes through April 9, 2019, so time is running out.
Based on the size of the unit, it looks like there is plenty of room to add the capability to record not only your current location, but a record of where and when you traveled, along with the speeds. What a treasure trove of information to be exploited, stolen, and misused. All paid for by you! My plate will be NFW-999 (No F****** Way Ever!)
Rather than the fart smell, how about some cheap perfume. Let the porch pirates explain that to their girlfriends. (One of the thieves was muttering about how his girlfriend would be wondering who was in his car)
I volunteer at a K-8 school and we just installed a new phone system. The system uses VOIP, with the hardware running on a virtual machine. However, I am running a phone wire (Cat-3 actually) to the office for the fax machine so we can bypass the old wiring which is a mess using 66 blocks. Educational records are still transmitted by fax.
I have desk that I can raise and lower. It is most helpful after lunch when I'm fighting the food coma that usually occurs. It is nice to move around and stretch your legs, but I could survive without it. A nice option, but not strictly necessary.
The strength of the earth's gravitational field varies. If you are using a Kibble balance to calibrate your weights, how do you compensate for that? Your kilogram mass will vary from location to location.

From FTA: "While other leak-detection technology exists, it mostly relies on acoustics to find leaks–something that can work in suburbs, but doesn’t work well in noisy city centers. Some locations use plastic pipes, which can’t use acoustic detection at all. This is true in much of the South. “This basically means that for cities in Georgia or Virginia, the way they find leaks is to just wait until the water main breaks,” he says." This invention sounds like a significant improvement of existing technology.
Am I missing something? Is there a full article? Who supports this? Amazon? Shopping Sites? Banking or Investment? It seems that more effort could have been put into this post.
I worked at the Linwood water filtration plant, one of two in the City of Milwaukee. There was a North and a South side section of the plant and the slowest rate the plant could handle was 30 million gallons per day. That doesn't count how much the Howard Avenue plant was pulling. Lake Michigan has one quadrillion gallons of water, that's 1,000,000,000,000,000 gallons. http://blog.livnfresh.com/how-... If this group was truly concerned about Lake Michigan, they would be complaining about the untreated sewage that MMSD (Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewage District) discharges during heavy rainfalls. The city of Milwaukee has combined sewers (sanitary and storm) so that heavy rainfall overwhelms the treatment plants. The deep tunnel system can't always hold enough, thus the "diversions" The city of Milwaukee doesn't want to spent the money to separate their sewers like most everyone else has.
Actually, I do, but cursive is getting rarer and rarer. It's not even taught in schools anymore. They cite lack of time because so much of what they have to teach comes from above (The state) It's gotten to the point that college students don't know cursive. We may have to train "translators" to read older documents one day.
Hey! Don't say bad things about Sears. I really like the store at my local mall. The parking lot is always empty so I can park close to the door, cut through the store (don't have to dodge anyone walking around) and get to the store I want to go.
You should have posted under your own name. Everything you said is true and it applies to CD's too. No monthly fee, and if I want my music in FLAC instead of mp3, I can just rerip it. For all the complaining people do about RIAA and MPAA, they are amazingly trusting about having their content remain available.
They are getting better. I posted on February 20, 2009 that it took Adobe 18 days to release a patch for a critical flaw. I think this URL will get you to the discussion: https://slashdot.org/comments....
When I read "Apple said it would never intentionally "degrade the user experience to drive customer upgrades," I laughed out loud. I wonder if the Apple spokesperson was able to get this out with a straight face. They don't design their phones to make repairs harder either...
I think the country has their head up and locked. I tried to register for the Times so I could read TFA. They told me to enter a valid email address. Their form wouldn't accept my.net address as valid.
Amazon is very much willing to work with you with regard to damaged products. I ordered a thermos that Amazon sent in a padded envelope, which did not adequately protect it. The dents were cosmetic, so we agreed to a partial refund (product had been discontinued) Hopefully, they used this information to designate boxes as the necessary packaging. Also, USPS is the absolute worst for package handling. They not only damage packages in transit, they will jam a package into your mailbox whether it fits or not. Hopefully Amazon is working with them to improve in this area.
I reread the original posting and I don't see where it says that they have refused to update their skills. From the posting, "Quite honestly, they do not have any experience other than reinstalling Windows, binding something to the domain and the occasional driver installation -- and are more than willing to admit this." The posting also states, "Given they still have to do work (imaging computers and fixing basic issues)..." it seems they are providing value to the organization. You also made a statement about "limited time" as a reason for getting rid or them. IANAL, but I'm sure a good employment attorney could twist those words into an age discrimination complaint. If I had mod points, I would not downgrade you, I would use the opportunity to bring up the points I am making now.
One day, this could be you. How would you like to be told, you are no longer useful, and although you have many years of loyal service, we are getting rid of you. We're not going to give someone who works well in this company a chance to retrain, but are going to roll the dice by bringing in a new hire. (Who might quit after we finish training them for a better paying job)
The greatest danger I can see is a tech savvy burglar using the device to see if the house is occupied. One could do the same thing with a "smart" water meter. If someone can determine that no one is home, they can break in and take all the time they want. This may or may not be possible, but you can't really limit yourself when thinking about how technology can be misused.

The plan sounds grand, but are there buyers for 5 million cars?

A few months before someone has an exploit? You are very optimistic. How about weeks or days?
