This is why I've been a contractor for the past 8 years. The company I work for is a job creator and companies would apparently rather save money by outsourcing work to me for higher compensation than I made as a full time employee. I'm a little confused by it but it has kept me solidly employed through the recession and since then.
Observers have recorded beyond doubt that there are regions of space where vast amounts of matter are packed into a small volume, achieving a density which no other theory than a black hole could explain.
That's as good as seeing it.
From most of what I've read, observers have recorded beyond doubt that there are regions of space that show effects (such as high amounts of acceleration) that no other accepted theory than a black hole could explain.
I would be tempted to say that business should be required to provide the same benefits to part time workers as to full time workers. This way it is cheaper to hire one full time worker than multiple part time workers. However I'm sure this would create a bunch of new problems I haven't thought of.
My problem is my typical setup involves three screens so I can do reference on one, development on another and display the app I'm debugging on the third. Sometimes I'll split screen those other monitors for other applications I need to use. Plus I often want to shrink windows so I can look at different parts at the same time. For now, Android just doesn't work for development for me.
As far as I know there are little controls there. How does this differ from a gun sold at a normal gun shop though? Once it is sold it enters private hands. My comment was addressing guns sold via TV vs those sold by a gun shop and I'm not seeing how this changes the initial sale process as far as background checks anyway.
From the article I referenced. I can't really judge which article is more accurate.
"Aside from its less controversial presence, the B-1 has a number of other advantages over its B-2 and B-52 counterparts. Its internal payload capacity is the highest at 75,000 pounds, which is 5,000 more than the B-52 and 25,000 more than the B-2. Reaching Mach 1.2, it is the only supersonic heavy bomber the U.S. possesses. It is also the cheapest to fly at $63,000 per hour of flight, compared with $72,000 for the B-52 and $135,000 for the B-2. Furthermore, as a testament to its preference among U.S. commanders, from October 2001 to September 2012 the B-1 flew 10,940 combat sorties over Iraq and Afghanistan versus the B-52's 2,891 and the B-2's 69. In fact, the B-1 dropped 40 percent of the bomb tonnage in the first six months of the war in Afghanistan, and, by 2012, had released 60 percent of the weapons overall. Now, it is carrying out a similar mission in Iraq."
My understanding is when the B-1 was first produced its reliability was abysmal. This was improved in more recent models, making it a very valuable asset. Though I don't have any articles to support this beyond the somewhat support from the quote above.
I wasn't comparing the B-1 to the A-10, but to the B-52. The A-10 is far and above the better aircraft for vehicle killing and small building destruction in my opinion. Where I can see the B-1 shining is taking out larger buildings and vehicle formations (though even formations I think the A-10 has nearly as good a capability). Also the B-1 can be on site faster, if likely less precise.
When we were fighting the Soviets in the cold war, the cost of the B-2 didn't mean as much. Trying to bomb a country that could have SAMs hidden in every patch of rock meant that B-2s had a much higher survivability rate for each mission. Who cares if it costs 10 times as much to maintain each B-2 (actually closer to 2x) if 20 times as many B-52s would get shot down during missions.
Today we have pretty strong air dominance in most any mission a bomber will be involved in and hostile countries have a fraction the number of SAMs available. When maintenance cost is priority over survivability, high tech loses out.
The B-1 is also an interesting case. With the ability to loiter for a long time on site at low speed and then dash to a target at supersonic speed. This provides an amazing ground support capacity that the B-52 can't match. On top of that, the B-1 actually costs less than the B-52 to operate: http://www.realcleardefense.co...
Radio control enthusiasts have known those batteries are very sensitive for years. Don't over heat them and don't shock them. Between the lowest bidder manufacturing these things and the number of crashes that occur in use of the hoverboards, this was probably bound to happen.
Especially since hands kill more people that rifles and shot guns put together? Handguns are a whole other category but long guns are not as bad as hands, or even knives.

Wow, you may have set a record in using anecdotal evidence to support a totally generalizing statement. Because four cars stopped (one per lane) to let you through, all Texans are nice? Let me counter that. Rick Perry is an idiot, hence all Texans are idiots. See, poor logic works both ways...
An AC said something stupid, therefore all ACs say something stupid, therefore all ACs say only stupid things, therefore this statement is only made up of stupid?
Not sure how keeping the engine at redline for the whole race like at Daytona compares to changing RPMs like Le Mans. Regardless I do think the endurance races have the greater engineering, even if NASCAR has its own unique engineering requirements.
One flight I was on was delayed for two hours due to the APU not working, then the air start cart they called to start the engines having a dead battery, then the next cart being too small and they jumped the first cart from the second (or something like that, I was 14) and finally were able to start the engines. After all that was done, the airplane was accelerating to what felt like full throttle even before pointing straight down the center line and made the most rapid ascent of any airliner I've ever been on.
Because improvement in processing capability and storage capability in the past decade mean that using coding tricks to conserve both is no longer necessary.
One problem is when you get to the specs written by companies that use the same protocols. On the civil GPS unit I had to communicate with, the specification on the CRC protocol left out half of what you needed to know. So we just used a CRC table for another application that produced results that the GPS unit accepted. Of course the original CRC code was about a decade old but... yay?

I don't want to be stuck with last century's operating system.
You mean the OS capable of user interaction with multiple programs simultaneously?
More than that for me. Even if it works perfectly, I don't want a game I have to download each time I play it. I want my game stored local.

With mobile phones, WiFi and the internet of things, I think you are probably right.
Mostly from what I've seen, custom hardware is being replaced by off the shelf components with customizable software.
I know what the "Informative" tag means.
Informative irony.
Bah, just funnel that water into the reactor and use the heat to evaporate all of it.

Still has to go through federal background checks. If those are effectively performed, we wont have more guns in criminal hands anyway.

Have you been to a race? The quantity of alcohol consumed by the cars pales next to the fans.
Not sure how keeping the engine at redline for the whole race like at Daytona compares to changing RPMs like Le Mans. Regardless I do think the endurance races have the greater engineering, even if NASCAR has its own unique engineering requirements.
I think that is somewhat dependent on the terrain around the airport and a bigger issue after the airplane leaves the ground.
One flight I was on was delayed for two hours due to the APU not working, then the air start cart they called to start the engines having a dead battery, then the next cart being too small and they jumped the first cart from the second (or something like that, I was 14) and finally were able to start the engines.

So occasionally airliners to "floor it".

I ended up dropping premium channels because they did not work with the cable card. Charter's loss for not working along.
