How is that illegal? Do we need government further micromanaging businesses? How has that ever helped the economy? It is his view as CEO that people are going to buy less pizza under Obama. Even though we don't see it, he does. Let his business sink or swim on its own merits.
Personally, I think it is ridiculous that he is making a political statement at the expense of his employees. But from a business point of view (political posturing aside) I does make business sense. PPACA (Obamacare) is a radical change for many businesses. Although I don't agree with these CEOs, Many of them truly believed that Romney was somehow going to heal the economy and end PPACA. Even if Romney didn't achieve that, businesses in general would have had less perceived uncertainty under Romeny and taken more risks in the form of investment and expansion giving a measurable boost to the economy.
More likely there was nothing to get anyone excited about voting for Romney. If you look at the numbers voting this time around vs 2008 and 2004, it is obvious that many stayed home. Romney's campaign was a ruthless dictatorship with zero grass roots. I am not surprised when I hear about screw ups like this. Obama didn't do much better in grass roots either. He failed to sell out stadiums too, but at least could fill them half way whereas Romney was lucky to fill the first few rows on the playing field with the stadium seats completely empty.
A lease typically has an allowance on miles, 24k-36k depending on the car. Good tires can last that long, and I've gone over 50k on brakes. You get nailed to the wall in fees if you go over so you will not be saving much if you plan on leasing an EV for gas savings on long daily commutes.
The controller raises a lot of interesting possibilities (though it's a little bulky for my tastes). And, unlike some, I think that the $300-$350 price tag is fine...
That is the same price as an iPad mini. It is going to be a hard sell IMO. Every single one of my nephews and nieces have ditched their DSes for an iTouch long ago. If given a choice they would take the iPad mini without a second thought.
In all seriousness I'm glad the're doing it. Progress can't happen until someone puts forth the capital and risk. Surely the parties involved can afford it even if it utterly fails and 100% of the investment is lost. At least someone is doing something tangible that could lead to other, perhaps better developments in the future.

Why does that matter? Do you think they are monitoring the access point?
MAC addresses don't get sent beyond the broadcast domain.
Why wouldn't they? I doubt that open access points at random residences are being monitored but I'd bet every Starbucks, McDonalds, and airport that offers free wifi are being monitored and MAC addresses being stored. Most of these are run by monolithic organizations, one of the largest being one that allowed three letter government agencies to snoop on their customers. Firewall logs typically show DHCP negotiation along with requesting MAC addresses.
"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." -Woodrow Wilson, after signing the Federal Reserve into existence
If a bunch of startups do move here, it's going to be short-lived because cool, hip, young employees aren't going to stick around this cesspool for long.
Why is cool, young, and hip important? I'm only curious as these tend to be the most problematic in my experience, especially the latest batch.
Things like Tent City suck, and we like when our criminals get sent there.
What about the innocent, but accused? You did know that the majority of Tent Citie's population are merely accused and awaiting trial, right?
But I'm wasting my time. You're exactly the kind of authoritarian asshole that keeps any sort of sensible person out of Phoenix. I hope you get falsely accused of a crime in August.
You sound as if these inmates are getting injured. Despite what you have been told in the news, the human body adapts to desert climates just fine when hydrated. It is also a crime in AZ to deny water to anyone who asks. As far as I know nobody has ever been denied access to water at this jail. Those awaiting trial are required to be charged with a crime and have bond set by a judge just like any other jail. Jail isn't supposed to be comfortable. I don't see the problem here.
Between all of the locked bootloaders, lackluster Nexi offering, buggy outdated software, draconian carrier restrictions, etc. The love is gone. Android was fun from the G1 up until the Driod X with eFuse. From that point forward it has become apparent that Android and every major player behind it is trying its best to be like Apple, but not in the way that matters. It is sad really. I love Android and the idea of it, but it is being savagely raped by those that created it and profess love for it, much the same way George Lucas raped Indiana Jones and Star Wars. For me, I'm most likely going to buy the iPhone 5, mainly as I know what I'm getting, a solid stable smartphone with the added bonus of a middle finger pointed firmly to Google, Motorola, Samsung, HTC and Verizon. Verizon in the form of the middle finger already given to them by Apple. Doesn't mean I like Apple, but that I have come to the conclusion that they are the only ones still capable of twisting the arms of the true evil here, the carriers.
You can always set a price dear enough for something that in PRACTICAL terms it cannot be licensed. That is what Google chose to do instead of working with Apple on reasonable terms and doing something best for the users.
Regardless of terms though the fact Apple had to ever think about terms is why they wanted to move away from Google, so there was no worry that in the future terms might get even worse.
Consumer PCs have been chasing multimedia over the last two decades and have for the most part arrived 5 years ago. For the first time a cheap modern PC is able to render anything imaginable on a 1080P display. Human ears and eyesight is not getting any better anytime soon leaving consumer hardware only one last direction to go. Size. Apple saw this coming a decade ago, MIcrosoft is doing what they do best, playing catchup.
I don't see any on your site. Prove to us that what you are planning is even remotely possible and you may get some support. As others have said here, you are probably better off just buying a diesel SUV if a SUV is actually required. No amount of wizbang HUDs, information displays, etc are going to compensate for the energy required to move such a massive vehicle.
Come up with a viable flywheel solution and my interest will be piqued much more.
Windows 98 was just a point release of 95 (4.0 to 4.1) ME was just another point release of 95 and the last of the non-NT consumer line. Windows 8 is a point release of Vista: 5.0 Windows 2000 5.1 XP 6.0 Vista 6.1 Windows 7 6.2 Windows 8
I was like you. I started my first job in computers at 19. I have a passion for technology and ran circles around my older co-workers. Despite being the fastest at solving problems I was among the first to get sacked when layoffs came up. Now that I am near 40 I do occasionally see a younger version of myself and get easily annoyed. Mostly because the younger version of me cannot see the bigger picture and properly prioritize the best use of his talent. You see yourself as helping by changing the BIOS settings, the older folks see you as mostly bouncing off the walls and occasionally getting something important right. I know the 19 year old version of myself isn't going to understand a word of this but I'll give it a go nonetheless. If I have any advice it would be to try as hard as you can see things from their perspective through a lens of maturity. What seems like an hour to you, seems like 10 minutes to them. Try to learn what is really important more than what you think is important. You are like a Dukati in rush hour traffic, zipping between cars is only going to piss people off. Going the same pace as everyone else, and occasional passing the slow poke in style isn't going to bother anyone but the slow poke. You making a system faster and more efficient isn't very important if it has a side effect of crashing at 2am on a Sunday night a few weeks later.
These things do pay for themselves in more ways than power savings. I have yet to have any downtime with a the few I've deployed in harsh environments. For me it is the peace of mind and the trips I didn't have to make to power cycle a router.
If you haven't seen it, go watch The Persuaders and see how advertisers focus more on emotional connections rather than the product they are selling. The very same emotional connections cults use. After watching this it is much easier to see why these flame wars exist and that participating in them is much like participating in a Christians vs atheists thread.
Then MS should recompile IE9 to run in XP. Chrome and Firefox seem to handle HTML5 just fine on XP. There is absolutely nothing in the recent versions of Windows that are critical to business. The only reasons that exists are ones manufactured by Microsoft. I'm not saying Windows 7 is bad, just that it isn't vital to business in the same way XP was. MS asking businesses to upgrade from XP is like Boeing trying to get Southwest to upgrade their functional fleet of 737s to newer models because features such as tricolor LED interrior lighting is better while Southwest is still enjoying a larger than anticipated ROI on their existing fleet that shows very little sign of tapering off real soon.
XP was exactly what business needed a decade ago and for the most part it still has a lot of utility. When the time comes that benefits of a newer version outweighs ROI of the current, it will make business sense to upgrade.
If you are a tourist you have already decided that full naked body scans and groping are ok with you. If you were careless enough to lose your documentation and you get stopped by police you will likely have to visit a police station until they learn that your flight & hotel reservation checks out and send you on your way to your consulate for replacement documentation. You know, like nearly every other country in the world that actually concerns themselves with who crosses their borders.
A computer operating system requires a bootstrapper to load it into memory before it can run. An engine on an automobile or aircraft requires rotation by an external source before it can power itself. A business requires capital before it can generate its own. A social media site requires 'social media' before it can launch.
See Bitcoin and the number of large scale breaches for an example of what can go wrong. No matter how secure the 'vote' is, it all breaks down when what ever human interfacing component that handles the 'vote' gets compromised. Something as simple as voting should adhere to the KISS principle as much as possible and remain as transparent and non-digital as possible.
I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how.

Price has little to do with it. Look at sales of bottled water if you need further convincing.
YOU CAN'T BLAME THIS ON JUST *ONE* PRESIDENT.
Nice try though.
