While the Humvee is a good mil truck. The H2 is basically a Suburban and the H3 is basically a POS that was a failed attempt to capitalize on the desire of those who wished to own a H2 but couldn't afford one.
There is irony that a Chinese company now owns the brand, but I am not going to back that up with how.
And I speak from experience. I am a member of the Special Police Search Team. All we do is search for missing people believed to not be involved in a crime. Mainly it's children (DMD) and other "high risk' individuals (brain injury's, etc), lot's of them have "tracking units" (like Project Life Saver) of some sort. AND EVERY TIME ONE DOES NOT WORK it's because someone forgot to change the batteries. We have meetings and meetings on the subject and do free battery checks to any of our PLSA (project life saver) clients. It's VERY SAD.... We lost a boy in a lake because his mother forgot to change the batteries in his (off the shelf tracker) tracker.
Like everything else it's up to the end user to make sure the system is working property. I like to toss a SPOT Messenger with tracking mode ON in my son's (who is 7) bag before he heads off to play with his friends.
I am more then happy to answer questions on the subject, just contact me for more.
Fantasy ends where reality begins, eh? It's a but less invasive then Gibson's "jacking in" by plunging something into our heads. But hey, Neromancer is still really cool!
Best I can do: inside Wikipedia is EVERYTHING and outside a death camp is EVERYTHING. in one is removed from the other. Of course in this instances there might be other slight differences. But as Victor Fankel said (paraphrased) "suffering is suffering".
All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I fhuk like you wanna fhuk, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not.
I mean if you are in the market new computer that runs OS X, why not spend a $1,199 (apple.com) on a 20" iMac?
A $900 desktop from Quo, a decent 20" monitor, good keyboard and mouse set will run close to that with out the fear that the next update will kill your system.
One a 13" MacBook with 2 gig's RAM. HDMI to my Sony 37" and sound to Yamaha surround sound. New MacOS update gave me like 1900x resolution.
Works and looks great.
I had been bluetooth mousing it, but that had issues. BTW Magjaic Jack caused my MacBook to crash EVERY TIME I put the computer to sleep (good bye crappy VOIP).
You buy a nice convertible car and you are out driving it around. The sky is cloudy and it looks looks like rain. What do you do and who responsibility is it to put the top up?
1) Do you wait for the car manufacturer to install a rain sensor (now that you are on the road and you see that it sometimes rains, that would have been a good option to get) that will automatically put the roof up when it senses the first rain drop?
2) Do you pull over before it rains and put the top up to be safe?
3) Do you drive around with the top down blaming the car maker for designing a car that can get wet and/or doesn't keep the rain out automatically all the time forever?
How is computer security different (metaphorically speaking)? I am sorry, but we all know it's up to the user.
Double wrong. Your argument seems to be that things that are similar are nearly the same. While factually true that "overall, luck is no more important to poker than it is to investing in stocks or selling insurance" due to variables at hand.
The shorter the game or run, the high an impact any instance of luck will have.
As in the less varibales you have (poker has far few varibales then the stock market) the grater an impact luck will have one a single move, hand or stock purchase
If world stability was even remotely important we would "solve this problem" like we solve the non-existent WMD problem in Iraq. It's all about oil or revenge (Iraq and Afghanistan, respectively).
Live like you will own up (Yes hon, I was surfing porn, no I didn't mean to click on that ONE). OR do like I do, use Google as a spell check, that'll throw 'em.
Ok, I'll admit it, I watched only about 1/2 of the first episode. BUT anytime you have a show staring killer military robots from the future who can't hit a large reasonably stationary target is destined to fail even if the characters are really good. Remember this little thing called "suspension of disbelief"
I have to think the days of running up to the enemy (who is shooting at you) and punching them while you holding and assault rifle are over (Think 1980's GI Joe cartoon).
The show had great production quality and apparently the scrip was good. But you have these "kids" running away from super predators and and narrowly escaping EVERY TIME. It gets old and cold. We love the Terminator movies, they are 2 hours long, loud and fast and even the narrow escapes are believable in the setting.
The final reason that the show was canceled beyond the "suspension of disbelief" issue is that Networks really only like crime or medical drama. This type of show has no place in the homogeneity of regular television. Are we all not disappointed that a show we really like is canceled to quickly though many seem to like it?
In the end it's just TV. I am going to go for a walk.
....that I am not held to the TOS of anything I use. I just don't care, I don't read them, I don't follow them and so far it has worked out pretty well for me. I suspect most people are the same. I think that it's silly that so many products that are easily available and many of them are free have long and basically unreadable TOS. I know they are enforced only for the exceptional case and not in any sort of universal way. My belief goes like this; if I don't read your TOS they don't apply to me. I would like to try this in court, frankly I don't think any cares about what I am doing that much. Well, time will tell.
to think that the people who bring you war will adhere to some sort of guideline for robots in combat. For example: Currently you can not (illegal) shoot people with a.50 cal M2. I have seen it done though. Rolling in to Baghdad regular units in both the Army and Marines shot at anything that moved along the HWY (NOT all non-coms had "left"). Sight all the reasons you think the two would be different, but it won't change the fact that WAR IS HELL.
I may or may not have been involved in some part of the "contingency of government" operation where Cheney was during the days right after 9/11 and I may or may not have been in a bunker with him and I may or may not know where that was. AND they may or may not have gotten the location right.
Yes, there are Chinese manufacturing plants that do sell some items direct for 1/2 what the item can be bought for and there are a few other ways items can be had at 1/2 price such as being outdated, discontinued, recalled, reported damaged or reported stolen. Of course there are exceptions, but most of those fall under the umbrella statement "fell off the truck". I have worked in retail management as buyer and I have worked in retail manufacturing. That's what I am talking about.
You are in a niche market and a small contributor (on global scale - you are no Radiohead giving away an album). I am in the same boat. I give away stuff both online and in my brick n mortar business; Neither give-a-way types have helped me make money on the stuff I do charge money for. The system is stacked so the creator is besieged by people A) to lazy to create their own [stuff] and B) since they don't understand creating, they don't think it has value to pay for.
I have had the experience of talking to people who truly do not think stores should mark up items from wholesale, they think that any amount you mark up the item from cost you are over charging them.
Piracy is perpetrated by thieves or the ignorant and selfish.

Use alligators, they are easier to get a hold in north America. I can get you some at half price, I have cousin in Miami.

Actually we find out who the pilots are and shot them on the way into work.
