The problem I have with battery life is that when I go to an outdoor event I'm often wanting to use my phone for GPS, calling, and texting, so I don't want to turn the phone off. But when the battery can't last through the day I have to carry a second battery with me, which is lame and even then sometimes the phone won't last.
I can tell you as someone who works in the battery industry, there is nothing on the horizon that is going to dramatically increase the length of time you can use a phone without either increasing the physical size of the battery or reducing the amount of power the phone consumes. I have observed neither of these to be part of the current trend.
Yours, like most, only evaluates for seasonal changes in demand. I'm talking about larger changes in demand, such as we saw in 2008 and 2009. It is unlikely that the boom-bust cycle that we experience is likely to go away, and it is during the bust periods that this equipment, usually purchased/financed at boom-time prices, become a large drain on a company's resources. Either they have enormous liabilities to pay or they have fewer resources to apply toward promotions and product development, leading to costly losses in market share.
The daily operating costs of de-energized robots is still higher than the cost of no employees, and relative to overall expenses, loss rates for most companies are negligible - it's really more of a management issue.
Robotic warehouses are not the nirvana that so many claim they are. The problem comes when demand falls off (all demand is cyclical) and your competition lets people go while your left with the same fixed costs. This is happening right now in the industry I work in, where the former leader is plunging out of control from large infrastructure costs, particularly their very sophisticated warehouses, that their competition doesn't have.
The strategy also seems to overlook that thing where, you know, people don't wanna' pay sales tax. Here in California that amounts to an almost 10% savings for those consumers who violate state sales and use tax laws (of course, I don't).
If you truly believe the FBI is working for the greater good of humanity, then please read Classified Woman by whistle-blower Sibel Edmonds for an inside look at how they 'get business done.'
My only experience is running a small town convenient store.
I've long been under the impression that someone needs to take the Moneyball approach to venture capitalists, because what they seem to sell as a model they are looking for doesn't jive with the success stories that I'm familiar with (e.g. Wal-Mart, HP, Apple, Microsoft, etc.).
Every trade show I've ever been to had booth babes, and guys ogling and photographing them. It's not just the tech industry that is male dominated, it is the business world, and whether they enjoy it or not, the booth babes will be employed until this changes.
Ronald Reagan was the President, and as such was only granted semi-veto powers over Congress. It was the Democratic controlled Congress that wrote and passed those drug laws.
And somewhat more recently, in the 80s it was the Democrats who pushed the tougher drug laws on crack, which have resulted in the unjust imprisonment of millions of blacks.
Every day roughly 5 million bitcoins are sent, so every other day an equivalent of more than all of the bitcoins in existence are traded. So on a day when $25,000,000 worth of bitcoins were traded, $87,000 worth were stolen. To me, this is quite insignificant and certainly not indicative of any elevated risk. We could extrapolate this out further and say that in a 6 month period $4,500,000,0000 worth of bitcoins were traded and $87,000 worth were stolen.
I don't think you understand why people use Bitcoin in the first place - it's used to reduce online transaction fees. A virtual cash that crosses all international borders. It's not for investing in. This is why stability helps with spreading its use, and this is happening. This article demonstrates how spikes in volume are no longer having much of an affect on the exchange rate.
I thought one of them was from propeller shaft seal or seawater pump or something like that, but yes, the Naval Nuclear Power Program has more critical hours than anyone else and has never had any serious accidents, and certainly never released any fuel or fission byproducts to the environment, although procedurally they used to dump some pretty nasty stuff back in the day.
I was surface, but I imagine like most extended drydock maintenance periods there were holes cut in the hull either for repair or to allow for certain maintenance to be performed. Since they were in the yards, I'm amazed an Oxygen or acetylene tank didn't explode. One thing I do wonder about is what is there for fuel? On the ships I was on, maybe a chair could burn or a desktop, but there really wasn't much else to fuel a fire unless it was an electrical fire or a liquid fuel fire.

On AT&T I have found the latency to be unacceptable for VoIP usage.
Yup.

My understanding is that it is not a ban on taxing interstate trade, it is a ban on taxing the seller in an interstate transaction.

He was reelected 11 times, often by overwhelming margins. So it seems his constituents disagree with you.
The most useful substance never mass-produced.
Don't forget daisy wheel printers. (o;
The other day I noticed that the auto parts stores use dot matrix printers to print receipts.
And Washington state pirated a Bavarian Village.
Perhaps you could also point out a source for a Raspberry Pi.

It would also be nice if they could take care of the occasional reversed images.

My 1 ISP option is Charter, which didn't even make the report (but Sonic.net did?).

What will you do when your constituents want you to violate the Constitution?

I thank God I was never stuck in no-fuck.
