Do you think that funny little dictator in North Korea could be suspended in air by lasers while he roasts like pig? Last night the Heat Magic basketball game seats at court side went for $25,000 per seat. I'll bet people would pay as much to watch that freak broil.
Yes a successful suit can be filed against any young child. The parents will be the ones paying the tab unless somehow they did not have legal custody or control of that child. The joy of it all is that their homeowners insurance may have to foot the bill in the end.
American workers often lose their health and their lives as companies that have big money have influenced our law makers. Getting sued for wrongful death of a worker is far better money wise than creating a safe work place. Workman's Compensation is so pitiful with the stingy sums payed out for injured workers and they often are not allowed access to the courts as Workman's Comp laws block that right.
I believe that computer driven high frequency trading has been illegal for quite a few years. If it was an illegal practice then the brokerage house is liable for all of the damage done by their programs failure even if an outsider altered the program. Let the light shine in and let's see what was going on.
Apparently sitting harms health. One company has people standing on slow moving treadmills for the entire work day while using a chest level desk designed for standing. Weight and health issues apparently are addressed by this type of technique.
The article is correct. Other OSs stand ready to displace Microsoft but that isn't even the point. The desktop and even the laptop PC market is shrinking. Other devices now attract the publics' interests. It seems that in a rather spoiled society you can hide a computer inside a cell phone or even a telephone and all is well unless the end user is informed that he is using a computer. You can even hide a computer in w wrist watch and the owner will use it every day as long as he never gets the point that he is using a computer. In this "other device" season Linux tends to dominate nicely. To get the big money companies need to get into this new market.
Many fields need little or no updating unless long periods of time elapse. That being the case most electronic texts could sell for $1. and still reward their creators. The idea that every college needs a different text for English 101 is absurd. And the notion that college has to cost money is also bonkers. One good teacher could teach English 101 for an entire nation over the net. And high schools and even lower grades could use one teacher for an entire nation as well. In essence each class would only need someone to keep order in the lower grades and the simple message is learn and pass the tests or get ready to live in poverty and dig ditches. Those who want to learn can not be stopped and those that do not want to learn can rarely be saved.
I wonder how we haven't heard of people with gun carry permits being stopped after one of these machines scan them. After all the machine does not know that you have a permit.
In some areas a scan of students cars coming into the parking lot would reveal quite a few firearms within vehicles. Both guns and dope are often sold by students one to another.
The advent of the microphone and the radio really did murder the music industry. There was a time when the first item you saw when entering just about any store was sheet music. That was a dead industry due to the microphone and radio. Then the family bands vanished which limited the renewal of new musicians entering the field. The orchestra pits in theaters vanished when the film industry figured out how to record sound on film. Large dance and night club bands became a thing of the past due to the microphone.
Lately school systems have almost abandoned school bands to restrain expenses therefore that source of musicians is now history. We also see only wealthy youngsters going to college and conservatories as the pay for musicians can not justify the cost of their education.
And it goes further. We now have lost our instrument factories to Japan, China, Taiwan and India. The historic giants in brass instruments such as Conn, Olds and King now all belong to Steinway. Electronic alternatives to traditional instruments are also steering musicians away from brass and woodwinds. Very few people could even name one current American maker of woodwinds much less any substantial such enterprise.
In other words the music industry is is deep, deep trouble.
Traditional colleges are probably dead meat due to failure to control costs. Online colleges haven't gotten a clue so far. After all does English 101 need to be any different from college to college and state to state? Standardize the course and make the testing such that a machine can grade it and the entire course could be almost free.
If we make the texts electronic one might earn an entire degree for under $500 while improving quality compared to current methods and standards.
If teachers with kids confront the fact that they will probably take a huge hit when they send their spawn to college perhaps the job will get done. But as things now stand we can't even get much in the way of old sheet music online for free. For example everything prior to 1935 should be out of copyright by now and yet next to none of it is on the net for free.
Actually there is a bit of relevant history. Certain encryption programs have been declared "munitions" in the past. The purpose was to keep those programs from being exported. But the same laws could be used to keep drone guidance programs from being sold to anyone but the US government and perhaps even grant seizure powers such that the government gets all the existing software for free.
Also it would be very, very difficult to get any data about the military using that software so if the creators of that software are told the military suddenly no longer uses the software they would be forced to toddle off hat in hand.
Frankly with the RC hobby as active as it is I'll bet there are quite a few pretty good guidance programs almost ready to use as it is.
I seriously doubt that Linux is anywhere close to being dead. I think Linux will grow and do just fine. Oddly the virtual boxes may be the greatest asset to Linux platforms as it becomes easier to run Windows apps. It is obvious that Linux is a superior platform and with Microsoft dominating the market many people will prefer Linux. If it ever gets to the point where desktop Linux distros really are under threat it will be by some new and unknown OS that suddenly takes center stage.
Oil shales and oil sands are a disaster to the environment. Nothing could be more destructive to the environment than the massive strip mining it would take to recover that kind of oil.
Coal is so nasty that all use of coal should be illegal and reason to kill off any nation allowing its use. If you burn coal you will saturate the soil with mercury among other things.
And you fail to take into account such issues as running out of drinking water. Frankly water could get so expensive that the price of food will exceed your ability to purchase it.
There is simply no way to keep going without some deeply radical changes even if they ruin your expectations in life.
Check out Tigerdirect.com.. Get in touch with them. They sell a lot of PCs and have the ability to fill larger orders. Not only that but that have sufficient assets such that if they sign a contract that contract will be enforcible. I feel certain that they can do better than Dell for you.
They were not noisy at all. In Florida in the very rich Hillsboro Beach area just north of Pompano Fl. there was a fellow who drove one of the Chrysler turbines mounted in a Chrysler station wagon body.
The first difficulty in putting those on the road was a very hot exhaust that had to be dealt with to save the cars behind or pedestrians walking in back of the car. Roasted civilians are only allowed when designing Ford Pinto and Mustang models.
I consider Fox News to be the funniest of all TV channels. The players who consider themselves to be right wing conservatives are a trove of idiocy. Many of their personalities are living proof that abortions need to be legal.
It might be better to say that when one has the potential power to regulate or tax then free enterprise ends. After all, if you know full well that the government can pass new rules or new taxes that apply to you then you must run your business as if it will certainly occur to be safe.
The same thing applies to speech. When I see a man locked up for the following remark I cringe : If I had known then what I know now I would have gone to my guns instead of going to court. The judge ruled that that constituted a threat and put the guy in prison even though the remark was made no where near the court house. The point being that it was hypothetical and in the past tense and did not threaten any particular court or judge. They did this by a nonsense definition of the word threat. They claim that anyone made uncomfortable by a remark is threatened and therefore the remark is a threat. So they changed no laws. They simply redefined a word in the law. I find that severely idiotic and a crying shame.
Normally the Constitution is taken to mean that a person maintains their rights even when they do not want those rights. The expectation of the right to trial by jury is normal. The notion that one can sign away one's right to the protections of the justice system holds no water at all and has only been tolerated because the big money players wanted it in place.The worm has turned.
After the revolution the French tossed the church out of France for about two years. That was followed by the state begging the church to re-establish itself due to the chaos that filled the streets. It seems that without a set moral code society crumbles and other people start to be viewed as victims in waiting. Charles Dickens once described stepping out his front door as stepping into a sea of criminals with one or two innocents mixed into the throng. And that was in a society with a well order set of morality. Pull the religion plug and the entire society flushes down the drain.
Although employment generally is very similar to prostitution, one way or another, we like to hide that sad fact from ourselves. Finding a book to resell is probably dredging up feelings rather like a wino going through trash to collect aluminum cans. It should not dredge up those feelings but the fact that you are doing your scavenging in view of others is bothering you. Actually you provide a great service to people but then again so do buzzards.

How about durability?

Does that include Jimmy Hoffa and the barrel that he was buried in? There are lots and lots of things in the woods in New Jersey.

I would put more trust in BSA motorcycles, which should never be out after dark, or the Boy Scouts of America than the wretched BSA in question.

In a well insulated, very small, oven with a very,very long cooking time it is possible to cook almost anything.
