Having owned a 2l diesel in a family sedan I have to say that I am very keen to own them again in the future. The range that I got out of a tank in that car was amazing (Mercedes E200 CDI) I can't comment on the emissions because I don't have the equipment to test it. There was marginal cost difference between the petrol and the diesel, the fuel is the same cost per litre (+- 10%) and the fuel efficiency is heaps better.
It is interesting that you say that. In Aus there is a definite preference for the SUV the soccer mum drives to be a diesel. Don't get me wrong there is a huge number of petrol variants sold but you will see the fact that a particular model is a diesel is put forward as a huge selling plus.
The point of war without killing people is identical to the point of war with killing people. You are pitting the industrial might and resources of 1 side vs another. If people aren't dying it just means that resource is no longer critical to the outcome (at least not directly).
That said any symmetrical war will result in the killing of people on both sides as an objective. Kill the people and they won't be building or controlling the drones.
Sorry, yeah misread that. I also read the article again with a bit more attention. Michigan has paid HP $33m so far so I would expect them to want to recoupe that. HP are also in breach of contract as they were meant to supply staff for 270 days post termination but they haven't been showing up.
At a decade after contract award this has moved so so so far from sales into delivery & PM that it's not funny.
Where does the idea of "Keep the customer happy" fit in to this arrangement? Michigan are looking for 11m to rebid & re-procure meaning that somewhere along the line the projects required budget dropped by $38 million....
I figure it is exactly the same as the flap in the exhaust of my honda CBR1000rr that is closed until it passes the RPM required for the ride by noise test. Then magically it is opened by a cable to allow the exhaust to be freer breathing. Ofcourse Honda says it is for improved backpressure at low rpm but.....
Realistically, do nothing. This will end up falling off the bottom of the page, and people will lose interest / forget. The way to ensure that the problem continues is to respond to it.
Remember the "Bring back our girls" campaign. Had everyone from Michelle Obama down making public statements of support. Go and have a read about how the # tag and search results basically disappeared after a month.
While it sucks now, the people who send you stuff based on a forum are not really invested in you, and once the next object of their hatred arrived it will move on. Keep you head up and weather the storm.
Wow that is seriously fucked for such a short flight. Brisbane to Sydney is a 1hr5 flight. With only carry on my day looks like this.
Travel time to airport: 30 minutes Time in airport: 45 minutes (you can board up to 20 mins before flight for domestic and security is straight forward, you precheck in online and have your boarding pass pre-printed) Flight: 65 min Touch down to train: 15 mins Train to cbd: 35 mins
Driving time - 11-13 hours.
I do that there and back in 1 day for work regularly.
Ok. Though I don't really consider the free e-visitor visa (subclass 651) which you can get in about 5 minutes online free of charge to be a particular challenge...
Eligible countries Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland,France,Germany,Greece,Hungary,Iceland,Ireland,Italy,Latvia,Liechtenstein,Lithuania,Luxembourg,Malta, Monaco, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Republic of San Marino, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom – British Citizen, Vatican City.
NZ is a special case as a NZ citizen is free to live and work in Aus without restriction.
Anyone with a sales background would understand that. I would want to know which sales opportunities were most likely to go wrong / get beaten. However that isn't a straight forward question to answer and not one I expect a computer to answer. Is it based on time frames, competitors, ability to supply, some other unknown variable, who knows.
The detention centres are supported by both sides of politics. They were introduced under a conservative government, abolished by a Labor govt, brought back in by the same Labor govt but a million times worse, then maintained by the current conservative govt.
It is worth noting that the detention centres are only for people arriving by boat, so if you arrive in Australia by plane and claim asylum you won't end up there.
What did you mean about the visas though? It can be hard to get permanent residency in Australia but visiting is easy.
No not Surry Hills, I live on the outskirts of Brisbane.
There are plenty of racist fucks in Australia. And I have seen, and been the recipient, of abuse for telling someone to shutup for being a racist idiot.
What I was more getting at is that I don't think people are scared of bombs going off in Australia like they seem to be in the US. Racist morons or not I can't imagine a school kid getting cuffed for bringing an electronics project to school.
At what point did I say that there wasn't racism in Australia, or that there wasn't awful things done to people based on race in the past?
If you would like to add a few extras in Tasmania all the Aboriginals were killed except 1 that was kept, alive, in a museum so people could come and look.
Perhaps this time your 'Mjurrica education can re-read what I wrote and see that the subject of the sentence you quoted is the word fear.
So yes let's chat about the Aboriginals, could you please give me an example of where we slap them in handcuffs because we think they are terrorists and are going to blow us up when the come to school with an engineering project? If you want to go completely off topic however I am happy to discuss the sad situation that sees their life expectancy, child mortality rates, education, earning potential, and incarceration rates all being significantly worse than the average. If you have a solution, or even a suggestion on how to fix it I'm all ears.
I'm not in the US so I don't know what your fibre service failure levels are like.....
But what level of redundancy is required and is reasonable? Major backhaul sub-surface cables are rarely cut but when they are it is usually because someone hit them with a digger. In this case you need geographic redundancy to avoid having your redundant cable cut. So you run a second back haul cable in the opposite direction giving you 100% redundancy should either cable get cut. The odds that both cables get severed at the same time is vanishingly small, so is a third cable reasonable to build?
You get way more major failures due to software or in data centres where someone kicks out the wrong plug then you do from the physical fibre in the ground.
Also I would be surprised if any executive bonuses came close to the cost of a fibre run. The monopoly thing is a whole different story and I don't believe it should exist.
Australia is way more isolated than the US. It shares no land borders with any other country and its cities are the most remote in the world.
Yet despite that there is nothing like the level of racial or terrorist fear in Australia as there is in the US. Oh sure there are still plenty of red necks who talk about Islam destroying the country and "If you don't like it leave" but the vast majority think those people a nuts and have no problem with other cultures or think they are going to get blown up.
I do think your comment about different cultures though is probably correct though. One of the things I noticed when I travelled around the US is that outside of the major cities the country becomes a lot more culturally uniform and I think there are whole swathes of the US population that don't have interactions with anything other than their own race/culture.
Seriously, would you want to learn electronics, chemistry, physics, or comp sci in a country which might just decide to lock you up for doing your homework?!?!?!
Redundancy does not preclude criticality. In the end no network is infinite so if you keep cutting cables eventually it will do down, but irrespective with every cut connection performance will degrade.
I finished high school in 1997 and we had a basic computer science course then that had been available for the last 4 years. It was pretty basic but it included things like learning turbo pascal. One of my assignments was to write a program that could be used to tally votes in an preferential voting system.
My friends kids, who are at school now, all have quite advanced courses available to them as well as mandatory basic ones.
Perhaps my impression of public schools in the US is completely wrong but how is it that computer science or some variation of computer science is NOT already available???
I kind of understand some rural back water town with a school of 20 students not having it, but the schools inside NYC???
How do you figure? If you bring in an experienced and qualified person what training are you planning to give them outside of some "this is how we do it here" general type stuff. If I bring a Highway Engineer into Australia from the UK I have brought all of the UK's schooling, & university investment to Aus as well as their 10 years of post grad experience. If there is no local to fill that job what I have essentially done is scored a high value person for the price of a visa.

They aren't going to say anything bad because all the car makers are intertwined. Various parts, engines, chassis etc are shared between the makers.

99% of the abuse you will be receiving will be from dickheads who don't really care about you. Just wait them out.

Sorry Paxton is the Texas Attorney General.
Out of interest, who is Paxton? I cant see anything about him.
