Don't forget about all of the bus drivers. There probably will still be a need for someone to supervise on school buses but on city and between cities I can see them becoming automated.
Apple buys their components from whoever is the best for Apple. If they really didn't want to support Samsung when they have all of the legal troubles with them then they would have shifted the processor production away from them but Samsung has been the, and remains, the prime manufacturer.
Just create two other "car companies" that sell re-branded Tesla cars and have the three of them open up a permanent auto trade show in which they would be allowed to sell directly.
From the summary he could create another two car companies that would offer a completely crap car from a ridiculous price (or just re-brand Tesla cars if he was being serious) and then he could open his showrooms to sell cars for both companies as "auto trade shows".
A smart leader does. It was brought about by chronic underfunding in the infrastructure by the previous governments even though we told them that this would happen while we were in opposition.
Either 2 degrees or 1.5 it doesn't really matter as we're going to go sailing by both of them and keep on going by a wide margin. We've started to late and done too little to even meet the 2 degree goal. And the commitments that are being proposed for the upcoming summit in France later this year don't look like they are going to be enough.
I bet those guys in Quebec are kicking themselves. Here they went to all of the trouble to get a helicopter to break them out of jail and all they had to do is send an email!
When there's a little left in the bottle I just store it upside down so that when I go to use it all of the ketchup, mustard, etc is right at the cover. I can't understand how people are wasting 15%.
In my first year of engineering I had a class in assembly but on a simplified processor simulator. I learned quite a lot on it because you saw how everything got modified by your commands. The lectures were terrible because the prof told the same jokes from the book that he wrote. I still have the software somewhere but it's on a 5.25" floppy.
Actually it's on my project list to create a similar program for the iPad if I ever get the time or the help to do it.
The problem is that recently the legislative body seems to be willing to grant those powers to the departments or even give them more and we are dependent on the judicial system to claw them back.
I agree that people have a right and a civic duty to vote. However I believe that if you force people to vote then it won't make them more inclined to research their candidates/parties in order to make what they feel is the best informed choice. They'll see it as a chore and take the path of least resistance.
I wasn't saying that compulsory voting would make people disenfranchised. I was saying that making disenfranchised people vote was a bad idea. Compulsory voting doesn't address the reason why people don't vote. Address those issues and then people might actually want to be part of the process again. Of course that's much more difficult than just passing a law forcing everyone to go to the polling station and it seems that politicians only want easy "answers".
The loony extreme fringes tend to balance each other out without the mandatory voting because they are motivated to vote. What the compulsory voting does is make the people that are too lazy/unmotivated/disenfranchised/etc to educate themselves about the issues and parties go out and vote for whoever looks the best or has the best sounding name. It's those people I really don't want voting. (Well, I'm not thrilled about the loony fringes voting either but you can't stop them from voting.)
So what would happen in the case of a company such as Tesla (don't know if it's public or not). It's worth about $40B so it would have a hefty tax bill but it doesn't have a lot of cash because it's spending a lot on R&D and building up manufacturing. How about companies that are just coming out of bankruptcy protection or financial difficulties? I'm thinking GM a few years when they were still worth a few billion. A big tax bill on their market valuation might have finished them off.
And how would you measure their market valuation? Averaged over a year? If it was based on one day a year then you would have companies announcing bad news the day or week before in order to drop the share price to try and reduce the tax bill.
Heck, lots of people post unauthorized images on Facebook. (Do people post videos on there? Haven't been on in years so I don't know.) Not exactly what they intended with the copyright infringement law but they should be careful what they wish for.

Maybe not normal but at least the stuff I learned as a kid will be right again.

Or if you know that the cell blocking is in place you plant a bomb near where a company is using these drives and there goes their data.

Great now Facebook can data mine that you are getting court papers and start serving up ads for divorce lawyers.
Or if they send it to the wrong person.
Isn't giving someone else access to your account against the terms and conditions of Facebook?

Ah, now you've gone and spoiled next weeks platform announcement.
In Canada Harper has been in power for over 6 six and he still does it, especially when it comes to the Defence Department and the environment.

Or an earthquake will drop the wall a couple of meters first.

Well subtle isn't one of the first words I think of when I think of Abbott.

I have my domain hosted at freedns.afraid.org and haven't had any issues with them at all.
