I agree, the words "ignorance" and "ignorant" are used far to often in a negative context. I can see how someone might think it insulting.
When dealing with people you sometime have to choose your words carefully. "You may not have studied this..." is far less likely to cause an argument than "You may be ignorant of this..."
Those radios were common in rural homes before the 90s and especially in the 70s, I know I had a great big base station with a giant motorized antennae.
I've met a few women that had abusive husbands/boyfriends that would go back to them over and over again after being beaten and breaking up.
Why on earth would you take someone back after they get out of prison for your attempted murder leaving you with a big scar on your throat and a glass eye.
I had my home stereo stolen and they caught the burglar, the insurance didn't pay because the items were recovered, but it also sat in evidence for a year while his lawyer delayed trial over and over again and finally got him a slap on the wrist. By the time they finally returned the stereo system I had purchased a new one, and the one that was stolen somehow got water damaged while in evidence.
not to mention I have the victims phone they can't tell me the code but I'm in there house can talk to friends and family and there are all kinds of clues that might tell me the pass code.
If for some reason I needed to get into my son's phone and he couldn't tell me the passcode because he was injured or something I could ask my niece or nephew up the street or one of his friends... I know my niece knows the code I saw her unlock it the other day and call her dad.
Encryption isn't unbreakable, the problem is it's time consuming and cost prohibitive to attempt to break the encryption. They want the manufacture to give them an easy cost effective way in when manufactures of door locks, cars, and the like do not.
MPAA and RIAA both represent distributors, labels, and studios not the actual artist, they are in the business of making money. Studios and labels give artists large advances to cover services they offer then charge outrageous amounts many times their cost for those services like studio time, radio campaigns, distribution, other advertising, etc... and recoup the advance and interest out of meager royalties the artist is paid while collecting a larger portion of the profit from the sales for themselves.
Indie bands have to watch out for pay to play scams where a instead of getting a percentage of ticket sales the band gets a percentage of a pool of tickets that the band is liable for if they are not sold. Although this is usually split between multiple bands If the bands makes 20% off of ticket sales on a pool of 500 ticket and 400 are sold the bands owes 80% cost of 100 tickets. If those are $20 tickets the bands will make $1600 on the 400 sold but owe $1600 on the remaining 100 tickets.
Alright I have to say it... if there are 140k US jobs for CS each year in a decade that will be 1.4 million jobs and will employee over one third the entire population not the workforce which is smaller the population includes everyone. Anyone with a CS degree should be able to get great pay in their field since only 28% of new jobs will actually be filled, and that doesn't appear to be the case.
No I think there is something funny with their claim.
I have owned an 82 cavalier, datsun 310, buick century, and pontiac 6000 all of them except the datsun 310 got that or better. The datsun was a stick, I was 16, and drove it like I was on a race track. A lot of those engines went from 1.7 - 1.8 to being 2.0 in 83-84 and they also had new emissions systems and new throttle body type not compatible with the 82.
I do miss simple, but I don't miss 12 miles per gallon like I got in many older vehicles, nor do I miss having to make seasonal carburetor adjustments to keep it running decently.
The early 80s had a lot of cars that broke the 50mpg barrier and throttle bodies didn't require seasonal adjustments, they also had timing chains instead of belts that are supposed to be changed every 30k miles like some of the mid 90s models. A yearly tuneup took about 45 minutes and involved a timing light, cap, rotor, plugs, and maybe plug cables.
I wouldn't mind interior door handles made from die-cast aluminum as apposed to cheap plastic either. {$30 for a plastic door handle, you're kidding?} My current vehicle has so many design flaws that didn't exist in older vehicles I've owned I sometimes think we are going backwards.
I live in one of the least regulated states and Uber left because they couldn't convince the state to allow them to operate without commercial minimum liability insurance. Which is silly because any insurance company would drop them if they were in an accident while driving for Uber on a personal liability policy.
There is nothing hypothetical about a vehicles gearing ratio being optimized for the current highway speed to run at lower rpms to promote efficiency and less wear on engine parts and some of the sports packages are optimized for 10-15mph above those speeds.
Yes drag is a problem but it doesn't change the fact that a vehicle well designed with aerodynamics and gearing in mind can be more efficient at 10-15mph above the speed limit than say a boxy oversized 4wd crossover at the speed limit or even a modern hybrid if we toss emissions considerations.
Did you entirely miss the phablet craze, or do you just have huge pockets? 5.5 inch is fairly common but they don't fit in my pockets unless I'm wearing cargoes.
The speed limit here is 75mph about 120kmh and it's not uncommon for people to drive 90mph about 145kmh whether it is efficient or not is entirely dependent on the car's design and gearing. Over the years fuel efficiency has taken a big hit due to emissions laws. Cars with the throttle body carburetor of the late 70s and early 80s get better gas mileage than todays hybrids although they couldn't pass an emissions test.

Extortion!?!? I'm guessing they won't except a cash payment in a dark alley.

My son posed some what if questions after a drunk wanted to pick a fight with me at a concert. My answer hit him with my 4wd.
It was also their intent that it be amendable, because as time passes things must change.

My question is why is he showing the expense form now... did it take that long for them to process it?
It depend on how you measure success, if it's by market share then that's just not accurate.
but will they be able to make the roads do loops like my hotwheels race track?
Damn I got an extra decimal... now you know why I'm not a mathematician.
Still if only 28% of the jobs are being filled why the heck aren't they paying more.

There were a lot of them and even some of larger vehicle like the buick century were getting in the 40mpg range

That s-10 was to late in the decade you would have wanted an older a slightly older chevy luv.

I had an 82 and an 84 chevy cavalier with the catalytic converters removed they got around 50-55mpg at 65mph and a new chevy volt is only rated 40mpg
