Since selling factory direct runs afoul of many state laws here in the US
I find this to be particularly disturbing I cannot buy directly from the manufacture which means I have to pay extra to some middle men. I would like to buy a car that doesn't cost me an arm and leg but the state is writing laws that serve to inflate the price. This also serves to insure that startups in the auto industry have a higher barrier to entry and limits competition for established players.
You never know what you'll find out once you've done the research.
Is that like looking through the fridge and cabinets and mixing random things together to see if they taste good.... and my wife says "I'm not tasting your chemistry experiment. Wait that smells good, let me try it."
My driving is almost exclusive in town driving so the smart car wouldn't be that bad but an economy car from the early 80s makes the economy cars today all look like gas hogs it's all about the exhaust controls and since they are regulated you won't get much better. I used to have a 82 cavalier that got 48 mpg in town, If I really wanted to get great gas mileage I could find one and restore it {they are really easy to work on compared to todays cars also}.
if it had a full door with a window I might like it better but I would be afraid that the joint would leak given it doesn't snap after a few years of rough driving and speed bumps.
I peeked at a smart pure coupe the other day which I keep thinking my next car might be [the gas one not the electric] and for such a tiny car it has a lot of passenger room for two passengers anyway.
I wasn't trying to single out android I was just pointing out that it exists. I didn't address iOS because I'm not that familiar with it, I don't have any apple devices and most of the people I know have android devices or kindles. I have noticed a big uptake in android phones, tablets, and even tv boxes in the past couple years. Even my non-techie brother has an android based tv box he uses for netflix and hulu.
There is a story here but it's not the one you are seeing and it's not tin foil hat time. The real story is that in order to feel more secure we have allowed this to happen and most people don't care because they feel it doesn't effect them or that security is more important. Secret courts and large surveillance operations are a big deal any way you slice it, where does this end. We are giving away our privacy what else will our fears give away in the name of security? Will this information at some point be shared with state or even local law enforcement ten or fifteen years from now when we have accepted it? Will we give up our rights to do process and a jury of our peers in order to feel safe?
I see it this way... people that write malware, trojans, or what ever do so to make money and they pick the largest easiest target doesn't matter the OS or the software that runs on it but one way or another they will make money. You cannot make an OS secure enough to persuade them to do something else when there are so many gullible user to take advantage of. This is why there is now boat loads of malware, adware, crapware for android.
Visual Studio could be better but it's more like a rapid development environment and shouldn't be compared to a regular IDE.
I had to look them up. They are basically a full design, manufacturing, parts supplier, and distribution outsource and they also have Lenova as a client.
Wood burning stoves in detached two car garages are not that uncommon in the US mid-west and in the 70s the were common in homes too. My grandparents had one when I was kid, the area was rural and they never paid to run it other than grandpa splitting wood. Their house was very warm, sometimes to warm even when it was below freezing out.
My brother has a detached garage with a wood burning stove he usually only uses it when he is working on a vehicle in the winter.
Kodak consumer cameras are everywhere along with printers, ink, paper, and print kiosks not so sure I would say dead... maybe stagnant. A camera is a single purpose device but everyone has a cell phone with a camera and even cheap ones can have 5 mega-pixels. {better than 3.5x5 photo stock}
My brother's wife got an elliptical after having their first kid, it got used for a while now it is a coat rack {she got most of it off in about 6 months}. They are not the only people I know with coat racks made from exercise equipment so I'm going to agree with you. {I had a coat rack that looked like a stationary bicycle in the 90s}
I used to go across the street to a local store and get a bottled soda occasionally when I was a kid and return the bottle, but I much preferred the fountain across town two squirts of Dr. Pepper and one squirt cherry. I don't really drink soda anymore but I do miss those kind of places. Pinball machines... yes I still stop and play them occasionally when I see one.
I wish I knew where the article was I'm sure I read it on/. but I remember a lady security researcher had zipped up some files from a trojan she was studying, uploaded them to her mega upload account and got a DMCA take down notice. At the time I remember thinking play along... Oh, it's yours? You wrote this? Ok, I'll take it down and give your response and info to the authorities.
The plastic cups that I am always throwing away are from convenience store and they were all full of soda... so I was thinking and have for some time that my family drinks way to much soda. Probably a more likely cause than the plastic itself.
Any one of my sons all a little overweight drink more soda in a week than I drink in a decade
Actually I got to the part about plastics and realized that not only do I not drink soda I'm the only person in the house that refuses to drink or eat from plastic containers. I also refuse to go to the doctor or take any prescription drugs unless I'm really bad. When my wife and I both get sick at the same time she will go to the doctor and get a prescription and I will have plenty of fluids and chicken soup. {She might bounce back a day earlier} I am the skinniest person in the family but get no where near as much exercise as the rest of the family and have a much easier time maintaining my weight.
Hold on now. The internet is full of businesses and individuals with websites that they run and maintain it's not run by the city, state, or parks and recreation. Trust me if you park your car on my front lawn I'll have you towed and the fact that it's not fenced in means nothing it's still private property.
Now here is what you have a business Craig's list and a third party 3taps standing in the parking lot giving out fliers with the Craig's list ads and their competitors ads. They sent them written notice not to do it anymore and took a picture of the employee they had in the parking lot {aka ip adress} handing out the fliers so their employees could recognize them and 3taps sent someone else out and told them to hide what they are doing {aka a proxy} cause the first guy would get recognized and told to leave again.
So the kid hits a baseball through the neighbors window and being angry he sends an anonymous tip to the feds that you have fertilizer in your shed. Never mind that it was only a one bag or that you also have a well kept garden but they have to take the time to investigate. Which is only one of many reasons I have a problem with this.
Ok this has not happened to me however I have had neighbors do some fairly messed up things. Like make a complaint to the city because my car was sitting in the driveway with a broken windshield for almost two weeks after the storm that broke it. His car had only been fixed for a day when he made the complaint and I already had an appointment to get it repaired and he new very well how busy places where with all the hail damaged vehicles.
Americans have invisible lines and crossing any of them would change the sentiment immediately from I am powerless to you will answer for what you have done. Sadly a president would need to have an affair with an intern or engage in some other personal and questionably moral act to get that reaction. As far as everything else that line is much farther away and things will get really bad before they are crossed.
I like the commercials where they say cigarettes have urea which is found in cat pee. All I can think is, you mean they use the same fertilizer they put on all those vegetables you eat?
{don't get me wrong there is no smoking in my house but those commercials are silly}

Yes it does sound like they are promoting plagiarism or trying to up-sell you on more journal subscriptions.
I don't think I've looked around much recently the nissan versa sedan has a lower msrp that the fortwo now {They were more the last time I looked}

They need your knowledge of 20th century football to thwart hot evil alien princesses?

dihydrogen monoxide is in all the food you eat and if you inhale any you could die. The oceans are full of the stuff... scary.
I usually don't pay to much attention and to them cause they are usually a lot higher and a lot less noisy, but this one caught me by surprise.
I like the commercials where they say cigarettes have urea which is found in cat pee. All I can think is, you mean they use the same fertilizer they put on all those vegetables you eat?
