If they want to do something, how about a publicly embarrassing statement to the people who let this guy through. Fire them, let the world know their names, and tell the rest of the people who have a job of keeping known bad people carrying things that blow up off of planes. New rules arent needed for this. New procedures arent needed. It is already against the rules to light things on fire on planes. The new rule effects... ALL passengers. The rule that needs to be in enforced effects people who intend to light things on fire.
I am starting to think that the plane safest from terrorism is the plane that has no passengers, and never leaves the ground. That sure would prevent a successful attempt.
I am harsh in judging... well , fuck em . they are idiots.
well, if the goal of these terrorists is to hurt the economy by preventing people from flying, then I agree 100% . Someone please tell the airlines that now I am not going to fly again, ever. My money will not be going to them as long as this is in place = terrorists win.
When I see that the new regulations are meant to be unpredictable, then I know that is code for the flight crew can make up whatever they want and I will put up with it . unless, of course, i am not on the plane to begin with.
They were building this engine because external sources continued to demand it. Thees outside sources bought up as many as they could upon the announcement of cancellation. These werent engines that GM was packing into cars that no one wanted and therefore sat on lots without a chance of being purchased.
It sounds more like the beancounters couldnt justify the portion of a plant being used and the employees being paid for only 3% output of the plant. There is an economy of scale issue, and with current business being what it is, GM is obviously shedding all niche items ( up to Saab and Saturn) and focusing on high efficiency and core business output.
Your example of "sounds like strep" is exactly where something like this can fail. Strep requires antibiotics , and those are bad for us all if used incorrectly. A test is required for verification.
Your final alternate model is dead on , and in fact my wife's work has this exact scenario... and she loves it. She works at a school, so there is already a nurse on campus. She can arrange a doctor visit without having to take time off work, and she will see the nurse who has a video conference with a real doctor. The trained nurse can handle the personal bits and the testing and offer suggestions to the doctor.
It is funny how I still catch hell from European friends about how long the US stayed isolated during WWII , calling that someone else's problem. I dont think that those problems were caused by an alliance with the US.
If the US reduces its positions, then we will have to hear about how we dont help out. Just think what could happen if we backed down and Japan decided to start really developing defensive capabilities, or if Israel starting listening less. Those carrier fleets are unfortunately a requirement for some of the little stability we have.
I would be fine with calling it all back, and letting the next 10 or 20 years get spent letting everyone sort out a new power structure, both economically and militarily. if this were to happen, I dont want to hear a damn word about how it is all the US fault.
Please be aware then that the phone is a massive distraction. I either have scheduled meetings or portions of a day set where I can be interrupted. When I need to dig in to get something done, I cant do it quickly or well in fits and starts... it is a long process to get really going.
My boss, not a PHB, understands if I tell him that I can do some work in a morning if I am allowed to focus, or in a week if the PMs are allowed to distract me at their will.
Yes, someone will be pissed when the request to see the hard drive shows thousands of movies and his disc collection that was backed up doesnt quite match up title for title.
except that we are discussing scientists losing their jobs for manipulating data. The collectors of the data are appearing to be delivering data in ways that prove their personal beliefs, and in ways that dont allow anyone to contradict their personal beliefs. Now, not all of the scientists are manipulative and crooked, but they may have been basing their beliefs on scientific leaders, such as the ones that cooked the books. There is not much of a true source now, especially if the only data left is the "cleansed" data, not the original raw data.
So a person who brags about going to a doctor's office on a weekly basis, considering this a passtime, and is proud of the number of tests he has forced on the system while knowing he really has no physical problem is upset that he is expected to pay $9000 a year?
This man is the problem with universal health care.
Let doctors treat ill people. When people are forced to act responsibly they sometimes get upset and throw a tantrum, I know that is the case with my 2 year old son.
Yup, someone is confused about the meanings of revenue and profit. I am certain that the cost to implement is not going to be passed by the amount of money brought in by disabled folks.
for legitimate copies of the content they're interested in just because it's less of a hassle to do so.
Unfortunately, this is where you are wrong. Things have gotten so out of sorts that it is often less of a hassle to use the non-legitimate version. The problem with these companies is that the legitimate version costs more, can be less reliable, and comes with burdens and accusations. I am left wondering why I would bother to pay them when they add zero value to the transaction.
Some locations do have a standard on 20 amp circuits installing the plug "upside-down", for preventing potential fires if something manages to contact both hot pins.
well, i guess so . What I really think about it is that there are most likely many people in the situation I am in as far as having a lifestyle that could use the performance capabilities of this product. Now, if enough people can show interest in this to bring the cost down then it would suit me perfectly.
So, while I cannot afford it in dollars, the argument that the car is not usable because of the charge time or distance limitations does not apply to me and possibly many others. Keep making these things, and eventually the cost per unit will get low enough for a very wide uptake.
What is really cool is that I am home almost 12 hours every night, and I drive well under 300 miles a day. Now, this wouldn't work for my vacation trips, but as an every day commuter this would suit me perfectly ( if I could afford it).
You are not alone. I feel this way about my TV as well as movies. It used to be that you could expect a television to be around for a while. Now they are expected to break in just a few years and no one complains as it is an excuse to buy the newest shiniest tech.
Once the upgrade path settles for a bit ( which is in no one's interest) I have no need to purchase my collections again and again, just to keep up with the ever changing hardware.
now that just says perpendicular to the ground plane, doesnt say that the antennae has to stand upright... but that large enough ground plane sure is going to effect gas mileage and make the window law useless .

sounds good... hand me a beer , larry the cable guy is about to be on tv

what about hands!!! These arms are completely useless without hands!

You are right ... screw improvements until we can find perfection!
I think that link is slashdotted already. Is there a cache?

he was referring to mine. This was a back handed compliment like being told you have a big dick for a white guy!
