Feel free to conflate and construe, but it is pretty clear that raw steel production and imports are treated differently.
My statement that production is maybe higher is incorrect, blame my memory, but U.S. steel production has only dropped off by about 20% from the peak (and prior to the recession, it was at higher levels than most of the 20th century), while global production has continued to grow and grow.
And I guess the more sarcastic response is something like "Yeah, that's the part that is a joke."
Or whatever. The general point is that the activities they classify as 'security' are largely tilting at windmills, at least when compared to what is technically possible.
Everything didn't get outsourced. Take a look at steel production; sure, U.S. production is a much smaller chunk of total global output than it was 30 years ago, but the absolute output numbers are about the same, or maybe a little higher. So two things happened, there were large production increases elsewhere and per worker productivity increases here.
If you start from the premise that the credit card companies are the ones that could go ahead and implement secure authentication (with card readers or token generators or whatever), the security of the whole industry is a joke.
Of course, they are more worried about costs than security so it isn't a big surprise.
There has to be some balance. If he absolutely can't find a job that even comes close to the value he places on himself, there is at least a chance that he is placing too much value on his experience.
I wouldn't be astonished if the stores actually made more money selling the coke.
(The expensive packages of coke retail for ~$0.7 per ounce, their portion of that is more than the $0.0125 per ounce they get for a 12 ounce can with a retail cost of a $0.15. That's the most favorable example for my statement, but a 2 liter bottle at $1 still retails for more per ounce than that can.)
Who are these mythical people? Michigan has been giving away maps with well marked county roads for decades, I would guess many other states are similar.
I guess you might only find the map if you drive into the state on a highway and stop at a "Welcome Center".
Part of this is that people do not grow up in or spend much time in open country.
In southern Michigan, a 'remote' area might be 1/2 mile from a decent size road. People still get lost, but they generally have a pretty damn high damn-fool quotient (or they are simply someone that needs supervision and the supervision fails).
If you go up one notch, to areas where the nearest road might be a few miles, you still have to be a pretty big fool to wander out there without some sort of plan for wandering back (and then a compass should be plenty, even without much training).
It's now $35 for new customers on that plan, and there is a caveat that Virgin Mobile Phones only talk to Sprint towers (Sprint has a roaming agreement with Verizon for Sprint branded phones, increasing coverage area quite a lot).
I tend to harp on this, mostly because Sprint doesn't have 3g coverage where I live.
Without meaning to argue with what you said, the Pentium 2, Pentium 3 and Pentium 4 aren't so far from being Pentium Pros adjusted to run at higher clock frequencies (and if I remember correctly, the Pentium Pro is quite a lot more similar to a 486 than to a Pentium).
I wasn't fretting over energy availability, parent of my comment was using food production as an example where technology won; In an article about how human energy use can't just continue to expand, it seems germane to point out that the technology in question massively increased energy use.

Extrapolating linearly, we get to "Hurfa-durfa, marijuana" as the height of hilarity.
Never say never, big thorium would likely eventually manage to smash big electricium.
Performance-wise, a Doble steamer is still a pretty practical car today (the condenser does limit the top speed). It is 1920s technology.
That was the joke the first poster was making. All your parent comment did was scream "I GOT IT!".

Chip cards seem to work for the Netherlands (but they are relatively small and the banking industry chose to work together on it).
If American Express offered a secure payment system that meant I was authorizing single transactions to a single vendor, I'd use it in a heartbeat.

GPS itself is a one way technology.
Some devices that receive GPS signals also talk to cellular systems, which is bidirectional.

Mozilla should choose the default based on the projected revenues for the various search companies, not based on Google's 'abandoning' Firefox.
Especially if you want to describe it as a strategic business decision.

They want a demonstration of their result that has visual impact.
Well, no reason other than the robot invasion.
CNC machines took over a whole lot of medium skill jobs.

I'm curious as to your choice of phrasing. I mean, if I'm talking about towers, I probably realize that different areas have different coverage.
Virgin Mobile is a Sprint owned company in the U.S., it was a joint venture but Sprint bought Virgin out and purchased rights to use the brand.
Virgin phones only talk to Sprint owned towers, no Verizon towers, so the coverage isn't as good.

That's the total sum of the loans that were issued. Many of them were overnight loans.
There was never $16 trillion in outstanding loans.
Are you able to read the word "configuration"?
Of course, if the answer is no, you will have trouble understanding the question.
