Then design your device to detect bad batteries. Any funny current, voltage or resistance readings and the device should tell you that something is going amiss and shut down in extreme cases.
Record in an internal memory an history of these warnings and let consumers know what you are doing and why (instead of the inane booklets with great offers to join inane websites or register your warranty, like if that was necessary at all).
This inane "solution" is immoral and reprehensible in all accounts.
Companies making radios, torchlights, wireless keyboards and mice and countless other devices can use standard batteries without any issues.
Panasonic, and any other brain dead manufacturers that think we are stupid, should get out of the business of policing the battery industry (yeah right, they do it only to protect their consumers) and leave battery safety and regulation to trade government agencies and consumer advocates.
It takes me less than 10 seconds to fit one, also you would benefit from the pleasures of holding your urges, your amorous session will last longer and the final outcome would be more memorable.
I hate bars. With a passion. It is the least social place in the universe (unles you consider social a place where half the people are in the edge of consciousness ).
... how somebody making money says it like it is, and instead of reflexive thought about how to get better at doing the work, one gets a tirade about how bad the Indians actually are.
This guy will hire US workers if it was more profitable, it isn't, deal with it.
I have interviewed many people from India and Pakistan, and in general terms they were technically superior to people from EU countries (bar Poland) and the US.
But you can keep dreaming that you have an inherent right to be better. Scratch the surface of most tech companies of any note in the last 20 years, and often you find that the involvement of foreigners to make things happen is quite prevalent.
I don't know where most of you have worked, I have worked for several of the most recognized companies in the world, and where there was involvement with Indian companies what was there was a very fruitful relationship, with people getting things actually done.
If you really think that money is the only motivation to relocate or outsource, you are sorely deluded. As long as you decide to follow this path of delusion you will be in no position to address the real problem: the lack of competitivity of US Tech workers.in some tech sectors (it is not like everything is being outsourced BTW)....
Seriously, they are are a bunch of rabid right wingers that have not a single kind word about anybody but their buddies (rich people). Just read Saki's section and you will see where they stand (that individual is a socialite that boasta about how welathy his firends are).
NICE is in the very difficult position of rationing resources, as such some people will be left out, but not for lack of money or insurance, but for verifiable clinical reasons.
It is easy to be cynical when you are not reaching the conclusions needed to use the NHS money more efficiently.
I (and many other old timers on this thread) are telling you in no uncertain terms how the cookie crumbles, so what is your evidence that what you are saying could actually be done in the way you say?
What you are suggesting is stupid and naive (a word I have seen used several times on this thread, and rightly so), that you are moderated "Interesting" a the moment just comes to show how few people in/. are familiar with the complexities of such systems.

4.19 in is a decimal counting. (doh!).
All those imperialists should try to be consistent and represent that with halfs, quarters and eights of an inch...
I live in London. Never had a problem.
Oh wait, there aren't any.
Sorry for entering you weird alternate reality space....

... that there are people out there that still think that coitus interruptus is an effective birth control method....
For all of you reading: once there is unprotected penetrative sex, all the bets are off.
Because it shows respect and caring for your partner.
... you should get back to action in short time after further foreplay.
Dating a hot chick is a waste of money and time.
Unless see has a healthy enjoyment of sex, in which case time and money is never wasted...
... mine does.
I get plenty of sex and drinks , but sex only happens when I am sober.
Don't blame your brain for what is clearly just lack of discipline.
I buy in bundles of 200.
Needless to say I know which one suits me best.

It is more like a deferred payment of the phone.

For bunnies sakes...
So it is unlikely he would use such contrived example.
I think he meant what he meant, no reason to over analyse it.

.... getting a life.
Make a long term commitment with somebody that has nothing in common with you.
Now there is a great idea that deserves to be explored
Just because you have worked in small companies it does not mean it can't be done.
... how somebody making money says it like it is, and instead of reflexive thought about how to get better at doing the work, one gets a tirade about how bad the Indians actually are.

people in India working in similar jobs enjoy most of the amenities you are describing.
If you really think that people competing against you live in mud huts then you are really deluded.
