Had they failed, the market they were building cars to satisfy would have been filled by another company. Those companies would have had to hire extra workers to fill the demand. There might have been enough demand that an investor would have bought the vacated factories to build cars. Maybe someone like Tesla. Instead we have the corporate rulers that ran the company into the ground still at the helm.
I know it's trendy and hip to be on the "The World Will End" bandwagon these days, but maybe you should actually look at what the domino effect of your desires will actually do.
You do realize that the phone was limited to about 3kHz of bandwidth since like forever, right? That was how AT&T was able to derive the 64kB/s for a POTS line. You dont' pay a premium for a higher fidelity phone line, because such a thing doesn't exist.
They had 20 years of UNIX to learn from before they created ActiveX. Hell, even a fool with a comp-sci degree could have told them that unfettered access to the local machine from any remote machine was brain-dead stupid. The biggest pain with Java applets was the sandbox put around it, and Micosoft was well aware of the reason for it.
The "they didn't know it would be that bad" argument is just lame. If they didn't know, they were completely incompetent. If they knew, and chose to ignore common sense, they were criminally liable. You choose.
You are talking theoretical numbers, not the reality of me and millions of others having to buy a new car to take advantage of your theoretical benefits.
Ethanol isn't that bad as a solvent. But, ethanol is hydroscopic. It pulls in any atmospheric moisture it can. The mixture of the two is corrosive as hell. If you put the fuel in the tank and burn it off within a few days, you have no problems. Use it like a normal person, and your fuel system's life is severely shortened. And it isn't just carbon-based components (any plastic or rubber seals). The ethanol-water combination like to chew on aluminum, too.
I'm sorry, but you're making one of the most common mistakes in anecdotal data analysis:
I'm sorry, but you're making one of the most common mistakes in anecdotal data analysis rebuttals: attributing his quoted small sample size to that being the only data he has. Do you really expect the Moryath to quote his whole damn life's history in a/. post?
There has been tons of tests and experiments showing ethanols caustic and destructive effects. Legislation has been enacted to keep it out of marinas and airports. I personally know of several fuel tanks that were destroyed by ethanol gas after surviving for years with unpoisoned gasoline. Poison is a harsh term to use, but that is exactly what it is for a vehicle that was not designed to handle it.
The point that his detractors are trying to point out isn't that he is telling the truth. For the love of Pete, he is stating what is blatantly obvious. The point they're trying to make is that Obama is using ATM machines (which have been around for 25yrs) as an excuse to deflect blame away from himself for the lackluster economy in the US. It's not that he's wrong that ATM machines are eliminating jobs. He's wrong that it has eliminated jobs since he has been in (partial) control.
The GOP was moribund over the selection of McCain. The media had already chosen Obama over his RINO ass, and were doing everything they could to bias voter sentiments. His campaign had no life until he chose Palin. The only person to blame for McCain's lacluster performance is McCain...and Busch...and Chris "I've got a tingle in my leg" Matthews, et. al.
I realize that her popularity pisses you off, but she is powerfully popular none the less.
And yet, in the Deep Space 9 series, genetic modification of humans was forbidden. The laws were bad enough that the doctor on board had to keep that black market modifications that his underclass parents paid to have done to him a secret. His parents paid for the modifications, because they wanted their son to have a better life than they did.
T6 aluminum? You know just enough to think you know what you're talking about. T6 is a heat treatment, and has very little to do with the cost for most alloys, and absolutely nothing to do with anything that is cast.
For the backyard forger, the best place to get casting material is an engine block from the local junkyard.
My furnace is not built with concrete from Ace's. It is built with a mix of portland cement, sand and perlite from Lowe's. It is fired with a mix of kerosene and used motor oil, charged by a hand-held vacuum used as a blower. Works great for aluminum and brass.
I make mold by carving pink insulation foam. The foam melts, rises to the top, and is burned off.
Do a google search for "gingery lathe". $5 will get you a book that details how to build your own.
It is not just Wikipedia. A history professor told me once that the most important thing to know about a history book is who wrote it. Defining "authoritative source" is what keeps historians employed.
If people in general cared one whit about the truth, we wouldn't have an idiot ideologue and a complete buffoon sitting as President and Vice-President right now.
Some people may be. A significant percentage of American's identify themselves as part of the various Tea Party factions, and are tire of the lying Ds and being called racists and Teabaggers at every turn.
Not that I mean to confuse your little dichromatic world, or anything.

Because they're the ones handing out the checks.
It isn't all bad, though. You are free to start your own business anytime you feel like it. Then you can set your own demands.
If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
Fine. You use your money to manufacture the car that no-one can or is willing to buy.

So, what do you use for shorthand when talking about 2024-T6, or 7071-T6?
The discussion concerned building lost wax molds for casting.

And it was going to burn the gas more completely, because it had some oxygen in it.
You know what else has a lot of oxygen. **AIR**.
That has always been one of the stupidest arguments I've ever heard.

That's a limitation on Congress. Has nothing to do with your local school system.

Even Roddenberry couldn't get away from reality.

This one goes in your mouth. This one goes in your ear. This one goes up your butt.
What the...? Wait. No. This one goes in your mouth. This one goes in your ear. This goes up your butt.
Nope, that pretty much describes my experience with them on this side of the pond.
It is not just Wikipedia. A history professor told me once that the most important thing to know about a history book is who wrote it. Defining "authoritative source" is what keeps historians employed.
No. If we did that, we'd have to confront our own hypocrisies and stop electing them. There is NO way we're going to let that happen.

Do you think she knows how many states the country has?
If she just had a teleprompter.
