took me literally ten seconds to disprove and find every article still in stock
You are SO full of shit. No wonder you posted AC. Of 19 different model/color combinations, all but three are sold out - 1 Up2 and 2 Up3 - No Up1 whatsoever.. In other words, the 3 colors that nobody wants are still available because, well, nobody wants them. The 16 other ones are totally out of stock, and so marked.
If you're the customer waiting on parts, safety stock is pretty much mandatory from your point of view. If you want new tires and the store says sure, come back in 4 days when they arrive, you're going elsewhere. Same with a laptop. Same with milk and eggs and hamburger and steak. You keep having stuff out of stock, you ae sending your customers elsewhere permanently.
If they're doing repairs to buses there, they have enough space to store 1 whole bus. It's supposed to be there to be cannibalized for parts as needed, so it never has to be in running order or pass an inspection or be plated, so very low maintenance. Replacement parts are probably just stored on the bus or elsewhere instead of installing them.
They get full depreciation allowance on their tax bill, same as other assets.
It's also a smart idea to have immediate access to spare parts rather than tying up service bays and keeping buses and mechanics idle while waiting for a complete engine or transmission to be shipped.
1. All the customers not able to get their complaints addressed, along with Jawbone saying that they're reorganizing their customer service, lends credence to them being in trouble. You don't cancel one customer service company without having another in place unless you're either stupid or broke. That's something easily independently verifiable by looking at the complaints on their Facebook page.
2. All the products being marked as out of stock on their website, with no indication of if or when there will be new stock, and them not taking orders any more, also makes it more likely that they are in serious trouble. Again, something that you can verify by clicking on the second link in the story - that will sow you 3 fitness trackers and their prices. But when you click on the "Buy" link, they're all sold out. If they thought that new stock was coming soon, they'd have taken the orders.
3. They said that they have no idea when they'll have new supplies. This is right in the summary. In other words, they aren't making alternate arrangements to ship from their manufacturer. Tends to indicate that they haven't paid the manufacturer and are now on a "cash basis only" from the manufacturer.
4. They've been burning through cash.$305 million invested in 2014. $165 million earlier this year.
5. Investors are getting antsy. Rizvi capital management reneged on their commitment to investing $250 million after having given the company an initial $50 million.
Many, if not most, users of WhatsApp in India use it as a cheap way to communicate with relatives in other countries, since telecoms charge per text even in-country. Even at $0.01 per text, with the average teenager sending over 100 texts a day, that adds up if you have a bunch of kids on a family plan. With the average income being ~$120 a month, that's going to be significant.
The woman who wanted to be a cat has nothing to do with transsexuals. We've been able to demonstrate, and the APA has accepted, that transsexuality is not a mental condition. In other words, it's a physical problem that causes undue stress that can be relieved by transitioning. It's all there in the latest version of the DSM.
So why do you keep on bringing up examples that have noting to do with the actual topic? Because you have a problem.
If you were born with one eye, that would be a physical condition. It too would cause mental distress. The fix for the mental stress is not therapy to help you accept that you have only one eye - it's changing you physically - giving you a glass eye. That physical change relieves a lot of the mental stress because it lets you be who you should have been except for that missing eye.
It's the same reason why many men who have only one testicle get a silicone implant - so that they won't be embarrassed in the locker room, on the beach, or in the bedroom. Fixing the physical condition removes the mental stress.
Doctors now say that it's what transsexuals have been saying since the 1950's - that it's not mental. So changing sex is the proper treatment for this, same as the glass eye is - it removes the mental anguish caused by a physical condition.
And yet you pick this hill to wage a war on. Why? What are you afraid of? There's no rational reason not to just accept it and move on. It's not something that affects you personally, so why would you even care? But it really, really bothers you, obviously. To the point that you act more like a monkey flinging poo to distract from the underlying question - why can't you call someone by their legitimate, legal name, when so many others have no problem with it? What is there about what someone who you don't even know and never will know that puts such a bug up your arse?
You have a problem.
Also, saying I debate like a man - I'm the one who keeps on getting back to the main topic, that for some reason you have a problem using Chelsea Manning's real, legal name, and instead are indulging in the delusion that Bradley Manning still exists. Anyone who knows enough about transsexuals will tell you that "Bradley" never really existed - it was a cover.
So, I keep returning to the main point, and you keep on throwing all sorts of irrelevancies as distractions. You're like the little boy who, when caught with his hands in the cookie jar, tries everything they can to distract mom from the fact that you got caught. Mom still wants to discuss your stealing cookies, and talking about other people doing other stuff that is not directly relevant, such as Johnny getting caught stealing from the store, or that someone else steals cookies all the time (even though almost nobody else does, and pointing out an exception is an irrelevant distracton).
So, if I'm debating like a man, you must be debating like a woman. But again, saying my style of debate is like a man's is sexist. It's stereotyping, and it's not even valid. Women are quite capable of holding people's feet to the fire because we DON'T let you BS your way out of things that easily. There's even a biological basis for this - males are 3x as likely to have ADHD. I keep coming back to the point that started all this - you keep getting distracted. If anything, I'm debating like a woman and you're debating like a man. And if you don't believe it, try cheating on a woman - no amount of bs will distract her from the issue which is that you cheated. Even Shakespeare knew this - "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
In summary, you are bothered by this even though it has nothing to do with you personally, and you'd rather act antisocial to avoid examining why this is a problem that you have. You have consistently blamed transsexuals for your inability to accept reality, that from before birth we were never really capable of being who you think we should have been, and move on.
If you have proof that transsexuality is a mental diso
Why would you include people who watched a video for less than 3 seconds? Would you say you've read a book because you glanced at the cover? Or seen a movie because you saw a 30-second trailer (okay, that last one, too often the trailers contain all the interesting stuff, so you're wasting your time watching the movie, but you get what I mean(.
As long as you don't include those people in the "total viewers" category, I see no problem.
It doesn't compete against ARM. That's the point. ARM can't run x86, not 16, 32, or 64-bit. This can. If you need x86 in a small form factor, this is something to consider.
There are cpus that won't run windows 10. That includes the ones in the Raspberry. The one here will. For someone who needs a small 64-bit x86, this is interesting.
They didn't have the money to carry large quantities of inventory, and also raised cash to stay afloat by selling off the reserve stock that they had been keeping for customer complaints. So they can't even replace devices under warranty any more. Bad management to the rescue^W^Wblame.
Nobody is going to invest in a company that has fallen from a $3 billion evaluation to a $1.5 billion evaluation, and already has sucked up almost a billion from investors with nothing to show for it except requests for more funding, and no new products for over a year. That $1.5 billion evaluation is obviously going to fall further now that the sh*t has hit the fan, resulting in Jawbone being worth less than what the investors have already put into it.
Sayonara. Jawbone got tempted by the fitness market, but it wasn't a good fit.
It's not that Zucker ever refused treatment. He milked everyone he could for money. The "other clinic" was his buddy Blanchard elsewhere in the CAMH building, who continually lied to patients. There has been such an accumulation of complaints by parents and patients over those two that they had to close Zucker's clinic down and take away Blanchard's monopoly on referrals..The government also passed legislation banning anyone from using Zuckers' methods on children.
Before this latest scandal, CAMH was the only clinic that could grant authorization for surgeries. Now a patient will need two recommendations from qualified physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, psychologists or registered social workers who have the appropriate training. Nobody is going to go to CAMH when everywhere is now is able to grant approvals much faster and with less hassle.
In other words, the article you quoted is irrelevant. The world has moved on. The government does not want any more of what they called unethical and abusive conversion therapy on children - not from Zucker, not from anyone else. Not even by church "practitioners." Freedom of religion doesn't cover freedom to break the law, so all those churches that used to push gay conversion therapy for children and teens are also out of that business. Now back to basics.
Again, what do you fear so much about transsexuals that you can't even call them by their names? That's what started this thread, and you keep giving excuses that make no sense, then try to change the focus of the conversation. What is your excuse for being rude to transsexuals. Do you do that to everyone else?
Not for Windows 10 anything, but having this based on x86 certainly enables one to run not just standard embedded Linuxes, but just about every other good embedded OS that's there - Minix, QNX, Haiku, OS/2 and all other OSs that are out there.
I know it tradition not to FTA, or even the summary, but not reading the title? The title says it runs full Windows 10.
It's 64-bit, supports up to 3 displays at once, 2 sata channels, 5 usb ports, 8 gigs ram, 2.56ghz max speed, and a tiny 6 watts max. Oh, and it supports running VMs.
The people in charge don't care. If their own computer craps out, they are so used to this being normal behaviour, same as everyone else. Malware, surfing porn, whatever, they just figure it's normal and get someone to fix it, or they buy another one. If the peons have anything at all potentially embarrassing on their computer and are using Windows 10, just the rumours of what the telemetry reports back to the mother ship will make them keep their mouths shut and just re-install rather than risk their computer being the one that is subpoenaed to destroy the case.
The unauthorized access was easy to avoid - turn off updates. Microsoft will argue that all those popups informed users that Windows 10 was an update, and like any other update, if you didn't turn updates off, that's your problem.If the repeated prompts were that much of a pain, a quick search shows what to do.
They will also argue that the maximum liability is set at $5 for the original OS, and Windows 10 is just an OS update, so the liability terms haven't changed.
Which?, or one of their staff, should take Microsoft to court if they got hit with the update. Not going to happen - it's easy to vent on the internet, hard to actually do something in the real world.
Having a web page about it is far and away meager compared to public speeches by the likes of Clint Eastwood and Charlton Heston and fundraising in support of the 2nd amendment. Put a similar effort into enforcing the law and that would tone down the rhetoric on both sides. Of course, not going to happen, because that would interfere with fund-raising from the wild-eyed "gubbermint want to take away mah guns".
Ceramic knives are the real deal. They are razor sharp, and they stay sharp 10x longer than steel. Many come with a lifetime warranty and lifetime sharpening. And you can get different colors for the blade. You could easily maim / kill someone with a ceramic knife.
