Only if it is poorly designed and/or built. They've been doing electrical engineering for over a hundred years and there is no excuse for ANY appliance to catch fire. Only if it lists a country of manufacture such as China and/or India. If the country makes a point of stealing jobs, it's bound to have a horrible quality and human rights record.
They have to pay for the $7,000,000 jet and the various other expenses to keep unions at bay somehow. All that expense wasted when they could just go with a fair negotiation and perhaps bring back what was lost to NAFTA.
Nice, but it doesn't mean much if you're in a hypervisor restricted sandbox without access to RSX or certain media functions. It's not as if there will be much threat (that can't be accounted for) if they did anyway.
It's fine that they've loaded that on there, but I doubt that any of those models are equipped with Flexview(the highest quality display that can be had for now). There may be attempts to imitate it, but there's nothing that they have so far that comes close.
It's one of the things that made a Thinkpad (for having it available). It doesn't matter much on what software is shipped, but the hardware faces you every day.
thats right ! i got rid of all my sun servers from my datacenter years ago and replaced them w/ ibm's running linux. At least IBM gets virtualization right, on high-quality hardware(longer hardware lifetimes compared to Sun's HCL Game), and still has a large US presence. Sun just wants to look like they're going to die.
Which, of course, is the way it's always been: If you want absolute job security, then you need to be able to provide a service which no one else is capable of providing. ...Or you could get rid of the various anti-union laws such as Taft-Hartley (and progeny thereof such as "Right to Work"), and allowing card-check as long as they allow unionbusting firms to exist(equal amounts of coercion).
That, or work for the US Government, and get a high-level clearance. Then your job security is a function of national security, and something not meant to die off.
I know this will probably get modded troll Well, it'd be quite deserving of it, the way you're talking about change.
but I think many people need to face reality. Maybe you're pushing something at the wrong pace, and perhaps in the wrong way. Don't be surprised if you get tons of resistance going the wrong way about it.
The world changes. Attitudes change. It's better to face it head on and be prepared than deny it and be jobless with no skills. Then adapt the change to fit the needs and desires of those who are facing it. That's how change is accomplished, not by playing God and not making the transition smooth. That means taking care of your own first, then moving as needed. It may be slower, but it certainly keeps people in work. Shoving it down their throats until they swallow doesn't make for a good plan, which you seem to advocate. The only proper response to your kind of change is outright resistance that cannot be overcome.
I think the writing is on the wall that system administrators are going to go the way of the tv repairman. Very doubtful. It'll only just move them to a role closer to the network. They'll still be plenty to go around, and at the hosted services at worst.
While the car has a top end of around 75mph, the wheel bearings take a real beating at anything over 45mph. At least the Yugo was designed for 55mph speeds, and not to bludgeon itself to death past a certain speed. On top of that, the Yugo has more bit more room, engine power, and overall reliability - and that's speaking well of the Yugo.
The only way that's getting to the US is in the form of a glorified golf cart, which wouldn't be that bad for that kind of use. Otherwise it's not going to leave that part of the world.
Of those who hate Detroit(as well as GM), have you driven/owned any of the GM models for longer than a lease period?
While there are defects, they do provide performance and fuel efficiency (without being an entire line of small-body cars). 19/27 is fine enough if you think of said size and performance, and they are indeed improving on that as well.
Thanks to such bashing of GM, their cars are quite affordable. For those who want their performance built-in and not bolted on, GM will continue to exist (and as a force not to be messed with). They fill a huge void that no Asian or European manufacturer will.
The hate just is irrational, and they'd be able to do better if they had 1)Taft-Hartley banished from the books and 2)professional unionbusting become a punishable offense by any means.
I have no shame for driving and buying one of the nation's finest craftsmanship- with GM fully involved in it. Stated examples are made by companies that understand the US(opposed to those who just rehash a design from their own far-removed country). Just keep those environmentalists and oil speculators off the car.
Legislation is a poor substitute for listening to the will of the consumer who sees his dollars as votes. Unfortunately that means that GM will be here for quite a long while. If it's that bad, it'd also be time to get rid of unionbusting laws.
How about cars that dont get shitty gas mileage? How about the other parts of the world work on performance without exhorbitance? GM gets that done well, and will have quite a permanent place (without having to rely on the Taft-Hartley crutch).
GM's going to make it to 2015 and beyond - there will be no short supply of people who wish to have cars that aren't underpowered (but have all the muscle on them) and not overpriced.
...I'm fine with any inbound(and outbound) flights with an origin(or destination of any sort) in that region of the world getting a full inspection. It is only fair that we look for our national security that business wants to give up too easily.
Toyota(and most of the automotive design in that part of the world) isn't about to make anything w/ more than an underpowered engine for a car body if they can help it. There are some cars they can't seem to make, and that is what The Big Three(GM/Ford/Chrysler) will(and quite well).
GM at least pairs cars up with something that is there for more than just fuel efficiency, and if it's not in the price range, it will be there after it comes off someone's lease. They just need to have some regulation named Taft-Hartley repealed to let them do their work(optionally making unionbusting by any means illegal, for those "labor consultants").
also I'm sure this can't be too great for the Chinese company. I'm no economist but it seems like something you wouldn't want happening. Unfortunately it was due to spam, but it's still a victory.
Well if so, that's also good because the more damage we can do to any Chinese company, the better They're oppressive, arrogant, censors who don't hesitate to pollute the Earth and ruin actually good businesses by selling toxic and incredibly low quality or illegal goods to the rest of the world. Get rid of their undercutting of the US by any means necessary. Even if it means heavy tariffs on any region not meeting US standards, go ahead and do so. Just make sure that said measure makes it possible for the US to ignore them and succeed.

Well, it won't matter if it's only in that class and not in the rest of the passenger compartment of the plane.
Before this gets modbombed as well(Apparently someone decided to doubly modbomb me with all their points across a few articles)...
Right now, the highest IPS equipped model you can get that is still common is the 2623DDU.
The only good thing Lenovo has done is remove the exclusivity to their Reserve Edition, the rest is iffy at best.

That would be an improvement.

Apparently you've looked too much at Toyota to pay attention that Buick has a model that does it.

Only if it's a Japanese import with more than an underpowered engine under the hood.
Parent is yet another redirect to some "shock site" of sorts.

This is one of the not-so-few times Congress got it right, as that's what it is.
No thanks - but if you have to bind something to an online-only service to crack, you're asking for problems.
