Give me a break. Small businesses are some of the biggest tax frauds out there. I don't know a single person who owns a small business who is honest with their taxes. I guarantee that me and my w2 - mortgage interest pay a higher rate than 95% of small businesses as they drive around in their $45k company trucks with the mag wheels and deduct their trips to the grocery store for milk as company miles.
Not meaning to totally bash on them, just get tired of them being considered the holy grail of the economy and a bunch of do no evils.
And why do they need proof? Because in 40 years we haven't matched the accomplishment. We're going on two generations removed from the event. It's hardly mentioned in the history classes and we all know the state of the education system so in many places it probably isn't mentioned at all. There are very very few deniers, but scores of those who are ignorant to the fact, and human nature will put those who don't know as knee jerk naysayers.
If you can't maintain progress, the achievements of the past fade away.
Pandas didn't originally eat bamboo. They are so lazy that they chose to stop eating what bears normally eat and start on bamboo because they can sit on their butts all day and eat, despite the fact they can't properly digest it. Pandas are a waste.
For the Leaf they give 30 minutes for 30 miles using a faster charger. For simplicity, assume driving 60mph, so your 30 minute commute now takes an hour. And this was for the fastest charge that they talk about replacing a gas station, at $40k installation it certainly isn't for the home. Not impressed.
If this mentioned post Columbine and 9/11 I would have thought Katz had returned. This is simple gibberish by someone who thinks they are smarter and more clever than they really are.
Your parents aren't your friends (in real life), and neither are your teachers. There are more than sufficient ways for teachers to communicate with their students in a professional way. Facebook is not one of them.
It'd only be broken if the state lost money. Which it doesn't. Total payout is never more than the state collects. The only thing being trickled down is what it would dole out in winnings. As the article says, these people spending hundreds of thousands of dollars lost their shirts when one of the bulk sales happened to hit the jackpot and it wasn't them, starving the lower winnings of their cash.
"Besides heavy-duty equipment, such as an oscilloscope, plasma cutter and miter saw, there are some children's toys. "
Woah, talk about heavy duty. a miter saw!!! Seriously, I can get a plasma cutter from Harbor Freight for like $500 (After my 20% off coupon of course:)
They weren't that bad and did try but were unable to set up the exact environment with an actual iRig and guitar (or equivalent) so the best they could do is try to simulate it and ended with a 'I believe...'. I don't want to sound too harsh, though I will say if they had left me convinced it would do what I wanted they probably could have upsold me into buying the one with more memory that they did happen to have in stock. Far better then you would probably find at Best Buy, but still not a holy grail either.
As far as knowledge base I'm not convinced either. I went in with a simple question of whether garageband would run in the background as I run a guitar tab app and still function and they didn't know the answer. Though I will admit that they at least understood the question, they just didn't know or have a way to verify and answer. I was a little bit disappointed seeing as garageband is an apple app.
Your reading comprehension skills seem to be a bit lacking. At no point do I say it's a problem with Android. The problem is with not being able to enforce strict hardware requirements on a plethora of different hardware. It's a general flaw in the business model. You can't win every fight and when it comes to ensuring that the platform you are targeting will do what you want hardware wise the Apple model simply wins here.
Google needs to start setting some standards. Real time low latency audio is one example. Android will have a hard time getting applications like audio mixers ala amplitube/garageband because of this. iOS has a 4-5ms latency, Honeycomb is down to a 45ms requirement that hardware manufacturers have to meet. No company is ever going to invest money in creating an application where there is no real guarantee of knowing what hardware will be available to even run it.
Something similar to amplitube for the iphone which mixes and models amps and effects similar to a korg pandora. Can't even come close to being able to do it on an Android
45ms "low latency" audio compared to the iWhichever's 10ms. Decent guitar apps are impossible with any Android. Say what you want, Apple seems to do a better job from the get go.

Oxygen Destroyer is what we'll need by the end of next year.

Read the well thought out and put together documentation bwhahaha

When our space program is reduced to trying to impress us all by looking 40 years in the past.

How we can completely cancel out any battery life improvements of the last 10 years.

When the line becomes blurred bad things happen.
Ya, let's ruin a company that largely sells because of it's reputation so we can weasel on some warranties. Make perfect sense!

Like all old shop teachers he likes to lecture about the dangers of the band saw and show off his missing fingers as proof.

Not to mention redundant. The first their tells us who the subject is. There is no reason to reference them again with another they.
"crashing their browser if using IE6" is sufficient.

You likely need help. 99% of your stuff could disappear overnight and you'd never miss it.
Don't mess with the bull, young man. You'll get the horns.
For no other reason than taking his car to a mechanic to have the oil changed.
