How widespread is this certainty of yours? Probably more common with a guy who's been playing for a couple decades - including 10 yrs in the NFL - than the typical RB that only lasts 3 yrs.
Uh huh. Because I've never had a background screening company call me as a reference *after* the applicant (my friend) told me he had received an offer.
No kidding - open up OBD-II port, let me mount a small tablet in the middle of the dash, integrate steering wheel controls for sound and climate control... we'll take car of the rest.
What you fail to see is that all the costs are passed to the people eventually anyway. It's your food and merchandise being put on those trucks - why shouldn't you pay for it?
In the end, it's either lazy teachers not willing to come up with new material or lazy students not wanting to learn the material. You can't fix lazy and the cheaters will be outed eventually.
You don't know their departmental protocols, so why are you picking apart their actions? When you see the tazer pulled out, that means that the officer is prepared to use it. Set the iPhones down, start talking rationally, and things won't escalate. Let's not assume there was no adequate warning given.
and how do we keep idiots like the entire republican party
Man, you put together an interesting argument, then I see the diarrhea oozing down your leg. When you make jackass sweeping generalizations, you need to be ignored until you learn to play better with others.
This. All day long. Standardize the communication with the rest of the car like ODBII so a tablet can command thermostat control, the sound system, etc via a USB or HDMI cable. Let the tablet handle voice control, UI, and new bells and whistles that come along the way. Let the cyanogens of the world come up with the coolest displays. The manufacturer still gets to put in their premium sound systems and charge for making the integration possible, but why would you not put in a $200 display that is easily updated? Hell, they could push the updates out without requiring the car to visit the dealership.
Actually you both would do well to do a little refresher on economies of scale. More is always better - your cost per unit eventually starts going back up.
No offense and I'm not intending to troll, but I'm glad I don't have OCD. Nor am I an avid reader. Unless you know there's a really good chance you'll want to read it again, why hang on to it? People amass these libraries of books much like trophies.... not books.
I've only worked for one. Ego maniac entrepreneur. I had part ownership in a company that was sold to a new buyer. I was bought out and made happy, and was still interested in staying on with the company. The new owner wanted to rewrite the ecommerce platform (mostly at my suggestion). He talked to some consultants who said they could do it in 3 months. I let him know that simply would not happen - too much to do, especially considering they never spoke with me to see what all would need to be done. He slowly got rid of all the legacy staff, including me, within the next few months as the consultants ran the bill up from the estimated $100k to over $400k. Four years later, I checked in - yep, still on the old platform. Word has it that that their IT staff is now 6 people, up from the 1 that managed the system before.
What made him evil? He went out of town on vacation and sent other employees to our office to shut us down. Coward. I was one week out from having knee surgery too.
You should probably write GM, Google, and any number of other companies working on this a sternly-worded letter of advice. They probably don't even realize that you have it all figured out already.
Meanwhile, learn to think outside the box, dream a little, and believe that things can, and do, actually change. We'll see this stuff by the end of the decade. Maybe not full-fledged self-driving cars, but more stuff will become automated: interstate driving, car following (we're already seeing this!), and then eventually point-to-point. Early adopters will fund the R&D and the price will quickly come down.

I would say your web analytics are telling you that Android tablets aren't being used for web browsing.... or maybe just browsing your site(s).
Dude, finance 101. You should really consider it.
If you invest money in ANYTHING and accept interest, dividends, or options, you're a hypocrite. Interest is paid in exchange of risk.
What you fail to see is that all the costs are passed to the people eventually anyway. It's your food and merchandise being put on those trucks - why shouldn't you pay for it?
So... like test banks at any college club?
In the end, it's either lazy teachers not willing to come up with new material or lazy students not wanting to learn the material. You can't fix lazy and the cheaters will be outed eventually.
What if online learning is just as effective and cheaper? Does it still make sense to pay teachers to do it?
You mean the same cheating that traditional classrooms eliminated... never?
For the last few years, I've been using Android tablets ... I started out with a Motorola Xoom
How can you have been using something "for the last few years" when it's been out less than 2?
This is just the price of manufacturing coming down. People have been free to make anything for quite a while now. Ask any machinist.
That same lunatic can inflict the same damage driving a car into a crowd, but guns are the problem. Do I have that right?
The tackling is where the injury typically happens. The tazer put her on the ground and they restrained her. Get excited much?

And teh speeell check is mush better.

And if we're being honest, Texas only makes the list because of the big liberal cities like Houston that drive their economy.
Would that be the same liberal Houston that went Obama by 2 votes?

Employees who believe their sole responsibility is ass-covering are a boat anchor tied around the neck of any enterprise.
Then you should be shown the door as well. Corporate lawyers would tend to think you're a moron.
f****d
Is that pronounced "fucked"?

Desperate might not be the right word as they're still bringing in truck loads of money. How about ... misguided?
