As it happens, I just bought a keyless electronic deadbolt. But it is not NFC, bluetooth, keyfob, smartphone, or other 'no touch' unlocking tech. You must either use the key, or enter the PIN on the keypad.
Females can handle g-forces better than males can. OK, all males out of fighter jet cockpits. Women, take over
Females eat less for given output than men. OK, all males out of everyones space program, due to weight considerations.
Females are generally smaller, and can fit into smaller spaces. OK, all males out of the mining industry. Time for the women to step up
Females consume less oxygen than men. OK, males...out of the underwater construction and demolition workforce.
Take care of animals? You're enslaving them. Leave them be? You're allowing them to be killed and eaten by other animals Bash their head in with a rock?? You murderer. Oh wait...that's OK.
NASA is renting hangar space to the Air Force, on a co-located patch of ground, for the USAF to store and maintain its space vehicles. Please tell me why optimal use of existing facilities is 'news'?
Do the words 'Cape Canaveral Air Force Station' mean anything to you?
Right. If you observe any moderately busy intersection, every light change you will see a couple of people sneak through after the red. Idiots. But slow speed idiots. But 10 seconds later at 60MPH? Not unless they were actually asleep or totally distracted.
In this persons case, it was already illegal for her to be on the phone, either talking or texting. In my state, it is/was illegal to use any communication device if you are under 18. So 'a law' or red light camera would have made no difference, because she did not care. It was a usual, every day thing to do. Until she ate the air bag.
A couple of seconds of red light? Sure, I've seen that too.
A full 10 seconds of facing a red light? Far more rare, absent full distraction from something. In this case, it was known and admitted that it was the phone/texting.
Red light cameras are, in theory, a good idea. But it always gets screwed up between the politician and the company supplying it. Ticket revenue split between the city and the camera company. So the controlling parties adjust the settings to provide 'more revenue'....more tickets. Not more safety, more revenue. Add to that the known bribes to the local politician to get them installed in the first place.
Screw you. Drive the car. No one cares if you have to go back out and pick up that special thing from the grocery store. Coordinate that before you get in the car.. Drive the goddamn car.
But, no...you're a special snowflake that can do all of it at once, perfectly and all the time. Hint...no, you can't. You're just a flake.
....who has been on the receiving end of a crash with a phone involved driver....hang up and drive.
There is nothing so important that you cannot pull over and call/text. Nothing. Period.
In my case, she had a full 10 seconds of red light before impact. 10 seconds at 60mph = almost 3 football fields of not looking out the window. Hanging upside down from the seatbelt, covered in broken glass, was not how I expected to spend my lunch hour.
No thanks. Even the basic functionality of what a 'phone' should do has decreased in quality. Greatly We've gone from "So clear you can hear a pin drop" to "Can you hear me now?!?"
Which leads to the current misconception of the word 'drone'. It seems, currently, anything that does not look like a traditional RC airplane (Cessna 172) is called a 'drone'. No matter how it is guided.
"What can we include to meet a specific price point?" In this case, $200.
If that means Feature A (total GB) has to suffer to include Feature B (NFC)....so be it.
Oregon? The state which is on the forefront of considering and testing a GPS based mileage tax?

I've ridden in rear facing seats. USAF C-141. It wasn't fun. For the general population, it is a non-starter.

err...meant to say "Scrubbed due to a boat". Not "launched due to a boat"
Scrubbed, due to some damfool in a boat downrange. Tomorrow @6:19 Eastern.
They already attend. Or should we keep out anyone who thinks differently than you do?
Again, so what? I do not have to agree with everything that goes on around me. And they don't have to agree with me either.
Now...if they lied about the purpose of this conference, that's a whole different story.
So don't go. Let them wallow in their beliefs.
The Toughbook might be an option.

Time to step up!
PETA is *never* happy. No matter what you do.

NASA related is fine. This is merely building management.
Go back 70 years. "NASA sharing runway space with Langley AFB". Whoop-de-do.

I wish it were otherwise, but it isn't.
I kind of missed out eating lunch that day.

Drive the damn car. Talk later.
They will be. Just not as soon as you'd like.
1. iPad Man, for not actually paying attention to his surroundings.
2. Airport security (obviously) for freaking out over the oblivious iPad Man.
How is this different from Microsoft and bundling IE?
