Ok, but that's not really what I had in mind with a truck. But ok, in that category of small trucs and delivery vehicules there are plenty of gasline motors.
As mentioned by others, that's not really what the OP was refering to...
Worse counter example ever right? Although the iPhone use a lightning connector, the cable can be connected to any USB port. You can charge your iPhove with any "charging station" with USB port. So technically, it can charge using the existing standards, even if on the phone side, the connector is different. (Although, I'll give your the credit to some part of your argument, as the OP was referring to the connector on the phone side).
The same could go with cars... if they use a propriatery connector on the car side, that's the car maker problem... as long as the other side fits in a standard charging station, all is perfect.
I think your are mixing things up. The iPhone 4 was not the 4th generation of a product. It was the 4th series of mobile telephone produced by Apple, but the first geneation of that particular series. Depending on what you call a generation, your might agree or not with this view, but considering very little remained from the 3rd series in the design of the 4th, I'm inclinded to believe this view is correct.
It's a bit like with cars... you never buy the first cars produced on a new production line. never. If your do, you'll pay for it. Even if model X was sold previously, maybe from different production lines, the first generation of model X built on a new line will always be flawed (both due to production adjustment and engineering flaws). This is the "rule" which was refered to and it holds quite well for the iPhone 4, I would say.
That's totally absurd. I can't believe a service provider like Godaddy has no record history or history of customer information change. Of course, this historical informaiton may not be available to the first level of customer support. But come on... that shouldn't be the end of it.
Actually, I'm surprised that a service like Godaddy doesn't have checks in place for cases like this. An account where ALL the customer information is changed within a short period of time, should raise alarm bells. The owner, under the contact information previously available, should automatically be contacted.
Indeed. Working with a meteorology research center that has been studying the polar vortex year after year for many decades, I find that remark in TFS quite out of place.
News meteorologist are quite fond of playing with hype... Just wait until one "figures out" that there is a link between the polar vortex and the ozone hole *gasp*
Ah yes the memories! I also remember my original floppy of MS Flight Simulator (no sure if it was 1 or 2) infected with ping pong. That was the good ol' times with funny viruses.
That's exactly the point. They report to him what they want him to here... he bases his decision on these information. Without omniscience, he is just a pawn of the permanent government. He has the power to do a lot of thing, most of them he cannot do for different reasons. Furthermre, he can only exercise his power based on the information he has at hand.
The only thing a president might be able to do about this, is place the right people at the right jobs to be sure he gets the correct (and sufficient) information to execute his power. And I wouldn't place to much hope in this working, while these key persons too are just pawn of the established administration sitting under them.
When you are sick, you are sick. There is no such thing as a sick day bank. Of course, you need medical attestation. In 2012, I had a pneumonia. The doctor wrote me sick 3 weeks. So I had 3 weeks to recover.
Of course, if you are sick too often, your boss might have a talk with you, to see if the working conditions are having a negative effect on your health.
Thats for big companies. In smaller companies with few employees its difficult and a bit tricky, but the general guidelines are the same.
This may surprise a lot of people here, but in Germany the general rule is, if you get sick on vacation days and have a medical attestation prooving it, your affected (infected?) vacation days go back in your unused vacation.
There are routine 747 flights over Antarctica which never land there, sight-seeing only through little airliner windows.
Might be, but the goal of the these flights is not to fly over Antarctica, but to link cities between Australia and South America or Africa. Special regulations apply for those flights, along with operational limitations.
Of course, this is a metaphor, saying they moved the data in a manner not to be detected, although I suspect that is not quite accurate. Most likely they did make a lot of noise while moving the data, but no one listened.
I've read a lot of speculative answers here. Cheeper, easier, closer to manufacturing, etc. I'll add another one no one dared to write or thought possible... Maybe are engineers elsewhere better and/or more efficient.
I'm not there and can't really do more than speculate, but from an outsider perspective, it seems that engineering is on a sharp decline in the US. I know there are a lot of very competent and skilled engineers in the US, but there are also a lot of very bad ones, which seem to have been betrayed by the education system (this is my own observation). Only the few who get the chance to enter the right school for their field seem to have proper formation. Other often show potential, but lack the tools and their skills are not properly developed.
In such a context, I am certain the good ones are quickly placed... Remains the others one the job market. For companies looking for engineers which don't have the connexions to get the better ones, this must be very frustrating. I would also consider looking elsewhere...... If I havne't already because of financial reasons, practicality, etc.
Never. Per the last few hundred years of legal precedent, the companies are the victims. It's in the same category as leaving a house unlocked. Legally, the person at fault is the one who decided to abuse the flaw and access information they aren't supposed to.
Have fun trying to sell that to your insurance company.
Oxygen becomes quite a problem after 1.6 bar (or 1.6 atm) partial pressure. Exposure to 1.0 bar partial pressure O2 can be tollerated up to 5 hours. With 1.6 bar partial pressure O2 circa 15 min. There are also cumulative exposures limits to be followed. Divers doing deep dives or dives using compressed air with enriched O2 (Nitrox) use tables to find out their exposure limit to oxygen.
The maximum exposure limit for non-professional divers is commonly given to be 1.4 bar partial pressure O2, with short excursions to 1.6 bar in case of emergencies. If you are having 100% oxygen, you have 1 bar partial pressure at the surface, 2 bar partial pressure at a depth of 10 m (33 feet).
Deep/Long divers use special (and expensive) gas mixes with reduced nitrogen (replaced with helium) to reduce N2 narcosis effects. Very deep divers could go towards leaner O2 mixes to reduce the partial pressure. But when your are doing those types of diving your are not a sport diver anymore (at least not a typical one) and you will tune the gas mixture specifically for the dives. Technical and professional divers often du 100% O2 decompression at 6 m, which would be a 1.6 bar partial pressure decompression.
In 1000 years, the paper will still be there to tell its story if it is safely stored. Lets try that with digital media or format. I can't even do anything with data from 20 years ago. No disc reader, no software, no computer architecture capable of running the software (in some case this can be solved with emulators).
All my experience go against your statement. I'm running 2 old macs, from 2007 or older. They are still far from obsolete. I did many upgrades myself. I could change any part myself if i had the need to, which i haven't had up to now.
Only problem is the battery of the old mac book pro... Which will surprise no one for a 7 years old notebook.
In the same timeframe, I had 5 pcs - laptop or otherwise. All broke down or went obsolete quite fast. Parts failed fast, although they were high-end expensive machines. Major upgrades were difficult due to technology changes (bus or so).
Looking at the data provided in the summary's link, the value got from under 200 to over 1000 within a month. How is a drop of 50% within a few days any surprising? I would expect any currency that volatile and - above all - unregulated (in the sense of regulation through central banks), to do about anything.

A lot?
In all my life, I can't think about a single example of a truck running on gasoline.

Why would this AC believe this is anything specific to Obama?
That's exactly the point. They report to him what they want him to here... he bases his decision on these information. Without omniscience, he is just a pawn of the permanent government. He has the power to do a lot of thing, most of them he cannot do for different reasons. Furthermre, he can only exercise his power based on the information he has at hand.

The sad part is where you seem think the president has anything to do with this, or, for that matter, anything to say about this.

As soon as you know how fast it is, you have no Idea where it is and lose all the gained time searching for it.

They (theorically) separate the dissolved oxygen from the liquid...
Of course you can survive with 100% oxygen. The question is, how long can you survive with 100% oxygen.
Most divers use compressed air. Nothing else.

Actually, things are pretty fine in Germany.
