I remember kids hating them because they were outdated and we were forced to use them. This was likely because schools kept them a long time. Also because we were kids, who always hate whatever authority suggests they do.
Yes, it does. Yes, it is a hybrid. A diesel could do it too though. You can get pretty close in a economy car these days too. No, an F150 that only gets driven to an office job and the kids soccer practice won't get that kind of mileage. Not my fault that is what people buy.
$200 - $600 a month sounded like payments to me, that is really all their is too it. I don't consider 9000 miles nothing. you must run a lot more than me to cover that kind of ground.
The kids who used those machines in the 80s, many schools still had them in the early 90s as well, grew up with a dislike of Apple computers because they were uncool due to the association with school. This meant later they did not buy them.
Hell, if they did not delay updates by 3+ months I might even pay their insane charges. My Not A Nexus Galaxy Nexus was the straw that broke the camels back. I will be buying my phone right from the company selling them next time.
Because kids avoided Apple computers like the plague afterwords. Sure it helped for the time they were selling them, but a couple years later those kids remembered apple as the uncool computers the teachers made you use.
This will be as bad for it as it was for Apple. Kids will think of Surface RT as that stupid thing the teachers make them use and how inferior it is to whatever they have at home or whatever smart device they normally use.
Making kids use something is a sure fire way to get them to hate it.
Where do you live that this is true? I find it hard to believe there is no other carrier at all. Have you tried getting a phone from another carrier to try? They normally have some trial devices or ones you can get for X days and return if you do not like.
My contract expires in March and I am done with them then. It is actually more about lack of timely updates than money at this point. I hope VZW never gets another nexus device.
Load sensors all over the bodywork can handle this. I expect what to do afterwords can be sorted out by a human remotely in some call center in a third world country.
I think at first they will be freeway only. Which will limit my desire for one, since my desire for one is going to be related to being able to drink while out and about.
Short of depreciation I am not hitting those numbers. Maybe when my car gets older. I spend less than $100 a month on full coverage and maybe $50/month in gas. I only do only changes every 10k miles so that costs me $50 a year since I don't often drive 10k miles in a year. This means tires last me 4-5 years as well.
Good luck getting him to pay. He just won't. At least vomit you can clean out. When he decides to remove the seats or do other damage you will really be SOL.
I dislike their total ripoff practices. To keep my plan I have to pay "full price" for the next phone. Yet, I get no discount. The full price is actually more than what they retail for if not bought from verizon.
Not to mention their inability to provided/allow timely updates for non-fruit devices. My next device will not be on their network.
Hitting a pedestrian is pretty easy to detect at any speed. Why would it continue driving?
This is not a corner case this is something that is known from the beginning and planned for.
Humans do not logically deal with unexpected events. Note all the old geezers driving into buildings or people pulling into oncoming traffic to avoid rear ending the car in front of them instead of pulling onto the shoulder. Humans in general are terrible at logical reactions to unexpected conditions.

Read what I said again.

Michael dell suggesting they wind down the company and pay the money back to the investors does not count?
You don't remember Apple nearly dying when those kids started to become consumers in their own right?

I am paying $3.50/gallon at 50mpg and only traveling ~9000 miles per year. I live about 5 miles from work.
These are of course estimates, so call it +/-$10/month.
My car is getting ~50mpg, that's 4.7l/100km to you. I don't drive very far either.
Oil is a once a year thing, since I don't drive 10k miles in a year. Tires would be every 4 or 5 and brakes would be every couple years tops.

Bumps in the road are not normally above bumper height.

Those folks need to stop drinking and driving. I don't pay $200 a month in insurance for two cars, one with full coverage.
I spend maybe $50 a month on gas, and that much on maintenance would have me soon replacing the car.
$100 a month? How far are you driving?
I spend maybe $50, and more likely far less unless I take some long trips.
Good luck getting him to pay.

Yup, grandfathered unlimited plan and far less minutes than they now offer.
The point is if I have to pay full price I want a discount. I will want a new phone when my contract expires so I will go elsewhere.

The issue there is, who cleans your car when some drunk going home from a weekend bender pukes in it?

How about you go to the track?
The public roads do not exist for you to joyride on.
Also they need a human to take it to the door and ring the bell. How am I going to know the truck is outside?
If you are paying 200-600 a month you do not own a car. That is when the bank owns the car and you are buying it in installments.
And?
Voyager is working fine in deep space. Even that is not very close to another star system.
Go look at the distances we are talking about.
What start system is close enough for that?
Even if we could go some significant percentage of C it seems pretty unlikely to be worthwhile.
