I've been heavily pushing my GF to look at Canada and Europe. Only down side to Europe is 1) Her medical license. 2) Both are parents are very poor and Europe would be very expensive to keep the family in contact. Since we're both from the midwest we're looking at Ontario.
But if you have access to a good machine shop you can print out a model of your engine in wax then create a sand mold off of that. You melt the wax out then pour the engine block in the sand. Then it just needs finished.
Some machine shops that people have access to are much more complex than what Mr. Benz had access to.
Yeah, because Germany (home to the autobahn) doesn't have safety features or emissions regulations.
The truth is that Americans want (not need) horsepower. So while the VW Golf may get 65MPG in England on the smallest engine, they only bring the largest engine to the states. Somehow people have been convinced by detroit that they need 300 HP for a 4 person sedan to get groceries.
My 90 HP TDI gets around just fine and I have no issues on the highway but I despite getting the "Can you take that out on the highway" (people really are that dumb).
It looks like Germany has both a 61 and 71 HP model while the US only has the 71 HP version.
Even then the whole thing is a joke. It should be getting at least twice the fuel economy that it does. The VW Golf in England does.
I didn't say it was impossible. I said it was more difficult to. It was in response to the OP that is being all high and mighty because he's avoiding Apple. Android cell phone companies are no better.
Gates has also done the same thing in Saudi Arabia.
Bill Gates recalls once being invited to speak in Saudi Arabia and finding himself facing a segregated audience. Four-fifths of the listeners were men, on the left. The remaining one-fifth were women, all covered in black cloaks and veils, on the right. A partition separated the two groups. Toward the end, in the question-and-answer session, a member of the audience noted that Saudi Arabia aimed to be one of the Top 10 countries in the world in technology by 2010 and asked if that was realistic. “Well, if you’re not fully utilizing half the talent in the country,” Gates said, “you’re not going to get too close to the Top 10.” The small group on the right erupted in wild cheering.
This is when you say "Ok, our #2 city is ______. If we can't resolve this in the next month we're going to go with them." There are PLENTY of small towns and cities around the country that would jump at the opportunity for Google Fiber (as show in the application turnout).
Let everyone in Kansas City know it's local politics holding stuff up.
I grew up in a house built then, they DID build them different. The house I have was timber frame home. Meaning the entire house is supported by 2'x2' beams running through it. The walls were plaster. They had little 1' wide and very thin boards that covered every wall, then they slathered on what was more or less a thin concrete. I've looked at dry wall funny and gotten holes in it. You could hit the wall as hard as you wanted in my house and it wasn't going anywhere.
Yes the insulation, windows and siding are sub par. But those can easily be upgraded, and even if they weren't the house (unless termines invaded) would probably stand for a much longer time than anything new.
This is how stuff was built in England. They also used much more stone and mortar. Look at how the Romans built stuff. The stuff they built has lasted much longer than anticipated and the stuff that is still around isn't framed wood, it's the heavy duty stuff.
That's old world thinking. I doubt there's been a house built in the last 20 years that is going to last even 50 years. (Aside from the guys that like the monolithic domes). As fast and as cheap as possible. You're just going to live in it for 10 years and flip it when it starts having major problems, that's the American way.
Hell you guys have pubs that are older than some of our city halls and in much better condition.
My mom was trying to organize all 15+ grandchildren for a photo at my Grandmother's funeral. It's probably the first time we've all been together in a long time:
Come on guys, get together, Grandma's only going to die once.
That loophole probably only exists in VA. Most states it's "Has any presence what so ever". So even if they just have a distribution center they still collect taxes.

Take the FE (and the Canadian/European) Equivalent and tada. You can call yourself an engineer.
Just shuffle off the stage.

I double clicked on the .exe my my Mac and Linux machines don't know what to do with it.
It was easier to jailbreak my iPod touch than it was to root Android Optimus V.
I am glad to see Microsoft taking this position

Which means that Apple's version will never see the light of day.
Um. You mean the version that I downloaded with XCode?
