Some businesses might...but with HIPAA laws, banking laws and lawyers, the security of "in the cloud" no matter how
secure, might put some people off on this.
We just ended a period of a global maximum, which, started in the early 1900's, ending in the 1990's.
We have been sliding into another solar minimum. The last one, called the Dalton Minimum, started
in the 1700's to early 1800's.
The Maunder Minimum, caused the Hudson river to freeze, the Thames River to freeze...the period was
known as the little ice age, couple volcanoes burst at the same period of low sun output, which didn't
help either. Some called it "no summer" weather.
Ice might be dissipating, but it will come back big time
Then, either use a PAY version, or be bombed by ads!
Some of these software people are worse than drug dealers.
Get these short attention span, gotta tweet every little thing about my life hooked on
something, then make them pay to not see ads.
You are sent a ticket, that is a "civil" ticket...no points.
You are considered GUILTY unless you can PROVE you are wrong.
Tell me how that is constitutional?
It doesn't fit the business model of carriers & manufactures in the android world.
Why update it, when you can just sell gullible people a new one? Most people (I'm in the USA) still think you have
to purchase one from a carrier, so when they walk in after hearing their phone is "out of date" given most consumers
are well...not very intelligent...will be pushed into a new phone that has the updates already installed.
Then, a year from now they will do it all over again.
#1 reason is the (illegal) TSA treating everyone like a criminal...searching EVERYONE in the name of "safety" (giving up your
rights as a citizen...in the name of security LMAO).
#2, I remember when just 30+ years ago, it was still somewhat of a treat to get on an airliner. I even remember as a kid, anyone
would walk right up to the gate of the airplane, to see someone depart or arrive. Heck, you even got REAL China, REAL stainless
steel knives and forks.
#3, flying today? Nothing more than cattle being transported from one location to the other. Rude people, rude staff at times, courtesty
out the door. Wonder how long it will be, until public transit hand rails will come along, and everyone is made to stand during the flight.
Gotta maximize the passenger load.
Sorry...I'll just drive to where I need to go. Screw the airlines, TSA and all that other crap!
Going to the movies, use to be about watching something on a HUGE screen, with a LOT of sound.
Other than a 10-15 foot tall screen, you can still have a 40-50-60 inch screen, with a lot of sound for
an inexpensive price, enjoy the movie in your own home, eat your own snacks.
Taking a "typical" family of 4 to the movies these days, can, in places, run around 100 bucks by the time
you figure in the gas, tickets, snacks.
Plus, considering the movies released these days, are reboots, or part 5,6,7 of something, there isn't a lot
of movies, for me anyway, that I want to spend a lot of money on.
Overall attendance is theaters is DOWN. I know a few movie theaters that have closed.
Most of the problem, is the over INFLATED prices, not to mention there are more choices today,
but, for me anyway, the lack of CREATIVITY in the movies they do release. When a movie becomes "a hit"
what do they typically do? Part 2,3,4,5,6,7 and on. The story line is nothing more than blowing stuff up,
explosions, CGI with NO SCRIPT.
Get it Hollyweird? NO SCRIPT. The only thing Hollyweird knows how to do these days, is recycle something
that is 20,30 years old.
If a "typical family of four" goes to a first run movie, just in ticket prices, they are looking at usually 30-50 bucks
and at least that amount for drinks/popcorn, not to mention the fuel to get to the movies and back, the hassle
with parking. Or you can WAIT a month or two and see it on redbox for a buck if you really want to see it.
The so called golden era of Hollywood ended, in the 2000's.
Most liberal arts degrees, other than some sort of engineering/science degree are useless.
Yes, you CAN get a degree in art, teaching, lost roman languages etc, but, finding a GOOD paying
job in those fields is very hard to do.
On the other hand, a 2 year technical college, teaching you a TRADE will benefit you more in the long run,
and, you won't be saddled with 20,30,40 thousand dollars or more in debt!
I remember what they were 45 years ago, when I was a teenager just getting my feet wet in electronics.
You could walk into one, talk to the store clerks about what you were building and they would offer suggestion,
different things about electronics.
I went into one about a year ago, looking for a 100uf 25volt electrolytic capacitor, and the clerk had NO IDEA
what I was asking for.
I was pulled off a road, backed up along an entrance to a pasture that had a gate, doing some texting for work.
A sheriff's deputy tapped on my window. Wanted to know if I was ok. Said when he passed by it looked like
I was slumped over the wheel. I said no, I just had some texting for work to do, and pulled off the road to do it.
I think he about fell over and had a heart attack.
It's just not worth it to text/drive. If I'm on the phone, if it is an important, or detailed phone call, I'll pop into a
parking lot because I get animated sometimes with my hands and I know good and well my concentration is
on the call and not the road. Once, I was on an extended call, and I got to my destination and DON'T REMEMBER
how I got there. I use hands free 100% but the distraction is still present.
This is part of the problem with the cost of health care in America. Employer provided health care.
This all got started at the end of WW2, with so many men coming back from WW2, employers were hiring by the truckloads.
To "entice" workers, they started to provide health care coverage. Go forward 70 years and look what happened.
Now, you ask about 99% of the people, what it costs to go to the doctor, and most of them will say "my copay is".
No, that wasn't the question...how much does it cost to go to the doctor? They will look at you with the deer in the headlights
look. They have NO IDEA what it actually costs to go to the doctor, how much their prescriptions costs etc. They only think
they pay the copay and that's it. When the consumer is removed from the ACTUAL cost of healthcare, you see the prices rise
up, like they have. Granted, health care and advancements in technology have extended the health and life of most Americans,
but, with the consumers not "actually" paying for a lot of it, they have no idea how much the costs are, and, being locked into a
health plan, their choices are limited, under that plan, who they can and cannot see. If one doctor charged 85 dollars for an office
visit, and another one charges 40, but the first one is "free" on the plan, which one you think they will see?
With competition taken away, due to employer provided or partially paid for health plans, consumers don't have a lot of choice to
shop around for the best price.
This is an ABUSE of the H1B visa program, clear and simple.
It's been done under democratic "leadership" and republican "leadership"
Why? Simple...$$$$
corporations want to earn more profit, so they outsource for pennies on a dollar, kick back a ton of
so called campaign donations, to ensure that the government goes along with it.

And after the road is complete, it will be DUG it. Dig-Dug
Looks like they already patched it.
Everyone knows the song "my very educated mother just served us nine pizza pies" Adding 102 planets would be impossible for kids to remember LOL.
I do with it as I d*mn well please. If not, I just won't buy it!
When? 10-20 years ago maybe. Have relatives that live in Kirkland (near Redmond) They say it's NUTS to live IN Seattle.

Funny...the lDIOT who was feeding false information, stealing videos etc, is NOW concerned about the "good" internet?
2008 data, from the web, total population is 65,000 people.

You'd think the cable monopolies would see this, but they don't.
These stupid companies using the H1B, to hire people to come here and work for LESS than American workers is crap! Between that and offshoring crap.
I was pulled off a road, backed up along an entrance to a pasture that had a gate, doing some texting for work. A sheriff's deputy tapped on my window. Wanted to know if I was ok.

Not enough space on the shoulders. Although, the benefit would be, the roads would be not as congested with everyone on the shoulder yacking away.

It's more robust, than a silly USB/Lightning connector
