You really want to pay more for your groceries, for your deliveries, for your repairs, for... well, pretty much anything?
Aside from the moral issue of uprooting established illegals that have made a life for themselves over the last 10 year, to answer your question economically, YES YES and YES! When you import cheap labor, not only are you leaving Americans without an opportunity to earn a living, you now drive wages into the ground and force all those effected into taking more government assistance. That assistance is payed for by the tax payer. And who shoulders the cost? The broad numbers of the middle-class. As such, the disparity between the rich and poo/middle class is growing exponentially!
Pay now, or pay dearly later, but we all WILL PAY in the end.
The problem with using hydrogen in an ICE is an issue with 'hydrogen embrittlement'. It basically causes cracks to form in steel. In the case of a Wankel, a steel based apex seal would have a short life. I'm not sure what hydrogen would do to a more expensive silicon nitride apex seal however over its life.
With regards to why hydrogen is more efficient in an ICE; I think it has to do with detonation duration and time in the chamber. With a piston, there longer travel time for the gases to detonate and expand. In a Wankel engine, only 1/3rd of rotary is traveling (rotating) during the combustion phase, so a shorter duration in the chamber is an advantage here.
Want a chance of smacking this down via SCOTUS?? Do *NOT* elect Hillary Clinton!!! SCOTUS will be undergoing a generational change, and the next POTUS will be picking replacements.
This next election is not about Trump or Hillary; this election is about remaining a sovereign country with our constitutional rights, or not! Choose wisely.
I'm just waiting for some asshole to compile a real biological virus that -oops- wipes out all of humanity and not just the dude that banged his fantasy girlfriend.
1. NK views Trump as a threat to their regime, thereby hoping Hillary Clinton wins by getting the voter to turn on Trump. 2. NK is taking the diplomatic approach ahead of time in the event Trump does become the next President.
NEVER install the first major release; always wait for the subsequent followup version. So while the first major release may be final RTM, it's still an initial beta test once the public starts to use it.
I don't think anyone disputes that notion. However, there IS a product lifecycle with most, if not all, commercial software. As such, mainstream support for Windows 7 ended January 13, 2015, with extended support for January 14, 2020. Basically, all features were frozen on or before the end of mainstream with security patches still being offered through till 2020.
As for Windows 8 - January 9, 2018 mainstream - January 10, 2023 extended. Though, if you have Windows 8, there isn't much of a reason not to upgrade to Windows 10.
Windows 10 - October 13, 2020 mainstream - October 14, 2025 extended.

Yeah, I know; the EU mandated universal charging standards and this is what we get. You would think as large as Apple is, they could have thrown the industry a bone and opened up the Lightning port as an open/free standard. But nooOOooooo.
This fall, my next laptop might very well be Windows. The fact the MBP lineup has been flat these past generations, combined with some really fucking stupid decisions (USB-C), and now this fiasco with the iPhone 7... yeah, Apple, your innovation has been sucking balls lately.
I refuse to support the N. Korean regime at any level. Any growth in their GDP will be redirected to their military. Purchasing the Manbang it tantamount to putting a down payment on a noose; one thread at a time.
They had their chance, and blew it. Not USB-C is the defecto standard mandated be the EU for universal charging. Why else do you think the MacBooks are going this route? Lowest common denominator. And yes, Lightning is a superior connector.
You know, I never have problems running 1080 or 4k content in a browser (Netflix or Youtube) with my Intel i7-3770 with / GeForce G2X 275 desktop. However, CPU usage goes up and frames start dropping the moment I rent an HD movie from iTunes. Why, for the love of all that's holy, is iTunes still the biggest pile-o-shit on a PC??!!
President Obama demolished the House Republicans in the 20-on-1 health care mini-debate
Not a single Republican voted for Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare). Not a single one!
Jonathan Gruber, (professor at MIT) even said that the whole point was to fleece the American public so that ACA could both be passed and accepted. Of course, the real reasons is to break the healthcare industry into submission so that phase II could be enacted with future legislation - single payer (national health care). Meaning, this whole song-and-dance was to recalibrate the expectations of what the "new normal" is, and should be. You take something that was functional, make it really bad, then make it somewhat better to gain praise. It's the high low middle game; it's an old sales tactic!
Real pros want reliable closed systems that function without modification.
Which professionals are you talking about here? Are you talking about salesmen, executives, or develops? Because, there's a different machine for different needs. If you're a traveling salesman or executive, the MacBook Air would be the better options. Student, or SoHo user? Macbook. Developer that needs to expand capability with their future needs? Macbook Pro all the way baby!!!
I need a machine were I can drop in a larger M.2 SSD. I need a machine were I can run multiple VMs (VMWare Fusion) at the same time for testing; simulating domain or cluster environments prior to deployment. I need a machine were I'm burning through so much CPU cycles that I'm constantly charging and discharging the battery pack - it too will need to be replaced every 2 and half years or longer (if I'm lucky). I need a machine with CRUs (Customer Replaceable Units/parts) festooned in the build. I DO NOT WANT FIXED ALL ON ONE MOTHERBOARD. Fuck - that - shit!!!
Just FYI, for anyone else that doesn't know: What ArmoredDragon speaks of with regards to the progressive mindset is really rooted in the politics and philosophy of Woodrow Wilson. The arrogant, erudite, elitist man with a heaping amount of hubris on his shoulder.
Here is what's to become of modern computing in the enterprise world.
-Staff orientation on situational awareness. There are high-tech cons artists that will scare or otherwise coax them into running malware. PEBKAC is the primary initiator of this. Antimalware software is only there to catch you when you fall; it's not guaranteed to protect you all the time. Malware is a moving target to stop.
-Pure SSD SAN/NAS storage. Once TBs of data gets whacked, you will need a quick way of restoring it; paying the ransom is NOT the option. Thankfully the hardware is dropping in price as the technology matures.
-Air gaping of networks will become increasingly important.
-Can't really go back to deadwood (filing cabinets and paper) as an ultimate physical reference source, but I suspect there will be the resurgence in Next Generation microfiche technologies. I'm not kidding.
Complete with a cloud workforce; as in, not in the US, Europe, or anyplace else that's "too expensive". Don't you love it? The wealth is being bled dry from the West by K Street while the majority is in flight to the East. So while the vampires feed off the middle class, these globalists are thriving off the backside of others labor.
Windows now requires monthly payments to use Microsoft services. If you do not agree to pay monthly fee you will not be able to access Microsoft services. This means you won't be able to login to your computer and access any of your data until such time as you agree to pay.
And all data on local disks are encrypted for your security. In the unlikely event your laptop is stolen, the drive can't be mounted. To maintain access to your data, it's imperative to have your subscription set to auto-renew on a credit card - in fact, we demand it.
MS = Mafia Software. "How would you like your kneecaps broken today"
The proper asshole move of M$ would be to bake the Windows licensing check into Cortana - with explaining warnings that an internet connection is required It could check every day, but then go into limp-mode if it can't phone home within 30 days of being offline or some such. Oh, and if you tell M$ that you need a true offline stand-alone air gapped PC, they would happily tell you to go Linux. Truly, with the massive amounts of re-occuring revenue from a subscription model, your usage scenario isn't worth their fucking time.
SMB market is basically the SOHO market now in the worldview of MS. I mean, they're not, but the focus is one in the same really. Their focus is Enterprise, like Cisco is for networks. They've already ended the Windows SBS line and replaced it with the Windows Essentials; e-mail is now to be hosted in Office365. When you amortize the cost of new hardware and licensing, it makes sense. There's more pro's then con to the deal. But really, truly, any SMB market focus is going to be *AS (*anything* As a Service) model. I'm sure at some point, the Enterprise edition of Windows 10 will be an added licensing to be purchased in Office365 as well. Just click, buy, download to USB, execute, upgrade. Ta da!!!

Kinda hard to do that when the person holding it doesn't respect the office himself. Just sayin.
