The vast majority could give a rats-ass about how efficient the machines are. Machines are replaced as they wear out and/or is software-wise obsolete. Cost is a factor in what hardware gets purchased. If a company is really looking to save energy, you start with a GPO (Group Policy Object) that defines power management setting at idle.
Market segmentation. They know gamers have fuck-tons of cash to spend on water cooling and SLI video setups; Intel wants a cut of their gaming budget to be blown on the CPU. Likewise, there's huge money in the workstation / server market, again, milking that too. Ever wonder why ECC is only found in the Xeon line? Again, market segmentation.
Sorry everyone! It's my fault. I just e-filed the day before because I'm due for a big refund. They didn't like that, so conveniently a hardware problem occurred.:(
I'm already paying for data with my iPhone, and I've never got beyond my 4GB cap. I just pipe ihartradio and Pandora through the Lightning cable; although BT Audio paring works, I prefer to keep my phone charged while on the road. FYI, I'm using an Aftermarket head unit (Alpine).
At least PBS has quality content still, honestly. Nova has gone down hill a bit in presentation, but that's a generational culture thing. As a Gen-Xer, personally despise anything with hype, melodrama, and electric guitar riffs in a DOCUMENTARY! Frontline OTOH, still golden; probably the best non-biased documentary series out there.
With iHeart, the selection goes beyond local and thus a whole lot more content is available. I live in Houston but can listen to AM radio (WOR) in New York if I wanted too. In fact, often I will listen to 740AM (KTRH) in my car rather than just tune with the radio simply because at audio is so much better; no fading, static, hissing, etc.
The native western population is in decline (because raising a family is expensive). The global elite are looking at importing future -dependent- voters so they can vote for the same assholes that keep them into indentured servitude in the first place. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I suspect this is why the dealer in Humble,TX (not sure about others), refurbishes existing vehicles. I've heard many of them required frame realignment due to lack of structural rigidity from the gal-wing design.
Oh, i'm sure this will drag out just long enough for the Trans Pacific Trade deals with pass as treaty biding. Then, this issue will be treated ex post facto, no?
True, but money is just a social contract. "Wealth" doesn't imply resources, it's a standing in social hierarchy; and the benefits the rank provides. For example, does a Hollywood actor produce a tangible benefit to society over say, a construction worker or engineer? Hell no! But they become wealthy because we assign value to them in the form of attention and the money we throw their way to gain access to their attention.
An economist undestands math. Math doesn't lie. But applying meaning to those numbers, that's where everyone (including myself) eventually gets it wrong. People are complicated.
Of course, the reality is that these employers will seek radical outsourcing first, but if they all try that all at once, congress would have no choice but to intervene and introduce new labor and subcontracting laws.
Don't take this personal, because I believe you mean well. But I woke up this morning with a visceral reaction to BS this morning! In case you haven't noticed, Congress and the current POTUS are bought and paid for. Paul Ryan and the rest are full pro-outsourcing!!! It cuts right through party lines. As such, while I agree with you they should, they would never slit their own throat being the abject whores in office that they are!!
Stress is also why people will vote for people like Trump or Sanders. They're tired of being used up by the elite only to be expended like a used husk and replaced with fresh young replacements. Does the world really need 6 billon people on the planet when the "owner class" use automation and robotic to replace people" These political and owner class elite should be so damn lucky civil war hasn't started yet and they be overthrown in a French Revolution style result.
"You can't just continue growth for the sake of growth in a world in which we are struggling with climate change and all kinds of environmental problems. All right? You don't necessarily need a choice of 23 underarm spray deodorants or of 18 different pairs of sneakers when children are hungry in this country. ~ Sanders
He's also against Uber because it's "unregulated" echoing voice of Europe; being articulated euro socialist, no surprise there. But since we're talking about regulating the "unregulated" you could throw in the entire West Coast gig economy right along in there too.
He's not smart. In fact, he's a self-addmited communist sympathizer link text having traveled to the nations that espouse it's views directly (USSR, Cuba, Nicaragua)
Right, with the primary emphasis on pollution they cause. My comment was in regards to the folly of China only registering electric cars instead of modern diesel cars; their electric power generation is a joke and thus you're only moving the pollution to another area.
You know, in most parts (if not all), you're lucky if you can even get up to 2/3rds the top speed there compared to the US and parts of Europe. That, and you'll be stuck in slow rolling traffic in the major cities anyways. So correct me if I'm wrong here, but I doubt the Chinese would notice a difference in driving with a mandated software update to existing VWs and Skodas on the road. And to my knowledge, China doesn't mandate annual inspections of vehicles. As long as it doesn't throw black and blue smoke, it's deemed "clean". Just get those diesel cars mandated to have a firmware update and the nearest dealer - free of cost - (paid for by the automotive company) within the proceeding 12 months.
it's turbocharged *and* supercharged -- apparently supercharged at low RPM and then turbocharged at higher RPM)
I would think the opposite with regards to fuel efficiency - mainly turbo, and the supercharger gate closes when extreme power is needed. But otherwise yes, for most power to be available and on-demand, it would be supercharger first, then pile on the turbo later (due to its turbo lag at lower RPM).
Supercharging is inherently a parasitic process that feeds off the engine to make more. Modern superchargers have a gate that boosts the engine under load when needed. The advantage is that you can effectively turn a 4 cylinder into 6 cylinder making power-plant. But the savings in weight trades off increase fuels consumption, increase internal stresses (wear and tear), and yet another mechanical part that will eventually need servicing (the blower).
With tuber chargers, you have turbo lag (negative intake manifold pressure) when just puttering around at a constant speeds. Its only under load does the turbo capture the energy from exhaust back pressure and spool the intake turbine for boost. While more efficient that a supercharger, it too suffers the same drawbacks of stress and vastly more complex in plumbing and subjected heat the components are exposed too compared to a supercharger.
The real problem with China is their population density and lack of emission controls. The need to spread out, install scrubbers for their coal fired plants, and transition to nuclear. Besides, most of the automobile pollution isn't gasoline cars, it's from diesel and 2-stroke mopeds.
I don't have the absolute answer to refute your comment; maybe you're right, maybe you're not. But I will leave you with the following question: If you had a machine that cloned a copy of you atom for atom as an exact replica, which version is "you"?

Absolutely. And I'm sure John Carmack will do everything he can to Doom the project! Nasa is about to unleash hell, and they don't even know it yet!

Question - "Who or what can make more money with my money without me having to do a damn thing".
Answer - "Who or what has a proven track record of accomplishing that goal.
Sorry everyone! It's my fault. I just e-filed the day before because I'm due for a big refund. They didn't like that, so conveniently a hardware problem occurred. :(
Fascinating. So the behavior of "Work network" is the same as "Domain network"? If so, yeah, that will do the trick. Thanks!
I dunno, he still has "defrag hard drive" and "run a virus scan" on the list.

iTunes Radio sucked anyways. Just use iHeartRadio instead.
This is by design.
