They should have take lessons from the diet/exercise industry. If diet and exercise products worked in 6 months and you kept the weight off after that, you wouldn't need their product anymore and they lost a customer aka revenue.
Sure, I can go take a class on a foreign language but that doesn't mean I can write great literature in it. You'll know the mechanics of the language but it's a different matter to be able to express yourself so that a native speaker understands you. It's the difference between a button that says "reset" and one that says "overcharged"
IMHO, why are people so obsessed with speed over short distances? I'd rather see long range and reliability in less-than-ideal environments using simple antennas.
Seriously, can anyone point to any systemic problem with the way ICANN operates now that seriously adversely affects the way the Internet works? Saying, "Because those evil, greedy, capitalist running-dog Americans," is not a valid argument.
The thing is connected to the internet and the EPA decided that you're using too much energy. Yes, I'm being facetious but in the Soviet Union before WWII, you weren't allowed to have light bulbs higher than approved wattage. Lots of people did and they covered up their windows at night when they wanted to use them.
I love how some people get bent out of shape when other want to exercise their 1st Amendment rights. "Oh, but that doesn't apply here!" Oh, okay, so then corporations really are people. Which is it? Either the Bill of Rights applies to everyone, everywhere, in every case... or it doesn't.
I guess proponents of this don't know how tough blowing sand is on transparent materials. No matter, the anti-carbon industrial complex is predicated on planned obsolescence. Lots of people will be making lots of money on replacement parts for decades. Said rich people will then be lobbying heavily against better technology e.g. fusion.
What this tells me is that the music isn't worth the bits it's printed on. Further, people in the entertainment industry (actors, musicians, pompous directors) are so over paid that they have a severely distorted view of their own importance. They become misinformed after being uninformed. The end result are cases like the anti-vaxers. Here's hoping that bubble bursts sooner rather than later. Never equate popularity with knowledge and wisdom.
So it sounds like the former are theoreticians while the latter are practical folks. If that's the case then why would NASA want theoreticians in space when every problem is a practical one? The air scrubbers weren't designed to fit in the LEM. Make them fit or the crew is dead.
The posting is confusing. What exactly is a degree in "engineering technology" and why does that not qualify? How is that different from a degree in engineering?
Okay, sure, the people of this town have some loony reasons but one should also consider how panels covering a vast land area (not on rooftops) will affect the natural effects of sunlight on the soil and vegetation.
What I find amusing is the comparison to everything being said and done about climate change and all those evil masterminds from scifi, fantasy, and comic books hell-bent on world domination by trying to manipulate the weather. It never works out well for them.
Yes, that's the argument some people make when homes are being threatened by wildfires. So, if that is a valid argument, then one must make the same case for the people of Kiribati if one is to be consistent in their thinking.
When you work in a corporate environment, you see evidence of this at the highest levels. Examples are people who insist on using flowery words to describe something to make themselves sound more intelligent when simple words are sufficient. Also, people who insist on creating acronyms for every project.
IMHO, SpaceX is still way ahead having delivered to the ISS and completed landings on land (okay so not the full monty) and is attempting to land on an ocean platform. The last of which when coupled with seaborne launching gives them the more efficient ability to do equatorial launches.

Overclocked processor pops bag of popcorn in next room.

People also see bigotry where none exists. People are easily fooled.

And that, boys and girls, is where crapware comes from.

IMHO, this is like blaming the Port Authority when bank robbers use one of their bridges for their getaway route.
Or soybeans?

Ya know, I liked my insurance...back when it was one quarter of what it is now. Rat bastards.

Seriously?! What a bunch of B.S. When are these fools going to call a spade a spade?
