Where I work, we just migrated to Outlook in the past couple of years. Our databases, group email accounts, and apps still remain in Lotus Notes. Therefore I must run both.
And we're much larger and far more profitable than the Baltimore Police Department.
Please, all those tax breaks resulted in a few people getting a 1 time bonus and the increased profits going to the shareholders.
Luckily for me, my wife and I live well below our means and have significant investments despite being late 30s/early 40s. Our goal is to retire in our mid 50s and live only off investment income. This "boom" has helped us out but we're already in the top 15% of income earners in the country. Poor people are getting more poor. This is a trend that has been going on for a long time so I'm not blaming any one party.. however Republicans are less discrete about their intentions of funneling more money to the already wealthy.
In my region unemployment is very low however wages are below 2007 levels despite a significant increase to cost of living. 70% off jobs do not pay enough to raise a family of 3. So yay, at least we have jobs.... even if they don't pay all the bills.
I'm looking at the bigger picture. Species go extinct, new ones come into existence. I realize humans have had way too much impact on the extinction side of things.
The narrow view is looking at a few species of animals to decide what can be done with the land. My big picture view is "why the fuck do we keep allowing corporations to pollute the environment to make a quick dollar?"
I hate that Republicans only care about "right now" and not about those of us that plan to live another 40-50 years.
Odd that you chose the word "purchase" in your statement. Do you think it's ok to make a copy of someone else's work and sell it, for profit, just because the original is difficult to obtain?
One of my good friends collects vintage games, with NES being his #1 passion. He has legitimately purchased many cartridges over the past 10 years.
I'm not trying to defend Nintendo but I cannot defend someone that makes money by selling or giving away ROMs (because it's highly unlikely they don't turn a profit from the ad revenue).
You must be in the minority, then. In the 90s my small town had 4 or 5 dial-up options. Then DSL came in at a much higher price. The dial-up providers survived for awhile then started to drop out one-by-one. Cable then came to the area, finished off all the dial-ups and pushed DSL out. Frontier did come to the area about 10 years ago giving us 1 cable (Spectrum) and 1 very slow DSL (Frontier). I'm paying $85/month to Spectrum just so I can have 2 good quality streams going at the same time.
Does a list of passwords on a post-it note affixed to my monitor count as storing it "on" the computer? Maybe I should move it somewhere a bit more discrete.
I was born in the late 70s and remember watching lots of older shows on Nick at Night that were black and white. I thought my parents grew up in a world that had no color and that color itself was invented in the 60s.
I got a free Amazon Echo Dot a couple years ago, it sat around collecting dust until 3 months ago. Now we have it in the kitchen and use it mostly as a radio. I have a small bluetooth speaker that we can move around the house that is paired with the device. A few other uses is to check the weather forecast for the day and also set timers while cooking. My wife and I sometimes fight for control of the next song, she's big into Abba while I prefer something along the lines of Dave Matthew's Band...
I do not have the urge to go out and buy more for other areas of the house but it works out for us. And it was free.
Who do you think sells spare parts to the dealerships? Or are you under the impression dealers order original equipment parts directly from the manufacturers?
In the automotive business, profits are typically earned through services at dealerships.
The more cars on the road, the better. The more non-warranty repairs/maintenance, the better. However it'll take a few more years for there to be a significant number of non-warranty Teslas on the road to bring the profit number up enough to cover R&D and production costs.
Now they need to hope their cars stay on the road long enough to bring in those non-warranty sales while at the same time keeping customers happy enough to want new cars 5-8 years down the road.
One of the reasons I quit facebook a few years ago was that I was getting too much political propaganda in my feeds through friends sharing every crack-pot theory. It was definitely not biased towards a liberal view point.
The fringes on both ends of the spectrum are virtually the same, basically militant in their approach. I'm more concerned with the mainstream conservatives willing to sell out their values simply to support the candidate with the R next to his name. Anyone thinking Trump is religious is a fool.
I'm not sure how well it actually worked. The security guards let him in. His co-workers helped him out. It sounds like not all access was completely removed immediately.
I'm not taking sides however I just ran across this article with a story from the ex-employee. He claims to be a whistle blower and that Tesla has been lying to look better.
Why not? I cannot think of a reason express routes cannot be created in certain large US cities, especially when a new line is in the process of being created.
An express line does not have to move any faster than a normal train, it just does not stop at every station along the way. Simply have a way for the train to get around any stopped trains and everything else is simply scheduling correctly.
I think the biggest concern in the US would be having trains actually run on time.
Japan does well with their express trains that skip a majority of the stops on longer routes. They cost more and the tickets often sell quickly but it can cut hours off commute time per week, depending on how far you must travel.
My Hondas have had adaptive cruise control for the past few years. They require driver steering wheel input after 10-15 seconds. This is a safety feature, it ensures the driver does not get into the habit of losing focus while behind the wheel.
I hope it doesn't change until 100% of cars on the road are self driving and the roads themselves (at least the main ones) follow industry standards for autonomous vehicles.
I'm surprised this got a +5 interesting without any actual evidence of the study or even a link to an article.
I've been to a training academy for police dogs. I got to hide the contraband myself and the handlers were not present. All 3 dogs being trained that day had no problem locating the stash.
Can the handlers have an influence on the dog? Absolutely. That is likely poor training of the handler, though.
I've also seen the telecom companies abuse their near monopolies and act in collusion with the "competition" to milk every last available penny from consumers.
This is one industry that does not deserve unfettered control of the market. Taxpayers built their infrastructure - for that we get predatory business practices.
The days of dial-up were nice, even my small town of 25k people had 3 viable local options and of course national options such as AOL. Now I have Time Warner.. and.. uh.. I think that's it now.

I'm ok with a limited number of structures on the moon but do not feel there should be any mining of the moon.

How much does Trump's health care cost (or any member of Congress). Who foots the bill for that?

Pence, of all people, should support Sanders being denied service.
I do not agree with either action however the irony is fantastic.

I'll just wait for the daily Tesla updates here on
I see your definition of "fact" has been eroded, I wonder what the cause could be.
If he sat back and did nothing, there would be no war because that's the way it has been for the past 60 years.
All Trump did with N. Korea is escalate the situation then deescalate it to the previous level.
