I've used a little bit of CAM software, and it was never *that* automated. You told it what tooling you wanted to use to create which features and it would calculate the path. So you gave the computer insight into the feeds/speed, cutter dimension, length, etc. And, the software didn't know about fixtures. That was up to the job of the machinist to make sure the fixtures weren't in the way (though, that wouldn't be *that* hard to tell a computer where the fixturing will be)
I never said it made good business sense to turn down something like that. All I'm saying is that it's his choice. You may not agree with it. I may not agree with it. And a lot of people may think he's an idiot and there is no way for the company to go but down. But in no way does he "owe" anybody anything.
Ah, it may be irresponsible to you but the owner of that company owes no one anything. That's right, not even his workers. If the workers wouldn't have been made millionaires, that's not his problem. They should then go out, start a company, and get bought out and do it themselves. Yeah, if he wants to be a nice guy, he can throw stuff their way, but that's his prerogative.
There was mistaken identification on the cameras, but let's look at it this way. There IS an RPG in the group. As the pilot circles around, the guy with the RPG becomes obscured. At that point in time, it's pretty difficult to know if it wasn't handed off to the guy leaning around the corner, aiming it in your general direction. Looking back, yeah, it is a camera, but you've seen weapons now and given your current state of mind, most everything will look like a weapon. It's unfortunate that some innocent people had to die.
Why would a photo-journalist be carrying around a tripod? Middle of the day, lighting isn't a problem, and the lenses they are carrying probably have anti-vibration technology. Also, if you are schlepping around a tripod, it's going to be the kind that collapses down pretty far. Studio style tripods aren't meant to be carried around like that.
And those are most assuredly not jackets. You can see the ground through their arms, and things swinging. That's not a jacket.
And the point of the RPG? The guy in the middle, striped shirt had an RPG most definitely. Guy to his right, AK-47 in his right hand. Guy in the dark shirt on his left, check out 3:52 and you will see an ak-47 swinging at waist level from his left shoulder.
You don't need an RPG for security.
The cameras were not identified as an RPG. They were identified as AK-47s, mistakenly. There IS an RPG in the video, along with 2 REAL AK-47s. Look at 3:40. There is a group of 4 guys. 3 in a row, 1 in front of the guy on the right.
Guy on the left has an AK-47 in his right hand, swinging around. Watch closely. Guy on the right has an AK-47 in his left hand or on his left shoulder, but hanging at his waist level. Watch it swing around at 3:52. Guy in the middle. CLEARLY has an RPG. You can see it swing around when he turns to look behind him. He even rests is on the ground and leans on it. Pretty obvious to me.
So you don't find the threat of an RPG real when there is very clearly one on the video, along with two guys carrying assault rifles (and two more carrying the cameras, which were mis-identified)?
Ok, so they mistook two cameras for ak-47s. Did you not see the ACTUAL ak-47s and the ACTUAL RPG? Check 3:40. The two journalists are no longer in frame. Notice how one of the guys rests the long tube on the ground and leans on it. It comes up pretty high. Looks like an RPG to me. The guy to his right has what looks to be an AK-47 in his right hand. The guy to his left has a rifle on his right shoulder, hanging at about waist level. You can see it swinging at 3:52. So now we have 1 RPG, 2 AK-47s and 2 mis-identified cameras. It's a shame about the cameras misidentification, but there are REAL weapons there.
I watched the video and didn't see any weapons. Certainly no RPG's, which have a fairly distinctive profile.
Check out 3:40. The journalists are no longer in frame. One guy has what looks to be a rifle swinging from his hand/arm. Another has a very long object. He even sets one end of it on the ground and leans on it, and it comes up to his chest. Looks like an RPG to me.
Take a look at 3:40. There are two guys on the left in a group of three. This is after the two journalists have passed under the video screen (with cameras that HAVE been misidentified as ak-47s). One guy has something swinging from his hand/shoulder. Looks like an AK-47 possibly. The other has a very long tube that he even sets on the ground and rests his hands on. It comes up to his chest. I could see how that might be an RPG.
Why not? The FAA hires engineers.
With the way cars are going, I am scared to think of how much computer control is being done (drive by wire, brake by wire, etc), with little to no oversight from an regulatory agency ensuring the safety of the cars. I work in aerospace and my boss is an FAA DER. The amount of safety review done on an airplane is insane. I think that at least some of that analysis should be applied to cars, now that we are giving up so much of the control in the vehicles to them. someone quoted DO-178B for cars...not necessarily a bad idea.
Where do you draw the line at phone vs. computer? The phones these days ARE computers. Heck, the Nexus one has a 1Ghz processor in it. My first computer that I bought only had 850mhz, and it was no slouch back at the turn of the century (wow, it's fun to say that:))
Besides the obvious graphical shortcomings (doesn't use Cocoa), you also have to click in each window first to activate it, then you can select your tool, activate your layer or what have you. This is so non-intuitive, and so not part of the usual routines, that I just don't use Gimp anymore on OS X.
That's actually quite easy to fix. There is an option in the xserver on how to change that behavior. It ticked me off to no end also.

Type that into the terminal and you should be good. (it was the 4th hit on google btw)
So I just upgraded my phone on Verizon over the weekend, and though everyone is making a big deal about having 2 ETFs with the N1 (one on from Google, the other from T-Mobile), I believe the same thing is in place for ATT & VZW. See, you can upgrade your phones through a few 3rd party services (one being Amazon). In the fine print you have 6 months that you cannot change which plan a phone is on. If you do, Amazon will charge you the full device price for the phone. This is Amazon now, not VZW. If you also canceled your contract, VZW would also charge you an ETF, even though you paid Amazon for your phone. There you go, 2 ETFs. ATT, Sprint, and even TMobile all say the same thing when you upgrade through 3rd parties (of which Google would be one)
Also, anybody who knows how cell phones work knows better than to expect uninterrupted calls while driving. You're playing tarzan between towers. There isn't always a long vine in reach. Unless you're doing 120.
Wow....I drive 60 miles each way between home and work and I can't remember the last time I had an interrupted call while i was driving. I've talked the whole damn time from doorstep to doorstep without issue on one call. And this is right through the heart of a major metropolitan city. Hell, on VZW I can't remember the last time I've had a dropped call...period.
Actually, Airbus' have joysticks, and they are all electrical, no connections to the actual surfaces, and no feedback either. Boeings all have yokes, the newer ones being completely separated from the actual surfaces (737 is the only one that has a quasi-connection, and they have feedback due to some motors in the base. The next gen is going to be joysticks that have feedback with motors.
Slight bit of correction....it depends on the country. I just travelled abroad and when we left Greece, we had to go through customs when we left as well as when we arrived. Same thing happened when we went through the cruise terminal in some spots. There were officials waiting for us as we got getting back on the ship and "leaving" their country.
I would ask you, how is it that we pay more for health care "per capita" (that means per person, since you trolls often fail to understand things) yet have a lower life expectancy that fucking CUBA?
Have you looked at America's bulging waistlines lately? Overweight/obese people have higher percentages of heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and cancer than non-overweight people. America is getting fatter by the year, and those diseases aren't cheap to treat. Our obesity is why we pay more per capita AND have a lower life expectancy. It's not due to the quality of our doctors or availability of treatments. It's because of our individuals who (mostly by choice) are unhealthy.

Total was 9GB, half of which I never listen to. So your point is?
My MP3 collection is 30GB and it pales in comparison to many others
