So, I put a clause in there about no brown M&Ms. Or the whole thing is null and void. I see one brown M&M, document it and their whole case will be thrown out.
You are missing the F-35's major feature. It's just bad enough to be exportable. We (Lockheed) can sell these to any two bit government. It's good enough to elicit an "Oooooo! Shiny!" response from them. But it's not quite as good as the F-22. So if we should ever have to face them in air-to-air combat, we can still knock them down like flies.
a large IT department with almost no skills in the technologies on site
No skills? Then what is it that they do all day? I suspect that your IT department has been the dumping ground for employees that can't just be gotten rid of. In other words; politically connected. I've been there and tried to deal with that. And in my opinion, it can't be done by someone without serious seniority.
You could try introducing training programs for the target architecture. And some of the motivated staff will avail themselves of this. But be prepared to run across a few people who refuse and insist on hanging on to their legacy Windows stuff.
Hopefully it means I'll get better fuel economy though?
Probably worse. The EGR disable software (or the aftermarket kits that do this) increase engine performance or efficiency (depending on whether you are a leadfoot or not). Disabling the EGR also reduces particulates in the exhaust and reduces maintenance on particulate filters and reduces the 'rolling coal' effect that make diesels so popular</sarcasm>.
... Volkswagen slaps the EPA with an $18 Billion DMCA suit for reverse engineering their software.
Digging through several layers of links:
EPA and CARB uncovered the defeat device software after independent analysis by researchers at West Virginia University,
So it looks like WVU might have to bite the bullet on this one and the EPA will get off scott free. Sorry to all of you students who were hoping for your degree. After the school shuts down, maybe you can get jobs mining coal.
It depends on the agenda. If I'm applying for a job or competing for a contract, my personal beliefs are not an issue. And I don't have time to argue with people who think that their Holy Book is some sort of tautology.
Western tradition
Has changed a lot since the Inquisition. But it still has quite a ways to go. Let's start a new tradition.
The rage is indeed simmering. Militant womens lib has come and gone. We've had Title 9 for decades. And there are still conservative groups that go into a rage about women going to college.
I'm associated with a couple of scholarship funds for women. And one needs a thick skin to deal with all the shit the moral midgets fling my way.
Boeing's Museum of Flight has one on display in Seattle.
Interesting note: On it's last flight in 2003, it flew supersonic over Canada. So there are still some places one can do this without a bunch of whiners getting their panties in a bunch.
Sort of like that supermodel you take out to dinner. Who just nibbles on a salad and pushes the steak and lobster away. And then goes home and wolfs down a few pints of Haagen Dazs.
Slashdot Mirror
the FDA is preventing the market from establishing pricing
My understanding (please correct me if I'm wrong) is that this is a matter of legislation. So the FDA is only carrying out the letter of the law.
Lets see if this is enough to get those laws overturned and let Americans shop around for a generic equivalent.
Nope. Because Congress has its lips firmly wrapped around industry lobbyists private parts in exchange for campaign contributions.

Someone inside the NSA is kicking himself for having missed out on this acronym.
They don't actually have to read the paperwork,

The DOD is buying the F-35 and that's that.

Now there's no hope of Slashdotters ever getting a date.

Yeah. Let's get this guy. I tell you what we ought to do, is .....

Considering a higher percentage of women go to college then men,
So they need more financial support.
Women tend to be a better investment, educationally speaking. It's just not worth financing a 6 year bachelor's degree if the major is in frat party.
The rage is indeed simmering. Militant womens lib has come and gone. We've had Title 9 for decades. And there are still conservative groups that go into a rage about women going to college.

"show me my most at-risk opportunities"
They must be talking about that hot blonde staff assistant we just hired. The one that all the other guys are going to be making a move on soon.
There, their, they're now.
Don't go getting all worked up over a few simple grammar errors.
That's breaking news on Slashdot.
