Mandatory mode? Mine runs a modular radio system which I can operate on any band I choose, including digital over cellular if I so desire. It also runs open source software on open source hardware, so it's pretty easy to control what "modes" it can operate on. This isn't something that can be controlled by a dictating rules to a few commercial manufacturers, though I don't know if statistically that may solve the majority of the problem. They're not hard or expensive to build. The flight controller is nothing more than an arduino with an accelerometer and (optional) GPS.
You probably want a Sriracha mode on there too. It's my understanding that Sriracha makes everything better. Even Pizza Hut offers it as an option now.
I would say there's one BIG difference. The employee working at EA is doing so for a considerable salary. His wife may not feel the money is worth his sacrifices (and I agree, but to each their own). Because of that, he has a choice, and can easily move to a different job, even if he does have to take a pay cut, and have a good quality of life.
The employee at the clothing company may be 12, may be a single mother with no skills, etc, and the job is held over them as a means of survival. They may NOT have a choice if they have grown accustomed to eating, even if it is only rice and beans.
Information that could make civilians more dangerous to police or military should not be available to civilians at all, obviously
Obviously! We wouldn't want the ability for the peasants to stand up to a rogue dictatorship. The police and military should not have to fear repercussions from their actions against against the undesirables. Let the ruling class do whatever they want, as history has repeatedly shown, as long as I can still get a Big Mac and watch American Idol!
Government entities and proponents of such love to use the "If you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about" argument, but shouldn't the same be said of police, military, and others that we grant the authority to "rule" over us? What about information that makes the police or military more dangerous to us?
This is the most fun! And it's truly a battle of minds, not reflexes. We did this in an AI class in college. It was just a trivial game, but the last day of the project was battling all of our AI's out in a tournament. We literally just sat and watched our AI compete. Probably less of a spectator sport, but so much better than a traditional programming contest where fast and dirty is the goal.
Arrows have fins, but they still spin for the same reason a bullet does. To have a bullet that doesn't spin, they also would require a special gun (which this article specifically states is a standard rifle).
Missouri is one. I'm not sure the specifics, but typically you'll see a "Tax1" and "Tax2" on the receipt. Most cities do not exempt anything, but the state sales tax is exempted from basic groceries. It's not usually itemized what gets what taxes, but if you buy a $1 grocery item, you'll often find that the total is $1.04, instead of $1.08 (random examples based on local municipality taxes). The city tax is still charged, but the state tax isn't.
I don't know that it's just here. I think most people are good and honest, but there's enough assholes to ruin a program like this for everyone. They'd have to have credit cards attached or something, or it would be a matter of weeks until someone either stole or destroyed them all. Unfortunately it would be the.01% of people that would ruin things like this for everybody!
And they don't want to run fiber because it's it won't make them any more money. You're already paying all you're going to pay under the unlimited model. Now imagine you paid for what you consumed, you think they'd let their income potential be capped by antique equipment? If electricity was an "unlimited per month" model, would there be incentive to make sure that I have near 100% uptime with all the electrical capacity I can imagine using, even way out in the rural area where I live? Or would they want to just make sure I have enough to not cancel my service altogether?
And do you actually have the gold/silver? Everyone I know that bought precious metals only has certificates that show they have some. If the economy collapses, you have a piece of paper that says you own X amount of gold. What is that worth? If civilization has collapsed, you have no way of getting to that gold. No financial system to cash in the certificate, no shipping system to aquire it, no phone system to reach the guy that actually has it in his vault. What you have is a piece of paper. . . a rough one at that, which in the collapse of society is worth significantly less than the case of Charmin I have in the garage.
Install classic shell. I actually like Windows 8 except for the UI. Classic Shell (and Aero 8 if you want the eye candy effects), solves that problem entirely.
Amen, even my Nexus 4 is bigger than I really want. Honestly I might even tolerate the size, but that price is absolutely ridiculous, going from a $300+ phone to a $600+ phone, and they STILL didn't include a damn SD Card slot? Sorry Google, hope this goes well for you but I will not touch this piece of junk. Maybe I'll try the OnePlus One, the FairPhone, or hopefully some other compact and unlocked phone will come out in the future.
Luckily for me, the specs of my Nexus 4 are still more than enough to run anything I've encountered, so maybe I'll make it until this whole phablet craze is over.
I absolutely refuse to use them anymore. I did for a while if I could go quick, but I got stopped at walmart once because it said I needed a cashier approval. I was buying headphones. I stood there for a minute or so trying to get someones attention. She comes over and it was so that she could ask if I wanted the extended warranty. It couldn't put that on the screen?
I decided then that they waste my time, are slower, and take jobs away without passing any benefit on to me, so I quit. I'm also tired of fighting the "place item in the bag" battle. If you can't trust me, don't hire me. I didn't want to work here in the first place!
I'm sure that is true, but some dealers have more desire to negotiate, some feel the number listed is the only number. It's the same reason it's sometimes worth driving a couple hundred miles to buy a new car, even when sales tax is the same. You'd think they'd lose business by never negotiating, but based on the number of people I know that actually paid sticker for their new cars, I guess it works for them.
When I bought my car I had title in hand in my name. It had a lien on the back, but the title had my name on the front.
And there are some other differences, much like in the home market. I own my home, but the bank has a lien on it. I get to decide what colors I paint the walls, any upgrades or additions I want to do, if pets or guests are allowed, etc. The bank doesn't make those decisions like the landlord did for my apartment or rental house.
Similarly, a leased car has many restrictions. Usually something like 15,000 miles per year maximum without penalties. I drive too much for that. Modifications are usually not allowed or heavily restricted. I have radio equipment and auxiliary lighting installed in mine, as well as customized interior shelving in the cargo area (SUV). Trailer towing equipment is often not allowed unless it's a truck with a specific towing package at the time of lease. My loan agreement also specified either 30 or 60 days default for repossession. I don't remember exactly, it's been paid off for years and I have no payments. With a leased car, the payments never end in a situation where you get to keep a car. Sometimes the lease buyout option is more than buying the similar car. I know someone that wanted to keep her leased car, but due to the lease buyout price she ended up giving it back and just going to buy the same used car somewhere else.
GPS is not required. FCC issued a requirement to improve location tracking by 2018, which is still a few years out. GPS is not a requirement, just a possible way to meet that accuracy.
Not everyone can get paid for their passion. I hear some people have hobbies that involve women. Apparently they like to go out to dinner and shows and other things outside of the nice solitude of one''s house/mom's basement. I've seen these people do a lot of things you wouldn't think would be desirable to pursue their passions. . . or pursue passion. . . . or however you want to word it.
Actually this isn't surprising. I had a friend that couldn't get a job as a security guard at the mall after returning from Afghanistan, and he couldn't get a job as armed security anywhere because they wanted people already trained. The military training may help on the resume in some areas, but a lot of places still want the non-military credential.
As far as the medical field, military field medics do all kinds of things that would be asking for a lawsuit on a civilian ambulance. A civilian EMT honestly can't do all that much for you. If you're breathing, your heart is beating, and you're not bleeding out, we can't do much more than give you a ride to the hospital. You're right that field medics take a lot of chances they don't want you to take in the civilian world.
A lot of advancements in trauma care come from things that have been tried and worked on the battlefield, just like a lot of advancements in auto safety come from the race track. Sure, there are programs to help transition. EMT is not even that long of a class to start from scratch. But, his point still remains that you can come back with the training that possibly (likely) even far exceeds the civilian levels, and still be overlooked as 'unqualified'. I'd blame lawyers, but that's just a personal opinion and I have no citation to provide.
I think it's a fair set of questions to put in front of other peoples eyes. Unfortunately, most/. readers are probably not the ones needing this kind of logical thinking. But, if more people thought about questions like these before clicking the links, they'd get scammed less and we'd have less spam, a win-win scenario. Consider it an educational post for anonymous readers.
Well, I will consider myself schooled! Thank you for educating me. That has always been a huge annoyance of mine and many others I know, but I guess it actually does make more sense when considering the origin of the word. I am saddened that one of my huge pet peeves is apparently unjustified, but in time I will adjust.

Considering the number that die smacking into windows and windmills, I can't imagine this has to do with intelligence. They might avoid the noise?

It's really not a comparison in any way.

It's available on Amazon's App store for 99 cents! I'll give it a shot. I have a few thousand coins to cash in.
I want to try this! Where did it go?!
