Like the G8 GTO, Ram 50, Nova, Geo Trakker & Sprint? I hated to put the Trakker in with them, reliable enough as long as you remember it is a utility vehicle and not a lane changing, zoomy, zoomy sports car.
The valve body in a non electric automatic transmission is a analog computer and they are easily reprogrammed. Reprogrammed transmissions, ignition systems and fuel systems generally do not meet emission standards. They won't pass because only the original approved equipment (OEM) can be used on that vehicle. It does not matter what comes out of the tailpipe if it is not the original OEM system. Did you ever wonder why analog (opamps) computers were not used ? The parts are cheaper and in the 80s op amps were much, much faster that digital. It would have been easy to design in accuracy with operational amplifiers that is as good as required to meet current standards. Reprogramming them>> all that would be required would be a plastic screw driver and a emission anal yser. The answer is writing code is easier to obfuscate.
Hummm, wheel bearings, never had one fail. However, my olde ladys sillouette purse hauler. Wheel bearings failed around 100,000 miles. What a pain in the ass & wallet. $120 dollars for each. You had better have a 3/4 inch impact a handy or long breaker bar and a lot of patience to change those " improved bearings". The oem bearings do not have dust shields but the after market bearings do. I did my own brakes so the wheel bearings always cleaned and greased when the break shoes got replaced. Most brake shops skip that step, even if you ask them to repack the bearings. I never owned a car after 1973 that I did not convert to electronic ignition if it did not come from the factory with one. I have seen individuals purchase a car with 100,000 miles and have the plugs changed for the 1st time. If the the plugs were not installed with never seize, might as well order a new head gasket. Old cars were made to drive off the assembly line as cheap as possible. The warranty period was/is a reflection of the manufacturers faith in the product.
The electrical unions only function in states where a license and apprenticeship is required. I don't see AT&Fee or Comcrap letting that happen in any state for IT work.
The US dept of labor must be pretty lax or paid off. California went to Texas rules to satisfy the film industry. 1st 40 hours was strait time. What fixed that was people running off the road and smacking into things after working 2 20 hour days. California has been the test ground for every hair brained scheme out there.
That is the hidden reason abolishing the draft? What kind of draft exempt job would a H1B get? If that happened the draft board and a lot of elected officials would be crying because because their son was drafted.
I worked for IBM Global at Boeing. I got the job because I had an active military clearance. My cube was on Boeing property. The equipment & licenses belong to Boeing. IBM charged Boeing $300 per hour. I got no benefits plus I had to arrive 1 hour early to set up my schedule and email each station I was assigned before I was on the clock.
I learned another trade.
I got tired of working IT jobs for IT managers that could not unpack & install their own desktop into the network. That to me is like a having a chauffeur drive you around in your Ferrari.
I got sick of it 15 years ago.
Looking at past history. An amendment was added to to the US Constitution & everyone went to the speak easy to get their booze. It also created wealth for many of the off spring who continue to enjoy it. One of the odd things about prohibition is the Ambassador Bridge Corporation. The bridge was built as a conduit to bring whiskey in from Canada. It is the only international bridge in the world that is not government owned. The owner pretty much has a monopoly trucking auto parts from Mexico to Canada. He is not to happy because Michigan & Ontario want to build a trucking bridge.
Eventually it was the majority population that wanted the amendment changed. However, I don't think that any one who was making millions from prohibition was happy when it went away.
As for the "War on Drugs" I refer to the movie Rush Hour and Chris Tucker's line. " Want find to find out who is behind this? Look for the rich white man." The problem is those who are for the War on Drugs are already rich. So who is going to notice a few billion more in their offshore accounts. Much of the product of our legislative bodies & Executive action letters are passed mainly for reasons that are something other than what the title says it is for. We have a war on drugs because some are getting paid handsomely to see that independant distributers do not cut into the profit being made.
What do you do with a maxed out Dell 630 laptop (intel core duo)? A wife that wants all the internet goodys installed. If you got Win 7 installed it has bloated itself so bad. You can click on facebook. Grind the coffee. Place the filter in the basket. Measure the coffee. Fill the reservoir with water. Check to see if the page is loaded or is going to load. Go check to and see if any coffee mugs need washing. Wash the mugs. Run the malware cleaners. Check the laptop again and repeat. Or just load Linux on it and teach her how to use it. I bought the Dell for her, if she wants another lappy or tablet that is on her budget this time. I bet she learns Linux before she buys another.
Cattle manure can be mixed with brewery waste to produce methane. The cost & operation of the procesing facility is the biggest obstacle. http://science.kqed.org/quest/...
I think it is about the micro brewer taking Busch/Miller customers. The large brewers can process & dry the cattle feed and make profit. In Califormia if a microbrerwer choses to pour it down drain the local treatment facility will charge to process it. Which is what happens when a small food operation is accessed if they choose to do so. I worked for a compan that made syrups, dairy product flavors and pie fillings. The stubs and expired rework are dumped as required by the FDA. I will still go my microbrewer and get my 1/2 gallon of stout every 2 weeks.
Most of that is east side & Brightmoor. Midtown & downtown is like the burbs, gangs & thugs don't like take chances there. Wayne State, MSP, Sherif, Federal & Detroit highly visible there.
I think cell phones have a destruct timer built in to them. I think they should just play the MIssion Impossible theme say, sorry Phelps this device will self destruct in 5 seconds.
Boston Accustics Receptor (Mono version) except for them stick on rubber feet that end sticking to the night stand. Altek Lansing AS 890 PC speakers have been breaking leases for 12 years.
Convus 415 calculator, 1974. Toyota FJ60, micronta 22-10 multimeter and '95 Ford Ranger/Mazda 4 cylinder, 5 speed sold it still running at 290,000 miles. Probably why Ford quit selling them in N. America. Movado museum watch.
If Monsantos prize bull broke down 2 fences, crossed your niebhors pasture, to service your cow, in your pasture. Is Monanto entitled to a stud fee ? DeKalb, a Monsanto company is trying that on farmers who raise their own seed.
My bill doubled in 5 years. I guess i should have been happy because they upgraded me without asking 1st. I get 10 OTA signals with multiple side channels on each. Comcast has a monopoly in my area (City of Detroit). The other SE Michgan cities that allow cable systems to compete. Comcast is 40% cheaper for the same sevices in those areas. I guess sombody had to pay for the merger with Time Warner. They asked why I was discontinuing service. My reply was "If i went to my boss and said I want a 10% raise per year and by the way I am going work 6 hrs a day for 8 hours pay too. What is the probability I would still be working there the next day ?"

The CWA tried to bring IT workers into the union with license & apprenticeship programs most turned it down because of the dues.

Their biggest risk is the Department of Veterans Affairs
I would been overjoyed with 10% of what Unisys charged. $390 per hour, 1/2 hour minimum, in 1996. 20% well that would have worked for me, too, I guess

They are just trying to a grip on emulating Comcast
Wait, that was garbage. We can do the plug in thing.
I got WordStar Legacy on 5 1/4. Better than Office ver. whatever. Of course you have to print it and snail mail it so someone else can read it.
I thought we were going to run our cars on garage, McFly
