Sorry but attacking me as if i am "listening to people who make money and power from scaring people" is not a good way to make an argument, in fact its rather insulting.
I don't give a shit what the media says or what the people in office say or what the banks say.
I look at it as how our society has developed over the past 100 years and the transfer of wealth from one group to another. We have so many problems right now that are related to money that there is no one/two/100 things you could do to make it all better - sadly that means they keep throwing money that doesn't exist at it.
the fact that people are using it as an excuse to further their own personal wants is the same mentality that got us where we are today..
I can't give you an answer - no one can (at least not one someone can poke holes in) but i do know that the current approach is not going to help.
its an odd thing that i've been thinking about lately.
the US owes most of it's debt to China that debt is under agreement that it is forfeited if China commits acts of war against the US China is heavily doing corporate & government espionage - including "hacking" the US recently said "hacking" is an act of war
it will be interesting how that plays out in the next decade - either way we are fucked money wise.
and it doesn't have to be that expensive - sure when you start talking track days it can be - but if you focus more on driving than on goodies in the car.. you can do very well.
Been AutoXing for years and plan on karting in a few years with my son, but you have to approach it like other "sports" there are a lot of people out there to that want to do it and only a select few get the chance to do it for a living.. that doesn't mean give up on the idea - but it does mean you need to treat it as a hobby with something else as a planned career path.
that deep pitch is the cup.. and while it allows for more thrust at lower RPM it limits your max RPM which limits your max throughput. it can also cause disturbance behind the blade which can cause cavitation at higher RPM
i didn't realize the brightness control was blocked - that would explain why none of the basic light apps have it... that's rather annoying.. i'd like to see their justification for blocking it
i also find it annoying they don't allow any apps that show wifi/cell SNR. that would be so useful
that would be spell check + clicky clicky kicking me in the ass.
as for your comment.. if we never recommended trying something that we have never done then we would never do anything new.
the fact that in theory it would work is a reason to give it a try - where as if i had recommended burning it out with an ice-cube, well that would just be stupid..
but hey the fact that a high powered laser can burn through objects and set them on fire - yea that won't damage any electronics.. and yea pointing it at one for a few seconds couldn't possibly be faster than taking the screen apart and desoldering it..
if your looking to disable the LED - burn it out - use a high powered green laser pointer (the ones that can set things on fire).. pointblank for a few seconds should heat the LED to the point that the substrate fails.. effectively burning it out - no need to dissemble.
(no i have not tried this but i see no reason why it wouldn't work)
Apple's facility at that location (the one near by) is only 2.5k people.. of which will be staying at that location and they will be taking the rest that are spread out and aiming ~12k people at that new site (near the old one) for a total of 14.5k people instead of 2.5k people.. thats a nice whopping 580% increase in traffic volume from Apple.. now i don't know what % they are for that area but i'm betting a lot..
the only side lot is that the HP campus that was there was ~9k people so we know that that traffic has been experienced so in reality the total traffic volume increase should be 3k people which is ~26% increase in traffic.. not nearly as much but still a good bit.
my first question would have been if the public would get access to this wonderful new park or would it just be place for the special people - they don't have to allow access as it is private property that i understand, but its a lot more sensible than "give me free wifi"
the second would have been to his response on traffic.. while they are not really increasing the number of people they employ (sorry 20% is a lot for anyplace) but now they have 2.5k in one spot and the rest spread out.. now they will have 12k going to one place every day.. that is going to be a nightmare if not planned for.
but then again these are your council people.. i don't expect logical questions from them.. hopefully the city planner and PE's will point it out when they submit their plans.
it will be arm-chair stress tests.. get a bunch of people in the room who know at the end of the day biz will go on as normal... never see anything worth while come out of that meeting.. only exactly what everyone knew going in.
that is all fine and sounds good - but i don't consider that scrambling.. i guess to me its just a different meaning.. to me scrambling would be - having to figure out what needs to happen to be able to figure out where you are.
we're now scrambling to envisage and generate reports from authentication logs for exceptions that might indicate we're being attacked or have been successfully attacked in the past.
why would you need to scramble? shouldn't you be looking at this anyways? on a regular basis? sure this is a good reason to take a second look - but be scrambling.
personally i liked lost planet (the first one) the second is exactly as you claim.. they focused so much on adding multi player that the single/story based version sucked
Most of the people reading this thread are specifying a general assertion. Also, these are power storage units, not power generation.
i know they are storage units not generation units.. that was one of my original points in the original post.
and you where originally comparing them to generation facilities not I.
but the one way you can compare them is that they allow you to not have to build more generation facilities that have the purpose of dealing with flux - and rather better utilize your baseline supply. when you look at them in that light i would find it hard to believe that they have near the lifetime CO2 cost as a generation (coal/gas) plant.

but what if they work the books so that the wholesale cost is so high that the margin for the other provider couldn't possibly be profitable?

because of some arrogant manager.
oh good then all should be safe - i haven't seen an arrogant manager in decades. :)
aka consulting projects - i work for a similar type of company - luckily i'm not one of the ones that has to fly
i only posed it because of the way you phrased it.. it didn't (to me) come off as project/short term work
my only question is if you travel that route that much - why don't you just move?
by plane or by air or by anything to spend that much time just to move around seems a horrid waste of time/energy/money..
I'd like to see the bill on that .. because while AT&T can see the device on the other end via the IMEI they do not bill based on that.
there is no difference in billing for voice on a normal or a smart phone.
that is all fine and sounds good - but i don't consider that scrambling.. i guess to me its just a different meaning.. to me scrambling would be - having to figure out what needs to happen to be able to figure out where you are.
but be scrambling.
*but *shouldn't* be scrambling

got to love spin
nice one.
as a shown point it doesn't
but if you are using it as a point to argue/discuss with.. you show that 70-75% of violent crimes are done by people not under the influence..
maybe we all just need to get drunk/stoned and the crime rate will drop.
then we will get it from an asteroid?
really your argument for gold is the same as "what happens when we can't make more paper to print money on?"
i'm not saying that it is flawed to know how much there is - i'm just saying your way of arguing it by comparing it to gold is flawed.
the numbers your quoting includes alcohol and prescription drugs, not just illegal drugs.
what would be entertaining is to see the same set but break it down between the groups.
aka of the 25-30% for violent offences what % was alcohol/controlled/S1/S2/S3/S4/S5
