Every useful site that discusses this already pointed out that these OTA releases are staged to avoid overwhelming networks (even your lame WiFi you steal from your neighbor) and to catch any problems before they blow it all out to every user.
Whiners asking 'why haven't its been so long i never get' apparently did not read any of these. Please go find a site that makes this clear, and stick to it for future useful information. The others, feh.
And, if you have not already seen (which I'm sure you haven't), 5.0.1 is released. Looks like 5.0 had enough problems for a maintenance update already. You should now breath a sigh of relief that you did not get an update, which would have annoyed you with any of the myriad nuisances out there.
My N7 2013 is still waiting also, and I decided not to sideload it. Now I'll wait for 5.0.1 to go through the GPE devices, then through the early update populations, and I bet it goes around pretty quickly. There is evidence that 5.0 had enough bugs that Google convinced the manufacturers to hold off and wait for a minor (?) patch.
WiFi on my phone isn't worth the trouble is leaving it on, signing in to the hotspots, password for the personal WiFi at work, and the lame public networks overwhelmed with everyone else.
I leave it off, keep my T-Mobile unlimited for real 4g, and let the wankers fight over '\free' WiFi.
Where I work, we use a Wang system based on a Honeywell system to store and manage images. It's still state of the art, was when it was introduced, and is living on in emulated hardware that does, in fact, work very very well. Downtime is measured in single digit minutes per year.
It certainly meets the common definition of 'legacy'
People use 'legacy' to describe 'obsolete', 'expensive', or 'not new'. Wrongly in many cases.
Alas, it is popular to replace 'legacy' systems with new ones that the newer teams understand better and are more comfortable fixing. Note I did not say just 'understand'. Nor did I claim that these are 'better'. Just more comfortable.
The 'ignition switch' in a diesel car turns on the electrical, of course can engage the starter, and permits accessory mode etc.
Since diesels employ explosive detonation instead of spark-induced combustion, they do not require an actual ignition source other than the heat of compression (and probably a little help from chamber edges and hot spots).
Eliminating the ignition system is a useful advantage for diesels.
Yeah. The city tree is a telephone pole. Downtown is indeed blighted. I miss Biddeford Pool. Reilly's probably gets buns in a box, hang around before the sun comes up and check the name on the bakery trucks...
In the Air Force, this is important. If you work on anything that ends up in, on, or part of an aircraft, keeping track of the tools prevents leaving them in an intake, flopping around an electronics bay, or flying up and hitting the pilot in the head during flight, all of which have happened.
I remember that, having to check my tool bag in as I entered the flight line, then checking it out. Counting the number of tools each time, and if the count didn't match having to go through the inventory to find what was missing and retrace my steps to find it. Nope I never lost any, but my teammate did, and we searched quickly. Delaying a mission for a misplaced wrench guarantees you problems. Oh, and empty pockets. Planes, sheesh.
Then there is the FOD issue.
And then the problem of catching technicians completing work without the proper tools. A hammer is not the right tool to use to press a pin into place, but if you forgot earlier, hammering it in on-equipment is quicker than removing the assembly and going back to the shop, wasting time and cementing your reputation as a screwup forever in your supervisor's mind. You never do anything clean again.
But I watched the video, and then I thought, this for $35k? Intel? No, they must be more concerned with the work not getting done.... I hope.
I sucked so bad at CS that in the 00s I went to LAN parties to wire up, run the hackpot, and distribute 'clean' USB mice, monitor the LAN, and cycle the overhead monitor showing leaders and their screens to the gallery. This before Valve got serious about the hax0rs.
Yeah, wireframe and autoaim hacks, way fun. Cheating bastids all of them, anything to score.
I got free pizza and beer. And played Avatar over an OC-3. woot. rockin dayz.
Battery technology will ether improve with even more exotic and toxic materials, or some clever chemistry that avoid that. What we see today for battery tech is intolerable for the long-term (decades) development of battery cars.
Combustion seems to be the technology considered a dead-end, whether it is complex hydrocarbons, methane, whatever.
Batteries are, to me a total loser though. Just the raw materials issues doom this. Supercapacitors have potential (!), but they are also bombs in the trunk. I think those are the winners in the end.
"If there are tax incentives on hydrogen (ie no/little fuel tax)"
There ya go! Tax incentives to encourage alternative fuel development!
Before we fix tax policy in America, we need to fix tax THINKING. The fuel tax was intended to raise revenue to build, maintain, and repair roads. Proportionate tax collection was expected to accommodate demand and maintenance needs. That;'s broken because of fuel economy improvements, but the fix is merely to reset the rate.
BUT, if you think of taxes as a tool to achieve policy results, then you try to use it for all sorts of things. Reduce/eliminate fuel tax for hydrogen, but lose revenue for road work. Sure, increase rates for legacy fuels, but eventually you need to tax these new fuels.
More to my point, though, taxes should be used to raise revenue. Period. We tolerate a lot of government interference in our lives and markets, and we scarcely consider the real impacts. Please, stop using tax policy to try and drive very little policy initiative you have a mind to impose on us. Every one.
If hydrogen is 'the' answer, it will become evident.
That pressure relief valve is the key. It is also a vacuum breaker in most parts of the nation, here in the US.
Steam is unlikely to be generated even when inlet water fails, since that comes into the bottom, and a water level drop requires a real leak, either out the inlet or the tank.
Electric heaters will see failed elements first, as these rarely survive being heated in air. Gas and oil heaters most likely end up venting hotter exhaust, which could be checked by a safety thermostat for all I know.
Now that hot water boiler in the basement, that's a bomb.

Let it go. Please.

He's still wrong if he did or not. Plenty of telecom infrastructure around every tower, with fixes for every tower not so close. It just costs.
Profits.

'far too much influence'
You have an objective measure of this value?
Please share.

"(if you're honest about it, and include government R&D and subsidies in the cost)."
If we're going to be honest about it, what energy technology isn't supported by government R&D and subsidies?
I was trying to agree...
Well, it's in the Washington Bleep, so it must be true. The Bleep being a wholly owned subsidiary of the Left for at least 42 years.
So less egregious corruption would be OK with you? Or at least not worth note?
And the Democrats practice this with federal legislation.
If anyone asks me for specific examples, they are either obtuse or ignorant. It should be obvious to any thinking citizen.
Both. I used to fear the Republicans less, but that's not a certainty any more.
... And the solution is to concentrate money to the government.
Yeah, nerds are shortsighted too...
For decades the process was called 'redistricting' or 'apportionment'.
That was what Democrats called it, anyways.
The poster auto-converted the date for them. A favor.

This has been going on since what, 1999?

And you have some examples of promising battery technology that don't rely on increasingly exotic materials? I'll excuse graphene as not exotic.
Confidential perhaps, but public data. We paid for them.
There is value in them, when is it's just historical data.

Diesels have ignitions?
You assume your battery can tolerate that.
Try filling your water bottle with a firehose.
