Handling of the HYDROFLUOROSILICIC ACID is difficult. It eats through everything, even glass eventually. Tanks need replacement regularly, you have to wear hazmat suits when working around it... Go ahead get a little bit on you... it burns like hell and cant be neutralized.

This is the primary reason coupled with the fact that most kids have easy access to fluoride rinses and toothpaste. No reason to go with a preventative dones and scale back to a maintenance dosage.

Plus the crap is getting expensive to buy and truck. When I worked at a water filtration plant a semi truck load delivery was an expensive event, and that was 15 years ago. Today it's worse with the OMG WE ALL GONNA DIE OSHA standards for safety.

Here in the USA Dental health is looked at as a luxury. Dentists fight like hell to keep costs high and insurance crappy.

It's a crime that most americans have almost no dental care they can afford. Yes most. you have to count the 90% that make less than $65,000 a year.

Because a lot of us out here still use that port. a LOT of advanced hardware is still RS232.

I just wish that Dell and Lenovo still offered it on their top of the line laptops that us pros use. Yes I will pay an extra $150 for a native rs232 port on my laptop.

Unless you are ok with that app not working at times.

Web based is 105% crap when connectivity is flakey.

If you are making "free" apps, go for it, but if you are charging a customer $29.95 for the app, it had damn well better be a native app that works even with all radios turned off.

And I have a couple of $29.95 apps. Hell I have one for room audio tuning that was $59.95

When is pepsi going to make their cola taste good?

I have had 10 Nexus 7's given to me, every one with broken screens.

They needed to stop making the screen with potato chips. They need gorilla glass that is 2X as thick.

It does work just fine, you have to do a full wipe on it. Many users whined and refused to. they suffer bugs.

Wipe it, then go along re installing apps. DO NOT restore it, just let things come back from the holy google cloud.

I love those free coffee breaks that windows give me!

Pandora is paying record labels via ASCAP and BMI that much more. Artists are probably getting less because the record labels and ASCAP/BMI are charging an extra processing fee.

The artists only lose because of the leeches that grab onto them and suck them dry.

Nope. I find that Cisco Enterprise Wireless Accesspoints are complete crap in regards to phones if your IT department doesn't update their firmware regularly.

Work recently ripped out all the Cisco junk and installed UniFi and all wireless problems, mobile and other went away.

I do understand the solar industry, that's why I fliped two big middle fingers to them and bought and imported all china solar panels and installed a 5Kwh setup for drastically cheaper than any of the overpriced US crap.

Spent 1/2 the price got the same panels all monocrystalline and of very good quality build. It's been in operation for 3 years now with no problems. I use grid intertie and drive the meter backwards. No local storage.

Electrical bill is $14.95 a month because you have to pay the "fees" and the scumbag leaders in my states government passed a law that allows the power company to not pay for any surplus I generate above my own use.

Offer a package with solar panels so we can get off the grid with no maintenance that a typical solar+wind offgrid setup requires.

Most people can barely change the batteries in their TV remote, they cant handle the work involved in taking care of an offgrid power system. Been there done that.

Actually better than normal. a slackware install is at least two orders of magnitude faster than Ubuntu.

I've moved back to slackware for ham radio use, I got tired of fighting with the 6 different audio systems, 40 different places to put config files, etc...

OSS and /etc with a custom kernel. Boot time on my field Ham radio PSK31 CF-18 toughbook is 6 seconds (Yes to an Xf86 login). with Xubuntu it was 45 seconds.

Or an even more novel concept, use a Distro that doesnt shovel all that crap into it. If you really like Ubuntu, go to Debian. All the goodness and none of the ads or phone home junk.

Will systemd increase or reduce performance? I cant get any straight answers out of the gigantic whinefest that is the systemd controversy.
