A lot of people that show up are not prepared and mooch off of everyone in the name of "community"
We would hide our resources and tell others "nope dont have any" on a lot of occasions and those we could tell were in real need and not just lazy potheads we would share.
When poor people buy phones, they choose the free model. and all the windows phones are the free model as nobody in their right mind would intentionally pay the $399 premium phone price for one.
IT will be, it will probably be as horrific as the LG, Motorola and Samsung crap.
If the Watch can not do 2-3 days on a charge , it is a complete and utter fail.
If the watch does not have an open API so apps can easily be written for it, it is a complete and utter fail.
And honestly, from what we have seen from Microsoft for mobile devices over the past 3 years, it will be a complete and utter fail.
MatLab is an old, crufty, feature-creeped script engine that I try to hold myself away from as much as I can. As a researcher and academic (got up to post-doc), Matlab is indeed ubiquitous in academia, but it's mostly due to entrenched positions. I see fewer and fewer people using Matlab these days, and that's a good thing.
Matlab is by all means not a fourth-generation programming language: it is procedural just like Fortran, which it supplanted in academia, but it does not have type-checking as C, it does not have OO support as C++, it does not do away with semicolons as end-of-line markers like Python; true, it has some advance features like OO and some functional programming, but (almost) nobody uses them, and most Matlab code is a horrible cruft made by self-not-so-well-taught academics. There is nothing in Matlab you cannot do better in Python with scipy, numpy, matplotlib and pandas. Or with declarative PLs like Modelica.
Matlab is also known for outrageous prices, leveraging on the fact their customer base are universities with big pockets and small administrative brains, and large corporations: they split their code base in many small chunks, and for each you need to pay more and more: as the saying goes, In Matlab you cannot do shit unless you buy a licence for the Toilet Paper toolbox.
Long story short: Matlab is the Perl of academia.
Like GM.. Add shiny plastic, crap leather and call it the "premium" version.
Flat tax simplifies it greatly.
10% with zero deductions or credits. You dont even need to file taxes unless you are self employed and you should have been doing it quarterly like you have to now.
April 15th becomes nothing but another day in april as nobody has to file anything except for the rich that also pay 10% on all dividend income, all stock income, etc....
You are correct, People that are hell bent on Monogomy are selfish and childish.
They are the same horrible sociopathic scumbags that demonize homosexuals that want to marry.
City manager can be fired by the city council. Problem is most councils dont have the balls to do it.
City managers are low skill people that cant make it in the Corporate world. They are a dime a dozen.
Humans do better in a Poly when they are mature and evolved.
Kudos to you!
Still does not mean you have the right to be a giant raging hemorrhoid on society.
Printing RMA sheets for returning materials to vendors. and the shipping labels that go on the boxes. Printing invoices to be sent to the customers. Printing paychecks. Yes some people still like getting a paycheck.
I also print out on a large format printer blueptints on the large design jet. Damn contractors refuse to get 21" ipads to view the drawings.
Epson printers will actually work.
Honestly, I blame Epson for the failure, they cant write drivers to save their lives.
Army could use this easier... Dual wielding 50cal machine guns and ammo cans mounted on back turn a single guy into a weapons platform that throws 600 rounds a minute at the enemy and can do it all day long.
Although I'd rather see one 50 cal machine gun and then a belt fed 20mm canon with Explosive rounds, or a pair of 40mm fully automatic grenade launchers... One man shock and awe is what is needed on today's battlefield.
If the Flight attendants would actually apply the rule to EVERYONE and not just coach class.
Last flight I was on the complete dirtbag in first class was chatting away on his cellphone well after the cabin door was closed and we were rolling. They did not say a word to him, yet told the kid with his Kindle to put it away.
First class dirtbags that cant stop talking on their phones need to be smacked in the head, their toy taken from them, and then someone in Coach switches seats with them. They LOSE their first class seat but still pay for it for being a dirtbag.
Sadly these rich guys are all whiny babies and will complain instead of admitting they were being jerks.
