I'd like to see Voyager handle reentry through Earth's thick atmosphere and land gracefully on a runway. THAT would be a sight to see. Voyager 2 technically survived going through the rings of Saturn, but even that managed to take out several instruments (even though, to save someone's career that's not the official reason why they mysteriously failed immediately after)
The undercarriage of an F1 car is protected by a plank of wood, unless they've changed that rule
My 1997 BMW 5 series (the Tesla competes with the 2014 7 Series) has a thick plastic underbody shield. It was designed in ~1992 and started production in Europe around 1994. So it's not a new concept. It also still gets 33mpg @ 70mph on the highway from Dallas to Houston and isn't a diesel.
If you can get the price/durability/speed down by 95% it would be virtually indistinguishable from one of those star trek things that makes your food for you.
Until you need to install some new package to your webserver which requires IIS 9 or
MIT's entire CS program is available on youtube, go hawg wild. My roommate is a graduate of Youtube U and now is a Sysadmin for 2 seperate non-profits (plus side work) and owns a yacht out of Houston. He's also finishing up a degree out of WGU but that's just icing on the cake for him.
If you produce zero useful work, then yes that is fraud. If you go above and beyond their expectations A) will they seek to clarify your claimed records and B) are they getting less than the deal you both agreed to? If you're producing a level of work higher than the average college grad these days (not difficult to do) then there's no misdeed being done. And if they want to fire a high-performer for lying to get the job, that's the company's problem. I didn't have to lie to where I got, but I have a much nicer view than most of my better-qualified coworkers (whho have been there for 15+ years) after 2 years due to working my butt off and being valuable to the company. If you lie about your training and then sit on your ass all day then yes they will look for reasons to fire you. If you outperform your coworkers 2:1 then by all means, they should be looking for ways to keep you happy and keep you on.
As someone who still owns their childhood copy of FFIII (now known as FF6), I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one.
They're less strategy games and more interactive movies these days. History has taught us that people will go and watch a nearly unlimited number of sequels.
Explain how you get helium out of natural gas? During the drilling phase? You can't "make" atomic elements...
It's a stand alone Microsoft product that - shocker - has deep integration many of their flagship products. in addition to having SQL capabilities, it can even write files to native Microsoft file systems! Talk about getting sucked in to the walled garden!
It's a tabbed version of WordPad that allows you to paste in images, spreadsheet snippets, text etc, but has Deep Hooks in to Sharepoint to create things like programmable checklists for manual tasks that email out the results. It's been around since at least 2007. In the right hands it's very powerful but most people ignore it.
Coal gets a bad rap because almost all of our coal energy comes from 1970s era plants that have been getting exemptions from required upgrades for close to 50 years now. The plants that have been built since then (about 5% of all current plants) are awesome technological marvels, but they're in the vast minority.
The Jetsons also didn't have stairs, curbs, pedal controls and all the other obstacles that legs are really good at overcoming.
SCOTUS is bog-standard, IANAL but AFAIK you should be able to figure out SCOTSO Nevada. If he had said SCOTSN you might have had a point. IMHO.
