He might need that one week per month - just to recover.

Nah, just send one guy. He can do all the heavy lifting; plus he'll be the happiest guy in the solar system.
While I'm waiting for the corrected copy of Mars, Ho! to show up I've been working on another, Random Scribblings. It's a compilation of garbage I've littered the internet with for almost twenty years.
I imagine Beats/Apple isn't too happy with Bose's shenanigans regarding telling NFL players they can't wear their Beats headphones until 90 minutes after the end of the game.
Of course the players do it anyway, and Beats apparently pays the fines for them... but still.
Incidentally, the NFL isn't doing very well with regards to their endorsement deals - first Microsoft, and now Bose.
It's not regular DNA - it's Adonis DNA.
U.S. robotics researchers from around the country are collaborating on a project to build autonomous vehicles that could deliver food and medicine, and telepresence robots that could safely decontaminate equipment and help bury the victims of Ebola
I'm glad to hear the folks at U.S. Robotics have found something useful to work on, given how the dial-up modem business has tanked.
Sleeve cases for laptops are nothing new - I had one for my second-generation MacBook Air.
I know there really are people like you who like the Surface - I work with a Windows admin that loves his. But having used the latest Pro 3 with the "good" type cover... I don't get the love. Typing is awful, the trackpad is awful, and having to take one of your hands off that keyboard to touch the screen is slow as hell. I watch my coworker use his, and every time he reaches for the screen it's like whatever he's doing shifts to slow motion. it sure looks like a bad concept from top to bottom.
I get my view of how the lower class is treated by the cops, from watching the TV show "Cops".
Understandable, then why you hold your views of the poor.
Generally the poor are poor because they make bad choices.
Some people, true, but not generally. If you're raised by poor parents, you're up against a very big wall. It's hard for them to buy school supplies, and if you're raised by a single parent it's harder for them to help you because they're probably working two jobs. Having a single parent is the result of a poor choice, but it wasn't your poor choice.
And a poor kid can forget ever attending college.
People who have bills to pay and have to go to work in the morning don't have time to be out causing trouble.
Most of the US's poor work, and are not criminals. But the cops still treat them as criminals; hell, society itself does.
Those folks working at McDonald's, WalMart, the corner convenience store are all on food stamps. That friendly face you see at the checkout counter is the face of poverty, not the idiots you see while watching "Cops" (that show is government propaganda, BTW).
So we are a classless society, in that you're not stuck in one socioeconomic class no matter how hard you work.
Rags to riches is extremely rare and takes a hell of a lot more than hard work. My late uncle was one of the exceptions. Creativity and hand-eye coordination runs in the family, and a stroke of bad luck was the best thing that happened to Dan.
He was injured in WWII in the navy, and became friends with a fellow patient in the hospital who had lost a leg in the war. The army gave him a prosthetic, and Dan saw it and said "I can make a better leg than that" when his friend showed him the new leg, and he did. They went into the prosthetics business, and all it took to sell one was for Dan's partner to talk to a recent amputee, who would invariably say "What could YOU possibly know about it?" All he had to do was pull up his pants leg and it was an instant sale, because you would never know that he was missing a limb.
But there were so many lucky breaks, including genetics, that his rags to riches story (both sets of my grandparents were poor all their lives) would not have happened had a single thing, especially meeting his future partner, who was a born salesman; that's something that doesn't run in the family. We couldn't sell a ten cent hamburger to a starving man.
The fact is, if you're born poor you're almost certain to die poor, and if you're born rich you're almost certain to die rich. If you're born middle class there's no telling; you could die rich, middle class, or poor.
If this society is as classless as you say, then why did no one spend a single day in jail over the banking crimes that brought down the economy? Why did no one from Sony go to prison over XCP? Why was OJ Simpson "not guilty"? Do you think a poor black man would have been treated the same? Hell, a poor white man would have gone to prison under those circumstances.
Holy crap - someone is stil flogging that dead horse known as ogg? I thought it was 2014, not 2004!
Somehow I doubt Facebook is particularly interested in the personal data of the people signing up for this - they already HAVE that, by definition.
No, it's another way to expand their shadow profiles and collect more data on those people who aren't on Facebook, but are friends with (or related to) people that are.
I feel for you, dude. I lived in NE Austin for 12 years, but last year I moved to NW Austin. We just got sick and tired of being ignored by the city. I hope the new district plan will improve things for you. My suggestion is that you really pester your district representative as much as you can to improve things.
Except a lot of people here who think Musk can do no wrong absolutely hate Apple...
Cars don't last like they used to. I have seen several 100 year old Ford Model-Ts. I have never seen a 100 year old Tesla.
I see a 21-year-old Ford Escort almost every day...
And it takes forever for the system to figure out the correct clock speed...
That will come in handy if your Tesla ever gets taken over by the spirit of Jack the Ripper.
I don't know, I hadn't heard of them. Thanks for the heads-up, I'll give it a try!
Life is a healthy respect for mother nature laced with greed.
