Agreed about the expensive part. Not really gutless though, they have good low end torque and do give very good MPG for non-lead footed drivers.
I have looked at several hybrids and they are $10,000 more then the gassers such as the highlander. I am not paying that much for the hybrid option.
And if the government got over it's SpaceX fear, it could launch many of them on the Falcon 9 for much less money.
Except the Atlas, Falcon, Anartes all having good reliable launches.
Just to underscore how unreliable the Proton is you are referring to not even the latest failure, that was the 2013 failure. Just last month ANOTHER failed. Russian rockets are not super reliable.
Care to back that up with anything? The last engine test that blew up was a Russian one for a Antares rocket. The last rocket to fail with payload was a Russian proton.
Soyuz and space shuttle are almost identical for loss of crew rates. Russian rockets are not more reliable.
Why is there a requirement to turn them over in a single day? When the US offloaded GM shares it did it at a slower pace. In this case the government could offload them over two weeks and maximize return.
If it did as opposed to going to a standard exchange this would make sense. If it would normally just change them for Dollars at a bank at a KNOWN RATE then this Bitcoin auction makes no sense. The government may get only 50% of the value or less of these Bitcoins by doing it this way when a known US company such as Bitpay or Coinbase could do it for them at a pre-arranged rate.
I said 'may be'. I do not know. I am not an expert on laws in the UK.
A scam would be someone who takes money for a cab ride but does not deliver it, or someone maybe who charges an undisclosed fee to unlock the doors at the destination. Uber is not a scam. The user is not being defrauded, nor is the provider.
Confidence trick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Con man" and "Scam" redirect here. For other uses, see see Con Man, Confidence man, and Scam (disambiguation).
A confidence trick (synonyms include confidence scheme and scam) is an attempt to defraud a person or group after first gaining their confidence, in the classical sense of trust. A confidence artist (or con artist) is an individual, operating alone or in concert with others, who exploits characteristics of the human psyche such as dishonesty, honesty, vanity, compassion, credulity, irresponsibility, naïveté, or greed.
You need to learn what the word scam means. Uber may be breaking laws or violating rules, but so long as they reliably and fairly do what they advertise, it is not a scam.
I took a taxi in London in 2005, it cost me $80 for a 15 minute trip. Yes, the exchange rate was bad, but I am sure that it is similar in price today. Yes, I took the underground there but it had closed for my return. Uber would bring competition and potentially lower prices.
In related news, hundreds of thousands of Londoners just found out about Uber.
Or swaps logins with another comcast customer, so they each use each others logins on their own routers.
Not true. The cost has been low enough it is not much of a blip on their balance sheet.
Actually, as a private organization, it would be up to them to decide whether to disallow openly gay players and / or owners. Perspective owners and players would need to know of such a rule (and fans would want to know about it, too). Those who don't agree with such a stance would be free to not participate in nor support such an organization. No one's legal rights would be trampled.
As per homosexual players, I think their teammates should have the strongest word, considering that most locker rooms don't have private showers. Personally, I choose which teams to support based on performance on the field and moral conduct of its owners and players. I don't take into account sexual orientation, but will note if the owner cheats on a spouse.
That is insane. If you could do that, you could do the same to people of religion (or lack of it).

Despite its accessibility, many doctors say the medication wasn't a good option for patients.
Although the CFC ban is what eventually drove Primatene Mist from the market, Pulmonologist have argued for years that it was at the very least, not the best medication for asthma control, and at worst, dangerous. The active ingredient in Primatene Mist is Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline, adrenalin), which can cause a dangerous increase in heart rate.
"Primatene Mist does not treat asthma -- it treats symptoms that can come from asthma," said Dr. Kyle Hogarth, an assistant professor of medicine and the medical director of the pulmonary rehabilitation program at the University of Chicago Medical Center.
The danger in treating only symptoms, he said, is that repeated asthma attacks can permanently damage the lungs. Poorly controlled asthma can progress to a point where, "in their 40s and 50s, [patients] have the lungs of someone who is 80 or 90 who has smoked."
For that reason, the goal of asthma care isn't to react just to attacks -- it's to prevent attacks in the first place. That's generally done with daily medications, such as inhaled corticosteroids, which keep the airways from becoming inflamed. Ideally, Hogarth said, rescue inhalers shouldn't be used more than twice a week, at most.
Sounds great, but one of the symptoms of asthma is not being able to BREATH. Primatene is good for dealing with that quickly and when you are having that issue you want to deal with it.
I turned on google maps in Italy. No data made it through and the phone never left Edge mode (2g). Somehow I had $300 worth of charges for 10 mins of trying. More data was billed then edge could have moved during that time if it was maxed out the entire time.
The first phone call immediate got $25 knocked off but nothing more and was a half hour and two reps. The second call got it to $150 or so as they said they would split it with me. I insisted all along that I got NOTHING out of the attempt and they said they had no power. I was promised a call back by someone who could fix it but that did not happen in the time they said. The third call was an hour, two reps again with promised call back that did not happen. The final call not only got it fixed but they sent me a (useless but sellable) microcell and full credit.
It sucks that nearly 3 hours of my time and theirs was wasted. The major point that got me my money back was they did not return my calls when they said they would. They insisted the entire time that the data flowed and I was using the internet successfully.
For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
