Comment: Where do they make IPhones? (Score 1) 297

Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 prohibits unfair import competition

I understand this should be valid if Apple manufactures the IPhone in the US. Protection of US industry. There is no industry for IPhone in the US, only commercial interest. Nobody except some retailers and Apple get better of it.
IMHO, both HTC and IPhone are imported products.

I think there might be something wrong with the problem analysis. You should consider why a bug does reappear. Wrong version in Production? Or as you stated not enough tested.
1) First of all, You have to make a inventory of all existing bugs in the application.
2) you need to describe the possible Workarounds. Here you can already start calculating the estimated cost of each incident provoked by a bug.
3) prioritize the bugs. The more urgent, the more they will cost the bussiness by not functionning and resolving time
4) Focus on some Quick wins. bugs who doesn't consume much time and money to solve.
5) Keep in mind that having a good Workaround is sometimes better
6) Make a bussiness plan. Explain the benefits versus the money lost (consider lost worktime as a los off money)would be cheaper to redesign the app.

Managers are willing to pay for improvement, but they have to be convinced. The only language they understand: MONEY.
Briefly you talk about the money you loose doing nothing, versus the Return on Investment (ROI) doing something.

This tells you more about the SUV then about the smaller vehicle.

The same thing could be said about accidents between a Truck and a SUV or a tank and a SUV.

Most of time I find SUV drivers driving arrogant, forcing the smaller vehicle to let pass the SUV.
I'm also concerned about safety and I've seen many people driving a SUV behaving like this.

I guess more people would have survived if the other car wasn't a SUV?

Besides this, its a observation that most people buying a SUV doesn't need to have one.

Perspective: During most prison riots, the prisonners start throwing al sort of rubish to their guards.

In Gaza, you have fences, airport and harbour are closed since years by the Israelis.
The prisonners in Gaza are capable of firing rockets.

Traffic accidents have cost more lives in Israel then those rockets. I never saw the IDF bomb GM or Toyota. It would definitly save more Israelis.
