An example: The train you're on is running 30 minutes late, and you need a cab to get you to the day's last ferry, or you will have to wait until morning. That's when you'll really appreciate what a skilled cabdriver can do for you.
I fully understand what you mean by "skilled cabdriver." I have to walk/drive on the same roads as the aforementioned "skilled cabdrivers," and thus I direct you back to my previous post.
I have a perfect record getting people to the stations, sometimes needing to cut off a departing bus, or running up to a train to keep the doors from closing. An autonomous cab cannot do that (yet?).
God, I hope not. What the world really needs is less of that, not more.
I just went to ebay and logged in, and was surprised to see nothing regarding this on their main page.
“eBay Inc. (Nasdaq: EBAY) said beginning later today it will be asking eBay users to change their passwords...”
A tablet may not be the best place to run virtual machines or servers, and nothing else really requires more than 8GB of RAM.
Running Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom on less than 16GB can be painful.
[...]it should not automatically connect to an insecure network that it has never seen before.
Well, if that's what you meant, then you're in luck. As you originally wrote, "There needs to be an update to iOS and Android that gives users the option to disable this feature." That's not necessary, because there are (and have always been) a grand total of two toggles in the Wi-Fi settings on iOS: "On/Off" and " Ask to Join Networks
I would just shrug and go, "Huh. That was an expensive mistake... managers just don't understand workplace economics these days." Then walk out.
Firing an employee is the worst thing for a company. It removes the employee's expertise, disrupts current operations, then requires retraining of other employees to cope.
All of this presumes that the employee's position won't simply be eliminated. Considering that this happened during a conference call during which potentially hundreds of layoffs were announced, it's quite probable that the standard economic model doesn't necessarily apply.
Seriously, bearing in mind that there are non-fictional species on Earth that can effectively change their reproductive systems within their own lifetimes
You may want to look into what some animals on Earth are capable of.
And then he went on to give me examples of things about which I'd already written, as quoted. Of course, that I wrote about it seemed to imply that I already knew this.
With sex being a changeable characteristic, labels like "mother" and "father" get confusing....
...to your limited human understanding. Seriously, bearing in mind that there are non-fictional species on Earth that can effectively change their reproductive systems within their own lifetimes, that's hardly the most imaginative, alien concept ever to pass through the canon of the Doctor.
historically in much of the world cooking was done apart from living spaces - either outside or in an alcove or courtyard. So many of today's houses and apartments really are not that well thought out, if you stop to think about it.
Oh, yes, especially considering how often we cook by burning wood or charcoal inside our homes today. It's a wonder that no one has pointed out the danger of our anachronistic cooking methods before.
Most cost overruns are due to scope creep.

It's sensless to compare software and cars age-wise.
Cars get degraded as the years pass. Software is identical, it's not worn of or anything like that.
Although it's true that the car analogy was highly flawed, it's also unwise to imply that Windows installations do not degrade over time. There was a time, in the not-too-distant-past, when Microsoft would recommend periodic re-installation of Windows.
(Do user-choosable errors even count as problems?)
Of course they do. There's even a specific category for that.
I don't know what kind of applications you run to need 8gb of ram; video editing, big games?
Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and image files at either ~21MP or 5300 DPI (depending on whether I used a full-frame DSLR or scanned 35mm negatives). At a mere 16GB RAM in my primary workstation, I'm due for an upgrade.
Ok, yes, if the owner has left the keys in the ignition, the doors unlocked, and walked away leaving a big sign on the car saying "please steal me".
Of course, because no otherwise secure system has ever been compromised by a zero-day attack.
