I'm loving my 2015 XPS 13 fwiw. I have stuck to desktops for many years now because laptops just didn't give me the experience/functionality I was looking for. This one does it with an i5 processor and I really wouldn't want anything less.

our local skate park is as busy as ever

in California the fine would 10 -100 times that. CARB publishes a quarterly report of the fines they issue for air quality violations and they are rarely less than $200k for something as simple as accidently running a diesel stationary backup generator. The Chevron Richmond refinery was fined 2 mil by Contra Costa…

You guys have seen the Dirty Jobs where they clean the KC-135R fuel tank right? Dirty Jobs - Tank Rat:

Work stoppage usually costs a lot of money so I would assume the financial penalties are actually worse than just the fines. But still, potentially lethal negligent errors should generate fines at least six figures.

might have something to do with not being able to fly for shit

It makes perfect sense that they'd pick the company that's developing add-on self-driving capabilities

In the immortal words of Sean Connery, "what can you do with 10 that you can't do with one"

I'm still amazed T-Mobile or somebody isn't making it possible to point two phone numbers to a single sim. I would pay for that in a second.

How is this any different from an idiot flying an RTF rc plane in the same way? It's criminal negligence.

I read elsewhere that Hangar One is becoming a research lab for cutting edge projects like space and robots

I'm guessing the motivation for this is about gathering data about users to feed its AI in order to improve purchase suggestions. Functionality listed in that video is kinda gimmicky otherwise. And of course they will be pushing towards ecosystem lock in.

You hate mail and parcel carriers, but not taxi drivers? I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

Nope still there. It's fun though. I get to see C5s overhead once a week where I live. Doing their weekly run to NASA.

Try Zello. Works great.

Who said anything about Apple? As far as I remember, Palm and Blackberry did most of the heavy lifting. MS was an also-ran even back then but they sold a lot of units to the enterprise because of their integration with Exchange Server. Since you're so smart, why don't you educate me on how MS pioneered the smart phone.

For electric vehicles, it's two years. Beware anyone saying an ev is going to be out in two years.

In no way did MS "pioneer" anything related to smartphones

Microsoft is the first tech giant to have a cross-platform wearable? Where am I? Who is this?
