Dont cops have automatic plate recognition? Police are searching for a particular stolen vehicle, but likely find them when driving around. Tow truck drivers likely have similar systems.

In the drafting world, inch units are commonly referred to as English. So if things are drafted properly, .500 would be 1/2 an inch and 0.5 would be 1/2 a millimeter. (Things are rarely drafted according to specs.)

$500 doesnt go far with audio. For that amount it would be better to get a soundbar. And a soundbar is still way better than TV speakers.

I consider it valid criticism. It does not need to be a racial issue. When I was growing up, I was one of the few white kids in my circle of friends. One of the kids was always beating his chest on how the white man is keeping the brown ma

Buy a sound system. I now have a 3.1 setup and can hear the dialogue. A dedicated center channel makes a huge difference. Its amazing. Many AVRs can also adjust it so the dialogue is louder, but I haven't found a need.

News of the compromise will cause criminals to be more cautious and reduce communication. The entire news article could be fake and it will still be effective.

I do not like the incentives it place on the supplier. With a software package, they are required to compete not only with other companies, but also themselves from years ago. If they do not make worthwhile improvements, users will not upgr

I am completely debt free. My partner does not work. My cash reserves would provide a very good buffer and allow me to take over a year off mostly stress free. After that, I could support my family with a typical low skill job. Getting even

Commercial buildings tend to have very high ceilings. Maybe build a raised floor and put the plumbing under there.

If you live a debt free lifestyle, you will not worry about this as much. If I got laid off tomorrow, I would look forward to spending more time with my family.

A large portion of the advertising is to get people to switch brands. A smaller portion is to get new customers. Banning advertisement increases the profits for the already established brands (for at least the short term).

It's the consistent inconsistencies that causes it to be less confusing. It would be really weird to go from someplace very orderly to another that is haphazard.

It's like telling a minister that he only works for 1 hour a week because that is the only time that he is speaking in church. No thought given to the amount of time that is taken to write the speech or other church duties. * I made th
