>The factory does lose money on factory time and employee wages. Fair enough, but I can just as easily say I refuse to pay for the design of it, however, I will pay for materials and manufacturing costs.

Ok, then what about a DVD? You could say the same thing of a car vs movie by giving them the $.1 for the DVD itself, not the content on it. Regardless, it doesn't matter whether it's a physical good or digital. Both physical goods and digit

Things like this already happen. If you own a Nissan GT-R and bring it to Japan, it's capped at a top speed of 111mph. Using GPS, the car knows if you're at a racetrack, and then the speed limiter is bumped (or removed, I forget). Also, if

I can imagine there are plenty of those types out there, but I was trying to make an analogy of people claiming to pirate because they only like 2 songs off of a 14 track CD. (as in only using 50% of your consulting work, so I'll only pay y

I don't disagree with his desires, however, these points make him appear as an avaricious 10 year old who deserves anything he wants. >Now, I don't care when, where or how you release it. If I want it, I'll get it. I really like the new

While I do agree that learning from your mistakes is a huge part of education, I think your interests are a close second. Generally, I'm intrigued by something that others deem to be difficult. I scored better grades in all of my engineerin

I understand that this example is just an anaology, but there is a fine line that the author doesn't acknowledge between trying something new and difficult to stretch your boundaries, and taking too big of a risk that may compromise other a

I can't tell if you're trolling at this point because this conversation has spun to some irrelevant cost vs brand appearance logic. First of all, we've been talking about new cars and 15 year old models are being brought into the discussion

I'll try to translate this to another industry for you. Think about premium brands such as Sony, Apple, and Samsung. They make high end electronics that cost a pretty penny. Not everyone can afford a $2,500 laptop or $3,000 TV. When these g

You must have missed when I said "Electric cars certainly do need to evolve and Tesla has done an incredible job, but there are dozens of other manufacturers out there that are just as capable." Are you trying to argue that you're not payin

>Does this mean they will have a $15,000 model in 2018? That would be great. I wouldn't want Tesla to release a car even at $30,000. It takes away the from the rarity and coolness. Electric cars certainly do need to evolve and Tesla has

I don't think this is supposed to be viewed as a "fat people policy." If the airlines were to implement this they wouldn't do it to punish obese people. It's not like they're going to calculate your BMI. It would be purely on weight; whethe

I find the "become productive in situation x" blog posts and articles extremely irrelevant to me. Most of the time there's nothing new and insightful that I haven't thought of already. Everyone is different and motivation doesn't always com

Maintenance isn't "that" bad, but be aware if you're out of warranty and anything major breaks it will kill your wallet. I have an S4 so it's even pricier than the A models. If you know how to change your own oil, do it; you'll save $75+. A

As a gearhead, nearly everything on that list is ingrained in my DNA, EXCEPT buy luxury(and performance) later. My reasoning is that technology is improving so rapidly that every new model of most cars have made gains that are ridiculously

Once you get through the basics, think of a couple small programs to write to test out your new skills and you'll be sure to encounter new problem. Some of the first programs I wrote in PHP included sorting and ordering a list of numbers an

I'd like to add to this simply because I had a very similar experience but with PHP. There were definitely times when I was extremely frustrated and wanted to give up. There were a couple times when I had 5+ hour sessions and got nowhere, t

James, this is in response to what you said to my last comment. The reply button wasn't showing. Anyway, that 150-160 hours was to the point where I was comfortable enough to sit down and code away. I'm still working on the system and I'm s

During the initial learning phase I wasn't as enthralled because who cares what $this->someFunction($variable) means? I'd say I put in around an hour per day for the first month and then once I got the hang of it, probably 2-4 hours per

There aren't too many manufacturing facilities in the US of that size that are automated to the extent you mentioned. There are many situations where it's nearly impossible to have a robot do the job such as installing wiring harnesses, ins
