You say “places” and then say “into the field” along with “collect some data … via wifi” and “might do a bit of coding”.

So having supported field staff for a couple decades in various roles couple questions come to mind.

First, will you have access to a decent flat surface (like a desktop/table, etc) to work on? Yes, you see people working with it on their lap at the airport, but really, that’s just because they’re desperate to get it done. You don’t want to work that way

Second, is the “field” basically clean? i.e. Indoor office/store type environment or is it “field” like oil field rig, truck stop, construction site, etc.

Third, are you dependent on interacting with local staff while collecting data and will busting out a laptop be intrusive on that interaction?

Fourth, if this is truly a uni-purpose device, can a simplified tablet or phone be purposed to talk to the data collection device? i.e. could you just use a $59 Amazon BLU android phone with an app to collect the data?

The answers determine if you really what just a $200 disposable laptop, low-end tablet or tabletesque PC like the Surface or Ipad with keyboard.

I hope not, “Happy Days” tortured on for seven more years after that.

So DJX 180 Dec 2016 Puts at $3.80 or 185 Dec 2016 Calls for $1.97?

I suggest you tape and take a good long look at all three hours of “Today”.

Seriously, that last hour with Hoda and Kathy Lee, not as vulgar, but just as crass, IMO.

It’s like watching a couple 50 year old high school girls talking smack.[/quote]

People confusing TV shows with reality. That is why Trump is doing so well.[/quote]

Says the guys taking the Access Hollywood tape as bible. ROFLMAO.

[quote=SK in CV]

No, morning tv is not just as crass. It’s not even close. That argument presumes that the problem is the word pussy. That word causes eye rolls not outrage. Pussy isn’t the problem. Grab is the outrageous word. Kathi lee and Hoda aren’t promoting or bragging about sexual assault. Whining about pussy is a distraction.[/quote]

I wasn’t talking about Trump, I was reading the thread and taking the ‘I don’t talk that way’ as being about the cutting a guys balls off type of thing on Facebook. I see shit like that all the time. Daytime TV is that level of discourse.

Trump’s shit, that’s a whole different thing.

Bunch of holier than thou type liberals posting on Facebook and going off on Public Radio, but failing to understand or delve into the fact that women say stuff like “if it were me, I would have cut his dick off” and ” hang him by his balls” and “kick him in the balls” “shove a stick up his ……[/quote]

Uh, my wife has never ever said anything even remotely like that. Ever.

Nor have I ever said anything like Trump said. Ever.

I can say that for sure.[/quote]

I don’t personally know anybody over the age of 21 who talks like that either. And I am pretty sure that if somebody talked like that, most people I know will certainly not condone it.[/quote]

I don’t know flu, I was watching Real Time with Bill Maher and the English journalist make a great point.

Countries have been bizarrely voting to “self harm”, he pointed to Brexit and said it’ll screw up the English for ages but made the point that the people lied to the pollsters. He pointed to Colombia and said basically, holy shit, they had a cease fire with FARC on a 50 year war, the people lied to pollsters and then voted to reject the peace deal.

He, like I previously said, people are lying about not voting for Trump. People should get ready.

[quote=SK in CV][quote=AN]Does it really matter what she say? She said so herself that she has a private and public position. What you hear might not be what the private bankers hear.[/quote]

She didn’t say anywhere in that line the two were different or inconsistent with each other. As she said last night, one is used to convince the masses, and another is used to convince those she meets with in small rooms. Her goal remains the same, to get the deal done.

There doesn’t appear to be anything in Clinton’s current plan to do away with stepped up basis.[/quote]

Wow you really swallow the spin.

Don’t waste your vote, vote third party.[/quote]

Vote for third party or not voting is also the same as voting for Donald or Hillary. You just chose to let others make that choice for you.[/quote]

This is California, your choice is completely irrelevant so instead of being a lemming and letting the two part system take you for granted, make your voice heard.

Or not, and in a 2024, you’ll look back thinking how good these two choices were.

[quote=svelte]As SK and I said prior, Trump’s words were not locker room talk:

http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/10/politics/locker-room-talk-athletes-respond-trnd/index.html

And Trump has admitted he lies. Either he lied on the bus to Billy Bush, or he lied in last night’s debate when he said he didn’t do the things he said to Billy Bush. Take your pic – either path leads to a lie.[/quote]

It’s just public and private positions. 😉

Don’t waste your vote, vote third party.

[quote=deadzone]And this is with the TW 50Mb/s Internet service.[/quote]

I’m assuming TW means Time Warner, which means you’re really on shared pipe.

You’ve got a 50mbps pipe limit, but the reality is anytime anybody is loading big shit, you’ll get bad jitter. I’ve got TW – 50 Mbps service and frankly, beginning of the day and early evening, their lag just sucks worse than our Presidential Candidates, IMHO.

[quote=moneymaker]If it is public property that the oil is under then it should belong to the people and sold at market price to whoever is willing to bring it up out of the ground. If private property then the pool belongs to the people who own the property above it. Since it is a poor country best thing is to bring the oil up out of the ground as quickly as possible so that the wealth can be used for the good of the owners of the land and spread to others. Money is like manure, it is only good if you spread it around.[/quote]

I’m sure you’re aware of this, in California (and most of US) you do not want any valuable minerals found under your land. The mineral rights are held separately and their right to extract supersede your right to use the land above. Technically they have to return it in similar condition but years and latent pollution….

You’re still thinking of it as winners and “Losers”.

Those high tech jobs are growing like mad, the only problem is they’re growing slower than the labor force. So train your kid to be one of the high achievers, they can chase the shrinking pie like all those “losers”.

http://www.prb.org/Publications/Articles/2012/scientists-engineers.aspx

Teach your kids to compete, adapt, that’s all good. Teach them to study, learn and strive, that’s good too.

Eventually maybe you’ll ask yourself how long it will last if we’ve set up the playing field so 95% of population is chasing a shrinking pie, 4.9% are holding their own, and everything else is going to the 0.1%?

The pie the growing, 95% don’t see any of it.

[quote=flu-redux][quote=no_such_reality]So flu, everything you say you’re for is the libertarians. Why are you voting for Clinton instead of Johnson? Purely because you’re afraid Trump might beat her in California? Cause frankly, if so many defect from Clinton she losses California, I think it won’t matter.[/quote]

Johnson has no shot at winning because he is so off from.the other two
…If Trump wasn’t so close to Hillary or Johnson was close enough, I would.
I am being pragmatic.[/quote]

Clinton has close to a 20 point lead in California.

Johnson won’t win, but Johnson getting 15% sends a message. Clinton not getting 50% sends a message.

Voting for Clinton is saying the two parties giving this choice is okay.

But I get it, the risk of Trump is too great of a threat to your family. Devil you know. Eight more years of the last eight years we’ll okay.

I don’t actually believe that. The last eight years were just a continuation of the prior 40 years. 40 years that saw the greatest wealth concentration since the Gilded Age.

This election is no longer about who is President this round, it’s really about what kind of candidates we see next time.

Trump needs to lose, badly, Clinton and the DNC needs to shit their pants that they nearly loss.

A repeat of 2000 would be good. An Electoral deadlock even better. Johnson taking any state and f***ing it all up the best (not going to happen)

IMHO, the DNC needs to get to Nov 9th and realize their rigging the primary against Bernie might cost them.

IMHO, Bernie versus Trump wouldn’t even be close.
