My boss still uses 20 year old hardware which pleases me as I can still use my Model M-style ps/2 connected keyboard. It's the sort that has the backslash key to the right of the right-shift, just under the Enter. The most-used, most-perfect feature is the 10-key. Now does anyone here know how to convert an android phone dial to a 10-key layout? I'd be eternally grateful as my fingers have never been able to make the switch to a phone layout sight-unseen.
There's a single spot in front of 5062 N Raider Rd (northbound lane, near a stop sign just a bit to the south of Shenandoah High School) that is a couple years older than the surrounding. It shows three small trees with no fence, whereas all the other nearby streetview photos show 2 larger trees inside a new chain-link fence (the littlest tree didn't survive).

Why re-invent the wheel when the wheel is up for purchase?
My single venture into it has been through Sage BusinessWorks, which had worked flawlessly for the duration I was at my previous employer. The two most significant advantages over other software is the Separation of Duties ability, and the inability to delete transactions (they must be backed-out properly, instead). How I wish my current employer was interested in those benefits, among numerous others.
I had one of those 2 years ago and kept it on my desk at work. It cleans up easier than most of the units out there which is the best I can say about it. It's cheap, but effective. There are no metal parts, just plastic that's painted silver. My unit held up for 6 months with heavy use of 5 to 6 cups a days.
How about they remove all the seating and post 'no standing' signs on the top deck. With everyone on the top deck seated on the floor, if necessary they could just lean back or lie down as the bridge passes overhead. In addition, they could easily have everyone who goes up there sign a waiver which states they'll follow all posted safety precautions.
We earthlings should rename Ceres: Asteroid B-612
Since it had a volcano that needed tending to, water to help the Rose live and grow, and no current Baobab trees to speak of, we may assume that the Little Prince left when his Rose and all other plant life died.
Especially true if we can calculate Ceres' day to be long enough to forever remain in daylight simply by walking in the appropriate direction.
Let's just send billions of genetically modified metal-eating spiders up into space to catch all the fragments. If they can design their webs strong enough to catch the small stuff and weak enough to break when a working satellite passes through, then bingo! No more debris!
There is probably a decent market for these.
As this is predominately a learning experience, how about if the schools were to line up buyers at material cost and just start building them one after the other. When one sells, build another. Keep it going all semester long and that way everyone will have more and more ideas as they keep building.
If only it were possible for JLR to be able to confirm current owner identity by linking to the current insurance carrier of the vehicle. If the current insured name doesn't match what JLR already has, just send out a notification postcard to the insured on file that they need to come in for a reset.
Big if. But a rather simple fix to the whole situation if that's possible.
What percentage of pedestrians are carrying gps enabled cell phones? If we bump that up to 100% by the time fully autonomous vehicles are on the road, there will be no pedestrian crashes as the vehicle will be able to "see" everyone and slow down well in advance.
Problem solved.
