The cost of operating them is so high partly because of the anti-nuclear fears. Of course in the US, the military can do whatever they want, but private shipping companies would have to make exhaustive security measures (which aren't needed to operate the ship safely) just to satisfy the customers.
I still don't understand why so few ships use SkySails. I mean, it increases their profit margin with the same speed but less fuel consumption, and I find it hard to believe the sails are more expensive than the fuel for a small number of voyages. Do the sails strain the ship's hull so much that it needs reinforcing, or does the hull have to be designed specifically for them?
At a ball game, the same company that organizes the event also pays the security guards. They can choose to their own terms and conditions for attending the event. Also, a customer can choose either not to visit the game or visit another.
At an airport, even though your money goes to the airline and/or airport authority, the security is provided by your own tax dollars, and neither the airline nor the customer can choose some other method or provider. Exactly because you don't have a right to fly, the government should not interfere so strongly.

Well, if you need 500 people working together for the common good of the state, isn't the Socialist president the perfect fit?
Don't target the website, target the servers that do the money-traffic!!!!
In other words, Project Mayhem.
The browser's title bar says "Programming mistakes to avoid - Sashdot". Not unreasonable.
Whenever yo hear "framework", run like hell.
Except when the framework is Qt.
Ever see Windows code?
$ git clone git://microsoft.com/windows.git
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out)
Sorry, but no.
It's also another way of saying "I don't know anything about programming or programmers, so I'll just say something in between".
Ads? On my Internet?
Isn't OpenDNS better, with Google not knowing about every site you visit?
Unity, unity, unity, geez, these developers certainly have one mind and no imagination. :P
Well, their minds are working in unity :)
I hate having to wait 6+ months (or 2 years if you stick with LTS) to get app upgrades, so I switched to OS X for my laptop years ago.
Did you try ArchLinux? It's usually the fastest to get new packages.
maintenance of order will arise spontaneously from chaos, because order benefits everyone.

KDE/Qt apps look native in GNOME. GNOME/Gtk apps look horrible in KDE.
You mean like Corbomite?

Depends on whether the swallow is of African or European origin.

Unfortunately, they seem to be incompatible with my file system. Do you know any other FS that might work with that?

I wonder if you could use this material to write messages on your body?
A TSA agent raped and murdered my wife. Find him and kill him.
Al Qaeda did not harm people who voted for them. TSA does.
We were all waiting for the years of "Fusion" and "Linux on the desktop", but instead we got "Linux on the Fusion".
The Slashdot Cybernetics Corporation: Their fundamental flaws are completely hidden by their superficial typos.
After someone rapes you/your wife/daughter, let me know how you feel.
Nothing of value will be lost.
SimCity != Real Life.
But don't worry, nobody will have to work after fusion arrives in 2050, so you'll have some time to play then.
