Your average petrol car in europe is a 1.0-1.6L econobox that gets around 45mpg or better.
That's absolutely not the case in Germany (at least in the South - no idea what the Northeners are doing;)). Most people have 1.8L-2.0L and 25-35 mpg is more realistic as well.
If you look at richer states like Baden-Wurttemberg you'll see tons of 2.5L+ engines with 3L/4L certainly not being that uncommon. Can't even count how many Porsche/Mercedes/BMW/[choose your premium car brand] I see when driving to work every day and pretty much none of them are below 2.5L. You'll have to look very hard for a 1.0L-1.6L car there.
WTF do you want to do with a 1.0-1.6L car on a German autobahn anyway? Better stay behind the trucks on the right...
According to wikipedia the definition of homo sapiens sapiens is outdated, because the Neanderthaler is not classified as a subspecies of homo sapiens anymore, but I'm no expert in this field.
If I went on Craigslist, and offered up 10 kilos of heroin, and had photos of what looked like 10 kilos of heroin, I'd be going to jail for selling 10 kilos of heroin, and anything that may have been involved in my procurement of said item.
Is this really the case in the US of A?
Sounds pretty wrong to me, although that naturally does not mean that it isn't true.
WTF does this even mean???
If I want social entertainment I go out with friends, play a game or whatever, but I'm surely not visiting any myspace pages...
Isn't this the case all over the world? The richer you are, the easier it is to circumvent taxes and pass it on to your offsprings through complex corporate constructs...
I completely agree with you that safety measures are not implemented properly. I fully agree as well that the operating corporations are not interested in expensive safety measures for unlikely incidents.
Nevertheless both issues are no inherent problem of nuclear power, but rather of capitalism/corruption.
At least in Germany the owner is responsible for illegal actions taken via his open wi-fi connection as long as he cannot absolutely identify the real perpetrator.
You're informed wrongly. Containment withstood the quake, but due to cooling failures the hydrogen buildups led to explosions later on. Problem was that the diesel generators powering the cooling system failed.
What's up with this goatse bullshit?????
Nobody cares viewing it the umpteenth time, nobody at/. will be upset by it and you just fucking waste our valuable time...
YSSCGKY!!
You may be confusing the US with Germany. In Germany, there are actual socialists and communists and atheists in office, and the totalitarian morale- & mind-police have their own political party.
I don't really understand this... does this mean that it is not determinable whether an option pricing formula for European puts/calls is optimal or what??
I'd say that a relative comparison makes more sense, from the viewpoint that you win economically as long as your opponent "goes broke" earlier.
Of course this ignores the fact that you may have left yourself in a relatively weak position compared to neutral third parties.
I only wish we could apply the same principles to drug users and other non-violent criminals.
I agree in principle, but would say that you can't generalize the statement that much. Financial criminals, for instance, should at least be forbidden to harm other people's finances.
I'd rather say that we shouldn't criminalize people that don't endanger or harm other beings in any physical or psychological manner. Some examples that come to my mind are private drug use or copyright violations.
In my opinion that is pretty much a core principle of anarchic systems as non-compliance with any legal orders is genereally also not hurting others. And both private drug use or copyright violations are pretty much artificial legal orders that don't directly affect others but rather interfere with the agenda of TPTB.
To return to the original topic: hate speech is pretty much in the grey zone as it potentially frightens or offends some group of people. I'd say that it's fine as long as the target group is not unvoluntarily forced/harassed to consume the information. That would mean to me that publishing hate speech on the internet or in a book is fine as no one is forced to read it. Stalking people on the streets and harassing them should be absolutely unacceptable. The interesting question here is where the line should be crossed.

Oh, and nice racism there, calling QQ "Chinese", thus implying it is strange and weird.
I always thought that China is inhabitated by homo sapiens as is the whole rest of our planet...
I don't get it... Simply install linux on the mac pro.

Anyway, at the rate humans, represented by democratically elected leaders, are fucking up the world, I doubt that it will survive another 50 years.
I'd bet that this argument is already several thousands years old and today as valid as in the past...

this post really made my day... :D
More related to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuttgart_21 in my opinion. And the alternatives are completely ineligible.

You seem to confuse open source software with free software (refer to FSF definitions). Despite that I completely agree with your post.
Playing a game implies fun for me. Professional chess sure ain't a game...

sure... as long as you have the biggest one

This can't be a good plan. It misses the ??? step!

...should be reproducible on a black-box level by intercepting traffic during regular game-play and extrapolating behavior.
Doesn't MS do this as well? Can't remember 100% but have some vague memories.
