Could the shock absorbers themselves (which are presumably more expensive than regular shock absorbers), plus the cost of installing them, plus whatever additional electronics are needed for them, actually have a chance of paying for themselves? They said it would be an increase in mileage of 10%, but a lot of cars on the road right now could realize 10% or better just by getting a tune up and checking their tires.
We advise you unplug your PC without saving anything, throw it away, and go buy another one.

Hence part of the move to cut back on CRJ's across the board.
But wouldn't it still be more profitable for the airline to run a full CRJ than a half-empty 747 (assuming that their expected sales for the route are accurate, which they almost never are)?
CRJ's are fast too. Just shy of being as fast as a 747. Plus they don't spend as much time climbing and descending from altitude. So hops are pretty quick.
True, the smaller jets to scoot around pretty well. And they load quicker, too, since they take far fewer passengers.
Though I wouldn't mind a little headroom in the aisle one of these days...
I don't remember the last time I flew on anything 747 or 747-sized. My flights have all been on CRJ's or EmbraerJets. I really can't say if life is better with more than one aisle, or what it is like to be able to stand up and not hit my head in on the airplane ceiling.
Although when flying alone it can be nice to be able to have a seat that is both a window and an aisle seat.
These have all been used by Leo Kuvayev (often under his alias "Alex Rodrigez" (note the last name spelling)) in his spamming operations. I'm sure there are more recent ones as well.
Good to see that more people are starting to pay attention to the role that registrars play in the spamming epidemic that is affecting everyone who uses the internet. Now that people are starting to shine a light on some of the crooked registrars maybe there will be incentive for them to clean up their act.
It's just too bad that these bumbling idiots are the ones tasked with trying to make the registrars fly straight.
Now if we could get some control of the ISPs and hosting companies, we could make some forward progress from the other end as well...
A lot of spam currently involves the illegal sale of (often bogus or counterfeit) drugs and (usually pirated) software. the registrars know this, too. But they continue to do business with these criminals anyways - why? Because they make money off of it, of course.
I'm a little disappointed that nobody realized I was being sarcastic in that one. Not sure how the bumbling idiots link got garbled into a non-link, but the text before it should have been a dead giveaway.
There are many, many registrars that keep records that wouldn't even pass as "horrible" in terms of identifying the true owner of a domain. And most of the spammers and scammers know which registrars they are, and use them for their business.
Also, there are many, many ISPs and hosting services that either don't speak English because they are in non-English speaking countries, or they pretend to not speak English when contacted with a problem (as in their front page is in English but their customer service is not). Again, the spammers and scammers know who those are and go to them for most of their business.

If the flier says "go to evilticketcontesting.com", you just need to find who that domain is registered to, and contact the registrar and ISP to have it shut down. This is quick and straightforward, since internet registrars all keep good records of who they sell domains to, and all ISPs respond quickly to requests that are written in plain English. We should have this problem licked in time for dinner.
Oh, wait. Registrar accreditation is handled by these bumbling idiots. And how many ISPs that offer hosting services respond to much of anything?
After all, do you know what a parking ticket looks like in your city, to be able to distinguish between a real one and a fake? I would suspect that most people who recognize the real thing either wouldn't bother to try to contest one, or don't do anything about them anyways. But for the larger portion of a city's population who has not been ticketed, they could well have a hard time telling a fake from the real thing.
And then you add in people who are from out of town, who would much rather not have to go back to your city to deal with a ticket...
True at some, but certainly not all, schools. My alma mater made money on football, basketball, and hockey, while losing money on the rest. Of course it helps to have a team that is at least slightly well-regarded, and to be in a big conference.
Whereas if you pay millions to your football staff, and post regular losing records, your odds of turning a profit are almost nil.
It didn't seem like there was anything that exceptional in there (in terms of something never-been-done-in-a-laptop-before, aside from the i7 CPU). We've seen two hard drives in a laptop before. We've seen tons of RAM and high-end video. We've seen 12 cell batteries.
Does this system have 2-3 pounds of special cooling hardware?
When will google do free web hosting? Sure they have the blogging tools but an actual google-hosted web page would be cool, something like damn-registrars.google.com would be neat. Of course they'd need to figure out some way to keep it from deteriorating into the detritus that was the final days of geocities, but that shouldn't be that hard of an obstacle for them to overcome.
Why would I want this, you might ask? Because google still hasn't indexed my website at home, several months after I filled out the form to request that they do so. If my website was hosted by google, and resided on google hardware and storage, they would presumably index my page a little quicker.
You say you were offered stock if you stay 5 years. Just to be clear, that is a bonus, and not your salary, right? I wouldn't take stock for salary (especially in this economy), but if you're offered a wage that you consider fair, plus stock as an incentive to stay, then it might not be that bad.
But if they are trying to pay you less than what you are worth, and offering stock in exchange, it would likely be a terrible idea to take them up on the offer.
Is it possible to do any kind of article on a commercial product without it being "astroturfing" of some form or another?
Yes, it is. They didn't need to write it as
Intel's X25-E Extreme SSD is easily the fastest flash drive on the market, and contrary to what one might expect, it actually delivers compelling value if you're looking at performance per dollar rather than gigabytes
When they could have just as easily said
We tested Intel's X25-E Extreme SSD drive in a four-disk RAID configuration
There was no need to tout the product like that on the front page.
I just want to know the SlashDweeb rules
There was no need for that, either. I rather doubt that someone is forcing you to read anything on this website. You could read something completely different if you prefer, or not read anything technical at all.
I stand by my criticism of this article. The headline did not need to be such blatant advertising of the Intel drives.
Intel's X25-E Extreme SSD is easily the fastest flash drive on the market, and contrary to what one might expect, it actually delivers compelling value if you're looking at performance per dollar rather than gigabytes
I hope someone got a healthy commission from Intel for writing that...
Do people regularly google their own SSNs? I have contemplated trying mine, but I'm a little apprehensive about where it might end up and what it might get electronically tied to.
Not trolling but honestly, why was this article flagged as corruption?
Most likely the same people who flagged it as "democrats". Rarely is anything tagged politically to honor someone; it is most likely that some people felt this to be a colossal fuck-up and they wanted to pin it on their favorite scapegoats.
Making someone go through the tedious boot-up sequence (50 years, Moore's Law, remember?) is a waste
I'm not convinced that boot times have followed Moore's law. It takes my newest computer significantly longer to boot up completely than did my old 286 in the days where everything ran in DOS.

In particular there is a tendency of creationists to cling to the idea of "social darwinism" to justify things like regressive taxation.

After threatening litigation, the city reached a $5 million settlement with the original vendor, Maximus
IANAL, but I suspect defending yourself in court against the city (with the city representing the court) could be difficult.

the football programs lose money

Putin, you would have made a fine leader during the Cold War for either side.
Would have?
I think for Putin (I probably don't need to remind you that he is ex-KGB), an argument could be made that to him the cold war hasn't ended yet.
