Dear Mr AC, unfortunately, we have to inform you that the position you applied for in the paint and key-cutting department at our hardware chain has "already been filled"
I've often wondered why they do that kind of thing. I've kind-of come to the conclusion it's so they don't upset potential sponsors (especially competitors of the fuzzed out item). If you're Pepsi, what's the point of paying a bunch of cash for a thirty second spot if the dude on the show is drinking Coke throughout?
I remember one exactly like this. You could even see the bumps of the sense lines embedded in the plastic. Damned if I can remember what it was or was attached to though.
Whilst A sizes are definitely the better way for paper dimensions, I have a hard time holding anything against the letter size since it is the difference between the two that brought us the hexaflexagon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexagon
There are ways of mitigating that. Windows has typically been abysmal in this respect but even other operating systems could go a long way to improve things.
I'd buy LEDs at a significant premium over CFLs since I have had poor experience with CFLs (for whatever reason) whereas once LEDS are able to produce correct and sufficient light, I expect them to perform much better with a decent lifespan. I really wanted to like CFLs and was an early adopter but there's a reason the government had to make a law to force people to use them.
In many ways, it would have been better to attempt to advance regular fluorescent lighting that the whole CFL thing. At least when a tube or ballast goes out there, you don't have to wastefully throw the whole kaboodle away. Green, my arse.
My grandparents house had this arrangement. The sink was also in the bathroom. This meant one had to handle two doors between the requisite wiping and the washing of hands afterwards. Hardly more hygienic.
Also, while apparently offering an efficiency advantage of the use of the bath not interfering with the use of the toilet and vice versa, coming out of the toilet to find that someone was occupying the bathroom (and therefore the sink) was not a pleasant experience.
I suspect whoever designed things this way did not think things through. Or it was some kind of holdover from outside toilets (This was a post-war government-built house)
Things are a lot better than they were though. My old MkII Ford Escort didn't have galvanized body panels or plastic wheel well liners and the doors were almost falling off by the time I got rid of it (not to mention replacing the sills and rear wheel arches)
I have news for you. When the kid in the back seat of the SUV with the pointy corners on the rear doors swings it open, they don't care what your car looks like or even if it's there.
Other than parking away from other vehicles, the two best things you can to do avoid dings is to avoid cars with children and avoid ratty looking cars. Oh, and keep an eye out for those damn pointy-cornered doors.

Possibly. Bear in mind that e-ink is not active display. A thin capacitor could feasibly store enough charge to work in bursts.
At least until they decided they couldn't be bothered to put any effort into things like props or actually having a decent, coherent story.
Even better, usage differs between the UK and the US. This leads to not a little confusion when I'm dictating code to American colleagues.

Ah... But have you ever seen them in the same room together?

Mosquitos don't kill people, plasmodia kill people.
Why should Idaho get all the fun?

And this is a large part of the reason the Beetle looks somewhat like a Porsche. It's a throwback to the original styling.

Watch out. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile.

I just feel bad for John Goatse.
My first one, bought around 1997, lasted one week. They weren't cheap back then either.
Not mutually exclusive.
Heat radiates fine in a vacuum. It's conduction and convection that become problematic.

Those sensors are supposed to be an aid. You are still supposed to be making sure it's safe to back up anyway.
You will find the law is similar everywhere in the US and much of Western Europe because it simply makes sense.
