I phrased my response badly. Personally, my gear changing is fast enough to leave almost no discernable slow down and even my wife, who has only been driving stick for a couple of years and where I see some room for improvement does not take long enough to change gears in a way that would affect all but the most impatient of tailgaters.
You would have to be pretty bad at the changes to have that effect. I drive spiritedly and currently in an automatic and have been driving more than 20 years and I can never recall being affected by a stick-shift driver in that way (Though newbs to occasionally stall out). Distracted, inconsiderate and incompetents drivers are by far the rule.
Not always the case these days, unfortunately. Now, on many installations, a minimal driver set is stored in a compressed disk which is loaded into memory before the main root partition is mounted. If your driver isn't in that compressed disk, things start getting interesting.
Well, gear is perhaps the wrong term when it comes to CVT but I guess the issue is how quickly the CVT can adjust to give you appropriate mechanical advantage for the situation. I'd imagine there's no reason it couldn't be pretty damn fast.
The British corollary to Moore's law, Lucas' law states that about half of your transistor switches will start to function erratically every two years.
People are not an unlimited source of free money either which is why they forced that proposition thing through.
Of course, huge corporate tax breaks are not much good if you tax the population so much that the high cost of living means the companies have to pay higher wages, causing them to leave in droves for Texas and elsewhere (I can look out my window and see the "Nissan of America" building, previously headquartered in California).
CVT, not currently due to current designs and materials. It theoretically could be though.
VW's DSG could theoretically be on par but is more costly and complicated. It still can't anticipate the road ahead though which is what my preference for manual is about (though that can be compensated for with the correct control interface).
Any decent web filtering software allows blocking based on URL components, not just the domain. Google would have to work pretty hard to circumvent that and what would be the motivation?
You escape user input for SQL (if you're not using parameterized queries) or whatever database you're using. You escape the output for HTML or whatever you are outputting.
If you've ever run across an application where someone has HTML escaped user input before insertion into the database and you now want to output it in a format that isn't HTML, you'll know what I'm talking about. User data should usually be *stored* as accurately to the original as possible.

Meanwhile the libertarians argue that they can somehow create an economic utopia
That's a straight out lie.
They have to go back and forth on the diagnosis to give House's romantic back-story time to run its course. So blame the English

Search is a whole 'nother beast, probably second only to dates in its "gotcha" potential.
Interesting. I wonder if that's real-world too. If they did that in a diesel, I would be seriously tempted.
Net vs gross.
What are people buying new Samsung devices going to do with their old Samsung devices?
To be fair, they are Apple users. Or at least would be if they could.
Not and avoid a paradox.

That's "Siliconionium" to you, pal
Amazon is an internet company. What they lose on the margin, they can make up in volume.
What *are* you talking about? Maybe *you* don't know how to drive a manual.

Flex? Silverlight was just another Microsoft attempt to abuse the market and that's a play everyone has gotten wise to by now.
I think the <a href="javascript: predates even that.

Then we turn the subsidized food into ethanol and burn that too :(
