They keyrings are fairly cheap (considering) but the server software is somewhat pricey (though not in terms of the kind of money banks should be willing to spend on such things).
Not true. There's a move which rotates the center squares between three of the faces (and the opposite three also). Now, that would mean having to only move the six center stickers but it invalidates your argument.
No reason browsers couldn't scale bitmaps though. Video might depend on the codec but most video scales pretty well these days. You might lose the benefit of the higher resolution on the scaled bitmaps but you'd still get adantages with the fonts and other vector type components.
Agreed totally. As someone who has taken both the BMF (British Motorcycling foundation) and MSF courses, I can say that laying down was recommended against in each.
As someone who has also actually (unintentionally) put a bike down a couple of times, I can testify that it's not much fun.
That's the point. The equipment is broken. It was paid for by the purchaser and is preventing them from doing something perfectly legal tat they want to do with it.
The equipment is the property of the end-user, not the network.
Yeah, it was the same with dialup and ICS. Particularly annoying when I was working in a place with dodgy phone lines... Connection goes down, all those large file transfers die instantly even if the same IP address could be obtained when redialled. With Linux, the system would redial and the transfer would continue where it had left off providing it hadn't timed out.
Microsoft have a very skewed view about proper operation sometimes. This also happens in open source but its strength is that someone can provide a better solution and if it's truly better, it will get adopted and become the standard.
"screen" is ideal in such situations. Not so helpful in other circumstances though. I would love to be able to resume X connections or drop and resume from elsewhere. I believe there's commercial software that makes this possible (VNC comes close but is not quite good enough in all situations). Course, that means you also have to be running the X-Server "proxy" on the (a) remote server.
Not everywhere shares a Western reverence for books. Books are somewhat fragile and it's hard to hide a library when a neighboring warlord comes rampaging through.
Yes. Coasting in gear is the correct thing to do in my car. I was just responding you your claim that coasting in neutral was the best thing.
FWIW, this is because I have a diesel engine and a stochiometric mix of fuel/air does not need to be maintained. Thus no fuel needs to be supplied whilst coasting in gear whereas when not in gear, fuel must be supplied to keep the engine running.
If academics are still debating the cause, I think that implies woolly thinking and inability to see past certain assumptions that they regard as axiomatic. I suspect your assesment of the cause is correct.
No, this is not creating money. As another poster notes, there is also the debt to be reckoned.
Where banks create money is where you deposit your $100 in a bank and then the bank loans out $100 to Alice, $100 to Bob, $100 to Charles, $100 to Diana, $100 to Eric, $100 to Fred, $100 to George, $100 to Helen, $100 to Irene and $100 to Jules.
The bank then collects interest on that. If you assume about 10% interest, that's $100 return on your $100. Even if you somehow were obtaining the same rate of interest, you'd only get $10 of that. Of course, you can't use your $100 to lend $1000 and get $100 return but the privately owned banks get special dispensation from the government.
Now, you and Alice to Jules have been working away, producing goods and providing services and increasing value and the banks have been allowed to suck $100 out of that economy for, well, doing what exactly?
Fractional reserve banking, it's a bad thing. Really. The money supply does need to grow but, if anything, the government should print it and use it to pay for the stuff it provides and maybe cut some taxes instead of allowing a bunch of rich people to get even richer for doing sweet FA.
If using a manual tranny, when the light turns red your best bet is to put the clutch in then. That saves even more than simply taking your foot off the gas in an automatic.
Not necessarily so. My car uses less (no) fuel when slowing down in gear than idling in neutral.
A lot of congestion is down to flow control issues. The end of my own commute randomly is completely clear or tacks on five minutes if someone has got in the right lane and isn't turning right at the lights, causing the traffic to back up to the interstate exit, causing slow merging, causing traffic to back up to the *other* interstate exit, causing slow merging there. Eliminate the flow issues and you greatle alleviate congestion.

Maybe if he says sorry and agrees to shake hands.
And says it like he means it.
And no crossed fingers.

I like space but the future of space is in private enterprise. At least to get us to the next stage. If anything, NASA is holding progress back now.

Many users have wireless routers and operate laptops from other parts of their home. Welcome to 2008.

The government is the one with the guns. And big government is what causes big business in the first place.
