Roundabouts near supermarket gas stations (which have cheaper fuel by ~0.10 €/l) are also problematic because eventually the queues reach the roundabout.
SImple answer to that. Only allow access to/from the gas stations on the approach to the roundabout, not the exit from it. If it backs up traffic, it only affects one road, so no gridlock.
But the dead non-witches could still have a Christian burial, while the living witches could be tortured until they repented. Either way, the inquisitors figured that a soul was "saved". Oddly, the very idea of a "lost" soul would seem (especially before relativity theory) to imply that souls have zero rest mass. They're not just light, they must be entirely massless!
Well, they advertise "Sync", but they don't AFAIK admit to letting MS control the engine. But they don't really need sw to set your car on fire, they can do that with just bad hw design. e.g. putting unswitched unfused resistive pressure sensors in contact with brake fluid (powered even with the car parked in the garage).
Of course GM use QNX, but they too can set your vehicle on fire with hardware: they just recalled a whack of Silverados etc with unprotected heaters in windshield washer fluid (which has a lot of methanol in it).
Toyota are now using QNX too, but no word if it was in place for the runaway acceleration. Of course, that was all driver error...
The era of RIM/QNX lock-in with the auto industry is with us for a while to come. Long before it ends, a new generation of kids in SUV back seats will be used to playing on them. And really, who would really want to trust iTunes with their engine controls?
Time to drag out the serious tools. Under the "Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (2000, c. 17)" http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/P-24.501 there must be a way to seize their assets. There's no end of evidence that "sex, drugs, and rock and roll" are fellow travellers, so it is reasonable to presume that drug trafficing has been instrumental (at least peripherally) to their business. With the reverse onus, it then becomes their job to prove it wasn't if they want the presumed proceeds back. That could include most of their catalogues...
I wonder, did PennyTalk, OoVoo, Line2, and Google Talk all pick up more traffic while this was down?
I see that Fring.com jumped on the chance to connect stranded travellers in European airports during the Skype outage with a free service credit. Brilliant market play that costs them next to nothing to execute. Even slicker, the signup gets the new users' tweeting right off the bat.
Fair Use is, in fact, a product of the US Constitution....
Rights enshrined in the Constitution do not enforce themselves.
Some constitutional rights are so well-established that they seem to enforce themselves...
There are of course vast temporal and geographic inequities. For Alaskans in January, the right to bare arms is at most aspirational! ~~~~
This is obviously a stunt to show off their process controls in production. They're telling the competition (and investors) that they can make an entire 12 inch wafer worth (40) of their 21 megapixel sensors without a defect anywhere on the wafer. Of course it'll be an expensive wafer, and they haven't said how many other wafers were rejected, but it's still impressive. It marks pretty much the ultimate maturity level for that production process and tells their competition, "You won't beat us on price for this geometry, go try something else."
The only applications for something like this are wide-field low-light surveillance (e.g. for asteroid hunting).
Funny you should mention Nazis. The Germans figured out how to solve recycling years ago. Eliminate the single-use packaging by requiring the manufacturers take packaging back from the retailers. Think the Chinese manufacturers want to pay Maersk to bring all those idiotic hard plastic "anti-theft" packages and corrogated boxes back from Walmart? Consumers can effectively implement the same rules on their own initiative. If you don't want to recycle things yourself, just tell the clerk at the checkout counter to "keep the excessive packaging". "Oh, I'm sorry, Sam, does that slow down your pace of sales?" At least it will mean somebody's going to be making a living off of the transaction.
Einstein's Nobel was for his work on the photoelectric effect. As in "solar cells". That whole relativity thing was kind of interesting though, and it did get us to fission power. So one way or the other your monkeys can actually turn their plasma TV sets on to watch themselves without burning down their jungle.
They could have built a drone, but no, they just had to put a human in it to limit endurance and increase weight. With thinking like this the collective will never get started...
1. Paper is nearly a CO2-neutral renewable fuel. How many LOC must one burn to provide the necessary energy to lift one GreatLakesMass of high-pressure steam to a Lagrange orbit?
2. What part of this energy can be reclaimed in turbines as that mass falls from Lagrange to the lunar surface?
3. As the water level drops, real estate developers will buy and sell new "waterfront" many times. What surcharge per-acre will support the purchase of a replacement LOC?

Whew! At first, I thought you were about to make unlicensed mention of iDeasTM. Glad you deleted that!

You do realize your monitor comes with a brightness control, right?

It seems Silverpop's "Permission based marketing" may come back to bite them. Just a wild guess, but could sending out a billion or so emails, tweets, facebook posts, etc possibly make you a preferred target for blackhats? And why do I think your personal data is coming soon to a Wikileaks mirror near you? http://spectrum.ieee.org/riskfactor/telecom/internet/mcdonalds-data-breach-supersized http://www.silverpop.com/blogs/email-marketing/
