That seems to work well for the South Koreans. Except as a consequence they are overrun with ActiveX exploits. And don't say "I run $OS", Korean banks won't deal with you online if you don't run Windows and therefore can't accept ActiveX.
No-one's suggesting that anyone has a dark city. Just that you don't waste up to half the output from streetlights lighting up the sky. Better design of street lighting which focuses all the light to the lower 180 degrees would also mean one could use lower-power bulbs (for the same amount of light on the ground) and save money at the same time.
So, the U.S. President's house (White House), his motorcade, and Air Force One aren't paid for by taxes? Idiot. Every head of state, whether elected or hereditory, has expenses paid for by taxes.
The difference between a hereditory head of state is that the incumbent didn't want to be there, he/she has no choice, unlike the average money-grubbing politicion who just wants to be head of state so he/she can use their power for their own ends.
They certainly are still liable for all the busted Zunes, but I couldn't imagine Microsoft didn't have *some* C leap-year code sitting around that actually worked, and could be compiled for any chip they wanted.
A knot is a nautical mile per hour. The nautical mile is directly related to degrees latitude and longitude, which makes sense when travelling over the Earth's surface.
Been on a motorway lately? Notice how the junction signs tell you 2/3 miles to next junction, 1/3 mile to next junction? They are actually 1 Km and 1/2 Km distances. It's metrication by stealth. When they change over, all they have to do is put metric stickers over the distances.
Not entirely. I find the touchscreen on my Palm m505 quite efficient to use, thank you - provided I use the stylus provided. But I can make do with a fingernail tip if I'm too lazy to get the stylus out.
Parents who don't get their kids vaccinated put their kids at higher risk of getting those diseases.
Fixed that for you. The UK govt recommends MMR, but doesn't seem to understand the difference between a recommendation and a mandatory instruction. Three separate vaccinations would immunise the child just as effectively and probably stress the child's immune system less than MMR probably does, but for some strange reason the govt jumps up and down and stamps their feet when people want to do it the other way.

Aaaaand you believe everything Wikipedia says, right?
You can't have a dark city.

Sure, we have infinite sunshine, but we'll run out of silicon to replace that used in old circuitboards eventually.
You do know that silicon is made from sand, you know, the same stuff you find on every beach in the world?

Hello - how about carrying a torch?
A knot is a nautical mile per hour. The nautical mile is directly related to degrees latitude and longitude, which makes sense when travelling over the Earth's surface.

If they are going to be faithless anyway, they do not have to limit themselves to the major tickets. So they could vote for Jobs/Gates if they wanted.
Holy shit. And I thought Bush was a bad idea.
Teens... not used computer much before... Do you live in the same reality as the rest of us?
Touch computing fails in every way possible.

Try learning the difference between Ignorance and Stupidity. Hint: one of these can be fixed by education.
