It's still a delay and an opportunity for the telecom companies to lobby and have it shot down.
Labour Party, hah. More like Sleeping-on-the-job party. They need to drink more tea or switch to coffee.*
* Reference to the leader of the party, Job Cohen, who once said he'd rather drink tea with the parents of the Moroccan kids who were (and are) a nuisance in Amsterdam, where he was mayor, than to actually do something about them. That phrase is haunting him.
I haven't watched anything SF since Battlestar Galactica. Didn't bother with Caprica, especially after that crap ending BSG had.
But there are thousands of SF books.. I'm currently reading Peter F. Hamilton's The Neutronium Alchemist, part two in the Night's Dawn trilogy. Not by any means a recent book, but that doesn't matter... it's a good book/trilogy so far. I'll buy Hamilton's Void trilogy books too, I think.
There are head injuries in soccer as well, not because of heading the ball (though accidentally being in the way of a shot can cause concussions) but because of clashing heads.
BTW, the former president of the FIA, Max Mosley, had a row last year with virtually all F1 teams over a proposed budget cap, which would be limited to 40 million dollar, more than half of the biggest F1 teams, who are operating on a budget of about 120 million, if not more. He resigned later that year.
And rightly so, IMO. He was --is-- a dictator. But that's beyond the current topic.
Was this an attempt to control the cost of racing? The staffing alone must cost a bajazillion dollars on a competitive team, does limiting the engine count make a serious difference?
Honestly, I think it isn't amounting to much. Currently the F1 season is on summer break (another "cost-cutting" measure) for a whopping 2 weeks.
Formula 1 will always be an expensive sport, and rightly so. Bad economy or not.
This is actually wrong. Many modern racing groups have penalties for using replacement engines, [...]
This is correct -- in Formula 1, the pinnacle of open-wheel auto racing, you are limited to 8 engines per driver per season. This has been in place since the 2009 season.
And while not relevant to this discussion, the World Championship motorcycling (MotoGP) has similar rules as well.
Why is Planetes spelled as two words? Cause it's not. It's Greek (ever guessed why they used Greek letters in the title sequence?) for "planets" or (loosely) "wanderers".

I've been using the 64-bit Flash for Linux for a while now. Up until a few weeks ago Flash would always crash on me after playing a video and closing the tab or going to another page, and I always had to kill the whole browser.

The real question should of course have been 'Abort, Retry, Fail?'

He could also be referring to this.
TMI *shudder*
They exist already. I know of at least one pub that had LCD screens above the urinals.
Why not create embryos without any junk DNA and add special DNA in them so that unremovable barcodes appear on their necks?
Mod parent up.

You do know Mio-chan is fictional, right?
Though the seiyuu's are not :)
uh, was SafeSearch not enough? It's on by default.
This reeks of censorship -- they should have an option next to the box to turn it off, like they had previously.
Uh, no. Those girls are probably relieved they got away with a 2000 SEK fine. If it had been, say, $500, they would be less happy about it.
I think the post above was intended for this article...
Well, thanks. Twitter, for me, is some sort of text-only IRC. It's a relaxed way of keeping in contact with friends and getting updates.

The players might as well be robots.
Wrong. The players on the field are the biggest variables.
Not answering your question, but I know of one using it and it's annoying when I get a tweet about some dumb "ousting" as mayor or something.
I think I'd like Latitude much better.
Actually, I think I'll take a 'Tactical Nuclear Strike' button instead, now that I think of it.
And a Tactical Nuclear Pinguin to go along with it?
Well, it's stable. What do you expect? Use testing or lenny-backports if you want 3.5.

If you had followed the story in the dryboard pictures, the misspelling was intentional.
