So the real issue is that, as usual, the cabbies don't want to go to Brooklyn (cause that's where all the hipsters likely to use this app live).
I wonder if the conflict of interest is with "black" car livery service? They can't pick up hails (don't know if that changed, it was always reserved for medallion carrying "yellow" cabs), but this might enable them to if an app "requests" their services.
It really depends on the suburb. The older ones tend to be more walkable and have things going on (along with a real downtown area). The stereotypical and HOA infested new ones are boring and sterile and require a car to get anywhere... including out of the subdivision.
Option 2 if you don't trust Brother printers: Find an old networked HP Laserjet for cheap. They go for very little and require little to keep running. Parts support is excellent if they do break. The toner and common service items (fuser, rollers, etc.) are cheap too.
The early Stylewriters and the Canon Bubblejets they were based on, were great printers. They usually worked right, and the ink wasn't expensive. A friend used a Canon BJ-200e for years until they needed to print in color.
Some states in the US have phased in 3M's security sheeting. There is a helix printed down the middle of the plate in the reflective base. It also helps that one can only get "official" plates from their state or province. No one else is allowed to make them, unlike in the UK. There are reproduction plates, but they are quite lousy looking and obviously fake. They usually screw up the sheeting or the dies used to make the numbers/letters are different.
A similar situation exists here in the US. Just about everyone from China seems to ship items here cheaply or free. It would cost me more to mail it back then the original purchase price! If the item arrives broken, they usually just refund your money and tell you to keep it. I suspect China subsidizes parcel shipments overseas.
It likely used a wire sending a speedometer pulse signal from the instrument cluster (usually a sine wave). The same signal is used for cruise control. No CAN-BUS needed.
I wouldn't be surprised. Sedo always gave me the impression they are a seedy operation to begin with. Rumored domain frontrunning via sister division 1&1's whois search is one of them.
If that were the case, many HDTV manufacturers would be in trouble. They don't seem to stock parts. If it breaks just outside of warranty, you usually have to buy a new one since it can't be fixed.
Emissions related parts only include things like the catalytic converter, o2 sensors (usually generic Bosch part with car specific harness), etc. No car company is going to produce things like interior trim, door weather stripping, major body parts, etc. for 20 years.
Except its a myth that car companies have to stock replacement parts for 20 years (or any length of time). That is what aftermarket parts manufacturers and junkyards are for.
Just about every mortgage broker will sell the loan to a big bank within a month. In an extreme case, a friend of mine had his mortgage switch between 4 banks within a month and a half after closing on the house.
I have a boxful of tapes of stuff recorded off of HBO, Showtime and Cinimax HD. HD movie storage and recording before Bluray was around.... but you have to rewind after watching.
I'm still trying to figure out what happened to Caldera. They used to have a their own Linux distribution and tried to make it user friendly with the Looking Glass Desktop. They even ported Sun's WABI to x86 Linux. Back in 1997, they were pretty much viewed as a Linux company. Groklaw did a nice piece about it: http://www.groklaw.net/articlebasic.php?story=20080807125817699
Another issue with the ads is the depiction of the "Genius". They don't do training like depicted in the ad, their position in the stores is strictly tech support.
I'm sure the residents of Hicksville, NY will say otherwise. Cost of living isn't cheap and there is plenty to do nearby. If not, NYC is a short train ride away.
It likely gets the same reception here by students. Sadly that type of education is lacking in the USA. Plenty of folks graduate with a 4 year degree from university and don't know basic accounting or how to formulate a household budget. So we get plenty of people in debt instead.
Algebra for me was nothing more then a prerequisite for higher level math courses. What I learned later on is that its easier to solve some problems using Calculus (differentials mainly) then to solve it using Algebra. Heck my Algebra 2 textbook from high school had a sidebar example of how to solve certain problems with Calculus that was clearly easier then the page worth of work we were supposed to learn in that lesson.

Too bad Saul Bass is dead. His work was timeless.

Would be nice if the retail versions offered a way to deactivate the copy of Windows to make loading it onto a replacement machine painless.

How well does it run Windows 7 with Boot Camp?

Why reinvent the wheel? JVC made Digital VHS a reality.... back in 1998! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-VHS

ME was more of a holdover release until XP came out. 2000 was never marketed to home users.
Why did you have to go through security again, after the flight? Unless you mean US Customs inspection, but they aren't looking for box cutters.

Its already happening. Fake Commodore SID chips are common.

Where I live, any legal adult can become a notary. They just have to take an oath, no math required.
