If this happens to you you've already lost power braking so not much point in holding onto it. Why not turn it off? Losing power steering just means that it takes more effort to steer, not that the car can't be steered at all.
One second, wasn't warp pipe a small team of like 3 people that developed a little tunneling app to get Gamecube online? This is the whole team responsible for Nintendo's future online plans?
They're desperate for talent, I guess. I sent them a product registration postcard and they just named me CFO.
Well the thing that got me into law school was my LSAT, I'm like a savant when it comes to multiple choice tests, and considering that in this state the bar passage rate is over 70% I'm not too worried. If I lived in California I might be though, that's a nasty bar.
I really want to be successful so I'm invited to go back to my high school and deliver my "hard work and dedication is pointless" speech to the kids.
But it's still kind of funny. Like the pompous old guy sucking the fun out of this poor kid's life, then at the end the guy's estate tries to pull this "well sobriety is its own reward". The case would be a lot less funny if the kid lost, mind you.
Do you mean "older case" as in "case written entirely in Latin abbreviations," like "I. de S. and Wife v. W. de. S."?;)
Nah, I meant the cases from the 40's and 50's (back when everyone was supposedly square-jawed and self-sufficient). People would sue at the drop of a hat.
Yep, just looked it up. My property course focused almost exclusively on real property so I'm not surprised we didn't have it.
The best way to respond to those whiners here complaining about a supposedly overly litigious society is to somehow get them to read a torts book and check out some of the older cases.
I just did what I do for every law school class, wait until the end then cram like hell. Doesn't work as well as it did in HS or undergrad, unfortunately...
Property cases are fun as hell, though we didn't do Pierson.
I wish I could mod you +1: Correct. But can you cite the mackerel case?
People v. Aquaman. Actually I couldn't find it on westlaw, so it must not be as common as he thinks (or maybe he phrased it wrong).
Tonight is my busy reading night and I'd like to skim that one for some humor when I finish catching up in Contracts.;)
Come on, contracts cases are funny. Who couldn't find humor in Vickery v. Ritchie? Or Allegheny College v. National Chautauqua Bank of Jamestown? And my personal favorite, Hamer v. Sidway? That stuff is gold.
Meaningless? It applies to the judge's district. Which in this case is a hugely populated, and the political, cultural, and commercial capitol of the world. How exactly is this meaningless?
How many are there? I assume from your tone that you're not arguing from anecdotal evidence, but have concrete numbers about what you speak. Do you have any experience with the legal system, or is this just from sensationalist media stories, insurance company propaganda, and unsubstantiated "common knowledge" spread by people who really don' t know what they're talking about?
If, on the other hand, you were correct and this was just media FUD -- McDonalds would have just turned down the temperature in their coffee machines and everybody else would have checked their temperatures and made sure they were reasonable.
Newp. Then McDonald's would have lost money by having to freshen the coffee pitchers more frequently. They decided that they'd make more money in the end by just paying off the occasional first degree burn victim.
First of all, your implication that all lawsuits are frivolous is just stupid.
Suing someone costs money. A lot of money. Sometimes lawyers will work on contingency, but judges throw weak cases out all the time, and if you're a lawyer and you're willing to listen to every nutjob who thinks he has a case you're going to be broke real soon.

So, is the Operton more or less powerful than the Opteron?
Also, mandatory: imagine a Beowulf cluster of these.
Don't you mean Bewoulf?
If you ever hear or see someone put "virtuous" and "Miami" in the same sentence, you should probably be aware that they're not being serious.
Syllable be the one to do to Windows what Firefox has done to IE?
Completely fail on the marketplace against it you mean?
They should remake Voyage of the Mimi. No, I'm not being sarcastic, that game kicked so much ass.
Though probably way before most of the people's here time.
which is completely unimpeded by any legacy X-Windows foundations
Or legacy applications or games...
Nah, I'm just messing, I wish them luck. Maybe I'll try it out, I always had a thing for obscure OSes.
I did fine, too, because I live in Miami. We were completely spared all the hurricanes.
I think it's because we're such a virtuous city that God protected us.
Not especially relevant. Human beings weren't around 200 million years ago.
The question isn't what the planet can handle but what WE can handle.
"Uhh, sure it's a real bill, look, it has a picture of President Ulysses S. Specimen on it!"

Yeah, but at least it will be praised as better than the prequels...

So you're on the cutting edge of 3 months ago, good going...
Am I reading it wrong, or is the title of that Wired article (Google News: Beta Not Make Money) really bad grammar? Do they have editors over there?
Tarzan like job at wired but miss jungle.

The submission title and submission body say different things. Wouldn't it be cool if slashdot "editors" actually editted?

Jealousy. Investment bankers make so much more than programmers that it's funny.
