You know the minimum separation between a bicycle and a car in Toronto? It used to be three feet, now it's a meter. I challenge you to count how many cars respect that distance, and if you have any honesty come back and re-state your "number of cyclists who break the laws vs motorists" statements.
For those who do not live in Toronto here's the short of it: essentially no car whatsoever respects the minimum separation distance. This places motorists breaking the laws at 10-50x those of cyclists.
That's a highly subjective judgement and likely to depend a lot on the search terms.
Yes, still it is done all the time, and quite effectively. For example, I can search for "TheRaven64" and either I should get your homepage or a very explainable alternate result e.g. your homepage is hidden behind "TheRaven64" Hollywood movie.
We had lots of tests like that, and Google would produce the "right answer" (TM) among the top 3 while Altavista often had the correct answer in position 30 or 40.
Until Google moved away from MapReduce, their results also lagged a long time behind.
Both were laggy, but again there are searches that help you determine the size of the crawl e.g. search for a misspelling, and see how many matches you get.
As I said, I used to do this for a living as part of my SE job.
Open Text was the first company that indexed the entire web. They were the search engine behind the Yahoo search button. Open Text used Alpha 64 servers and was at the time one of the largest DEC customers in dollar terms. They were repaid by DEC launching Altavista in direct competition.
Shortly after Altavista started using a large custom machine with an unthinkable 4GB of main memory and Open Text started withdrawing from the SE market.
This is not true. I've worked in the Search Engine space since 1995, and at all times Google's result were superior to Altavista. Not only was the Google ranking algorithm superior, the Altavista crawl fell way behind the Google crawl, so often the page you were looking for wasn't even in the Altavista index.
Socialism means that the factories (means of production) belong to the state. This is not the case in Denmark, so your use of the word socialism is ignorant and incorrect.
In fact some of them are, but revenues from sale of federal rights are ridiculously low, thanks to lobbying groups. In other words, if you are unhappy complain to your house representative and ask them to increase federal land rights.
They are royalties for resources held in the ground which are government property, not free money. Who else has a better claim to it, than the owners of the land, i.e., the people.
We paid for it when purchased under President Johnson, at the behest of Seward.
I can. It involves taking momentary control of a router upstream from you. First I need to find a non-secured router (i.e not running secure BGP and allowing arbitrary BGP updates), spoof a hole in the BGP table using a/30 routing prefix containing the purported sender during transmission, then revert to original configuration.
Religious private schools (which is the closest we have to comparable to public education) is $6K per year. Illegal immigrants tend to have smaller families, so lets say $12K a year. So you are off by a factor of 3. Lastly schools are financed mostly out of property taxes, which everyone pays equally, legal and illegal residents alike.
The fact that you compare someone coming here to work with "taking your wife, taking your life" means that yes, you are a racist. Congratulations, you can pass go and collect your KKK badge.
Nope, they get money for the kid who is an American citizen. That's the kids money, not the parents, and no, no one forgets this. If it weren't for children's programs illegal aliens essentially collect zero dollars in welfare.
They are not people. They are illegal aliens (from another planet I guess) who come here to steal our jobs (does anyone hold certificate of ownership to a job? because if you don't then it cannot be "stolen" from you) and rape our children (even though their incarceration rate outside of immigration offenses [duh!] is lower than the general population).
The savings in entitlement expenses would more than compensate
[citation needed]
In fact I'll save you the trouble, people have studied this and found the exact opposite. Illegal immigrants can access few entitlements yet pay many taxes, so they are usually net contributors.
Do they mean by deep bench "we can replace any of our lackluster, mediocre candidates by another equally untalented, saying equally thoughtless platitudes, to the delight of the unthinking GOP base"?
There are two working definition for curing AIDS. One is the virus is gone, the second is you will die of something else. Both are valid and reasonable. We have cured AIDS according to the second one, but not yet the first one.

The number was never publicly acknowledged, though the rumor was indeed $12M. Many years later the COO said it was actually $3M.
I thought in Marxist theory the workers' surplus labour created this added value, which capitalists took as profits?
Exactly which ignores that value can be created through trade, capital allocation and scientific inventions. In his world a rich person has money solely because s/he "stole" surplus value from workers.
In other words, capitalism allows for the creation of wealth in two forms: rent-seeking and creation of value. Marx correctly identified rent-seeking as an indefensible form of profit extraction and set out to vanish the entire system around it, including capital allocation and labor incentives, which are two valuable things about capitalism.
Interestingly enough there are many capitalist countries in the world (mostly underdeveloped nations) where value creation is essentially nil and all capital is derived from rent-seeking activities.
The current republican party is a strong proponent of rent-seeking activities (e.g. no minimum wage, pro-industry subsidies and monopolies) and anti-wealth creation (e.g. no government investment in research or infrastructure). This places the country on the path to Third World status, as a quick drive through highways in New Jersey and the rest of the North East shows.
I've been doing software development over many years and in many capacities. One of the hard earned lessons from that is: always use text logs and configuration files in some type of XML-like extensible tag format. If space gets to be an issue, archive old logs using a standard compression package.
Every time I made this choice programmers would complain about the waste of space, until the first real big crash happened, everything was unusable, yet the logs could still be grep'ed and the error easily found. This is the first time they would see the benefits.
The second was when new fields were added, yet the old log libraries still worked. They would simply not read the unknown tags but could still process known ones.
Contrary to what the article says VCs and employees are very much aware that 1-in-100 startups make it and the rest don't. VCs invest in 100 companies to mitigate the risk, developers keep an eye in other companies in the valley that seem to be well in their way to IPO and switch over. A ton of my friends moved to Facebook and Twitter about a year or two before IPO.

Someone should try this in a hypothetical city and call it Seattle, at some time in the future which we shall term 1973. Then run the experiment for nearly 40 years until a time which we should call 2012 when it will be found to have no net effect on ridership.
Since this would be little known, at that point we shall create some information repository which we would call "Wikipedia" so people can look up answers to questions like this before bothering the entire/. readership.
Except that during the period of leftist revolutions all over the world AI doggedly pursued and questioned the actions pro-Western government armies while having a written policy of not criticizing the guerrilla actions. This asymmetric prosecution of human right crimes was only changed after the end of the cold war.

I'm saying if I can give you a meter of room I will, except normally there is no way to do that, so I don't have a choice.
You have a choice, which is not passing. As the GP post said, double standard.
This meter passing rule is just an abuse of the power cyclists have over big cities,
Somebody call a whambulance, baby in 2000 pound car is afraid of big mean 20 pound bicycle.

No, value can be created, something that Marxist theory conveniently ignores, just like you did above.
