You do know that American Indians had advanced agriculture right?
Yes, but they didn't have anything that Europeans brought over. Like sugar, or honey, or alcohol, or wheat. Or horses, for that matter. My point is that the populations in North America at the time Europeans arrived did not have any descendants who had ever eaten anything that was brought over. Their bodies were simply not suited to digest and handle those foods, they never had to be.
That's because of genetics, not necessarily alcohol. The reason many native Americans are overweight is because for thousands of years they were living off the land, only eating what they grew or killed, etc. Then white guys show up with fried foods and alcohol and pizza and burgers and their metabolism just couldn't handle it, that's not what their bodies are designed for.
I know. That's today, with the F-18s Canada bought from the US. The Arrow is from the late 50s, what has Canada needed the Arrow for from the late 50s to the time they got their F-18s? Why would Canada be better off today if they had the Arrow?
According to TFA (weird, I know), DARPA specifically said they were not going to choose a rotary-wing design (even though one of the two finalists is).
Lockheed, the other finalist, does not have a rotary-wing design. They haven't released their design yet, but there are indications it is a ducted fan design.
Someone suggested that criticism of hydrogen stations was invalid because gas stations are not safe
Not really. They were just pointing out that even though hydrogen stations are potentially dangerous, so are gasoline stations. We've been living in harmony with gasoline stations, so there's no reason why hydrogen should be very different.
I'm not real sure what the point is. Are you alleging that hydrogen stations today are more dangerous than gasoline stations today?
The National Hydrogen Association claims 72 operational stations in the US and Canada. The first hydrogen station in North America was opened in 2000. Pharmacies in Germany started selling gas in 1888, the first purpose-built gas station was built in 1905. I can't find any statistics for the rate of fires at gas stations during the first 10 years they were around.
I did find this, though. That says that since January 2000, the same year the first hydrogen station opened in North America, that there were around 200 reported incidents of fires at gas stations started by static electricity alone (as opposed to open flames or running engines). So in the last 10 years we've had 1 incident at a hydrogen station, and over 200 incidents at gas stations caused by static alone.
I've always been curious as to exactly how the copyright holders expect the content providers to determine if any given piece of content is copyrighted or authorized. Is there an algorithm that can distinguish between an original copyrighted work and a fair-use derivative for audio or video?
Are you for real? You actually believe its the same cars stuck in there for 9 days and not just a traffic bottleneck being over reported?
I doubt cars have been stuck in there for all 9 days, but keep in mind that there are food and water vendors, which implies that cars are in fact stationary in the same place for an extended period.
Right, the main difference I saw was Vista vs Win7, w3schools has that at 2 to 1 for Win7, but in reality they're about the same (for now anyway, they're moving in opposite directions).
As an aside, if you're looking to hire a network contractor rather than an employee, take a look at networkservices.pro, one of my friends runs the place.
It did. It's currently only used by people who still feel compelled to point out that Microsoft is, in fact, a for-profit company. Just like $ony, or $am$ung, or Ni$$an.
I can understand that, speed doesn't matter for most people. I'm looking from a web developer's point of view, where some of the stuff I'm involved in really is so complex that it's possible to see some pretty big differences in speed. The most dramatic example would be comparing Opera 10.6 or the latest Chrome build to IE6, there are several orders of magnitude in Javascript execution speed between IE6 and the current state of the art.
But even then, the web sites that a normal person would visit aren't going to perform much differently, you would need to use a big application like Gmail or Google Maps to see much of a difference.

Glenn Beck is not religious. He's a money machine.
Those things aren't exactly mutually exclusive. Have you heard the term "mega-church"?
No, a real Australian would find a way to fit "cunt" into the sentence.
Darl McBride's new corporation, OCS, will buy all of the assets at auction for a fraction of the original cost
Hmm. I bet he sure wouldn't appreciate people bidding for the purpose of making him pay more.
You think "Asia's largest animation studio" uses games to do their animating, huh?

what is so different from a flying humvee from a Helicopter, other than an awkward design.
Well, for one, one of them can drive on a road.
Hell, it would be an improvement if the only people who used these were medics. Fly in, land, drive in to the wounded, load up, drive out, fly away.
The decepticons were also the military vehicles.
We would have been better off with the Avro Arrow
Better off than what? What has Canada needed an air force for over the last 50 years?
According to the concept art, it appears that the wings can rotate to trail the vehicle.

I was searching the comments to see if someone has already commented on exercizzzze... LOL
Thanks for the update, I was just wondering what you were doing.

You know what they say about statistics though.
And that's why gasoline stations blow up every day, right?
How many consecutive days have hydrogen stations exploded? What are we up to now, one?

There is no doubt a school could be built for less.
Were you tipped off by the fact that this is the most expensive public school?
There's Accessibility settings to allow for VoiceOver, Zoom, Large Text, Speaking auto corrections
Using zoom and large text for blind people is sort of like yelling at deaf people.

The stats at w3schools are biased toward technical people, so the numbers aren't necessarily representative. There's another version here:
http://marketshare.hitslink.com/os-market-share.aspx?qprid=11
That shows:
XP: 61.8%
Vista: 14.3%
Win7: 14.4%
OSX: ~4.3%
Other: 5%
Indeed, all of these contribute to why Google is able to develop their browser at a quicker pace than the competition.
