You push an oar through water. On each side of the oar there are 2 eddy currents, one clockwise, the other anti-clockwise. Now remove the oar and just look at the currents. You can determine that the force that created them was moving linearly, as the sum of the momentums of each eddy current = 0.
If you were to see a pattern where the sum of eddy currents was uneven, with a bias to the left or right, then you can determine that the action that created them was itself spinning in that direction at the time it created them.
This is what is happening here. You are not looking at the sum of momentums in a static system, but a dynamic one.
They should have done it with white text on a white background, so that you couldn't see it through the e-nvelope. Only once you open the email and highlight or copy/paste the details will it become readable.
What if they have cameras at the toll station, that takes a picture through the front windscreen as you drive through.
When has "Sitting in your Car" been a private place? How is this invasion of privacy?
Do you really thing the camera will be on 100% of the time, transmitting live feed 24/7?
How long do you think the battery will last? Transponder living in your glove box, covered in black tape or turned facing the wrong way totally invalidates this function with little or no difficulty.
With so many Opt-out options, why do you get so worked up?
This very likely is, as many posters above, for detecting if people have a passenger with them, in order to take advantage of toll-free for car pooling.
Why is a transponder even needed? How come you can't just do like on the M50 in Ireland, where they just read the license plates as they drive along and send them the bill? (Automatically paid if you are registered with them)
I absolutely hated how, in Mass Effect 2, when you came to an area and saw a couple of likely cover areas, you knew right away that mobs were about to appear. I would love to see these mobs popping in from nowhere tbh.

I most certainly have better things to be doing than checking bnet every few hours. My email, for example. I got my Cataclysm beta invite in my inbox, my WotLK invite too. Both were authentic. Now I still don't know if the links were right, only an idiot clicks on the links, but checking your inbox, just for the prompt to check bnet is definitely worthwhile.
They only do this for WoW, so areas are not clogged with people all doing the same quests. D3 is not like that. The only reason why they might not release them all at the same time it to stop their servers being trashed by people downloading the game. With the download being peer-to-peer (optional) I don't really see this as being an issue either.
They don't need to stress-test their servers, so they won't need to increase the numbers to breaking point. That's why the F&F alpha/beta was so short too.
If there were to be a cross, then it would either happen in Star Wars' far far future, or Star Trek's far far past. All the above posts about who would beat who are irrelevant and also any possibility of any characters confronting each other.
Star Trek, due to having so much more media under its belt, could easily dream up some scenario to suit its pleasures, likely involving Q to have some cross-over. Star Wars, on the other hand has no history of demi-gods or time travelling in its expanded universe.
Also, the Borg wouldn't assimilate Jar-Jar, he has nothing of value to add to the collective.

I like to smoke a fag to destress. I feel positively gay afterwards.

I C what you did there.

That's how I send all my private messages anyway
But still you can't play the campaign in co-op. This is just going to be like Rage.
Nothing to stop someone playing an MMO in first person perspective.
I read that as "There's also no such thing as circumcision proof". Almost spat out my coffee.

What would happen if the power levels were over say, 9000?
That explains it, neutrinos ignore leap years.
Waitaminute! How did they shine the light through then?
I even had my, "Who didn't see this coming?" comment prepared and ready.
Gizmag is wrong, but not in the way you think. The sail is 38m in width, 1444m^2 area or 15,542.6089sq.ft
They don't have to win cases. They just need enough people to be afraid that they pay up without a fight and never take it to court.
You deduced its pending arrival by virtue of it having arrived.
I hear they wash up on Jersey Shore.
The old version, involving an axe, was getting stale.
*Spoiler* And even there, it didn't work. The war was taken to 'The Real' when one side felt they couldn't win in the simulation.
Must be a typo in a memo somewhere.
