I had a '69 Merc "woody wagon", where the wood sides were basically wood grained Contact paper. By the time I owned the car (in '76'), that plastic had become structural . . .
I hadn't even heard of before, but the linked Wiki article made it abundantly clear that misusing the Commerce Clause was indeed the rationale for the court's ruling - what part am I not getting?
No need to step away. The ruling was based on the interstate commerce laws - it does not give the gov't jurisdiction over ALL economic activity. And a fairly recent attempt to force another fit scenario - a federal ban on guns near school, 'cuz the gun was probably bought across state lines and because a dead student can't engage in interstate commerce - was struck down by the courts.
That is essentially what they do, in California at least. Limits are based on the 85% rule, the speed that 85% of the drivers don't exceed. That base speed can then be adjusted down, based on surroundings (e.g., hidden hazards or high accident rates). Traffic surveys (speed zone surveys) are regularly carried out, and radar tickets are only valid if the road was surveyed within the past 5 years. (Radar tickets can still be issued; it is up to the accursed to fight it.)
Yes, the caller pays for minutes at the same rate as he would to accept a call. But we don't pay extra to call a cell phone instead of a land line. And it isn't uncommon for cell to cell calls within the same carrier to be free.
But what's wrong with the recipient splitting the cost? Granted, sales calls are generally one sided. But if two friends want to yak it up for an hour - with both benefiting equally from the conversation - doesn't it make sense to split the cost?
Slightly off-topic, but I am working with a totally blind lady who uses a desktop. There are various screen reader programs out there, with the leaders being quite pricey. But Microsoft teamed up with the current owners of Window Eyes last year to allow a free installation of Window Eyes (full version) if you have a qualifying copy of Office installed. Qualifying copies include practically any version of 2010 or newer - see windoweyesforoffice.com for full details.
Minor quibble: the firing pin isn't held back, the trigger pull pressure is substantially dropped. Meaning that a light pull won't be enough to fire the gun unless you're on target. But a firm pull will fire it any time; and it will never fire unless the trigger is pulled.
$130? I've been getting legit OEM copies from Newegg for $99 with purchase of a mouse or keyboard. Paying $130 is insane and dumb for anyone that does not need the ability to join a domain.
To clarify, the $100 (yeah, $99.99) price is for Home Premium, which lacks the domain features. Win 7 Pro is $140, Ultimate is $190. But no hardware purchase requirements at all.
President Reagan was being transported to the ER within seconds of being shot; Diana had to wait for both response time and extraction time before treatment could commence. Just not comparable.
A bit more detail: the assembly included a rod (of an precise length) that was inserted into a socket which consisted of a ring that was welded or braised to something else. The fastening technique left a small amount of slag or solder around the inner edge of the ring, and so the rod was chamfered on one end so that it would clear the slag and seat fully in the socket.
Problem was, the rod was inserted upside down, with that attractively chamfered end sticking out. And the neatly cut business end ended up bottoming on the slag, resulting in a part that was precisely built but off by 1.3 mm.
When they eventually tracked down the problem, they were able to use the mis-aligned jig as a model for designing the corrective mirror that they eventually installed.
The deployment was below, not above the intended speed. Aerodynamic forces at mach 1.4 would prevent the feathering action, not so at roughly mach 1. In any case, it is to be expected that a test vehicle would allow the pilot greater latitude in control actions (even if such actions are hazardous) than in a production model.
That does sound like a pain. In the US it is a given that any reasonably large business will typically be open till 9:00 pm, and many smaller shops as well.
I do recall working at a privately held sporting goods shop back in the late '70s. We were pushed into opening on Sundays due to the competition doing so. None of us sold any more; we simply spread our week's sales over one extra day. But, as a consumer, I'm honestly willing to pay a bit extra at the register for the extra hours.

Dimming the part of the beam that would hit an oncoming driver is covered in the linked article.

Sure, after all, its not as if ping pong balls can be rigged.
Also, for horizontal lights: red on left, green on right. But watch out for Tipperary Hill!
OK, hot shot, you wanna tell us what that's about?
No, you don't drop in a replacement. You drop the car over the engine, not the other way around.

I had a cheap pair of joint snapping pliers. Instead of snapping, the joints would slip.
