Just don't listen to the 2005 or later remasters, they've been compressed to shit. The 2001s are perfect. I still don't understand why or how they allowed the 2005s to exist.
Just about any time some fool here parrots the "Corporations are bound by law to increase shareholder value at all costs" crap, I ask for a citation of this law. No one's been able to do it yet.
Yep. My 1980 Honda's manual shows that US models had Pilot Screw limiter caps that had to be installed once a full tune-up was done, and they prevent the screws from being turned out to make the mixture richer. You can only turn them in to make it leaner. A lean bike will run a bit hotter, but these old 400cc engines were pretty cold to begin with.
(With my old telecommuter-friendly car, I also noticed that I consistently got about 10% worse mileage with winter gas than summer gas, though I'm not sure if my current car is as sensitive.)
How could your car get worse gas mileage if it never left the garage? Or do you have some new-fanged definition of telecommuting?
Second that opinion. I've always hated the stoopid motor-voter registration where they enroll voters when they attain or renew their drivers license. You should have to make the effort to GO somewhere and enroll.
And yet Microsoft still hasn't learned the important lessons: 1) when you announce your breakthrough product(s), it's available TODAY (or next week), and here's the PRICE. 2) You can go outside and play with it for 10 or 20 minutes right after this announcement.
What did we get from MS? "Here are two things we made, they won't be able to run the same programs, we're not going to really demo any of it, we won't tell you the price, we won't tell you when it's shipping, and none of you here get to play with it." It was a fucking amateur production from start to finish.
The 302 and 350 cubic inch V8s (5 & 5.7 litres respectively) were far more common than the 400s or 427s. Your point still stands IMO. Though the double-whammy of fuel prices and increased safety standards didn't help Detroit out either.
No voting mechanism is above abuse, but automated mechanisms offer the possibilty of abuse at scale, which is untenable. On election night, Canada counts 100% of their ballots *by hand*. There is abuse but it is localized and relatively easily identified.
Canada also only votes for one thing at a time. US election ballots can have dozens or more offices up for grabs, let alone Propositions and other local ballot measures. That, IMHO, is the first thing that should be changed about the US voting system: keep the Federal elections separate from everything else.
Agreedo. I don't understand why this is even an Ask Slashdot question, let alone something someone would ask in real life, as if it took more effort than organizing a TV or movie night and playing a few different things.
True. And I also thought that half of the RIAA's arguments were that when you bought a CD, you were buying a "license" to use that CD and that you didn't actually own the music on it anyway... or was that what Microsoft was saying about software? Something like that, anyway. So do we own it, or do we not?
Go buy an old LP, from the 70s let's say, and read the copyright/license statement. It's a limited personal use license. That's hasn't changed in decades.
Or the backgrounds are out of focus because they're unimportant and the cinematographer decided to use a lower depth of field to allow more light at a shorter focal distance.
The cheap-ass bamboo chopsticks have the best grip on the food, I've found. The trick is really getting the initial positioning, and then practice. Different types of food work better for us amateur types as well.

A dumpster? Man, I wish! Dumpster-brand trash bins are top-of-the-line. This is just a Trash-Co waste disposal unit.

Pretty soon we won't even have two boy scouts to rub together!
But Iran's so far away...

Why, exactly? They've already GONE somewhere.
If it was the subtitled version, it was definitely mono. The Disney dubbed release for DVD and BD was produced in 2.0.

I guess all those /jailbait pictures were fakes.

And just think: instead of that house, you could have bought Apple stock at the post-split equivalent price of $5, and sold it off when it hit $600.
Dude, awesome. :)
Formats sometimes become obsolete. I have VHS tapes with no way to play them anymore, anyone with old 8-tracks probably can't play them. .
You can still buy used VHS players and 8 Track players. They didn't suddenly all disappear off the face of the Earth when DVDs and CDs came out.

So what? Who did you vote for Senate, House, etc.? The President doesn't run the show himself.
The reason you can see (or at least notice) the individual frames is because they've cranked up the shutter speed, losing the natural motion blur.
Or you have freaky eyeballs. :)

Why the US?
Because the US is the biggest meddler in the region, plain and simple.
That was one of the worst summaries I've ever read on Slashdot.
