Texas is hardly the only place in the US that has horizontal traffic lights. As for "a large percentage of the population," well, I'd hardly say that 1.30% covers that.
Top = stop, bottom = go. Or Left = stop, bottom = go. Even if you can't distinguish the colours, the positions work just fine.
Really, the only way to possibly enjoy this film will be to go in with absolutely no expectations at all.
That's hardly sounding like a recommendation. Why should I or anyone else waste their time and money on this, if there's nothing to fulfull our expectations? This was specifically made to market to people with memories of the show, otherwise it would be some other flick and not "Speed Racer."
Not to mention the fact that Anime tend towards trying to make animation as real as possible
Not quite. "Anime" means animation from Japan, which covers all sorts of genres and styles. Last time I checked, "Pani Poni Dash" was hardly even trying to be "as real as possible."
As for this "Speed Racer" movie, I have no intention of wasting my time or money on it.
We have that in Ontario: the rating also includes other language giving descriptions of what it contains. For instance, Helen Hunt's "Then She Found Me" has a 14A rating with 'Coarse language, mature theme, sexual content' advisory beside it.
Two Canadian bookstores have been fighting Customs for decades against unlawful seizure of materials and discriminant enforcement of "obscenity" laws. One has given up the fight, the other went bankrupt trying to fight. Granted, they are smaller, independent and primarily gay-focussed, but sometimes Big Brother wins simply my attrition and deeper pockets.
Nope. Steve & co. aren't worried in the slightest, and licensing Mac OS X will never happen. The profit on the hardware allows for all the R&D on the software and other "cool stuff" that Apple does.
They licensed out MacOS 7 back in the 90s and it was a total disaster for them, which is why it'll never happen again.
You know what they say about people who are ignorant of history.
Not really, the clones did a little too well for Apple's liking: the original idea was to grow the overall MacOS market, but all that happened was the clones ate away Apple's sales. Bad news for Apple, which is the reason the clones were killed.
At the time, if there was only a market for 100 MacOS-running machines sales a week, Apple is better of getting all 100 of them and not 70 while the clone makers take 30.
You're forgetting a *very* important thing: Canadian elections (Federal or Provincial) generally involve voting for a single candidate on a single ballot. It's far, far simpler than US elections.
Based on my limited knowledge of US elections, it's really not that simple. On voting day, you're not simply voting for a single candidate for President: there'll be Representatives, Senators, different local Propositions & elected officals, etc.
Now come up with a single program that can handle 50+ variations and report them in a consistent, repeatable, and more importantly hacker-proof & redundant manner.
Buying patterns for digital downloads are different, as customers are far more likely to cherry pick a favorite track or two from an album than purchase the whole thing
Isn't that the whole figgin' point? If you know there's only 1 or 2 tracks you want from an album, the absence of cheap singles like back in the vinyl days makes digital the clear winner.
CD singles were a joke: when albums were $8.99, a 45 was $1 to $1.49, and gave you the hit and generally a non-album B-side. When a CD album is $15.99, that $5.99 CD "single" is a rip-off.
Yeah, there's a 5 User Family Pack for OS X retail releases; Amazon has it forUS$179, while a single-user license runs US$109.
Of course, with no serial numbers or activations, you *could* just buy the single-user and install it as many times as you want on as many machines as you want, but it's nice that Apple gives the option for folks who want to obey the EULA.

I believe you mean "aesthetically" pleasing, which if done well improves usability.

Umberto Eco takes McLuhan to task very nicely for that stupid phrase. The Medium is the channel for the Message, not the message itself.

Australia uses dollars, dumbass.
...is you're fired.
Who cares how "stupid" one looks in a darkened theatre, with all eyes looking at the screen?
Not a rickroll, a S-A-W parody by Morris Minor and the Majors.
Bonus video! :)

Left: government-mandated redistribution of wealth.

Right: corporate-mandated redistribution of illth
CDs cost too much! Down with the RIAA! I only use 8-tracks you inensitive clod!
There's a hole in my bucket, you insensitive clod, you insensitive clod!

Hey, the RCMP only get called if Officer Gord can't take care of it!
And have you read the contract your indie DSL ISP has with Bell? Doubtful.
Even without the internet, people have been hating Apple for decades. Usenet and forums just made it easier for them to spew their opinions about.
Blind devotion to *anything* is questionable.
Nah, the real artists are in the studio, creating art. At home there's too many distractions! :)
