Depends on how long spring takes to finally break, but they start filling them about the same time it's safe to plant. It's no more than 2 months from when they start appearing, and significantly less than that from the time they get bad. Obviously it depends on how bad the winter is; with the lack of winter we had this year, they got dealt with immediately. Last year took longer because the road crews got diverted to deal with flooding.
You clearly haven't spent too much time thinking about the fubared US patent system. It's not putting the gravel in a bag that's novel, it's "putting a gravel filled bag in a pothole" or "choosing a material to put in a bag in a pothole based on $CRITERIA." You could get successive patents on it until you die!
Sounds like this needs to become a campaign issue in your area. Around here (Twin Cities, MN) we usually get a bunch of potholes during the spring melt, and about a month after the melt is done they're all fixed. It's definitely not an intractable problem.
I believe the difference is in the value of $DURABLE, since the GP only says it "lasts long enough to get you through a winter hot plant shutdown." That's all the material under discussion would be good for either.
Why is it that nobody gives a shit about the lack of male teachers?
There are plenty of people who do. You just don't see it on/. because it's not really news for nerds. Seriously, does nobody do a simple search before the spout off these ridiculous examples?
Seriously, did you even think about Googling that before you wrote it? There are pages of scholarships for men in nursing school, and for exactly the same reason. This is a Good Thing.
However, you neglect to factor in things like maintenance. Don't forget the fact that electric vehicles are typically lacking in things like air filters, oil filters, etc. Maintenance for the late EV-1 was "rotate the tires and top off the wiper fluid". How much would you save if you didn't have to do all of the maintenance related to combustion engines?
That's a fair point, but since the general discussion here is about the Volt you do still have to account for maintenance of an ICE. Presumably it will require less maintenance than if it were the primary engine, but it's still there.
That only makes more sense if you think that the rest of the world will not be able to transition away from coal/oil in a meaningful way until after the Mideast runs out. If you think they have enough capacity to last until demand drops significantly, it makes more sense to use our stuff now and buy from them when it's cheap. Of course, in actual practice we do a bit of both so as to hedge our bets.
One thing to remember is that you're trying to confound multiple types of attacks. Replacing characters doesn't help against dictionary attacks, so I'm not sure why GP brought it up here, but it does complicate shoulder surfing.
If I've learned anything from the RIAA et al, that scarcity is what defines a work's value, not anything intrinsic to it. Therefore, by hoarding the now precious encyclopedias, I will establish myself as king in the wasteland!
2. Correct, though from the only tests I heard of in the past none damaged the patient in an unexpected way.
I don't believe that anyone from this particular set of studies was harmed, but I do remember reading about about someone from a previous modified t-cell study where they completed eliminated the cancer cells, but the cell marker was also present on their lungs, so they eliminated those as well with predictable results. Mentioned here.
That's what phase one trials are for, of course, and it sounds like exactly the sort of problem that the work in TFA is trying to address. So, progress.
Bill gates is an asshole; all the charity work in the world doesn't change that. That doesn't mean I'm not glad he's doing it, but since there are plenty of charities that are not run by assholes, his foundation is never going to be in the running for my money.
I don't find it surprising, because who would fight it? (Sister Sledge, obviously.) Artists are not generally known for being legally savvy (it's hardly necessary for their performance, after all), and the ones who are are generally either not represented by these labels, or don't think they have enough cash to fight. Such is the sad state of our legal system these days.

Firstly, the TSA is not a business.
See that's where you went wrong. The TSA shouldn't be a business. Also, I'd like a pony.

Hence the second quotation from elsewhere on the page. They always require an ID.

How exactly is security "not a function"? The locks on my car seem to function just fine at preventing trivial access to the interior.
Not that trunks provide much in the way of security, every sedan I've had gave you access to the trunk from the passenger compartment.
Because it's difficult to get Excel to run on Linux?
It's probably easier than paper, though. I find that using wine just makes it soggy and discolored.
Ninjas are universal.
1 out of 4 still doesn't cut it, though.
What about someone trying to figure out the end of a password they shoulder surfed? Seems like 100 tries would give them a pretty good shot.
Dwarvish? Wombat?

Wait you're telling me they have an Ion Cannon that makes PIE? These guys are marketing geniuses!
Who, exactly, was even able to afford EB's sets, year after year, or even one of the over 30 volumes from a set?
Libraries. I know it's hard to imagine, but there used to be a time when you had to leave the house to find reference materials!

I think the "prescient" was in reference to his knowing how the trial will end, the rest was just bad grammar. ;)

Woe be to the musician that signs with a label...
Oh, come on. At this point you're just torturing the poor guy.
