Yes, such a money sink that the loony right wing government in the UK is *desperate* to stop Scotland becoming independant, and keeping all the wealth up here.
Sorry Maggie^WTony^WDavid, we're keeping the oil, and we're keeping the tax revenue. You'll have to pay for your own moat-cleaning now.
Well, as another poster has pointed out the Dodge Dart is really just a Fiat with different badges - and that in turn is really just an Alfa-Romeo with a smaller engine.
There is a Ford Fusion sold over here that is basically just a Fiesta with a slightly higher roof. The new Fusion looks like a tarted-up Focus, and again comes with a range of shit engines. It's ugly, and (unless they alter it for the UK/EU market) it doesn't come with a diesel so it's going to be slow and gutless.
They are both utterly pointless cars. They look like they ought to be fast and powerful, but they're not.
You know those funny little Citroen (dear/. janitors, please fix your bloody character encodings) 2CVs? With the little two-cylinder engines?
Yes, the little two-cylinder engine that produced around 60bhp/litre in its final form in the late 1970s. The little two-cylinder engine with alloy heads, pistons and crank-case (the prototypes were magnesium but that was too expensive) and drop-forged crank, borrowing heavily from fighter aircraft engines of the day. And then that engine, fitted into a body designed to protect the occupants in an accident - it was the first car designed so that the engine would break off its mountings and slide under the floor in a front impact, rather than back through the bulkhead and into the front seat occupant's legs.
Back in the 70s they could do well over 60mpg at safe motorway speeds. The French *can* make cars, and they make them better than Americans.
Here's a hint, America - no-one wants to buy your heavy, slow, ugly gutless V8s. They suck.
Sorry, at what point am I blaming the Jews there? If you actually *read* rather than attempting to Godwin things, you'll see that I'm blaming right-wing Tory journalists.
Maybe you can get some medication for that jerking knee.
It is highly likely that the only "Muslim" offended by this is the slavering madman that resembles this guy that exists only in the mind of some fat white shiny-trousered journalist in SW1W 0DT.
What makes you think the goal is making Linux a "mainstream" desktop? Windows is perfect as the mainstream desktop - it lets the non-technical masses post pictures of fluffy puppies to all their friends on the fashionable social media site of the month, and indulge in rambling flame wars about the relative merits of "Cool Ranch Flavour" versus "Nacho Cheese Flavour" on their favourite World of Cornchips forum, and maybe play some fun little games. The rest of us are happy with our non-mainstream OSes that we use to get real work done.
Can you imagine if OSes were like vehicles? Of course, it's okay for *me* to drive a 32-tonne truck to the shops for my morning paper, but can you imagine if *everyone* did it? Madness...
The really neat thing about the 6809 is the auto-increment index registers, and having two stacks. It's like it was purpose-designed for running Forth.
Maybe we should try Switzerland, murder rate 0.7 per 100,00, Yet gun owership rate is 45.7 per 100 people vs 88 per 100 in the US. Gun ownership over 50% of the US, yet murder rate only about 14% of the US.
Aha, but in Switzerland, if you have a gun it's most likely because you got to keep it after your compulsory military service. So, gun ownership is strongly correlated with gun training, not "I want a gun, I'm going to the supermarket".
Yes indeed. For the Americans (and other humour-impaired), over here you can pretty much run what you like as long as you're within band and not making a nuisance of yourself.
On the UK mainland alone, over the past 40 years there have been a couple of hundred attacks by Irish republicans - and that doesn't count attacks by loyalists, which tend not to be on the mainland.
How many attacks by radical Muslims? One, and the people who did it are all dead - the upside of suicide bombings is that people tend to only carry out one.
Another thing that stands out: if you overlay a map showing areas with higher incidence of violent crime with one showing lead contamination, there's a strikingly high correlation."
There's probably a strong correlation with a lot of things, like population density. I bet if you look around where I live, you'll find very little lead, very few violent crimes, and very few people.
I live in a fairly out-in-the-sticks part of Scotland (it's about a mile to the nearest village, and 15 miles or so to the nearest city), and I grew up in a very remote part. Even so, drinking and driving was really just not something you did, at all.
It does surprised me how much drunk driving is seen as "okay" in the US. Obviously it's not actually "okay" but people seem to be a lot more casual about it.
Try searching for datasheets for old but relatively common chips. The first couple of pages will be full of stuff like "alldatasheet.com", "datasheet4u.com" "datasheetarchive.com" which all want you to click through about four or five pages of advert-heavy "Other pages people have searched for:" lists before eventually offering you a download for a toolbar to let you download a pdf of the datasheet, presumably scraped from some other site.

I would have thought that "the grey place" would be Aberdeen, the Granite City.
Glasgow is known as "the Dear Green Place", and if you look at it on Google Earth you'll see why.

Right, because you were trying to make their life harder and more expensive.
Cheques are too expensive and fiddly to deal with.

It's true! <These> kill more children each year than pedophiles, so let's ban those!
To be fair, I don't think foot fetishists kill many children at all. It's kind of not their thing.
That was the great thing about the 68000 (and the PDP-11 family, too) - it was almost impossible *not* to write position-independent code ;-)
... ever getting on the mainstream desktop.

Why not pump the water out of the mines with the excess electricity, and use the water flowing back in to run the turbines?

Yes indeed. For the Americans (and other humour-impaired), over here you can pretty much run what you like as long as you're within band and not making a nuisance of yourself.
Now, back to 50kHz-wide 32kbps data!
I'll use any digital codec I want, and the FCC can't do anything about it.

Exactly. A cheaper and simpler technique than a "smart" ice cube is not to be such a screaming pisswizard in the first place.
Well, kind of, but we're not spying on American republicans, are we? Hmm, maybe...

Obviously, cows reduce violent crime.

Would you like to revise your original statement?
Okay, old and once-common but not so ridiculously common as to merit their own Wikipedia page.
