It's to deter petrol thievery (which is a very common crime at self service petrol stations)
In the US, such thievery is deterred very simply. Self-service pumps won't turn on unless you either a) run your credit card or debit card through it first to be charged for the gas or b) get it turned on by the attendant, which he won't do until you pay in advance. In case b), the pump turns off after you've pumped what you paid for.
Random capitalization. Inability to use apostrophes correctly. Confusing "lose" and "loose". Run-on sentences. Got your money's worth out of your university's English courses, didn't you?
Not quite. They were confirming that point, but that's already been shown. What they showed is that *people with higher levels of education are *more* influenced by their poitical leanings* because they use their additional knowledge to justify those leanings.
Analytic solutions are far superior to computed approximations. They are far easier to calculate--computers have made computed approximations far easier, but most of the time that doesn't mean that they're *easy*--only that they're now possible. Being able to obtain the answer in a small fraction of the time is still a big advantage. They are more precise and do not require initial parameters. And they provide much greater understanding and insight into the underlying phenomenon. There is no surprise at all that people are still looking for analytic solutions.
Better yet: this is not an application that requires microsecond precision--within a minute or two is fine, particularly as long as all the clocks agree with each other. Completely private network with a master NTP server that is updated by hand every week or so should work fine.
Can't play HD-DVDs on most XBoxes, either. The HD-DVD drive was a separate add-on which very few people got and has been discontinued for years. That's one of the reasons HD-DVD got beat by Blu-Ray--every PS3 came (and comes) with a Blu-Ray drive standard.
you aren't allowed to be disgusted when the islamic world responds with an International Holocaust Cartoon Competition.
Of course you are. And the Muslims are allowed to be disgusted by the Mohammed competition. It's when you move from disgust to censorship that there's a problem. By the way, I *do* feel the European decisions to censor Holocaust deniers is wrong.
If that is true, a GUI has no point. A command line is simpler, easier to use and is more powerful. Not to mention it requires much less computing power. If you need manuals and training to use a GUI, the command line wins.

Haven't you heard? Space fighter sims have been dead since Freespace 2.
Not if it was cached on the student's own hardware.
"Geez, we really screwed that up. Okay, here's your $99 back."

Standard form contracts, not shrink-wrap agreements. In fact, as far as I know, shrink-wrap agreements in general have never been upheld in court.

I can set my Playstation 3 to do Folding@home work. Beating cancer seems pretty constructive.
Thank you, Obama campaign. It's nice to know you're monitoring Slashdot.
Fermat's last political system?
Any decent mail reader not only doesn't download images, it doesn't download *anything* until you okay it. That's how all of mine work.
Not quite. They were confirming that point, but that's already been shown. What they showed is that *people with higher levels of education are *more* influenced by their poitical leanings* because they use their additional knowledge to justify those leanings.
And anyways, you'd be in a lot trouble with the Chinese government if they found out you were trained by the CIA.
And the version sounds like a political cause. "Justice now! Release the Fedora 17!"
...the robot replied, "Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they're making me clean up dangerous radioactive waste."

Which can be compared to dealing with structural flaws by putting on another coat of paint.
What frightened them?

Let me guess. You have a HD-DVD library, don't you?
One can only hope that the next one will be named "John Gabriel".

I am so very, very glad I don't live in your world. Say hi to Big Brother for me.

Unless Dropbox uses the iCloud API, then, no, I don't mean "like Dropbox."
