3. Hyperbole. It's used as a conversation technique to emphasize a point. Learn communication techniques such as these and your life will run smoother. I'd hate to see you watch a TV show and write a dissertation on why Superman is inaccurate.

The engine was from a 1977 Honda Accord. The 1976 Honda Accord had a 0-60 time of 13.8 s. source. Not spectacular, but it's less than 8 percent of your suggestion.

From what I remember, Amiga games tended to be "lovingly crafted". Apple IIGS games, on the other hand, were often ports of EGA version-- so the extended color palette was never used.
Compare the screenshots for Pirates! Yes, there was a later remake for VGA, but at the time, the Amiga afforded a distinctly different experience.
For a while, the purpose of a sound card was to "accelerate" Direct Sound3D-- and the better the sound card, the more voices could be mixed in real time, and the more precise the placement in 3D space. A good sound card could really take the pressure off the CPU. CPUs have improved since then, and Microsoft changed DirectX, so perhaps they're pointless now.
Black eggs are mentioned on page 164. The author's suspicions were raised by several seemingly innocuous clues, but I didn't find the brief excerpt all that compelling.
it was primarily the rich slave-owning land-holders who were represented in government.
Thus-- Slave Power.
Lincoln opined that the people of the confederate states were not really interested in secession:
It may well be questioned whether there is to-day a majority of the legally qualified voters of any State, except, perhaps, South Carolina, in favor of disunion. There is much reason to believe that the Union men are the majority in many, if not in every other one, of the so-called seceded States. The contrary has not been demonstrated in any one of them. It is ventured to affirm this, even of Virginia and Tennessee; for the result of an election, held in military camps, where the bayonets are all on one side of the question voted upon, can scarcely be considered as demonstrating popular sentiment. At such an election all that large class who are, at once, for the Union and against coercion would be coerced to vote against the Union.
The advocates of states rights should ask themselves whether they truly believe that more aggressive, powerful states will better serve the interests of the people of those states--or just another group of elites.
When people swear, they are often loud and uncouth. Prudes might think that "fuck" refers to a specific sexual act, but it also can be used as an intensifier.
My bedroom overlooks a informal public space-- a fire lane, often used as a loading zone. But I like peace and quiet. Noise, I can tune out. Intensified speech--that's a different story.
Is the phrase "That's fucking cool man" mean to be whispered, OR SHOUTED TO THE WHOLE FUCKING NEIGHBORHOOD?

It is said that under Blair, Britain became more of a Nanny state than ever before.
Today, children are no longer allowed to buy fireworks or light their own bonfires. The Fireworks Act of 2003 prohibited people under the age of 18 from carrying fireworks in public. Bonfire night is now strictly controlled by grown-ups. Due to the influence of the US, Halloween has replaced Bonfire Night as children's big autumn festival. Even the cardboard Guy Fawkes masks have disappeared from most of our shops, to be replaced by Halloween masks and skulls. But some children do still build guys and go out to collect pennies.

Any damages applied to them would simply be passed on to the consumers.
BP has competitors. If BP "passes on" the damages to consumers in the form of higher prices, those competitors can easily undercut BP's prices.
Rationalism can be a school of philosophical thought opposed to empiricism.
Perhaps more illustratively, in Jerry Pournelle's chart, rationalism "refers to the extent which a political philosophy is compatible with the idea that social problems can be solved by use of reason."
Actually, MIniCars developed several models of RSV. It was a research program, after all. One was 1700 lbs, another was 2500 lbs.
The previous SV program produced three ton monsters-- but the participants weren't all that imaginative.

Let's do the math, shall we?
3 times 2400 lbs-- 7200 lbs.
But the according to this 1976 magazine article, the the minicar weighs just 1900 lbs
I do believe you're off by 275%. Such engineering prowess!

Engineers shouldn't exaggerate.
The Apple IIGS had an Ensoniq 5503 digital oscillator chip
15 voices. I'm not sure how that compares to the Amiga or the Mac.
Here's the opening to Zany Golf I'm told it was pretty impressive for the time.
The Apple IIGS (1986) had an awesome sound chip, but legal problems with Apple Corp. prevented Apple Computer from incorporating anything comparable into the Macintosh.
The Compaq Deskpro 386 started at $6499. The Amiga 1000 was $1295 ($300 more for the monitor).
Comparison of Monkey Island: IBM vs Amiga Of course, the IBM was using EGA graphics.

I think you'll discover that the Mexican-American War would have been difficult to prosecute, were it not for the National Government.

And, of course, the movie did much to dilute the essential radicalism of "V for Vendetta". The surveillance state didn't really help.

Spare me the civics lesson, buddy. The seventeenth amendment was passed because it became too easy to bribe state legislatures.
The closest we got to that was 1605...and we still celebrate it every year to this day.
