What? An article complaining about dodgy facts has dodgy facts?
What is truly infuriating about the whole thing is that he isn't even a MP. He has no power in the government. Yet journalists want to hang broken promises on him.
It would cut both ways, as European cars probably don't meet US standards either.
The problem is safety is not a single variable. Improving one measure of safety might decrease another. EU and US regulators simply have different concerns about what is safe. EU regulators are concerned about pedestrian collisions, but making a car safer for pedestrians might make for worse accidents when you run into a Hummer.
There are other factors too, like US regulators test for what happens when people don't wear seatbelts, in the EU they just assume people do (because oddly Europeans actually use the things).
I live within in Eastern PA (I'm pretty sure NYC is less than 100 miles) and the local Best Buy had 18 units sitting in a pile by the checkouts as of 2 hours ago.
"BTW, for gambling proponents endorsing building Casinos as a public good, just go to Atlantic City... One street behind the Boardwalk, it becomes a total dump."
To be fair it was like that before the casinos moved in.
AP tests are just like SATs, anybody who wants to pay can take them. I knew quite a few kids who took AP tests that our school didn't teach for. I wish I had followed suit, the ones I did get counted for nothing since they were in my major, besides I got a 5 on the chem and learned almost nothing anyway:-\
The counterargument to this is quite simple. If we improve efficiency in one area (overproduce) another may go underproduced because resources are lacking. If the car industry was to go full tilt someone wanting to develop a new steel product may not be able to get the steel to produce their contraption.
The Soviet Union was a good example of this. They could produce great quantities of items. However they still still suffered crippling shortages. A good example is the soviet manufacturing of TVs. They produced more than they needed. So when color TV came around they still had huge stockpiles of B&W units. Since production was tied up in B&W units production of color units suffered.
We are also neglecting the cost of warehousing overproduced items. Not to mention any perishable goods may not last long enough to reach market. Just because twice as much food is available is no reason to eat twice as much:0) Or may directly, overproduction leads to overconsumption.
From what I understand its because wordperfect has better metakeys. Basically wp users never need to touch a mouse, which slows down typing speed, which in a legal office is very important. I've heard it said that wordperfect users can reach 100 wpm, while office dosn't offer the same flexibility. Dunno myself, and mind you this was a few years ago...
The woman would have known what the video tape showed. She could state before hand what the tape would show. SCO refuses to state what the code from IBM would show. There is a big difference between 'the tape will show the door slammed my client' and 'we believe the door might have slammed my client we need the tape to check on it'.
I think it has something to do with the fact that MPlayer is based in Hungary:0) Of course if any developers live in the US, or other countries with similiar laws, I'd assume they could be in legal trouble... ask a lawyer:0)
While its true that NVidia still supports TNT cards in its drivers, as the owner of one of these cards I have to wonder if there are any improvments for older cards. The changelog last mentions the TNT chipset on August 20, 2001, how many of the later changes, such as twin head display, effect all cards is unknown.
Getting all their old games working is probably not that important. Kids adapt remarkably well, although there may be some tantrums:0) Also consider what they are "learning" from those games. When was in elementary school I remember having quite a bit of fun figuring out how to get logo to make lots of neat designs. Contrast this to those programs which basically create a gilded prison. They learn how to use the game, not the computer. This isn't to say that those programs are bad, but if your 3 year old has to learn some additionals to get the program to run it isn't a loss.

Far too many people believe that dissenting opinions are threatening and abusive in and of themselves.
It costs so much because lawyers don't work for free.
Theoretically this is what class action suits are for. Many people who want to pursue small damages.
Because only a fool or a madmen spends thousands of dollars pursuing a claim over fifty.

I don't expect it either. But in the past they wouldn't rule it out and intimated that if cryengine supported it they would add it.
Now they can't blame someone else. We'll see...

You realize it was almost 2 months before I realized Colmes was supposed to represent the "liberal" side? I seriously thought he was a sidekick!
Hrm, ISPs hate their customers... and they wonder why their customers hate them?
We would, but apparently the right passed a law against this kindof thing...
actually 19 hours 25 minutes 5 seconds plus a smidge.. assuming maximum sustained transfer rate (yeah right!)
did you consider maybe they were moderated down -1 and its below your threshold? 8-)

IIRC, the DMCA explicitly prevents reverse engineering
maybe because its illegal? Such a project would definitly violate the DMCA (what dosn't?) plus a bunch of copyright/patent stuff I would imagine.

I think we'd bankrupt ourselves first...
