In any case, though, this is just the Wall Street Journal's sliding in a political opinion in the guise of a fact. The cars were made in 1962, and the article states "Most of the cars—46 of them—were destroyed in 1967." I don't think you can blame the OPEC Oil embargo of 1973 for the failure of the design six years previously. Perhaps the WSJ should have paid attention to this sentence: "Yes, turbine engines were expensive to mass produce."
Glad you caught this; it was the first thing I thought of when reading the summary. It's why I despise reading about automobiles on Slashdot: the level of ignorance is astounding. The same geeks who think nothing of ridiculing the average person who can't tell the difference between a Banana PCjr and a Banana PCjr with tint control think nothing of posting the most ill-informed commentary on cars.
I cannot remember the details and I have no link, but ISTR that RJR, Philip Morris and The Usual Suspects have been seeking to protect various names that could conceivably used to adorn marijuana products.
but you're probably right as only "Conservative Republicans" still care about separation of powers in our federal apparatus
You say that after eight years of Bush executive expansions and abuses cheered on by the republican party and voters and your head *doesn't* explode from the cognitive dissonance!!?
Impressive that it took as long as nine minutes for the 'no true Scotsman' fallacy to be presented as a rebuttal.
The summary doesn't explain because the answer is obvious. Apple wanted a contiguous area of land for their data center and in order to obtain it they needed to purchase the land from multiple owners. I'm sure they could have found an alternate site but they would have had a similar problem of some owners being more willing to sell than others. This situation arises often enough with real estate that it wasn't found necessary to explain the details.
Why would the GP be interested in typical real estate transactions, what with living in his mom's basement and all?
Funny..a company was just fined a few million for (illegal) human experimentation of their bone anchoring glue which resulted in several deaths, but a spammer that didn't cause any physical harm or death is fined a billion dollars. Let's get some file sharers fined for more than the GDP of several small nations combined too, for good measure.
I hate spammers, but you're telling me that a few million spam messages are worth more than several LIVES and ILLEGAL MEDICAL EXPERIMENTATION ON HUMANS?
Absolutely! They found a practical use for lawyers! A discovery of that magnitude is worth a Nobel or two.
Lemme know when you finally make the members of the House of Windsor finally get paying jobs.
Also, be sure you don't fall off your high horse on the issue of slavery. The US also voluntarily decided to end slavery. The discussions were quite vigorous however. While we are at it, the UK and France both offered a helping hand to the morally wrong side on the issue of American slavery.
I don't have any RSI, but I can see that this method of computer use would free my hands, which would be highly beneficial to 99% of my computer use...

Hell, if I had a full gas tank, I could throw a bottle of perfume in the tank and still ride around all day as well.
Chrysler most likely brought it from an automotive racing perspective rather than aerospace, but thank you for informing the AC.
+1 informative. Wish I hadn't commented, as I have found one of the few knowledgeable dotters when it comes to cars.

If the Oracle doesn't approve, secretly create an army of 300 of your best men.
Including Ephialtes S. Raymond?
Final Fantasy...
According to that link, they have a $240 billion equity position.
I like that word and hope that I can remember to inject it into the conversation.
Hehe. I LOVE slashdot. Quoting the article is now a troll.
These are 500px wide...
If 640 is enough for everyone, 500 should be enough for 78% of the population.
I think you are correct that I used the wrong term.
Suing a lawyer for malpractice? That's cute.
Ref: see "recursion".
I looked that up and all it said was: see "recursion".
Sounds like a false duality to me.

He said 'experimentation on humans'.
Who knew that Billion was spelled differently in Canada, maybe it is like color and colour.
Yep, here in Canada, it's correctly spelled "billioun".
I thought you spelt it "bouillon"?
Man I'm hungry...
DC elections are decided in the Democratic primary.
And since the city council has limited power and their representative in Congress has no vote, it's a moot point anyway.

What makes you think the OP meant the USA? The world is filled with the descendants of disgruntled Britons.
I watch a lot of cable news, and have trouble recognizing any natural intelligence.
Hehe. You said 'arouse'.
