That's not quite accurate. When people got IE for free people still didn't want it. What then happened is that MS bundled it with 98, then people were forced to use it.
It was after people were forced to use it that it took off.
In other words ( wait for it ) MS couldn't give IE away, they had to force you to take it.
I recently got a chance to see "The Sting". Actually I cam across it and kept watching. Forgot what a good movie it was.
In the movie.there were two types of con men. Grifters, small time conmen, who would do things like trick you into giving them your wallet to hold while you went to the bathroom, and those who played in the "Big Con". Guys who would convince you to hand over house and life savings.
The reason I'm a Republican is simple: Republicans are grifters, but Democrats are the experts of the Big Con. They don't even do it for themselves, they get you to do it for them. Then they get you to believe it was a really great idea.
Actually, I'm surprised that they don't have some kind of proprietary nonvolatile memory device where they can groups of books, so you can swap them out.
I'm starting to suspect that what really happens is a bunch of junk floods our mind. Then in the instant before we wake up, we start making sense of those signals and remember dreaming.
I used to bike in the snow. One day I pointed out that you are safer and have more control than a car. He pointed out that in the last snow storm three people on bikes were injured. All three because some car lost control and plowed into them. Never road in the snow again.
.That is something that drivers tend to miss about bicyclists. They are seated much higher, so often can see more cross traffic sooner.
The thing I think is essential is the bicyclist coming to a full foot on the ground stop. a start from such can be slow and awkward and causes more discomfort among every one involved, the bicyclist, the cars whgo do not have the right of way.
First before I address the big stupidity, let me address the small stupidity. The feds actually go through with this whats going to happen? State emergency departments are going to get large data dumps from oil transporters. "8:00am 1 million gallons from A to B. 8:07pm 458000gallons from C to D....."
As for the real idiots, do you really think that if the US went 0% of reliance on oil for energy that would stop oil usage in the US. Think again. Is that keyboard you are typing on all metal or wood? Including the keycaps. Is the controller not embedded in "IC epoxy". The chair you are sitting on made from wood or metal? Any synthetic fibers in the clothes you are wearing? Guess what those are all made from crude oil.
KInd of a stupid thing to say. I suggest you investigate what a physicist means by two dimensional. Such as in "surface phenomena". Essential this means that the physics of 2D QFT and 2D statistical mechanics apply to what is happening on these semiconductors.

The satellite will block the liught coming from the star impinging on the Earth thus reduce the heating of the Earth by 0.00001 %.
Just the Chicken Littles sqwauling again.

What idiot would want JavaScript for application development?
They'll just grow it in a vat instead.

Hmmm. I nerver saw a six foot rabbt, I did hear one once during a showing of Harvey.
Guess what the principle means of making it?
You guessed it oil or coal tar.

The one roundabout in the Chicago is nicknamed "Suicide Circle". Still I do think they are safer for cars. Not sure about bicyclists though.

Time for a very serious question. Did a government grant pay for this report?
If the aliens trurn out to be like Kzinti?
No, but they think they do.
