They quote the uranium limits from coal plants as being less than 10 parts per million.
Let's not forget that this 10ppm is the EPA guideline. There are plenty of places in the world with looser regulation (and even no regulation) on coal emissions. So that makes 1700 tons of uranium the best case scenario. I shudder to think what the worst case scenario would be.
The basic definition of a light truck--any truck or truck derivative with a gross vehicle weight rating of 8,500 pounds or less--allows plenty of room for family vehicles. Because light trucks is considered a separate category from passenger automobiles, vehicle manufacturers have been able to build and market SUVs and other large vehicles with a less stringent CAFE standard, currently 20.7 miles per gallon (mpg). Furthermore, most SUVs and pickups, and all vans, are currently permitted to emit 29% to 47% more carbon monoxide and 75% to 175% more nitrogen oxides than passenger cars.
your entity exists to do nothing than extort people for royalties on your patent
Let's say we make a new rule that says any corporation that derives more than 90% of its revenue from patent royalties is a patent troll.
The problem is that this rule is trivial to dodge. Large multi-nationals can just buy patent trolls and thus wash the patent royalties into the legitimate revenue stream. It doesn't matter if the percentage is set at 90% or even 1%, there are plenty of Fortune 500s out there with big enough revenue streams to do this.
This is a complicated problem which requires delicate solutions. There is no silver bullet. For every person out there with a genuine desire to fix the problem there are 10 lawyers coming up with new loopholes. That's why it's important that we keep the discussion going and spread the news so that more people becomes informed and involved.
That's precisely how supply and demand works. If you like a certain genre of books, then your demand for that genre is greater than the average consumer; Amazon figures this out and raises the price because their algorithm knows that you're willing to pay the higher price.
Don't like it? Vote with your dollar and don't shop at Amazon. Flinging ad hominem at me certainly won't change the situation.
No, the FBI is all over the world. They are the primary criminal investigation unit of the US government. Most of their work occurs in the US, but embassy bombings and the like fall under their purvue. The CIA and NSA, and the millitary are not law enforcement agencies. The FBI has a wide reach. I think it was an FBI agent who questioned Saddam Hussein after his capture.
You realize that embassies are considered to be soil of the nations they are embassies for, right? By definition, any bombing of an American embassy occurred on American soil.
How doe the fact that only 2.7% of US consumer spending is spent on Chinese goods fit into your little narrative?
The average US consumer can't buy a "Made in China" home, nor a "Made in China" car, nor "Made in China" food, nor "Made in China" gas. As it turns out, housing, transportation, and food makes up the majority of a consumer's spending.
Your comment was so retarded it almost sent me into a homicidal rage. I really don't see how deadly weapons like your stupidity is protected by the first amendment; that sort of firepower is simply no longer relevant in a modern society.
contain no dictionary words and have a minimum of 2 small letters, to caps and two symbols
Ironically, anal retentive password rules like this one actually undermines the password entropy. In this case I'll bet 99% of the passwords contain exactly two symbols.

That's a terrible metaphor. Microsoft is not sinking; Microsoft is soaring!
If anything, it's like naming a new captain to the Hindenburg after it caught fire.
Original credits goes to Colbert.

That was a de facto woosh that just went over your head.
Excellet news! Maybe they'll finally take out all the trash inside Capitol Hill.
So MBA programs are basically goatse in real life?
Don't you get a slave in golf? Where's my slashdot slave?
My source says the Escalade is 7,100 pounds gross. Perhaps you have a better source that puts it above 8500 pounds?
Meanwhile this link backs up everything GP said.

A sample size of one is insufficient to make any meaningful conclusions.
Anyone up for scraping the two bug trackers and finding more identical bug reports?

Economists, publishers, and readers no longer have confidence that a book will cost the same amount this week as it did the last.
Breaking news: prices of goods change based on supply and demand. Film at 11.

That's actually a common misconception.
Wouldn't a duress code solve the coercion problem?
Chinese manufacturers made up for less than 1% of auto sales in Australia last year.
I'm not denying you can buy Chinese cars overseas; my point was that the "average" consumer won't be driving a Made in China car in the West.

Apparently they could survive in seawater.
Google tells me he's from Sweden:
Sweden: 0.02% (up to 6 months imprisonment), 0.10% (imprisonment, maximum 2 years), zero (if not driving safely.)

Leaving a backdoor in this program would be the ultimate job security guarantee.
Cartridge != case
Cartridge = bullet + case + propellent + primer
A caseless cartridge still needs bullet, propellent, and primer, none of which is presently 3D printable.

Precisely. Thus GP saying gold is valuable due to it being a "superb conductor" is dead wrong.
Malleability and resistance to oxidation is what makes it valuable in industry, not low conductivity.
