And I'm sure a lot of Slashdotters around the world are thinking:
What does a single country's share of the world economy tell us about any single company in that country? Why can't a Russian company buy LiveJournal? Why couldn't an Estonian or Honduran company buy LiveJournal? Why couldn't Kim Jong-Il buy it?
Those statistics tell you very little about the economies of each country -- including purchasing power, per-capita GDP and income, imports, exports, government vs. private sector revenues and spending, corporate & individual tax rates, employment, foreign investment, etc.
Over 42% of the offenders are known to have been involved in drug or alcohol abuse. The actual figure may be higher, as there are many cases in which the unclassified record is insufficient to make a judgment on this subject.
It's probably the same as the percentage of the general population known to have been involved in drug or alcohol abuse.
But I bet more than likely your request will be ignored or you'll get a "why the fsck are you asking such a dumb thing?" That's generally how I reply when someone asks me about code I've posted.
That's good. It was your code we are talking about here.
catch as much rain as is possible (outside of the US Pacific Northwest? Good Luck with that one)
You do know that the Pacific Northwest has a variety of climates, right? Not many people live in the Hoh Rain Forest.
The most populated areas of the Northwest, west of the mountains, still receive less rain than most of the East Coast of the US, plus major parts of Alaska and Hawaii.
And east of the Cascade Mountains, the climate is quite dry, including areas that receive as little as 7 inches of precipitation per year.
Field sobriety tests are not very accurate. They will likely catch a few sober individuals, and miss some drunk ones. Unfortunately, they carry some undeserved weight in court.
Breath tests are not as accurate for measuring BAC as police and prosecutors claim.
But a blood test can not be faked. The results are highly accurate to measure BAC.
If you don't have high-speed access, consider getting a new job or attending a different university.
Even my local public library has high-speed access for all cardholders.
And a special thank you to my former neighbours, who let me piggyback on their service. I offered to pay part of the monthly bill, but they gave it freely.

Should I put a mirrored dome on top of the building?
Do you still think the government works for the people?
That's fair. I pretended not to speak French when I was there.
(Maybe it was more than just pretending, since I barely understand French, and I definitely can't produce some of the sounds.)
It really pisses off the French if you speak Arabic as if it is the lingua franca.

So you can tell people how good you are at the game.
It used to be point total, back in the days of pinball and Pitfall.
They actually discovered this 12 years ago, but got really stoned to celebrate and forgot.
How about the government loses its secrecy in exchange for our tax dollars?
"It was to be announced at the Party Congress on Monday. As you know, the Premier loves surprises."
When we tried to eat the dinner, for every bite I took I had to drink about one glass of water.
Water just spreads the oil around your mouth. Next time, try drinking milk or sucking on some rice or bread.

Home of the world's best apples, grapes, hops, cherries, and weapons grade plutonium.
What about the world's best watermelons, corn, potatoes, wine, strawberries, tomatoes, alfalfa, and sagebrush?
the "C" fonts; Cambria, Calibri, Candara, Consolas, Constantia, and Corbel.
The fonts look nice enough, but their names suck.
Why not refer to Cambria as Times Newer Roman? Consolas could be called Courier Newer.
Must. . . never. . . go. . . to . . . doctor. . . again!
Ugh!
Too bad this wasn't obvious.
On the plus side, no more surveys without IBM licenses.
It should be outlawed by international convention IMHO.
Do you think that international convention will be followed as well as the Geneva Conventions?
Anyone who would follow such international accords would be unlikely to use such weapons in the first place.
I heard L. Ron Hubbard was involved.
Can you confirm or deny that?
No conservative I have ever met has ever repeated this myth as truth.
Would you like to meet my parents? That would be two conservatives that believe that myth to be true.

Too bad Churchill was wrong.
A monarchy can be the best form of government.
Unfortunately, that can change in a single day.
A monarchy can be the worst form of government.
My phone vibrates.
I don't know what class A or class B mean.
The Air Force often uses JP-8 -- also kerosene, just like Jet-A, but with additives that are not put into commercial fuel.
