Because this takes hills into account. Because this allows you to choose fastest/quietest/balanced routes. Because this will route you along cycle ways that motorbikes aren't allowed down.
(Because I already own an iPhone so it's free!)
Honestly, did you read any of the friendly article at all?
I once had a database design altered by a manager because it didn't reflect the corporate structure:
Division B has data just like Division A, so they can use the same tables with a different top level key, right?
No, Division B reports to Division A so their tables have to hang off Division A's tables even though there is no data dependency whatsoever.
Trying to code the resulting middle tier layer screwed up a multi-million pound project so badly that 90% of its objectives had to be descoped. It also gave me a nervous breakdown.
Could you please read the friendly article and do the slightest bit of skim-reading before commenting...
* Mainstream class entries must seat at least four passengers, have four wheels, and have a minimum 200 mile range
* Alternative class entries open up the design space a bit by reducing the requirements to seat at least two passengers with a minimum 100 mile range and no minimum on the number of wheels
* Regardless, to win, vehicles must complete all on-track tests, demonstrate fuel economy numbers equal to at least 100 MPGe, pass all FMVSS requirements , and complete validation testing on the chassis dynamometer.
* Beyond these, the fastest time clocked in the Finals Events wins
These trades that earn big bucks are a percentage of money put at risk. The software minimises risk.
Now, which is generating the profit? Is it the software, or is the cash?
Similarly, in a factory setup, is it the workers who are generating the profit, or is it the massive cash investment in machinery, buildings, designs, contracts, etc?
Taking good risks with your own money is what reaps reward. Not labour. And certainly not labour when the individual is told precisely what to do, and could be replaced with a fairly stupid robot.
I think the stat the gp was thinking of is the gdp/capita, which ISTR (but can't be arsed to fetch the stats) does have the States as the biggest by far.
So in terms of disposable income, yeah, the States should be the ones doing this. Also, I have visited the southern states. Blanketting them in solar arrays would be an improvement.
nobody's forced to listen to me so I should be allowed to say whatever the hell I want
That's exactly right. That's exactly the legal position AIUI. Unless it is inciting a crime, your opinion is your own. Google BSA vs Singh for the UK position: SL Singh claimed the BSA purveyors of 'bogus' treatments. His defence of "opinion" was accepted at appeal.

God forbid I should be a passenger... on a train. Can't believe some fuckwit modded this insightful.

Doesn't do castling... but he's got one byte left...!
Very impressive.
Just.
Or it could be simply the slashdot effect. In fact, yeah, it's probably that.
That is shockingly true.

Stuff I have read suggests that the sword was sheathed on the right side because their shields were quite heavy.
Personally I think I could draw a short sword perfectly comfortably, thumb down.
Your elbow joints may vary.

Dear New Boy,
Could you please read the friendly article and do the slightest bit of skim-reading before commenting...
No, that's silly. I must be new here.

When and if I need a lawyer, I only intend to hire one who actively claims to be an asshole.
So all lawyers are assholes. Even Shakespeare knew that.

Fabulously, it now has a single result for its own suggestion..!
This is like Dr Who, but with search terms.
"I thought he was a terrorist placing a bomb, and that if I challenged him he would detonate it"
There's your imminent danger right there.
I read it as "thanks, fuckarse".
Could be either...
There's an old Goon Show where they trademark the word 'Help!' and they go around pushing people into canals...
Oh crap.

Big Al, my medic neighbour at Uni: "Yaaaay! First placement, Obs&Gyn!"
Six months later I asked how it had been: "Uuuuurgh. I never want to see another one."!
...when I and several other people submitted it to slashdot, complete with links to the PC Pro story that ran in February IIRC.
Thanks for the public service announcement Timothy.
If only it had been put out when it was first starting, hundreds of other people might have been warned.
Grrrrr.

It's not four items wide. That's just page one. Swipe left (go to page right) and you'll see there are more.
HOWEVER. Who fucking cares how many there are? You don't have to do anything with that page if you don't want to.
Justin.
I think it'll be used. I just doubt the matching .com will be given up.
Justin.
Kidding, no. Wrong, clearly. Thanks for the correction. You might like to look up what ISTR means.

Cos the discovery of oil in Saudi and the rest of the middle east has done so well for the poor there, right?

I can vouch that in the UK, in Southampton, in 1992, the loops could reliably detect me on my chromoly frame hybrid.
I think this, if this is still a problem where you are, it is not a technical issue so much as an implementation one.
