Stealing things out of a mailbox is a federal crime. Robbing a convenience store (with a weapon other than a gun, in jurisdictions where that matters) carries lower penalties. No one ever said petty criminals were smart, but one of the benefits of the USPS being a federal agency is that they have laws that extremely overprotect them and their service.
In 8 years I have seen perhaps five out of 20+ CFLs in my apartments (they move with me) fail. At this rate, the average lifetime will likely be greater than 10 years. And that is with 8-year-old CFLs, which are far less well engineered than modern bulbs.
If an incandescent costs you 50 cents and lasts one year, while a CFL costs $5 and lasts ten years, you break even on replacement costs... Maybe you even break even on electricity cost, if the waste heat is desirable in a cold climate. But you also save 9 bulb replacements every 10 years, per bulb. With 20 CFLs in my apartment I will have 20 replacements in 10 years. You will have replaced 200 incandescent bulbs in the same timeframe, wasting how many hours of your time?
What was the something illegal that he did? I admit that I regularly download movies illegally, but I actually saw the Wolverine movie recently without having broken any laws. Someone else downloaded it, played it, and displayed it publicly. I didn't ask them to do it, I didn't help them do it, I didn't pay them to do it. I just happened to be walking by and went "hey, Wolverine, I'll stop and watch that". Unless you can prove that Mr Friedman did something illegal, or at least have SOME evidence or argument in favor of such, please do not make such allegations.
We of course make the naive assumption that the computers in the car won't be subject to the types of malicious interference that you get with poorly written software.
Input from other cars, even hackers pretending to be other cars, are just suggestions. Your car still makes all the decisions. If the input from the radar does not agree with the input from the radio, there are viable options that do not require coming to a halt. At worst, you are back to manual control, no worse off than not having the system to begin with.
Bicycles are quite hard to balance once you enclose them. I don't think I could track stand a 200lb bike, especially without the head room to stand up.
I believe IQ 100 is the mean, not the median. In which case it is likely that the vast majority have an IQ slightly under 100, while a minority have an IQ significantly higher.
That is, IQ distribution could be 95 95 95 95 120.
This, interestingly, is also the distribution of penis length and girth, whereby the majority of men are actually below average.
A Geo Metro hatchback holds a standard (American) dishwasher, clothes washer, clothes dryer, or oven, entirely enclosed with the hatch closed. Hooray subcompacts!
Are you sure that the third wheel gives a better ride? Consider the simple case of a speed bump. With two wheels, you get a single rise and fall of the entire chassis. With three (or four), you get the front going up, then down, then the back going up, then down, producing a much "bumpier" ride. This applies to smaller less uniform bumps as well. Also consider the additional maintenance costs of a third wheel, including suspension and bearings.
It's been years since I played WoW or did any add-on development. I take it from your and others' posts that there is some sort of add-on "package manager" available now that installs add-ons for you. Can you elaborate on what you are using to accomplish that?
No, both of those are, implicitly, expected to be world readable, and at least usually for software that any user can run (to some degree of success)./root is the only place for root to put a local application (or any other files) that he doesn't want a user to be able to see at all.
Yes, but sending a SMS message costs a total of about a penny, totalled across every network it has to travel, amortizing every piece of hardware it uses. You have to assume that with providers charging as much as a 5000% markup for some users and nothing for other users, they must be subsidizing one with the other.
That depends entirely on where you are. I have lived places where Google Maps was off by hundreds of feet in some places. I currently live in Atlanta, and have never seen my spot be more than 20 feet off the spot agreed on by my GPS-using counterparts (often my spot is not even the farthest off the consensus).
What is your preferred method of indicating the plural of "NOUN" when "NOUNS" is a different word with a different meaning that cannot be discerned via context? This particularly applies to acronyms.
I go geohashing/geocaching using nearby buildings as a reference, with no GPS device. I put the lat/long into Google Maps, print the deepest zoom of the location, then triangulate my position based on building corners when I get there. I don't care that the building might be a church or a school, it's just a handy object with well defined corners.
They are both equally interactive. You open your RSS reader (which could be firefox, google reader, or any number of other pieces of software) and click a video entry to watch it. I open my RSS reader (which is the hulu gui) and click a video entry to watch it.

They were not stretched. I would mind that less. The sides of the film (about half the screen) are cut off in the full-screen version.
You realize there is no way to fix that without re-engineering the city's traffic light system, right? The buses leave the stations every 6 minutes, mostly. The bunching up on the road is an emergent behavior of crappy city road network planning, and high traffic density.

The ending of a number in binary indicates its oddness. 2 (0b10) is the only prime that ends in zero in binary.

How do you bookmark a specific lower level page if no variables are stored in the URL?

Naughty enough for a 'foe' designation. I love slash.

Depending on how much non-system software root has installed in his home directory... pretty large.
What makes you think that NWN or Oblivion are superior? Better graphics? The Geneforge games have depth that makes Oblivion look like a rails shooter.

Why is the middle of a football stadium impossible? Even if you mean the exact middle, as in the center of the field, if it's a grass field...

I'll second this. I love making wind chimes out of hard drive platters.
