Motorcycles also pollute 3x times as much as SUVs.
I hear this a lot, but I have yearly test documentation that says otherwise... with both cruiser and sportbikes... I swear, it's like people believe anything...
Either way, plowing into a vehicle traveling 60 mph on a 75 mph freeway is sign of that individual needing to be taken off the road permanently. This the reason that America has multiple lanes, usually segmented into fast, slow, and cruise.
Let's not pull the whole "your not cool enough to be on the road" bullshit.
And lead-acid batteries can easily last a decade, if you keep them fully charged. A warm climate helps.
I'd watch your use of the word "easily". I've had my hands on at least 10 vehicles in my life, in both a cold environment and a warm environment. (maryland and arizona) The longest I've ever seen a battery last while being used is 7 years. Sure, if you're lucky you might be able to conserve a battery by babying it, but the the main physics behind charge/discharge is that the materials do break down. By no means would I say a battery could "easily" last 10 years. In the Phoenix area, it's a given your battery will be replaced in 3-5 years just from breakdown due to temperature. It's not the water, and I can attest to that myself since I use distilled water to maintain mine. I had to replace a battery that was under garaged trickle-charge when the cars parked in the garage instead of driving, simply because it wouldn't hold a charge any longer. Of course it was a walmart battery with a 3 year life, so I guess that's a given.
But now we have Google automatically adding backgrounds to the search page when you don't want anything to change because it's distracting and works as it is already.
If your world crumbles because a background photo appears, you're pretty fucking sad.
You can't make money selling games when they're all given away for free.
When was the last time you saw production-quality games for free other than the obvious like Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and Doom? Torrents don't count, in this comparison.
whereas I doubt you'll find many Linux binaries from that era that will still run on an up to date distro.
Sure they will... if they are compiled the right way, statically.
If you know you're compiling a product that will be used on the Linux environment and don't want to be locked on a specific library version/etc, static compilations are perfect.
No, it's absolutely nothing like that. At all. In fact, even BadAnalogyGuy is crying from how atrocious that analogy was.
in spite of the joking fashion of it, it is quite like that. I could care less if you agree, it's blatantly obvious the place has been gang raped by the industry. It's even more laughable when it's *DURING* one of the incidents. I realize that this is by an aonymous coward, but I figured I'd bring those up to snuff that don't quite understand.
Each phone you buy is so loaded with shit that anyone who tries to run all programs or options on their phone will ring up a hefty bill without realizing it.
I can attest to that. I was a verizon customer for about a year and the first thing I did was tell them "no net, because I don't want to pay for it.". They nodded, and agreed, and so naturally you'd think that does it. Well, the wrong button hit on the phone pulled up a browser which naturally pulls up a verizon website by default. That means that somehow, net is there. The bill that month had a 1k use, which amounted to about a 15.00 fee for net activity. CSR didn't help one bit, simply saying that the use of net access warrants a month of a net access fee. After asking how to avoid it, a snarky little "don't use the net on the phone" came from their mouth. Of course, I asked how to keep the phone from actually accessing the 'net, and they said it wasn't possible and to simply avoid using it.
Suffice to say, after a couple months, it happened again because I hit the wrong button. I was furious since even if I wanted to use it, it's not even a real browser! After talking to a few people in CSR, and finally going to the verizon store and not leaving until it was fixed, I had the ability removed at the verizon side, with the browser not being functional.
I guess it helped when I told the guy (I lied of course...) that I took off half a day to fix this, and I'm not leaving until it's fixed even if it takes days:) Since I have a great poker face...
People really need to get off their high horses and realize that there are plenty of people in the world who would be happy to work for far less just because its working for something... rather than starving.
I'm sorry, but once you get above 7/11 and WalMart/K-Mart (we're talking I.T. after all) we've kinda lifted a *touch* above the whole starving realm.

Here in Phoenix AZ, Discount Cab has an entire fleet of Prius cabs. It's actually kinda cool to see.

...if you purchased a brand new SATA-based mass-storage device in the last few weeks; THROW IT AWAY! Here comes SATA II...
SATA III has been around since 2008. 6Gb/s mmmmmm yummy
Don't forget the poorly designed, non-locking HDMI connector that can just slip right out of the jack.
I don't know what HDMI connectors your using, but every HDMI cable I've plugged in has been pretty firmly in place...
Red Hat is by farrrrrrrrrr not free.
They open source/GPL their alterations, but they're product is not free.

It could be devastating to the small contingent of workers who build and supply parts for new rigs/wells/ships/etc
Point?
This keeps up and they'll be fully out of work...
you sure are fucking stupid.
Christ, did a bunch of anonymous asses wake up?

No, it's not, and you now owe a written apology to every rape victim in the world, you piece of filth.
Pats anonymous coward on the head.
There there.
So basically it's like someone being raped by everyone in a club and saying they like the music a lot so they aren't staying out.
In this case, you should have used the proper replacement technique.
s/their/they\'re/
Then the right variation will be replaced =)

Business is not war.
What you stated there after more than a paragraph of description that backed saying that business is war, is equivalent to saying "nuh uh!!!!"

The professional way to word this is Penis, Sir.
because that one employee would need to be paid for 120 or 160 hours of work per week, in order to achieve the same throughput as before
Or have them on salary... when that's the case, they can run you ragged and not worry.
That alone wraps up the whole Mexican labor thing in America. At least for the legal ones,
But that part brings out a whoooole new can of worms.
Bush warned us about this long ago and tried to save us.
That's one way to look at it... the other way to look at it was that he was using that as an excuse for everything.
Yards... kilograms... argh. At least you're making an attempt to catch up to the 20th century :)
Is Europe pulling the African-American approach on South Park and coming up with a new type of measurement beause everyone else is using it now? :)
We could park it in the oil leak, beats using golf balls and shredded car tyres!
Judging by your spelling of tires, I'm guessing you work for BP.
