Your point is well taken, any situation has a lot of variables and using a single metric to draw a conclusion is shortsighted at best.
Braking power and the traction to go with it are both dependent on more than suspension, ABS or the lack thereof, and tires. Four wheel discs are largely useless on FF vehicles due to the overwhelming forward weight balance; they could make a difference in a situation where the car is loaded down allowing for more rear weight, but even then most all stopping is done by the front.
ABS made a name for itself on race tracks, it's good for providing consistent quick stops, but won't allow for stops from 40-0 as quickly in optimal conditions.
It's not a fair comparison. The 85 civic weighs considerably less, 500-1000lbs depending on the configuration. This means that while your 2005 civic may hit the barrier at 40mph, a driver with similar response time would hit the barrier at 30-35 in their 85.
Static tests aren't really a good indicator of overall safety.
I think it's important because not even Apple and companies working in cooperation see the advantage of using "genuine" hardware. Why should a customer see an appreciable advantage, or spend the extra money for an Apple branded system when it's clearly just the same hunk of electronics in a different box?
It's called augmentation. You buy the top of the line in cpu/motherboard one generation, then gpu the next generation. There was a time when those core2 quads were top notch... and they'll still beat the 920 in a few tests, nothing to worry about there. On the other hand the Duos haven't been top notch since about 2006, so it's hard to say how much that cpu will hold back your new graphics card.
I consider the p55 limitation there intentionally to avoid solid sli or crossfire performance. It would still be nice to see if the intended goal was accomplished, but whether you choose to go for lga1156 or lga1366 you'll still be paying more than an AM2+ configuration for the same performance.
The xp ui is actually more efficient for a lot of things, it was just before it's time when released. Running on modern hardware, or even an old but usable p4 2ghz+ w/512MB ram the menus work fine.
There's no argument that the iphone plan is as cellular plans go, a steal. It's still a very reasonable deal for AT&T, even considering the added infrastructure necessary to provide the service.
That said, AT&T did in fact grossly underestimate the data used by iphone owners. They may have charged more, but that alone wouldn't solve any problems.
Jokes of a world government aside, we can safely say that governments are more concerned with prosecuting free speech rather than silencing it. I guess the outcome is the same, the difference being that government has oppression as a goal.
Chrome is a different product. Chromium is similar to firefox in that they are both open source; Chrome is not open source, and according to google the only difference is logos.
The question is would you trust an unbacked statement from the worldwide censorship leader?
I don't think that's really a solution for dell though. Any new licences purchased from Microsoft will be limited during this "interim" period, meaning that dell will have to reimage for now - then whenever Microsoft gets the patent straightened out they'll need to revert.
Between the deductible and the maximum payout is a tiny amount that's covered in full by a years premiums. That's not really insurance, it's a very lousy invenstment plan.
Intel will be coming out with new i7 chipsets, they just won't be able to work with any of the socket 1366 processors. It should be noted that Microcenter does not ship at those prices, nobody does. If you're lucky enough to have a MC in driving distance good for you, otherwise you'll be stuck paying a LOT more for an i7.
The 965 isn't even on that list, but you shouldn't really trust a single benchmark or source to determine the advantages of a solution. Even the 940 and 955 beat the i7 920 in significant benchmarks, like winrar - even though it's heavily multithreaded.
The real advantage to the phenom II's is the ability to use ddr2 or ddr3 memory; ddr3 is very expensive in clock speeds that's actually faster than ddr2. Between spending half as much for a motherboard and half as much for the ram you come out significantly lower with AMD.
While digging in deeper is technically correct most news sources see the recession nearing its depth. Most economy statistics are in decline but a significantly slower decline than earlier in the year.
Obama's failure will be when the economy does come back. Even when you get your job back, find another house, or get into college you won't be able to afford anything due to the hyper inflation and raised cost of living.

You seem to be mistaking passion for obsession. While I imagine visiting a space or car museum might be an entertaining change for some IT folk, others would find it too much like work. It's probably fair to say that taking a trip for technology in place of meeting people or seeing new parts of the world could seem like work though.
I'll bite. There is no difference in gasoline efficiency between a gas electric hybrid and an equivalent standard vehicle; the problem is finding a "standard" vehicle that meets the same performance, reliability, & safety metrics of a hybrid: you will be hard pressed to find any.
I think the major argument countering the poor performance of said hybrids is that an average commuter doesn't need anything better than a top speed of 90 & a 0-60 time of 9 seconds. We'll leave that argument for another thread.
The difference with computers is that many people can use more power than is provided from an Atom processor, and where that is true the amount of time spent on the system is reduced when the system is faster. Even when all you are doing is browsing, or simple word processing those core2 and like systems can be downclocked significantly. While a core2 @ 800mhz might seem slow, it will still be faster than an Atom @ any speed, and use a similar amount of watts.
I think your guess is approximately correct. While the article is actually quoted with "a predicted cost of at least 3 billion", assuming India's government proposals being as understated as anything western I think we can guess 3-5 times that amount.
Without the mention of which biometric is being used, or how the biometric will be read an estimate of cost is useless. The usual overhead of running a special department, enforcement of rules, dealing with counterfeits & more should also be considered costs, but probably won't be.
P.S. banging rocks together is clearly the superior way to create fire.

I'm going to redefine my cents as dollars. It worked ok for Verizon.

Portable, yes. Power efficient, no. While an Atom does use less power than a C2D, the C2D gives you more performance per watt.
Even PCIe version 1 is highly capable - x8 cards are limited at 2GB/s theoretical, with version 2 doubling that, and version 3 will double it again.
