Well, it wouldn't work in the whole city, but most cities are build in districts, so you could make each district a traffic sign free zone, but keep the through roads signed (and with seperate bicycle lanes).
This is actually the approach taken by some Dutch cities, appaerently with much success.
(I don't entirely agree on the approach, I prefer making with signs and other barricades a hell for cars to travel inside the city blocks at all, while keeping it simple for bicycles. This is for example done with bicycle privilidged streets, one way streets (not applying to cyclists) and dead end roads which do have a bicycle lane leading on.)
The bad guys run KDE, the good guys run GNOME (or was it the other way around) and the source code shown is from an actual program (bzip2 implementation that is embedded in some KDE filemanager iirc) and even the IDE exists.
The only shame is the amount of buzzwording at the company (although all things really exist, including the translator/adapter for mobile devices, friend of mine actually was working on something like that) and the HTML in the opening.
Ofcourse this is also the only movie that gives credits to the people who wrote the software.
In all current plans for nuclear fusion powerplants (using neutron producing near future fuels) they include the use of materials like tungsten that are very low in amount of activation. This causes the longest duration radioactive materials to only be hazardous for under 300 years, which is a quite managable life span.

That would be a very bad idea, you need to be able to identify yourself in a foreign country (and even inside your own country for many of them (Holland from 1st of january, Belgium, etc). Also hotels but more so campings require you to leave some form of legal ID with them.
Not the last time in Finland, the only real amount of steam is sweat and a little bit of water to keep the air from being too dry. Wish I had the time to then jump in the frozen lake, but I could only take a nice shower.
While water pumping was their primairy use there where also alot of other windmills in Holland, including grain and saw mills

That is because international shipping companies do not like having to figure out if a given radioactive material is legal to import in the US, you can quite happily buy them in the US afaik, (or for me in the UK) but the shipping is a pain in the rear end
Nope, Europe has a different standard, DVB, with variants for sattelite (DVB-S) which has been in use since 1993 or so, terrestrial (DVB-T) and cable (DVB-C), all share the same higher layers, (MPEG2 packet framing, encryption, etc) and mainly differ in the physical layer and error correction (the DVB-S and -C don't have to care as much for multipath). The packet format is flexible enough to contain nearly any payload, including TCP/IP and now includes a standard for upstream traffic aswell on DVB-C and DVB-S.
I met the maintainer once (although he lives relativly close), nice guy, but I kinda think this is just a useless move to annoy him, there are many fully binary only modules out there and he makes the effort to make opensource what he can (NDA) but provides a binary only module (on his own website) to add some more functionality (larger image/higher fps).
The first five or so would still rate higher and it is not like South Korea and The Netherlands are city states (although sometimes.nl where I live does feel like it)
The keyboard has a small microcontroller and the protocol the keyboard uses with the PC is quite tricky and usually the check to see if a keyboard is plugged in (PS/2 and AT) includes protocol checks so you might aswell solder the chip free from a keyboard and stick it with a plug in a housing. BTW, if you are asking this correctly the system is NOT legacy-free, legacy-free would mean no PS/2 plugs.
The main problem is that phones and phone batteries have a limited life time (usually 3 to 7 years) after which they start giving problems up to dieing (ofcourse not if you treat it perfectly, but who does), it is the only reason why I went through 3 phones in 5 years.
Actually Burt Rutan has already flown a test re-entry verhicle (well, high drop from a plane) that used a lifting body design combined with a steerable parafoil, it came down to a relativly clean touch down in the desert all according to plan (well, the verhicle isn't meant for precision navigation as it is an escape verhicle, but it still went down nice horizontally and without self-destructing)
I wonder if there is any sane place to move to anymore. I am probably not the only one who has said that he would move if the EU becomes just as fucked up as the US, I mean I am in Holland, one of the nicer countries in this world, but it is getting majorly fucked up by both EU and the local goverment, so is there anywhere left to go ?, Canada maybe ?

Quoting about graph theory (to be exact 4 colour theorem): "a good mathematical proof is like a poem--this is a telephone directory!"
Not sure who wrote it, but the 4 colour theorem was the first computer aided proof.
And I am afraid I have to agree.

If you read the NASA website link to it you would learn that the whiskers grow through thin coatings, like for example paint
I find windmill parks quite beautiful, although here they are often at the edge of industrial areas and along dikes/dams (Holland)

Not true with DVD's, instead of a thick base and a thin lacquer top DVD's have a sandwich of polycarbonate, with the data inbetween.

In the EU such kits are availible, mostly from cellphone companies like Ericsson, but some cars also have the option of such a BT kit.

Well, if the french are intelligent they will just be inspired by some countries north of them and eat them with mayonaise, jummy :)

Ahwell, it is hosted at the university AT works at, so they are prolly getting free or nearly free bandwidth.
