Oh, and all the power sockets in the house are at floor level, not convenient waist or hand height.
They're supposed to be on the floor. What's convenient about having wires hanging all over your walls? I can understand them being at waist height in a kitchen, but anywhere else it's just asking for trouble.
I hardly think its blindly kowtowing to authority to think that the government agency in charge of road safety knows better where speed cameras are needed than some random vandals who have just decided that a speed camera isn't necessary.
The government agencies know where speed cameras are needed...to generate the most revenue. Otherwise, they'd put them on dangerous roads, and outside schools and hospitals, rather than on safe, non-pedestrianised roads which have never seen an accident.
the SCPs don't keep the money from fines
Then why don't they place the cameras in places with high accident rates caused by speeding, rather than deviously putting them in safe places which generate the most hits?
(especially cyclists, pedestrians and those with children) don't want you bombing down what is equally their road at 95mph.
Cyclists and pedestrians don't pay road tax. As a motorist I have the greatest right to use that road, and if it's safe to drive on said road at 50mph, why should I be forced to drive at 30?
If speed limits are about safety, why do completely identical roads often have vastly different speed limits and speed camera placements? I can bomb down a winding road full of blind corners at 60mph legally, but can only go at 30 on a dual carriageway. Then I can go onto the next dual carriageway and do 50, even though the circumstances are exactly the same.
The UK government places these in accident-prone areas
No, they're not put in accident-prone areas, as people generally don't speed there, so they wouldn't make any money. Speed cameras are usually on safe roads with unnaturally low speed limits.
I.e. you can drive at 50mph past a school with no speed camera in sight, yet a straight, four-lane dual-carriageway with no pedestrians has a 30mph limit and speed cameras all over the place.
They are not in any way a violation of civil liberties because doing 80 through a residential area is not any kind of right
You won't find speed cameras where people do 80mph through a residential area, you'll find them on a steep, downward slope on a straight, safe road where people do 35mph. That's where the money is.
It doesn't work like that, 120 calories a day is nothing. Eating an apple pretty much cancels that out.
And it's 3500 calories per pound, so you'd only lose 8 pounds in a year. Of course this is assuming you don't do something wreckless like drink a glass of milk or eat a slice of bread which completely cancels out your day's 'exercise'.
Flash Video files are the easiest to pull from a website; I've yet to find an embedded Flash Video file I could not save to disk.
Flash videos don't often save well, often it won't save the whole thing, and that's with both using an extension to grab it or getting it from the cache.
And you've missed the point entirely, the point in flash video isn't to stop people saving them, it's to let people watch them. Many video sites have links to download them.
And don't flame me. TV is the major issue with American obesity, particularly in children.
I'm pretty sure that eating too much is the major issue with American obesity. You get just as fat sitting at the computer as you do in front of the TV.
You can exercise all you want, but if you eat a 14" pizza for dinner washed down with ten pints of beer, and have a full fry up every breakfast, combined with KFC for lunch, you'll be obese.
Sounds like the world's most boring flight simulator. Let's face it, the only fun parts of a flight simulator are taking off and landing, and in this Hindenburg thing you can't do either. And you can't travel at any fun speed either.
I can assure you, it isn't. Maybe when I see people staying up till 5am to watch a chess match on PPV, and people paying £1000 for a season ticket to a computer game team, then I'll admit that being a nerd is socially encouraged.
I have to both agree and disagree. While education is certainly the largest facet of an individual's "intelligence," it isn't everything. It is not unreasonable to assume that at least part of an individual's intellectual potential is inherited.
The problem there, is you're assuming that these intelligent people who refuse to breed are genetically intelligent, rather than just being products of a priviledged, educated background, and that the rednecks breeding like rabbits are genetically unintelligent, rather than just products of their trailor-park backgrounds.
Who knows, maybe if you took a redneck kid at birth and sent him to private school in a middle-class neighbourhood, he might end up more intelligent than someone who refuses to breed, killing off his genetic line, because of 'the economy'.
It seems the whole film is based upon a somewhat flawed premise.
In the US, UK and other countries with a "first past the post" scheme, the whole system is perpetually rigged in favour of two parties.
And in countries with proportional representation, the system is perpetually rigged in favour of the party system, with politicians accountable only to the whips rather than their constituents. In the first past the post system, every single area of the country is directly represented in the legislative.
If they have money like this to throw around, then I don't see why Britain should have to give back our rebate. Still, better spending the money on this, than subsidising French farmers to go on strike.
If you spent more than one second looking at the site, you'd find that you can download the episodes as wmvs. And you don't need that bittorrent which is blocked or throttled by many ISPs.
No. E-Books has been buried for long enough. It is time to accept this technology into our lives.
E-books are a solution looking for a problem. They only keep being pushed so manufacturers can make more money. As far as I'm concerned they can keep being buried.
Where do you live, exactly? It sounds like you merely live in a town where public transit is woefully poor - which is not indicative of what public transit can do.
Oh no, there are busses every ten minutes, which is great if you're going directly into or out of the town centre. Absolutely useless for getting anywhere else. And they don't run early in the morning or late at night, which as a shiftworker means busses are no use to me.
There is a bus stop right outside where I live, and right outside where I work. Unfortuanately there are no busses going between said stops... And how exactly do I take a box of beer as well as a few bags of shopping on the bus?
What a surprise, technological breakthroughs only occuring in place with technology. Who'd have thought that these innovations wouldn't be relevant to countries that can't even last five years without a military coup?
I won't shed any tears if breakthroughs don't happen for people who consider it a valid aspect of war to shoot children in the vagina, or that raping babies cures aids. No, let's keep the innovation for civilised places that actually have law and order.

That's a great idea, if not for the lack of over the air HD broadcasts.

What makes you think they're not building more reactors? Perhaps you should read some of the links on the right hand side of that article.

As a licence-payer, I don't give a shit about what perl modules the BBC use on their websites.

If you can do that with a turkey, you may as well do it with a chicken. If turkey was that good, people would eat it more than once a year.
