You forget that the US's lack of standardization in length measurement has led to major equipment failures, such as the lost Mars probe? Making US industry use standards is NIST's primary job. Go read their congressional mission statement in the main lobby.

We pros still de-lid and polish back circuits for reverse-engineering. These days, instead of an optical microscope, you need an SEM to do it. The principle is still the same.
It's not style, it's SUV protection. Their high bumpers tend to decapitate in T-bones. Thus, to meet side-impact NHTSA standards, your car is now a reinforced bathtub with very little visibility. But hey, you're safer!
Ah, but the long line is for the "opt-out" people. Therefore, those who refuse to submit will be the ones blown up, not the sheep going through the scanners.
Simply include "-site:.com" as a term in your next search. Or maybe "+site:=.edu" as a term. Both have been available for years, and both will help you avoid the spam sites.

Because thrift store and libraries do not exist simply to collect, store, and present the books to be used for purely commercial purposes. After all, the library and thrift store could easily do the same thing to make money. There is professional licensing for such arbitrageurs – for example auctioneers, who pays licensing fees, etc. These sales are not there to enrich you. They are there to find a good home for donated books, to provide work opportunities for people that might not otherwise have them, and to survive as organizations doing work for the public good.
Savitz's regular use of this resource to supply his commercial enterprise is unethical and is probably illegal. Is he registered in his state as a profit-making enterprise? Does he collect appropriate sales taxes on his sales? Does he compensate the library and thrift store for their labor? Does he report this income on his IRS-1040?
If my donations to Goodwill were destined only to line someone's pockets, I would quit donating used articles and instead destroy and discard them.
Hollywood will buy up the talent to keep them from producing anything worthwhile, so that the typical "Hollywood" movies can keep the mainstream public's attention.

Using logic with those who don't "believe in" (i.e. trust) logic and reason dooms you to failure.
NOTE: Never argue with an ignorant man, for he is impenetrable to all reason.
Amazing bits of history in this thread...

Delicate work, but quite amazing results.
I donated, for the second time this year.
And for you "anti-elitists," tons of Wikipedia article contributors and editors are college students, grad students, and some professors (like me).

The cars are easily set to charge at night, when load is low. It's also when utility rates are lower in some areas.

Bit ironic, dontcha think?
Well, yahoos remove civilized folks from the equation, too, y'know.
Or am I just feeding a troll here?
I did otherwise. It is a beautiful thing.
Our children will no longer be able to smoothly transition from the high chair to a regular chair without the phone book.
And what to use for haircuts?
It's an animatronic, not a robot. The kind that theme parks have.
People quickly become remarkably good at spotting the obvious sponsored results from the genuine ones.
Yes, and people quickly learn that a particular search engine provides no useful results, because they can "spot obvious sponsored results."
When the top 100 results are all spam (e.g. Yahoo, Lycos, etc.), people simply quit using the search engine.
Simply include "-site:.com" as a term in your next search. Or maybe "+site:=.edu" as a term. Both have been available for years, and both will help you avoid the spam sites.
Easy.

"web sites"
Does this mean that wen sites will no longer have rollover images?
Thank you God.
How do I incorporate my company in that district without actually having to live there?
Why are you buying a case for your iPhone?!?
It's designed to slip into your pocket/purse. It's small, smooth, and fits.
Why people want to put their iPods and iPhones into rubber cases (for years now) is something that escapes me.
Do you wrap your children in rubber?
Why should they waste any effort in vetting third-party products?
If something is an Apple product, you expect things to work together seamlessly (although oddly this principle doesn't apply to other companies).
If it's a "third party" thingy, then all they can do is verify that it will fit on your stupid phone, not block the plugs, and not goof up reception.
They are not the cops of the world. Nor should they be. There is no more that any manufacturer can do for you, the lazy consumer.

This is why you stick your paper statements into a folder. "Just in case." It doesn't take much space.
Or if you insist on a tech solution, many companies will PDF + OCR all of your bills and email them to you. I assume you already back up regularly...
Go see a therapist, who can help you cope, and guide you in being supportive to your wife and children during this difficult time.
This is her time, not yours.
The operator only need take out his cell phone to snap a picture of the system's screen while he is looking at it.
If a human eye can see (or hear) something, it can be recorded. Some call it the analog hole.
