"Representation" means there is a representative from your jurisdiction in government. It doesn't necessarily mean they represent your personal views, it means they represent *someone's* views from your jurisdiction.
If there is no representative then *no one* is represented and that is what the revolution was all about: the colonies had no voting representation in British Parliament.
Being literate means that you can use something to perform its intended task.
Knowing how to drive a car. How to fill up the fuel tank. How to lock it. Knowing how to operate a microwave. Set the timer. Choose the power level. Knowing how to read a book. Write sentences. Etc.
Since when did you have to know how to operate a printing press to be considered literate?
Being IT literate simply means that you know how to use IT to perform tasks. Is that too much to ask?
The SR-71 didn't use ram jets. It used a special moveable inlet cone to control the velocity and flow characteristics of the air entering a conventional turbojet.
Well no, that's theft and you should be charged as such.
If he sold you the doodle for five minutes of his hourly rate then you went and sold it for a million bucks, that's his problem and he needs to suck it up: obviously you were a better salesman.
If I understand correctly, US law requires companies with more than 500 investors to *publish their finances*, but they don't have to have public shares.
On the other hand, TBL arguing that the patent, if valid, would be a problem for the web, amounts to further evidence that the patent was unique, inventive, non-obvious, non-trivial, and fully patent worthy. He essentially made an impassioned plea for something akin to Jury Nullification.
Seriously? How about "the patent, if valid, would be a problem for the web, amounts to further evidence that the patent was ubiquitous, uninventive, obvious, trivial, and fully un-patent-worthy."

Last time I checked, Rolls, Bentley, BMW, helicopters, etc are all sold by dealers in the US. It doesn't matter where they are built, it's where they are bought. If you buy a vehicle out of country and import it, you have to pay duty and taxes on its value anyway. The government definitely gets their sales tax.
Actually, the flex fuel setup is not a compromise in terms of timing and mixture...an E85 vehicle has a ratio sensor in the fuel line that tells the ECU how much ethanol there is in the fuel. The ECU in turn advances timing and leans mixture when practical.
The issue is that thermodynamics still win out. If a car isn't turbocharged or stupidly high compression, being able to advance timing and run leaner isn't much of an advantage at all.
Even in a turbocharged car, during cruise you can already lean and advance the engine like crazy with regular gasoline as there is very little load on it.
The ONLY advantage to E85 is at WOT in a turbocharged or high compression engine, and most people don't spend much time at WOT.
When a radioactive element decays it does not fizzle into two new elements, it decays into a single, lower atomic mass element. The radiation isn't even necessarily the same type. A lot of decaying elements produce Alpha radiation, which can be stopped by a piece of paper and is only dangerous if ingested. They can still produce a lot of heat, but it's not the same as a nuclear *fission reaction*.
Is there some official time limit to the relevance of a quote? Does this mean that "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety," is automatically irrelevant just because it is old?
Yes, I know, the OP is a movie quote, but still....seriously?

For one thing it's an exclusivity contract, and bigamy is criminal...
Uhh...dead animals definitely serve a purpose...as food.
I don't think you realize how inaccurate an ICBM is. There is a reason they only make nuclear ones.

They aren't actually palm, they are cabbage trees that were imported from New Zealand. Key word *imported*.
The thing is though, someone else could patent the improvement first and they would be dead in the water. Why doesn't this happen more often?

V isn't pronounced "w" in German, it's pronounced "f".
As in "Folksvagen"
By the way, "volks" means "people's". Very similar to "folk's" in English. Gee, I wonder where we got the word from!
And Wagen...wagon
English is such a thief :D
Google DNS uses anycast, which should actually give you a DNS server right close to you.
What happens when you get a bad tank of gas and your car won't run? You have to drain the tank (usually pay a mechanic) and refill it.
I wouldn't expect it to be much different in inconvenience to require exchanging for another battery pack and tagging it as bad when you exchange it.
My sarcasm detector is going off...
Central bank loans are virtual money anyway, so it doesn't matter.
AC means that the jails and prisons are already being overrun...
Yes, a shoplifter doesn't have any fewer rights than a murderer...
People plead guilty without plea bargains, you know.

I know the idea is funny, but judges aren't elected.
It's only possible if you have physical control of the hardware at both ends. As soon as the hardware is compromised, all bets are off.
There are plenty of compromised credit card/debit terminals that have been used to skim card data and PINs.

A total of about 200 million pounds per year, for all British monarchy combined. Most of it is for security and support staff.
They are also independently wealthy, and the Queen pays income tax on all of her estate's private income (has since 1992).
How much does the government spend on protecting and transporting former Presidents, congresscritters, political candidates, etc?
