Unfortunately, replacing the black and color ink cartridges costs $81.92 + tax at the local store! That so bad that I got a replacement printer that's just as good and spare ink for less.
Many other people brought this up, but if you read the OP you should notice that they did get replacement cartridges in addition to a printer. Assuming old-printer-replacement cartridge and new-printer-replacement cartridge can print the same amount, then they were clearly taking the less expensive route.
Why failures at reading comprehension are awarded Informative and Insightful is beyond me...
IIRC: In the EU, certain things must be proven safe before it can be sold; in the US, it can be sold before it is determined safe (but technically the company is liable).
I did not investigate this specific technology (others claim it is a 3-inch compression), I had heard talk of using peizoelectric plates and thought this is what was being used.
What some people seem to be forgetting is that a normal road surface is deformed when a car drives over it.
If these "kinetic plates" respond to the weight of a vehicle in the same manner as the traditional road surface, then no new stress is imposed on the vehicle, and energy that would other wise be wasted in the deformation of the road would be put to work driving electrons.
Yes, I recall a graph of traffic fatalities per distance traveled; in the 1970s, France and Japan had 2-3 times the fatalities as the US and some other countries. Either everyone was enjoying drunk-driving or their cars lacked the safety features you mentioned.
Walking has costs, too.
Increased wear on shoes and socks, for those that wear them.
Increased food consumption (unless your drive is very exciting).
Do not forget the environmental impact as well, due to CO2 from respiration.
Something was wrong with your monitor or your settings or the software producing your image. Did you have a good 17~19" CRT?
Sycraft-fu was commenting on old, low resolution displays. The kind that were put in arcade machines and TVs of that era are worlds apart from the last generation of CRTs.
BF: Vietnam, BF2, and BF2142 (did I miss any) failed to draw my interest. I did not like that Vietnam and BF2 were rip-offs of popular mods (not certain if 2142 was, as well).
BF1942 and the expansion Road to Rome were very enjoyable, especially with friends. Bad Company offered an entertaining single player.
Solely relying on robots for exploration will breed a society with little to no desire to ever send humans into space. After all, if robots can do practically everything humans can do, what is the point in ever taking the risk of sending "meat puppets"?
Yeah, because we all want to live in a state of fear induced by inconsistent enforcement of the law. But hey, we have "disorderly conduct" which can cover any behavior.
Systems with a closed set of rules are unfair to those not party to the rules.
Systems with fully transparent rules are unfair to those not interested or skilled at minimizing and maxing.
If this perpetuates to 1024^25 or 26, then we will only be getting 50%.
When do we make our stand?

It might sell more units to the average consumer and allow for actual storage figures to be printed on the package.
When I was on jury duty (case settled soon after it began), I inquired about this. It turns out that the defense/prosecution tends to use nullification as a bargaining chip (if the defense doesn't tell the jury, the prosecution will not do X[I forget exactly what]). The defense would have to have some pretty strong feelings to base a case largely on the hope of jury nullification; as such, we tend not to hear that much about it.
Well you see, that is why the parent put that last bit in bold, because Daniel Tammet can recall that many places. As in from memory. He can probably calculate out to the 40,000th place in a bit of time given what he can do with the roots.
Could you find a site with the 40,000th digit faster then Daniel Tammet could calculate it out, in the early 90s when the episode aired?
Yeah, got the game, spent a long time installing it, can I play yet? No! Steam Updating, this it taking forever, 30 minutes for 24% complete. Maybe it is my school connection and port limitations.

Having not read the book, I have to gauge it by its title. "Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man". Well, 3 of those things are obvious, so why did they waste the space in writing that he is "Big", "Fat", and "White"? In Moore's book of a not to dissimilar title "Stupid White Men", the title implies that the book will be about stupid white men, it is not directly in reference to anyone in particular solely based on the title.
I think that these authors are just attempting to capitalize on the success of Moore's book, while trying to get their views out there.
Personaly, I like titles that do not jump the gun and are attacks directly at certain persons.

Also, where is all this paint coming from? What are the environmental and economic impacts of making all of this paint?

Reprocess the material instead of putting it in puzzle boxes. Deep storage is like throwing a car away instead of changing the spark plugs.

The companies could easily be in the red just by giving out billion dollar bonuses. After all, a bonus is just another part of the operation cost.
Record Profit + Record Salaries = Record Exploitation
Passenger =/= Baggage
...at least I hope so...

Everything is nonsense! Humans create and apply meaning to things.
Imagine if the Iraq war budget was spent on this project instead?

Be happy you get two packets. Here in Japan, you usually get one(1) packet, that is, if they even decide to give you any at all.
