When you are paying for my gasoline, I will let you choose what speed I decide to move at on the road. Here our speed limit is set to 70. I get better gas mileage at 65. Everyone else goes 83 except truckers, I guess gas just is not high enough for people who speed.
Fine, just stay out of the left lane.
The "Speed Limit" is not the "Minimum Required Speed"
Sure, but it is the expected speed in good conditions.
Remember the speed limit is created as the maximum safe speed for a given length of road on favorable conditions. So I continue to ask everyone, what is your hurry?
The speed limit is often political, and is defined for the crappiest car that's road worthy - drive a uhaul truck at the speed limit and it's a whole lot more risk than my WRX going 10 (or 25) over. I'm not in a hurry, but I like to drive fast.
For all those who are wondering about why people tend (see that 40% thing again) to speed up while you are passing them?
Because some people don't want to drive fast, but can't stand the idea of someone passing them. Pretty messed up, really.
A well-trained cursive writer easily beats someone well-trained at writing in print.
Nice, so a person who doesn't beat a print writer is by definition not well trained. Never mind that cursive is primarily useful for writing with a fountain pen, and almost nobody uses them regularly.
Near as I can tell, people fall in love with the fast cars when they're young and can't afford it, then buy them when they get money (and are usually older). That's why most corvette buyers are over 50. Hopefully, I can get my 911 before gray hair - I can always buy an older one.
Unless your copy was an unlicensed one from some white-box builder who also "gives" you a "free" (pirated/cracked) copy. Maybe along with a bunch of "free" games, and a "free" copy of Office.
When you total up the $25-30 a large mfr. pays for a windows license and the money they get for the crapware they load on your new PC, windows might be a net negative cost.
Case in point: the "YOUR CAR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED" calls that seem to be coming out of Florida and only recently ended because some attorneys general got tired of all the complaints and opened an investigation.
No, it was because one of them called a senator while he was on the senate floor. State AGs only got involved after.
So? Separate out the phone financing. It should have been separate all along. It can share the bill with the service, but you should be able to drop the service part and either buy out the phone or continue the financing deal.
That's actually easy - buy a cell phone and split its cost over 12 months, so that $150 phone you want is now $12.50 extra/month. You cell bill goes down by $10-15, so it's a wash unless you keep your phone 4 years like some do. Making the financed balance due on contract termination would fix the problem with deadbeats (or at worst be as bad as today)
You do realize that putting it on the strip makes it feasible to record the addresses of every bargoer in your establishment, while writing that stuff down is far too slow and obvious, right? The OCR thing might work, but it's far more hassle than you think.
In point of fact, at least 2 of those 3 people were first among many: newton invented calculus, but so did liebniz. Einstein came up with special relativity, but it was hardly isolated. Basically, my point is that the myth of the lone inventor is exactly a myth. Your ideas are frequently the 'next step' after what's already happened. Execute and try to be 6 months to a year ahead of things and you'll do well.
the new AMD chips can do this, but apparently it isn't quite as responsive as they'd like. Perhaps exposing hooks to allow the OS to control this would work better.
And he is a football player, a male with a presumably (possibly very) high weight.
Irrelevant. Blood volume is almost wholly dependent on height, so it's reasonable to guess it around 5-6 beers. It's certainly impaired, but the burden is on the state to prove that the impairment is what caused the crash, and when he claims that the person darted into the road (which I've seen too many times) and when he stayed at the scene and called the cops himself, it's a hard thing to prove.
So yes, he was drunk behind the wheel and killed someone, but this isn't something to get all outraged over.
According to what I found, some ran in front of him on a road where he was speeding (50 in a 40 - I do that). He then stopped and called the cops immediately - this is hardly a drunk hit and run you're trying to imply. His BAC was fairly high -.126, but there's not much proof that it would've been different had he been sober.

Not really. English dictionaries only track usage - they can't be authoritative because there's no central authority. English is defined as what most of its speakers say it is.
never EVER take net points with a movie. gross points are the only ones of value as no movie EVER makes money due to hollywood accounting.
They've found a way around gross points too: sell rights to a subsidiary with closed bidding for under market rates. You don't get to totally screw the artist, but you can reduce his payout substatntially.
Once that serial number is registered, selling the CD doesn't do any good at all. And game companies are under no obligation to allow you to transfer that serial number to someone else.
I'm not sure about here, but in the EU, where citizens actually count for a damn, they'll probably impose that burden on copyright holders - you know, the idea that you, as the holder of some copyrighted work have the right to resell it to someone else with the expectation that they have the same utility as if they'd bought it new. Allowing companies to effectively legislate themselves new rights by deliberately collaring their products is wrong and should be seen as an abdication of copyright.
Hey, as soon as I can do something akin to remote hosted agents, I won't need a powerful desktop. I figure we'll get something like that in a decade or two, but until then I have to do a lot of things myself.
wait, how is it the responsible of every user to know that WEP has been dead for 8 years? Regardless, this won't help you if someone sets up a rogue AP and collects passwords and credit cards.

The one thing I regret is that I've never been able to take the S curves between 270 and 95 at 70 - always some idiot doing 50.

I routinely drive my jeep 50mph in a 55mph zone. Don't know why, i just do.
I'll bet it's the gearing - don't jeeps have a top speed of 90 and really low 1st gear?
That sounds exactly like what we have today.
release? You mean fire, right? It's unpleasant, but that's no reason to make up new euphenisms for it.

Hail Eris, indeed.
Using women or blacks as an example and how they're allowed to make jokes that others aren't is a specious argument;
Not at all. If women can make sexist jokes that a man couldn't, it's a double standard, which is what we're trying to avoid.

How is this any concern to theresearchers? Perhaps after getting nailed a few times, banks will improve quality.
well, S. Korea's independence day is next week, so maybe they're off by a week.
since all south korean online banking is done with windows computers, friday will seriously suck.
