Around 1980 or so it had succeeded in cleaning automotive exhaust in new cars by a couple of orders of magnitude.
This also explains why a full decade of American cars were complete trash, never lived up to their promises, got worse than advertised fuel milage, were terribly unreliable, and probably did nothing overall for the environment (junk yards would argree). Ahhh, the Chevy 2.8 V6, what sweet sweet memories we have together...
No, it merely recognises the reality of politics and business and, in a way, that our technology and economies are not currently mature enough to support socialistic ideals. One day, in perhap another 1000 years, this will most certainly change.
Humankind can only claim the mantle of superiority when we act with compassion.
Uh, perhaps you should look up "the gun" in an encyclopedia and revisit this issue.
Does this mean that even though microsoft cleaned up the code that was used by MSBlast as a backdoor, they still overlooked some code in the same region?
Given the MS cut-n-paste culture some people have written about, I think they overlooked at least a dozen other instances of the bug.
Plus it's quite decent for towing; though admittedly not as good as a V6 or a diesel.
At least on recent Subaru Legacy wagons, you are aware they are rated only for Class 1 loads (1,000lb trailer with no brakes, 2,000 lb trailer with brakes--from memory, double-check the manual). Even if you put a Class 2 hitch on them, the weight limit in the owner's manual still applies. However, I would agree that they would pull relatively small utility trailers with no problems at all.
According to the other posts, you haven't owned one for 15 years, either! Comparing a 1989 Subaru to a 2003 Subaru is laughable. I've done research, and the discussion groups and editorials I read have practially nothing to say negatively about Subarus. Also, no other manufactuer offers capable AWD in a car/station-wagon platform. Everyone else is building 4500 lb. SUVs, because that's what they think customers want.
From what I've seen, the limiting factor in the Subarus is leg room and the clearance under the steering wheel. For average-sized people, the Subaru Legacy/Outback is just fine and quite comfortable, but if you take a person whose legs are 3" longer, then they will have to tilt up the steering wheel just to clear it when getting in. I've never ridden in a Forrester, but they don't look bigger lengh/width wise relative to the Legacy (only in height).
MIcropayments are based on trust, and that's in pretty short supply online.
If you used a distributed trust mechanism (not Passport!) that authenticated both buyer and seller, perhaps a sufficient paper trail can be established so that persistent fraud can be more easily detected. I wonder if this would ultimately result in micropayment systems becoming part of a credit-reporting system like we have for credit cards & loans, where buyers and sellers can set thresholds to prevent transactions with "bad apples".
If instead of "News article ----- $0.01" it said "News Article, Jack the Ripper Rip-off Artist, 100 Elm St., Calgary, New Mexico -- $0.01", then things could be better for the buyer. Anonymity is not expected in other business transactions, so micropayments should be held to no lower a standard simply because they are small.
I wonder if there's ever been any objective study to show that people *don't* work as effectively when they know they are amoebas under microscopic management.
However I can understand Microsoft's reaction from a business point of view.
Why? Even a business as large as Microsoft needs to have some modesty, when China, for example, is among the largest and most powerful nations on the planet. Microsoft is like a little puppy tugging at a 400lb. man's pants, here.
GNU/Linux being "un-American" and "a threat from Asia against our economy"
I'd like to see them make this case, given Linux was invented in northern Europe and probably has developers from every populated continent. Also, a disporportional number of those developers are AMERICAN. Even Linus Torvalds now lives in the USA.
I also never send email when I can just pick up a phone or walk over to the person and talk to them. No PDA, no instant messaging, no cruft whatsoever.
I agree that IM is stupid. However, e-mail is better than a phone call, due to it being a running transcript of the conversation. I find it frustrating to work with people who will talk only over the phone, as many decisions get lost to memory with no text to back them up. If phone conversations are then follow-up with person-to-person discussion with a whiteboard, then that is better--as long as someone takes notes about the whiteboard.
Books don't ALL cost 20 bucks (in fact much much less normally) and there isn't just one page that is good.
And, it's only the dime-a-dozen modern authors' books that come out for $25 in hard back, anyway. I don't remember paying anything other than standard paper-back prices for Issac Asimov's work or Heinlein's work, for example, and these books are often mind-bending. The only thing that gets bent by modern RIAA bikini-clad one-hit-wonders isn't exactly in the vincinity of a brain...

"The only thing worse than not following a methodology is rigidly following the wrong methodology."
Especially when the authors of the notation are arrogant enough to claim it is "unified".

It is morally bankrupt.

You do realize that SUV's are not superior in snow, don't you?
The Subaru Legacy/Outback is not an SUV. It is a sedan/station-wagon that has AWD.
You've obviously never owned a Subaru.

a few extra inches of headroom.

vi is the best.
My vi is much better than your vi. I'm sorry to make this a vi VS vi issue, but your claims forced me to speak up.
Because parents do not want child-molesting, drug-dealing, TB-infected people working around their children.
Then, why were you hired?
Ba-dum-bum.
I think it's a very good thing that they have background checks in place.
Also be thankful that you're paying $3 per pill! If you didn't have insurance or medicaid, you'd be broke! LOL!
Could your company afford to make 100,000,000,000 pills with urine in them?
Realistically? Yes.
Politically? No.
Urine isn't anything special (it ain't poop, you know).
I wonder if there's ever been any objective study to show that people *don't* work as effectively when they know they are amoebas under microscopic management.
I believe that study is called "History."
religious views are his primary guide
"Burning Bush" in the dictionary: "GWB with VD."
"Buuuuussssssshhhhhh" in the dictionary: "Montezuma's Revenge"
What a great name!
Still can't masturbate in the privacy of my cube without someone complaining to HR. The terrorists have already won...
The keyboards! Won't someone think of the keyboards!!!

Finally, a game that lets people explore the old saying, "If we built bridges like we do software...."
Yeah, cars are dangerous, but do you expect the dealership to teach you how to drive?
At least, I don't have to take my car to the dealer every week to have it fixed.
Computer experts are investigating whether a worm that takes advantage of a flaw in the Windows operating system might be to blame.
Why not? Microsoft has already bribed or bullied its way into every other industry, local, state, and federal governments, and the military.
You don't know any poor people, do you?
That is a question best directed at the exective and legislative branches of our Federal Government.

There's no need to insult me by calling me a Republican!
