Seriously if you are going to confuse australia with austria, then confusing swiss with swedish is next in order. And Sweden and Austraalia are so good neighbous they even co-hosted the olympics once (I am not making that part up).
In terms of politics, sure. Einstein was a celebrity and his presence in the USA lent moral support to them. As would having the support of, say, a high-level opera singer or chess player.
Replace Einstein with Niels Bohr then. He left much later living in Denmark which despite being occupied by Nazies refused to discriminate against Jews or people of partial Jewish descent like Bohr, but he did travel to the US to join the Manhattan project after his friend and prodigy Heisenberg came up to Copenhagen and asked weird questions about the physics behind how to build a nuclear bomb.
Antagonizing Bohr was definitely not their best moment, and on the way to the Manhattan project Bohr also helped convince the otherwise Nazi-sympathizing Swedes to accept the Danish Jews in case they needed to be evacuated (which they did a few months later).
Religious charity is not tithing. Tithing is an old name for tax, specifically church tax. Unless it is a tax it is not tithing (tithing btw means 10%).
In the mid 90's you could make out that one team focused on new architecture style features (386, Pentium) while the other was more about performance tweaking (486, Pentium Pro).
Pentium Pro was a completely new design and architecture, in fact the same architecture they are using today, after the failed new architecture used in Pentium4.
X3 and freespace are both space-themed aquarium simulators, you jump between small transparant limited boxes that are obviously filled with water since you for some reason have a top-speed...
There hasn't been an Elite like game since.. well Elite and possible the first of the Privateer games.
Strict Newtonian mechanics does not make for an entertaining game.
Sorry I have to call bullshit on that.
In Newtonian mechanics the absolute speed is IRRELEVANT, some users might get confused by the absolute speed-o-meter, but it has absolutely no impact on the dog-fight. You can subtract the common speed shared between the crafts and just pretend to be operating at low speeds, because this is how Newtonian mechanics work. Everything works the same no matter the absolute speed, and thus the absolute speed is irrelevant and having a unlimited absolute speed does not change ANYTHING in dog fights (though it does make it the occurance of it slightly more unrealistic than it already is, but that is a necessary plot-hole of the genre like suicide bandits in Fallout).
If you have trouble imagining this, then imagine a cmmon dog-fight happening in the skies of earth while the earth is moving at an incredible speed around the sun, does that high speed affect the dog-fight, no? Well no common shared speed affects anything in Newtonian mechanics.
For that to work you would need to ensure ALL company benefits are taxed. Imagine the beaucrazy necessary to put a value on every single thing your company provides for you directly or indirectly. Do I sense you wrong, or do you really want more invasive government oversight of your personal and business life??
Economy plus is 5x the price but with no useful benefits over a normal economy. Usually I just gives you the right to cancel or move your flight, neat when you need it, pointless 99% of the time, and 400% is a lot to pay for a cancel insurance.
No, the untaken business class seats are for people who needs to fly RIGHT NOW, and the 10x price is the price for being guaranteed a seat on the next flight. Note that the seats are handed out for free to frequent fliers as a perk for always flying the same airline.
Coding style has one function and one function only: To keep the Aspergers productive. For normally functioning people, any coding style is as good as any other (in other words anything that isn't a mess), but for Aspergers it is important it is consistant and strictly enforced, otherwise they will complain loudly and start arguing over which style is better (as evidence I present every thread in this story).
After enforcing strict coding style only one more thing is important to keep the Aspergers productive: Never mention or talk about coding style, and forbid anybody from ever bringing it up. If it is brought up, nothing will get done that day.
Scaling is easily handling by almost all GPUs and it works very smooth. You can do using the CPU, a high quality scaling of full HD content at 30fps on an old Pentium 4 (this is what playing video full-screen often does), will consume only 20% CPU. Doing it on the GPU or with a modern CPU much even better.
Not surprising, since you're ignoring the underlying problem. Your 2560x1600 desktop on that 30" LCD is going to kill the ability of your videocard to display a modern game at an acceptable frame rate. Many gamers will not accept windowed half-screen (or whatever fraction is required) gaming on their $1K LCD.
No, you are missing his point. There is no reason the game could not run at a lower resolution and be scaled by the WM, instead relying on the screen to do the rescaling. Only CRTs are able to do rescaling physically, LCDs end up doing it in software anyway and usually in a crappier maner than what the WM could do.
Besides, a good abs system won't trigger unless you lock the brakes
Or you are driving on snow or gravel. The computer can not tell the difference between tires skiding due to near aquaplaning, or skidding due to driving on a loose surface. Any ABS system will go out its way to try to kill you if you do not disable it before driving on snow. Note some ABS system has a 'snow' mode, which is just a safer and more friendly sounding name for off mode.
Spain is a particularly bad example if you believe that massive government deficits caused a crisis, because Spain's government was running at a surplus when the crisis hit.
I think you got your countries mixed up. Spain has relatively low debt, and have had responsible spending, Spains problem is 20+% unemployment. It is countries like Italy and Greece that has spend more money than they have (Spain's debt is at 50% GDP, Italy's at 170%, USA's around 120%, and Greece I can't remember, but it used to be lower than that of Italy, but considered much worse because they export much less).
No. That's with GPS, and that's after the fixes for precision that are necessary because the "high precision" part of U.S. GPS is restricted to military.
No, the obfuscation layer on GPS has been deactivated for almost a decade now. Before then you just needed a terrestrial correction signal which any GSM tower could send. The un-obfuscated signal of GPS is still a lot less precise than Galileo, though GPS planed for upgrades that would put them on par.
Not the same AC here, but I'm pretty sure that post meant that if you are storing music / video directly on the phone, you are not storing it on the sd card, because they are distinctly different items.
You might as well argue the internal harddrive in your PC is a "distinctly different item"(*).
MicroSDs are too small and often difficult to switch to be practical as removable medium. They are in essence upgrade options that you use to upgrade the internal flash capacity. Of course like internal harddrives, you can remove them, but you would still consider anything stored on the internal harddrive stored on the PC.
(*) In the last feature phone I had, the internal storage of the phone was a replaceable SD-card. I upgraded it from 1/2 Gbyte to 16 Gbyte:D
Except that Neanderthals were also homo Sapiens. But they were more primitive in their technology, for whatever reason.
I thought it had been established that Neanderthals had slightly better tools, technology if you want, than contemporary Humans. They were just loners and didn't build societies, and only lived in small family groups, and eventually disapperared as a destinct species.
Except for pedestrians. Fortunately, it only takes a few seconds to transform from cyclist to pedestrian and back to cyclist on the other side. It just seems to silly, so we only do the transformer dance when the police is out being stupid again.
My point was that a ring world can almost be made from the matter of a single solar system. A dyson sphere would require moving in all the planets and all their mass in from hundreds of nearby solar systems.

Wasn't that what they tried this time, but then asked him to lie about how conservative he was?

It is not piracy if you download a file you own, no matter what the source is.

I think you are right, one of those rare cases of not "you hear what you want to", but on the internet "you read what you don't want to" ;)

Yeah, stealing money from people is a victim-less crime... Except of course for the people whose money you stole.
So fuck of troll, of course it influences long term values, the profit they make does not pop out of thin air.
