Homeowner associations can be good, but they cause their own problems. Some are essentially micro-tyrannies, where, for instance, you are forbidden to use any but one lawn care service, or make your house look nicer than your neighbor's.
I get about 200 channels on cable. If Tech TV pulls in 1 viewer in 200, it's doing average, and an owner who kills it is a fool. If it can't draw 1 in 200, that's pathetic and it needs to improve or go away.
Better yet, we have Julius Caesar's own writing, his account of his military adventures.
Christianity is a massive fraud. Many cities cited in the biblical "history" of Christ have been proven by archaeological evidence not even to have existed during his alleged lifetime.
When gold ownership was made legal in the USA in the 1970s, the price was $75 per ounce, now $300+. White bread, $.20-$.25 per one pound loaf, now $1.00+. Gasoline $.35, now $1.50. Et cetera.
The color (P22) phosphors have changed over time. The original phosphors produced purer colors but couldn't produce a bright red. In the late 60's(?) "rare-earth" phosphors were introduced, producing brighter but less pure colors. In my opinion, this was not an improvement.
Estate executors and inheritors are often immensely ignorant of the content and value of the estate. Several years may elapse before such value is understood. It hardly seems right that heirs should be required to find, evaluate, and quickly pay to extend the copyright.
Ashcroft lost because his opponent died. Ashcroft was leading in the polls before the death. The resultant vote was a completely irrational sympathy vote.
That said, I agree that Ashcroft is a nutcase, and a dangerous one.
Most states have sales tax, New York and nearby Connecticut are both above 5% IIRC. New Hampshire, where I live, has no sales tax (except on restaurant meals and lodging), but the low population density means there aren't a lot of stores competing for low prices.
If you've got a solid, obvious case against a big corporation that can and will lawyer you to death, buy insurance to protect you from legal costs. If you can't convince an insurer to back you, you can't convince a jury either.
You haven't done any development of complicated ICs, have you? Getting a new chip to run even partially is a major accomplishment. Following revisions are used to get it fully working, and when it's "close enough" samples are released. After it's fully working it may be revised to improve performance if there is an extreme market demand for higher performance, but only rarely to make it smaller (i.e. cheaper) until a process shrink is available.
Possibly, troubleshooting circuits might be incorporated in early revisions and removed later, but they don't make an IC "more robust". Mask sets are very expensive for advanced processes, so they won't be made to remove a small amount of cost.
Yast has been a disaster for me. I've tried 2 different SUSE versions, tried installing SUSE Linux perhaps 30 times. Yast acts like it's self-modifying code created by a random number generator, never behaving the same way twice. For me, Mandrake has been the easiest to install, but I ended up with Red Hat because it was the first distribution to finally be just barely acceptable for my hardware.
Voting a year - or three years - after your rights have been violated is mostly futile. Unless you are prepared to set aside years of your life to a crusade to convince legislators and hundreds of other people to set things right, your indignation will be meaningless and your vote an epsilon.
Anyone who says that has no understanding of the concept "rights." Freedom is the proper state of a human; it cannot be bestowed, only taken away (rightly or wrongly) or restored.
$40 for a good ATX power supply is nothing you should complain about. It's a great deal; look at all the parts in it and think about what happens if it fails. I shudder to think of the shortcuts that must be taken to get a PC power supply for $11 retail.
Nonetheless, CompUSA can be ripoff central; I've bought cables at Radio Shack for half what CompUSA charges.
Sorry, but in the "near field" the SPL does not fall off much with distance. Near field means approximately less than half a radian, 5 feet at 20 Hz or 1/16th inch at 20 kHz: 1.5 m and 1.5 mm respectively.
In California, modified cars must meet legal specs and use parts approved by the California Air Resources Board. All cars not classified as antiques must pass emissions tests every two years. Many other states have similar laws, particularly those controlled by "liberals".
Modern muscle cars are more powerful off the showroom floor than those of 40 years ago. The horsepower ratings are fairly honest. In 1960, 10% horsepower exaggeration was officially allowed by some professional organization (The ASME, IIRC).
You probably used choline bitartrate, which can cause problems in large doses. A better choice is choline hydrochloride, which has a hideous taste that can be masked to some degree with tomato juice or V8. Lecithin provides choline at the cost of calories. Other forms are available, choose what works for you.

Abraham Lincoln inaugurated: March 4, 1861.
Lincoln's administration was trying to do what WHEN South Caroline seceded?

Aren't Curtis-Mathes TVs made in USA?

antenna design
aerodynamic and hydrodynamic simulation
organic chemistry (dna, proteins, viruses ...)
any complex system that needs detailed modeling over time, with analysis of the effects of different inputs.
Time "is" money. It adds up to money savings in a commercial setting and life savings otherwise, whether the difference can be sensed or not.

It's "voila" with an accent mark over the 'a'.

I've read that flash uses considerably fewer bytes. Lower cost for anandtech, so they can live longer. Quitchergripin.

Luxury cars are profitable to the manufacturer. Econoboxes aren't. Options are profitable. YMMV.

So by your logic any pregnant woman who eats eggs should be murdered. Nice.
