Here in the US, Minute Maid Light Lemonade, Mango Tropical and Raspberry Passion "juices" all contain 3% fruit juice. In some other countries, you're not allowed to call it juice unless it's 100% juice
Er.. not in the US either. That's why they're called "drinks" on the label. If they're not, they're breaking the law.
One thing the US totally lacks is consumer protection.
Yes... it's a shame there's not some Federal department called, let's say, the Food and Drug Administration. Or maybe a few non-profit consumer orgs, like maybe a Consumer Reports of some kind. RTFA
There are many great California wines and great American beers brewed throughout the country. This is a lame, tired old joke. I also don't understand what's wrong with American cheese that's not "American Cheese"-- ever had anything from Wisconsin? And what's wrong with the pizza? I mean, pizza as we know it is really an American and not an Italian invention. That's like saying Spanish olives suck because they're not black and have pimentoes in them. Where the heck are you from?
Real science fiction tends to explore the dilemmas of what makes up humanity. It involves thought, usually leaning toward some sort of message concerning our current society's trends.
Star Wars does address philosophical issues such as facing one's destiny and the nature of evil. I don't see why it has to address "current society's trends," unless you like your science fiction to seem hilariously dated in 30 years.

In PA, NY, and NJ, you must stay right except when passing-- and I welcome you to argue with a state trooper that going 1 MPH faster than a truck is "passing".

The federal speed limit was 55 MPH, imposed by the Jimmy Carter administration, and removed back in 1995. There is no federal speed limit, which is why states started raising them about that time.

Actually, aerodynamics have a large impact on speed past 60 MPH. That being said, today's cars are much better in that regard as well.

Contrary to your straw-man example, not all drivers are ticketed for going 100 MPH.
He wasn't arrested for the brake light, but for the aforementioned false positive on the soap. The sentence you're probably referring to is poorly written. You can't be arrested for vehicle safety violations.
I know you're kidding, but the submitter obviously wasn't:
Costing about one third of the price of its rivals such as the Commodore 64 while having a faster CPU and a better BASIC interpreter
... and 1/4 the RAM, lower screen resolution (with a color attribute design flaw), single-channel sound, no composite video output, and a terrible "chiclet" keyboard. The C64's only real flaw was the horribly slow 1541 diskette drive, which was adequately resolved with both Fastload carts and the 1571.
So is the common cold, and the method is pretty similar, just never touch anybody else.
That's a pretty obvious straw man you have there, isn't it? Obviously, asking a person to avoid all contact with other humans is rather unreasonable compared to asking them to abstain or use a condom.
Samsung makes a color laser that is as small as the smaller inkjets and quiet, but it also has the lowest print quality between it and the Okis and HPs I looked at.
It costs only $150 for a "small entity" to file a patent, and it doesn't take a patent lawyer to present the documentation to the court. If it exists, the patent holder can provide the documentation. The problem lies with inventors who don't patent their work, believing (often correctly) that it is obvious and unpatentable, but the patent office grants one to the "big guys" anyway.
I think that, more than waveform interaction, you're hearing two things:
- Poor mastering techniques that allow the level to hit the 90 dB "brick wall", resulting in horrible distortion and artifacts. - The highpass filter, used in mastering to keep all the information below the 22 KHz barrier, usually starts to kick in at 20 Khz. Not only that, but because of the sharp curve required (it simply HAS to be -90 dB at 22 KHz) the resulting waveform tends to be very jagged except on the very best equipment.
My wife and I went to see "Serenity" in the theater. They had a long gamut of ads - then started playing the wrong movie. They put in the right movie, but we had to sit through another 15 minutes of ads.
I would have watched the movie, but asked for my money back afterwards.

Funny how you called Cadbury crap and got modded as a troll, while calling Hershey "wax tablets" is okay.

Don't forget "The Making of Star Wars Holiday Special". Wookiee porn and Jefferson Starship!

I use neither. I use IMAP with my own HMailserver.

Well, Postal used to have a suicide button that did exactly that.

I'm just amused that something so unprofessional could appear on a commercial website. Apalling.
