Because a reasonable person can understand they are comparing the speed of the shuttle in the medium in which it travels (space) with the speed of sound in the medium in which _it_ travels (ie. the atmosphere at ground level). This isn't rocket science.
Or maybe the Chicago ones are too sparse and the Portland ones are placed frequently enough?
Portland has twenty blocks per mile compared to the more typical ten blocks per mile in most other big cities. So if there is a meter on every block it's going to be much closer to you in Portland than elsewhere.
A Circuit Court in the US once held that buying a copyrighted work, affixing it to another copyrighted work, and reselling them was copyright infringement.
Uh... didn't they say the exact opposite, that it was not infringing? Or did I misunderstand your point?
Annie Lee creates works of art,... One Deck the Walls store sold some of Lee's notecards mounted... Lee contends that these tiles are derivative works...

We will no longer tax the out-of-staters (both people traveling from CA to WA & vice versa, as well as all of the people who choose to live in Vancouver and work in Portland)
Ummmm.... no.

A GPS-based system kept track of the in-state mileage driven by the volunteers. When they bought fuel, a device in their vehicles was read, and they paid 1.2 cents a mile and got a refund of the state gas tax of 24 cents a gallon.
So if you're from out of state, or if you drive out of state, or if you drive an older car that doesn't have the GPS device, or if you sacrifice your tinfoil hat to cover the GPS antenna, or if any of the other myriad "it won't work if the state can't track my mileage" falling-sky scenarios come to pass, then you simply continue to pay the 24+ cents/gallon fuel tax. What's so hard to understand about that?
That being said, I still don't think it's necessary.
The bulk of the Department's revenues originate from motor fuel taxes, licenses, and fees that are constitutionally dedicated and bond revenue that is supported by increases in licenses and fees. The State Highway Fund is shared among ODOT, counties, and cities. Out of $4.5 billion to be collected for 2007-09, $680 million is projected to accrue to other state agencies and local governments, leaving $3.8 billion available for expenditure on transportation programs. The most recent revenue forecast projects gross highway fund collections to increase by about 6.3% from the 2005-07 estimates. Total state motor fuel tax receipts are forecast to increase 3.7%, as the slow, but steady, recovery in Oregons economy is expected to continue.
Clearly part of the finger was touching the upper (McCain) button in those demonstrations, and if the touch sense lines are scanned from top to bottom it's going to pick the upper button. They could just as well have shown someone voting for McKinney and having Obama's name selected by mistake. But then it wouldn't be news, of course. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
Touché! I wish you hadn't posted anonymously so I could buy you a beer. No, two beers; also need to replace the one that just became violently intimate with my keyboard.
I just discovered this yesterday. It's an online circuit simulator with a number of different tutorials illustrating circuit principles and component behaviour. You can modify the sample circuits or create your own using a variety of active or passive components. Even has the ability to create "scope traces" at probe points, and shows in real time current, voltage, power, and other pertinent data for whatever you are pointing at.
It's not Spice, but it's quite functional as a learning tool.

Dear god, anything but a copy and paste programmer. We had one here and the results and the results are devastating
So, did they let you keep working there, anyway?
