Aspartame really makes my sister sick. Two glasses of diet products -> Puking. Chlorination is bad because it tastes like shit an people have to buy bottled water(and throw away the containers). The rest, that is for nut jobs.
How these things work, I've haven't seen them in the states yet. Back at home (NL) I use them sometimes, you scan an item, put it on the conveyor and it goes trough some kind of X-ray. After you're done you bag everything (the next person gets a separate exit lane).
At my dutch bank, starting with the plan that costs 30 euro a year I get charged nothing by my own bank (operators can still charge) when I use an ATM anywhere. There is a 1% cost for changing currency (ATM and paying in stores).
Bank of America charges 2 dollars to use an ATM outside the US + 3%.
Most people around me start to learn LaTeX in their master and do everything in it. Word just sucks for equations and you spend to much time on layout.
Also, even if I use OO.org or Word to do my work, I submit in PDF.
The windows based notebooks are also the same price range as the Apples. "Business" models cost about the same as macbooks and are mostly the same build quality (aka not crappy)
However, they give a lousy deal. I got a HP 8530w some time ago for around 880 euro, while the same spec'd model in the store would cost around 1600 euro. My university (or all technical universities in the Netherlands) got a really good deal for it and I think also subsidized it a bit.
Because of MySQL injection attacks and other problems, it is nice to have different access rights for different parts of your site. So I would not recommend stripping out the auth layer, especially if you have more than 1 DB running.
Even the best programmers and practices can create bugs.
That is a problem with the driver attitude. Replace him with an automatic system (it is driving a guided vehicle in a dark tunnel, what benefit is a human anyway?).
In retrospect, the Mars rover was build well outside design requirements, making it probably heavier and more expensive than absolutely necessary. Thus it was a design failure.
On the other hand, the 3 month mission length was decided by politicians so the engineers did the good thing, because if it is already there and working the budget for a longer mission will come anyway (for a few million we can extend a billion dollar mission for a few months sounds really good then).
I've seen a 1920x1200 laptop around 2006, so they are older then you think. It was 15" I think. The laptop I have now has 1680x1050@15", I was hoping for a 1920x1200 screen but then the bulk offer was not valid and I would have spend twice as much basically.
A few days ago I discussed that idea, but then standing upright with CRT monitors. Assuming 40x30cm 15" monitors, that would mean a 300m tall building that is 400m wide. Apart from the support, getting all pixels to change at the same instant will be a challange! Still, awesome. Who wants to donate his/her CRT (I need 2 073 600) and (at 60 watts a screen) a 125 MW powerplant (TerraPower&Toshiba have a nice reactor I read yesterday).
That leaves making the structure and pulling cables. Driving it can be done by some smart electronics, that generate a all blue/red/green VGA signal with simple logic.
Why is "o shit" button needed? Won't they shut when the tether is broken, as might happen with explosions/hurricanes etc. Accidents happen, BOP's should not fail! I think there should be a billion dollar (or 10) fine for every failed BOP, so high costs can be justified.
I gladly pay around 400 euro's more for mobility (paid 900 euros). Especially because I work on two or three places a day. Also, working outside and in the train is a plus! For real number crunching work there are a few stations around.
Also, laptops tend to make less noise then desktops and use a fraction of the power.
Got almost the same one, only with a 2.8 Ghz Processor (with 6mb cache/core).
Includes a Nvidia Quadro 770M, no heat problems that I know of yet and lasts around 3 hours on conservative power profile (AKA not when solving sets of equations). (I want the external battery that makes it twice as thick and lasts 10 hours...).
I thought NHTSA calculated a life to be worth $200000,- in 1972. I think now a life is worth around € 2e6 - € 5e6 (economic production in a lifetime). A banker has a negative value....

Like building a lander while both canceling the payload (robot) and the heavy lift vehicle?
And what they're talking about has nothing to do with real-time computing.

All consumer laptops are crap, you should go for the business variants (which incidentally cost about twice as much).
Isn't the modem enforcing your speed limits?

You should be able to brake any time anywhere at maximum braking force without the car behind you hitting you, otherwise he was tailgating.

For cases like "van der" I usually add an extra field "things between". Names like this are quite common in Dutch.

And no other way to pay that's cheaper.
You know you can configure them to move the whole screen in one swipe? Does take a bit of practise but it is almost as good as a screensaver lock ;-)

Or just don't be smartass then and wait it out.... No bullets flying.

When gas is 1,50 euro a litre ($7,60 a gallon), taking $50-$100 to fill up isn't uncommon for a econobox.
