Over here a city with 20.000 inhabitants budgeted 1.12 million USD / year for snow removal so yes, 6 million to clear whole fucking Moscow would be very cheap indeed.
But well, snow lighten things up so when controlled it's not that bad. Cold dark misery with no snow would be even worse.
I read in a news paper that "Enköping", a small city (or maybe the meant the municipality) with around 20.000 inhabitants here in Sweden at close to the same latitude as Stockholm budgeted 8 million SEK (1.12 million USD) / year for snow control. I can't find the paper but I thought it was quite a small area of roads.
I doubt people will push their webapps for mobile phones against IE though, rather webkit and maybe firefox.
Another thing I wonder is if this will involve visiting webpages / have a collection of "apps" in your browser or how it's supposed to work. Because I doubt people want to surf to various webpages if they see the browser and such. I guess also one maybe want to have a consistent look of the user interface across applications.
Uhm, isn't the issue that your browser can't access your hardware? Guess sooner or later it will become 3D accelerated and maybe one can have the GPS submit coordinates to the page running the javascript or something. But shouldn't it still be somewhat limited?
How good does the iPhone work?
Don't "native non-webrelated apps" have any benefit longer?
What about Opera then? I guess it's the same for adsweep there to but what about the builtin adblocker and the flashblock thingy?
When it comes to speed I think Opera is supposed to be slower than Firefox in the javascript department currently, right? Still in general while actually using the browser I think Opera feels faster for me when it comes to the whole experience.
I don't really like Safari, but 4 works, 3 was waaay better than 2 but that don't mean much.
Slashdot informs me that I can choose not to watch any ads if I want to as a thank for my contributions to the site. I don't bother click it since I like Slashdot and they deserve their ads income (if they really get any from me not clicking their ads..)
Opera: Has a builtin adblocker, if you want to be able to choose whatever flash anims will run or not you can to. Adsweep works on Opera as well if you don't want to set up your own rules.
Chrome: For chrome you need to switch to the developer snapshot channel to be able to load addons such as adsweep.
Safari: I don't remember what I ran, Pithelmet is used by many but I often find it outdated. If you want something which just block ads as in Firefox with Adblock plus you can use adblock.
To almost claim only firefox is able to block ads is kinda ignorant.
I wanted to say this earlier but stupid Safari 2 crashes on any tries to reply on Slashdot so..
the clueless Naciremas did this right: diesel emissions are just awful
I doubt it's beneficial to continue that war you guys got going over there. Anyway, the thing is diesel emissions are (or was) worse over there on your side than it is (or was) here.
"Ultra low sulphur diesel fuel has been refined so that its sulphur content is 15 parts per million (ppm) or less. This is 97 percent cleaner than the standard highway-use diesel fuel sold in the US, which contains an average of 500 ppm of sulphur."
"ULSD fuel has been the standard in Europe for several years. In the U.S., the changeover process began in June 2006, when the EPA enacted a mandate requiring 80 percent of the highway diesel fuel produced or imported to meet the 15 ppm standard. The new ULSD fuel went on sale at most stations nationwide in mid-October 2006. Both diesel fuels will be on sale for the next few years, with the goal being a gradual phaseout of 500 ppm diesel. By December 2010, all highway-use diesel fuel offered for sale in the U.S. must be ULSD fuel."
"ULSD fuel will work in concert with a new generation of diesel engines that will begin arriving for the 2007 model year. Ideally, ULSD will enable the new generation of diesel vehicles to meet the same strict emission standards as gasoline-powered vehicles. The new engines will utilize an emissions-reducing device called a particulate filter."
"Diesel engines manufactured for the 2007 model year and later will utilize some type of particulate filter and will be designed to run solely on ULSD fuel."
I don't know when that was written, but it seems like it's a couple of years old and that your modern cars may have caught up.
If your information is newer than that then I stand corrected, if not I think you have to accept that things move on and improve and that old issues don't have to be around longer, and in this case was solved earlier over here.
So if you had (well, if you as a unity) wanted to have cleaner diesels you could have had them earlier to.
Well, for just using the application they don't have to accept the license.
For changing it I guess it depends whatever the license file actually holds any legal power or not.
If they are bound to it and sorta have accepted it I guess you can sue. But if not they are just violating copyright and then only the copyright holder would be able to sue.
Now when it got noticed so much I just wish I had modified it more to pick out the Koreans superiority.
Like keeping human advantages to "overrate their own ability to predict what the opponent does", "can change strategy to a varying degree but has already made one up before the game even started" and so on, and how the AI makes sure to use up its resources, but never saves up if not needed in case it needs to change strategy later on.
And well, then all the stuff about how the Koreans handles micro and macro control while still being able to read the game and turn every single move from the opponents to their advantage.
But well, with similar words in all cases and not sentences.
I like how it can be considered 3 haikus...

Yeah, but you see, we need that money to keep the French farmers happy, with over 50% of EUs budget going to farmer support and all.
This way we can dump all the excess wheat/milk/whatever onto Africa looking like we care at all while killing off the little amount of local productivity and business they have, keeping them poor and unfeed without any local crops.
Though most of their problems will be their own and their governments. ("Guess they too need more liberate gun laws!"...)
Microsoft can afford it and afaik their console business make money nowadays.
If anyone got any numbers to post either showing that or losses feel free to, both just for the console and console+games / total entertainment line if possible.

Baltic fleet? Seems rather inconvenient.
Wouldn't homeopathic silver iodide have such low concentrations that there wouldn't actually be any silver iodide at all and therefor safe? :D

They typically do really well, actually. People just remember the abject failures and overgeneralize
That's what I've been telling the ladies.

That must be it.
but I have been noticing less and less flash ads lately. Less annoying and intrusive ads as well...
No, just no.
Even Slashdot got flash ads which scrolls out on top of other content sometimes.

We have the same system in Sweden, but yeah, not for herpes here either.
Don't stop people from being asses and not telling people anyway to save their reputation.
While maybe not here on Slashdot, but out in the real world kinda everyone got herpes or HPV.
I don't see why it would be such a biggie though, kinda expected. And if you think it's a huge deal yourself keeping it private is kinda evil.

Short term profit, hype, speculation and guesses has nothing at all to do with it :D
