Depends how far this goes. There could be a genetic link to reflex speeds, situational awareness, etc, that mean you riding a bike is lower risk than some other idiot driving their SUV... and which point, the genetic factors are as important as the lifestyle factors.
Hunger is by far a distribution problem, not a food production problem.
I've read this sentiment many times, and although I agree with the latter statement, I can't agree with the former. In my view, it's not a distribution problem, it's an economic problem. We could distribute enormous amounts of food anywhere on the globe, but we don't. Why? It's too expensive. Hungry people are often poor people, and poor people can't pay enough to meet our expectations of a return (or even no loss) on labor, fuel, vehicles, storage, and other distribution resources. So, we make this choice: they're just not valuable enough to us to bear the cost of sending food (of course, aid agencies disagree and do exactly this).
"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity" That's far too optimistic. People who fancy themselves as smart often use this excuse to explain themselves being caught in the act. E.g., the "but I didn't know!" excuse.
I think Nvidia should be worried about this. I think Nvidia should talk to IBM's Power division about doing a JV, preferably with a Cell CPU core. After all, the PS/3, the XBox 360, and the Wii all use PowerPC cores... and Nvidia developed the PS/3 GPU. Worst case x86 scenario is VIA buying Nvidia and doing it. If that's the way the market is going, so be it.
I think the more important advancement has been all the other stuff on the blade head. the mounted springs, the lube strip, the rubber precut strips that tension the skin, etc. I suspect all those contribute more to the newer blades being better. I agree with that comment, but I understand the argument to sell lower quality blades in order to keep selling them (eg, they wear out), but why hasn't anyone made a good 2 blade razor with a push-to-clean bar, and ceramic (or Ginsu) blades that will last years? Seriously, I'd pay top dollar for such a razor (eg, 50 bucks or so).
Maybe laws written for the sake of the governed should be written in a language they understand. Are any laws truly written for the sake of the governed?
FWIW, this kind of thing is used pretty successfully for making cheap molds for various kinds of casting (typically in a rapid prototyping or very low volume scenario).
DJs are actually making money by playing other people's music, and their use at a gig does not really fall under 'fair use' as we know it as consumers. "consumers"? "we"? Nice bit of astroturfing there, me thinks.
The ancient Maya civilization occupied the eastern third of Mesoamerica, primarily the Yucatan Peninsula. The topography of the area greatly varied from volcanic mountains, which comprised the highlands in the South, to a porous limestone shelf, known as the Lowlands, in the central and northern regions. The southern portion of the Lowlands were covered by a rain forest with an average height of about 150 feet. Scattered savannas and swamps, or bajos, appeared sporadically, interrupting the dense forests. The northern Lowlands were also comprised of forests but they were drier than their southern counterparts, mainly growing small thorny trees. -- http://www.indians.org/welker/maya.htm
Good luck with your "wheels" on that terrain. I would be vey surprised if the wheel wasn't invented at some point, but I suspect it was found to be of little use for the most part, and faded into obscurity.
As a New Zealander, I have to say that over-taxation of the kind described is absolutely a bad idea. Here we have millions available to buy high-country land for conservation, to pay for medical care for refugess with AIDS, for politicians amusements, and especially for helping the underpriviledged. Meanwhile, we're in a housing crisis because nobody with a regular job can afford even the deposit on a home because they've got nothing left after PAYE, Student Loans, KiwiSaver, ACC, Earner Premiums, etc, etc. Once you've lost around 47% percent of your income in tax, groceries are then taxed at 12.5%, and fuel is taxed over 60%, and so on. You do what you can to minimise it, but as an Employee, there are limited options.
I agree that some taxation is necessary, but socialism is killing the middle class. I'm seriously considering a move to somewhere like Hong Kong with their more reasonable 20% rate.
Don't forget the evolutionary advantage in "mis-communicating" by the females. More or less, guys who like you do stuff for you. You can sleep with whoever you want (eg, the alpha male) and the other guys (beta males) will still bust a nut trying to score by being nice / doing your bidding. Sending misleading signals is absolutely full of win for the girls (until you meet a psycho).
The MS chief security advisor drives a 1992 Toyota? Really? Two things come to mind here: Either Microsoft doesn't take security seriously enough to even give this guy a decent salary, or the urge to keep supporting outdated legacy crap is so ingrained at the company that even the guys at the top can't drop old tech for something better.
Of course it also makes me wonder, why can this guy take supporting a '92 car seriously, and yet the company he works for can't even make sure that the printer you bought last year will be supported in the latest OS? Nobody said it was his only car. Maybe it's a pet project or something.
Well there was also a New Zealander who flew before the Wrights but at that time it took news 6 months to arrive from New Zealand by sailing ship. That would be Richard Pearse, of Waitohi Flat, Temuka, New Zealand.
"Richard Pearse: "Mad Pearse", "Bamboo Dick", self-taught inventor, prophetic designer, trail blazing aviator and eccentric visionary. On or about 31st March 1903 a reclusive New Zealand farmer Richard Pearse climbed into a self-built monoplane and flew for about 140 metres before crashing into a gorse hedge on his Waitohi property . Even at half the distance Pearse must have felt the liberating but anxious exhilaration of flying. There is uncertainty about whether it met the definitions of sustained flight, but it came eight months before the Wright Brothers entered the record books at Kitty Hawk North Carolina on 17th December 1903." -- http://www.nzedge.com/heroes/pearse.html
Isn't the purpose of a search engine to find what I ask for, and not do magic tricks about what I'm thinking? Yes, and No. Yes, a search engine should find what you are looking for. However, a kid searching for "pussy" is probably looking for information about felis catus, while an adult quite is quite likely not to be. So no, I would say some degree of magic tricking is necessary to discern the two. And while Google provides a very good search engine, but don't lose track of their primary mission - advertising. The magic tricks are far far more useful in this arena.

We're there some F1 and Rally drivers who got busted or speeding and received relatively light penalties?

I'd assumed my lack of delivery was because I ordered from a foreign country... Good to know it was happening domestically too.
It's okay. When it gets too bad we'll just migrate to another planet, like we did last time...
Yeah, but there's way more money in keeping the grievences rolling.

Don't forget M-Audio and their very nice "consumer" level Revolution cards. Not super cheap, but it sure sounds nice.

FTFY.
