Technically, every bridge is it's own design. It's the nature of the beast. However all the equations and models are already figured out so the engineer doesn't have to go back to basic physics, calculus, and material science to rediscover the necessary equations.
Way to misread my post, I never stated that laws are to be followed blindly. They are to be ENFORCED blindly, it is up to the judicial system to determine if a law is just or unjust and wether it should be followed. By allowing individual enforcers of the law to selectively apply it, you give them the ability to allow their friends to get a pass while they crack down on their enemies. Note cases were minority drivers are frequently pulled over for speeding when white drivers going the same speed are let by due to them going with the flow of traffic.
Traffic laws in general are a huge abuse of the system, where a very large percentage of drivers are guilty simply for following traffic patterns. Who does the cop pull over in this case? It's an opportunity for abuse of the system, the system should be designed reasonably to begin with.
You are blinded by your own bias, you see what you want to see and can't use logic to come to your own conclusions, but thanks for calling me absurd and mindless.
So are you trying to say that people are moving to SSDs for no reason?
and in some cases slower SSD's which are less expensive to make
Really? Are you sure about this statement? Or are you pulling numbers out of your ass? What makes you think they're cheaper? What if they actually are more expensive and not so big conspiracy?
Just when large CRT monitors became affordable albeit heavy, the companies rolled out smaller flat panels. Not only where they cheaper for them to make, they were cheaper to ship and had much lower field defect rates. So of course they charged more for them.
Yes, but many of the roads with 55mph speed limits are designed for 80+mph speeds. I-495 in New York is a perfect example of this, the speed limit is 55MPH yet you would be hard pressed to find people driving slower then 70mph unless it's a rainy day. Heck, if there isn't much traffic one can easily travel at over 100mph on that road with no problems.
The fact of the matter is that the discretion should be built in to the system. It could simply be a matter of giving a warning first then charging them with a crime if they do not comply, the law itself should not be so rigid. However, it should not be up to the enforcer of the law to decide when and where to apply it, it should always be applied.
Yes, and in the case of speed limits I would argue that the rules themselves are broken and in need of being fixed to match real world driving patterns. If enforcing a law requires that a majority of the citizens be prosecuted, then something is wrong with the law itself.
Judges and Police officers are two different entities. It should not be the enforcer of the law who gets to decide if a law is fair and just, that is the judges role.
In many cases, discretion is built into the system as it should be, but the law should be designed so that it can be fairly applied to everyone. Again, selectively choosing who to enforce the law upon is corruption.
It's not the state that is corrupt, it is the enforcers of the law who choose to do so selectively. If a reasonable enforcer of the law has to turn a blind eye to a "crime" then the law needs to be revised.

Oh no! They make headlines with the device! It's obviously corrupted and not pure Science!

People who drink alcohol are involved in drunk driving accidents that kill and harm people... Scary!
I bet they also ate meat too... Scary!
insufficient data for a meaningful answer.
I don't think your looking hard enough, it's quite a bit different then that "always innovating" tablet.
I think they meant removing the keyboard.
Umm, get a $399 ION netbook problem solved?
What if not killing the brand would yield billions?
Of course they should care, once they over-saturate a brand they effectively kill it.
They signed with Activision 7 years ago...

Yes, but you keep it organized at a single location, not fractured over 10 different computers.
I should add to my previous post, the other solution is to put an SSD on the designers computer.
I have to echo that statement, use a file server, problem solved.
I assume the OP doesn't see anything wrong with having 20 slightly different versions of the same design?
I495 is also the designation for the Capital beltway in Maryland.

Except, LCDs are much cheaper than CRTs now?

Discretion? By the very nature of the law it should be applied all of the time indiscriminately, anything else is corruption.
What is excessive?
