Catalytic converters take the toxic products of unburned fuel and convert them into CO2 + H2O + N2... If we want more CO2, the last thing we need to do is ban Catalytic converters...
A global ice age hits the planet resulting in the death of the trees. Once the temperature becomes low enough and CO2 is allowed to build up in the atmosphere after millions of years, vegetation growth and the effects of the CO2 build up will end the ice age. This has happened before and it will happen again.
Yes it was, then the design was copied and 2 years later China announces their own homegrown maglev project. It took the Germans decades to develop the technology but the Chinese only 2 years...
The Android market place let's you refund any application within 24 hours of purchase. I wonder if they took that into account when they came up with their piracy statistics, although I'd have to assume they aren't that stupid.
Apple allegedly omitted it because for some reason with all their resources they couldn't figure out a way to implement it
Here is your problem, Apple doesn't behave like a gigantic behemoth would. Apple works with very small focused teams which develop products quickly and bring them to market before their competitors. Those small teams DO NOT have the resources to include everything and the kitchen sink in their products. This is why Apple get's a lot of bad press from/.'s for not including xyz feature until version 2.0.
Fortunately for them, this is one of their greatest advantages because it allows them to outmanuever their competitors and bring innovative products to market much quicker. Once a product has been introduced it then goes on to their larger teams to be further refined.
Typically they will be used in conjuction with another heat source. This means that the other heat source, say a natural gas furnace, would burn less fuel to heat the house due to temperature controls and the heat output from the light bulbs.
What's wrong with that, it's not as if they're being misleading. That "wasted" energy has to go somewhere and if it's being used to heat up your home in the winter, then it's hardly "wasted."

Silly person, all the cool apps are on iOS not Android.
The parent post is a goatse link, ignore it /.

No, but you did hit the stupid limit a while back.
Are you sure about that? What if they were given the technology by another sentient race? What if they're dumb as rocks?
It's hardly a major problem considering other App stores don't even allow refunds(iOS).
I love how many control freaks are on slashdot, people who cling to opportunities and ideas to limit the freedoms of others.
I'd rather not use ATT. I also wanted to try out an Android phone, but it's a turd that I'm stuck with for two years now.
2012, The Mayans knew it, they were waiting.
Are you kidding? There was massive hysteria in the New World when the Europeans arrived...

The cheapest Android phone is also a turd. Heck I have an EVO and I think that's a turd for the most part.
Actually, pre iPhone, the Android UI was designed to mimic the Blackberry OS.
Kinda hideous actually.

Yes, because every succesful app on the App store is an iFart application.
Better yet, hack into the network to make it think the gold is 20-40% lower in cost.
What the heck are you talking about? Did you even read the GP?
Apple obviously never thought of that.
Oh no! people want to make money off of their work! That's capitalist talk, off with their heads!

The Zerg are all about the open source you see. It's in their genes.
Well then you might just start a flame war over the user friendliness and ease of use of an apple versus a tuna sandwich.
