Because never having done it, I don't know what I don't know and the Haynes manual always seems to have a detail that's only obvious after the job is done. And because it's the fucking brakes and I really don't want to kill me, my family, or some poor shithead going through an intersection.
If I could do it the first time with a knowledgeable shade tree mechanic present, I'd do my own brakes in a heartbeat forever after, but without that resource, too risky.
Um, I don't think that could have been Bridge on the River Kwai. William Holden escapes into the jungle on foot at the beginning, and the movie ends before there's any extraction of what's left of the demolition team.
Also, the movie came out in 1957 (winning Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director, and 4 other Oscars that year), and TFA says the first use of the skyhook was 1962.
No, the 'mining' in this process involves filling up a bucket with gold chloride, possibly using a shovel and a hole. This is indeed the smelting/refining step.
OK Godwin, feeding the trolls, and whatever, but I'm fascinated: In what moral calculus do Mein Kampf and Silent Spring coexist as similar examples of anything?
I've always wanted to make some letterpressed paper (or a T-shirt) with the yellow currency detection circles covering it. I'm shocked that one or more office supply manufacturers don't already sell this as "uncopyable paper"
You're supposed to just leave your car running in the middle of I-287, saunter over to the Ferris wheel and take a ride, and traffic may have moved 5 feet by the time you get back.
By "All Adobe Products" you mean Acrobat and AIR? Because if I removed Photoshop and Illustrator and InDesign and Aftereffects I'd need to go use someone else's computer.
Look at a bestsellers' list from 20 years ago and see if you recognise any of them.
Umm... yes. Actually I was surprised at how many were immediately recognizable, or at least had immediately recognizable authors; as well as how many ended up filmed (Rum Punch became Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown). One on the nonfiction list, Young Men and Fire, is also currently in the news as it was either plagiarized or misattributed by Jonah Whatsisname at the New Yorker.

How about disabling the taskbar popping up when you mouse over it (pops up only when the windows key is pressed, like you could in XP)? I've googled that, but all I seem to find is half-baked shareware my admins wont let anywhere near our network.
The government won't be taking half in your scenario*. They would be taking half of the profit. Just like they take half the profit from people's labor income in your scenario.
It's a capital gains tax - If you bought a stock for $1 and sold it immediately for the same price you would owe $0, not $0.50.
That's the deal workers get; it seems only fair for capitalists to get it too. Bracketed rates on capital gains income would make a lot of sense, too.
* Won't argue about rates right now, but as a sole proprietor in NYC taking the extra 7.5% SSI hit my effective rate was never above 40%.
Can you people stop pissing and moaning and hairsplitting about license terms and allow some discussion of what this tech means for the medium-term future?
A few questions I'd certainly love to get answered from someone who's knowledgeable:
-Is this the REYES algorythm? -Does it differ in important ways from the Catmull-Clark subdivision that's pretty much standard in off-the-shelf 3D software? -With the increasing prevalence of raytraced GPU/coprocessor rendering replacing rasterisation in near-realtime applications, is this tech now mostly irrelevant? -What are some things the release of this technology might make possible? -Does this have any impact on the patent encumbrance surrounding Renderman's nearly-free motion blur? -How much longer were those REYES patents going to last anyway?

Excellent fucking movie though.
Got a link to a longer/slower writeup of this for an American who would like to be able to do cheaper wire transfers?
They're not 25 times stronger - they're stronger to the 25th power!

Recommended reading: The Family Fang, in which one of the main characters gets rearranged in the face in a potato-gun mishap.

Mod parent up! A sane, real-world gray area explanation of a polarizing issue.
Genuinely curious - what happens when you die? Must the gun be destroyed or can it change ownership through your will?
There's some terrible labored "Chiks dig U" joke to be made there as well, but why bother?

I believe field-sequential wheels continue to work with the proper kind of tube-driven black-and-white TV and an analog color NTSC signal.
Not true. My one year-old has learned to scream "share!" as she rips a toy out of her older brother's hand....
That's hell when the UPS guy rings the doorbell and you try to quickly put pants on over your shoes.

To hell with Dune, how about Charlie Stross's Live Free or Die?
Indeed. Also, I don't actually see that option in the UI screenshot.
In XP it's a combination of Auto-Hide on, Always on Top off.

Red state/blue state is a dangerous myth.
Look at the election maps by county and you'll see that it's blue cities/red rural areas.
The government won't be taking half in your scenario*.
They would be taking half of the profit.
Just like they take half the profit from people's labor income in your scenario.

So it's actually 300 kg dead weight, but allows them to actually land a bigger rover? That's really cool.
Any reason not to try to embed little experiments in the weights though?
