Is this really so hard to understand? This move is to ensure that the US has the best technology in the world for low-energy transportation. It increases US independence, in terms of finance, technology, and energy. That could be a lot more powerful than the interstate system, in the end.
It's entirely possible that an updated 2.X version will come out, later, incorporating fixes. Apple often does that with the Mac OS. (I'm not sure why you're expecting backpatches to be instantaneous.)
I have mod points, but I'd rather tell you directly that you are wrong.
First, the person you are replying to is talking about the survival of the species, not of individuals. Arguments about whether one person lives are totally outside of the scope of the statement you are responding to.
Second, natural selection has a random driver, but its effect does choose something. In fact, what is selected for is whether the results work-- whether the individual has genes than can survive and reproduce.
Seriously? If this election is stolen, it will be the same as any other stolen election. If the US went in with Nukes every time a dictator faked Democracy, there wouldn't be any life left on Earth.
Ah. Leases definitely don't work like that in the US. Here, it's basically a rental, but the lessee is responsible for the care and condition of the vehicle.
Leasing the most solid, well-engineered, reliable car in the world for 20 years would be a horrible idea. Cars are rarely reliable past 5 years lately, and a 20 year old car is very likely to be off the road. This is a 1.0 product at best, from an unknown company-- who really thinks their car will still be on the road after 20 years?
From what I remember living there a few years back, Foot Path is a term as likely to mean "sidewalk" or "alleyway" as it is to mean "walking path in the wilderness".
I suspect this will be used for both rural and urban walking areas, and that it will be allowed even in places where cycles aren't. (Even if it's just a "turn a blind eye" sort of thing.)
The obvious question is "relative to what"? Once you are moving in time, relativity is out the window. So, I assume, would be any frame of reference in XYZ space. Once you pull of magic in terms of the time position, magic in space positions seems easy. Maybe the whole trick is to change the reference frame, and time travel comes along with the teleportation for free.
Definitely missed one there... Jonathan Ive. He's really as much a part of the New Apple as Steve was. I predict he will become very very important in the next six months.
Also... These people have already been running things for a long time. New Steve has learned to delegate better than people let on. He was running Apple and Pixar at their most successful eras-- at the same time. He didn't do that alone.
It seems simple. Apple is phasing-out FireWire 400, as it is on about even-footing with USB 2.0 and can't compete. It is keeping FireWire 800, but treating it (correctly) as a pro feature. That means it is only on the MacBook Pro.
Who do you think is spending all of the money that China is bringing in? For instance, who orders the products made in China, who sells the products OEMed in China? (Or, for that matter, who is designing all of the products that China is pirating?)
That's not really true in a client-server environment. They can update almost all aspects of the game, and either change regardless of the client, or require the client update for the game to continue to work.
My former roommate was surprised when we finally explained to him that Colbert is making fun of Conservatives, not agreeing with them. The amazing thing was, he still thought the show was funny, even though he didn't get the basic gag.
Yeah, all those failures like President Ronald Reagan, Senator Fred Thompson, Ambassador Shirley (Temple) Black, Congressman "Sonny" Bono, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Mayor Clint Eastwood... I don't agree with their politics, but it's hard to say they were all bad or completely unsuccessful.
Slow down there, fella. Being an idiot and saying stupid things doesn't count as a speech impediment. The only thing wrong with our President's diction is that he's a rich Connecticut heir, who pretends to have a Texas twang.

Because they don't let my penis touch the vagina (which is the whole idea). You can have that answer for 10% of the cost of the study.
Boo. Hoo.

I don't think hydrogen spoils.

Finally, a way to add some challenge to older games!

Next year for sure. And when it comes, it may be almost as usable as Windows 95 (aka Mac 89).

I brought my first laptop to school in the early 90s. (PowerBook 140) Is that not allowed now?

I agree. A perfectly sensible interpretation is "if you eat more unhealthy prepackaged food, that food comes in plastic containers".
Maybe they just don't want their brand image tarnished by their game looking like crap on an old video card.

I wish I could spend mod points to send an electric shock to especially bad posters.
