So you're telling me that car manufacturers don't do specific things for specific countries for specific reasons?
No. I live in one of the few countries where they sell right-hand-drive vehicles. But the incentive there is obvious. Now, what incentive is there for car manufacturers to add speed limiters solely for cars made for the US market? (I'm not an economist, but I'm assuming that customisation for only one market needs a better business case than customisation for the entire range because it affects your ability to mass-produce). It doesn't have to be legislative, as you imply (unless you're implying a grand conspiracy involving all car manufacturers and local government, which sounds a bit unlikely even on/.) - if you can get a few million people to write to the manufacturers saying that you want speed limiters at such-and-such to be a standard feature, they might listen.
No, you're correct. Shall/will invert when it's a declaration of the speaker's intent. (My Latin teacher, who also taught English, used to tell of an Irishman who was swept away in a flood shouting to English onlookers "I will drown and you shall not save me!" They left him alone - although they'd have come to his rescue had he shouted "I shall drown and you will not save me!").
That's right. Not a single person reads it. And if you claim you do I shall ensure that the previous statement stands by defining you not to be a person;p
Going after people who've downloaded it would work, but it wouldn't be very good for the corporate image. Going after the ISPs doesn't work so well, because it's simply a case of hosting it in a suitable jurisdiction.
He's clearly been learning a thing or two from those ads they're showing: to wit, anything which grabs people's attention is good. When the firemen come rushing in to put out the blaze in the server room, people will notice there's a museum there.
I must, however, commend his honesty for being up front about the submission being an ad - most of the ads on the front page of/. are pretending to be stories.
Well, there may have been a ghost in the shell, but you're far from innocent. Killing that poor process like that. What had it ever done to you? You should be ashamed of yourself.
Using a nouse to control your computer won't prevent you from carrying your shopping home, pressing weights, or whatever else you do to keep your arm muscles in trim. Getting severe carpal tunnel syndrome will - I speak from experience. I'd be more worried about the potential effects on the neck.
I think you misunderstood my post and inverted its sense. If you correctly understood my post, then I have no idea how you draw your initial conclusion.
I fear I may be getting into a flamewar, but if you're claiming that it's impossible to believe in a Creator God and miracles at the same time as valuing scientific research then you make myself and many I know out to be either non-existent or self-deluding.
The Cambridge one won some architectural award somehow. A friend of mine who works there (doing a PhD) enjoyed himself immensely pointing out the defects - a colour scheme which leads people hunting for toilets (coloured orange IIRC) to find kitchens (also orange) instead; a complete lack of heating, which is supposed to be provided by the computers; etc.
I was one of two who used QBASIC in the BIO finals in '99, but for the first round I used BASIC on an Archimedes 4000. In fact, I hadn't used QBASIC before the finals, so the first thing I had to do was find how to compile and execute.
A spell-checker wouldn't pick that up. It's failing to spot "basicaly" which really shows that Michael isn't validating the submissions very carefully.

You know, car manufacturers may occasionally want to sell to states that aren't members of your union.
Can't you even manage a drive-by shooting without an aimbot?
I thought the Sandwich Maker from Bob was one of the highlights of the series.
Shouldn't that be "... Ass. of America"?

Grammer (sic)? You're not using Konqueror then, I take it?

And (very tenuously) arguably even on topic!
I think you need to reset your computer's clock, or maybe use NTP. The 19th of September is Sunday, not today.

In most places you'd be going to gaol just for possession of the gun.
