Yes, you've discovered the mid-cycle PC surge. Console makers foolishly release all within roughly a year of each other, then nothing. At some point *all* of the consoles are less capable than the bottom 30th percentile of PCs people are using for other stuff and there is a resurgence of games targeting the PC.
They're not even talking about the next-gen yet, although the MS platform is long overdue, and Nintendo doesn't even have an HD offering of any kind.
Perhaps, but freight travels much slower than passenger rail needs to to be viable. People aren't "just another kind of freight" any more. Consequently, the only thing that Amtrak should have any designs on that the freight companies hold are the rights of way.
Frankly, as a quasi-public entity (publicly funded allegedly private company...), they should have no trouble obtaining the necessary rights, with or without the cooperation of the freight companies. It is a sin to have a 140mph train that averages 45mph because you're too cheap to put in the necessary infrastructure.
No, you misunderstand. The massage therapist pushes you around. Your own body does the adjustment by settling into it's natural position while being shaken up a bit. Back-cracker does the same thing, basically, except he mutters something about "subluxation" that he pretends to see on X-rays, while doing it.
The main problem I can see is that Amtrak has found a more stable revenue source than actual passengers. Consequently, convenient schedules and passenger satisfaction are distant second and third, or worse, on the list of priorities.
Meh. Far and away, no one is selling a product with as much polish in their respective markets as the iPhone, iPod Touch, and the iPad. There are products with more horsepower out there though. Plenty with "better value."
If Apple manages to get a "stranglehold" it won't be because of anything fundamental about the "mobile computing" market except their understanding of it. Nothing prevents someone else from coming in with a product with just as much care or moreso than the Apple products.
But you're probably not going to see entrants who just throw out half-assed feature lists succeed. We've all been burned by products which have "feature X" in the hardware, but the software update that takes advantage of it never arrives. We're wary. In the mobile computing market, what works out of the box is all that's important, even if the feature list is shorter than others, if everything on the feature list is actually something that does something...
Further, even if the only advantage apple had in the market was the "fashionable" appearance of their products, that's still an important aspect of a moble computer compared to a desktop machine: your friends will eventually see your mobile device, and there are very few people who don't think too much about the face they present to their friends.
Without knowing the spread on that LD50, I can't say for certain, but with a story like that, the first thing I'd do (assuming its veracity, of course) is question the validity of the test. There's outliers, and then there's outliers.
A Breathalyzer isn't a gas chromatograph OR a mass spectrometer, and even those tests can be fooled (by juuust the right combo of other stuff and n-ionization of n-ish-multiple-mass compounds, respectively)
In fact, I'm pretty sure it's usually just an open-cycle fuel cell.
You do realize that half the levels in the single-player campaign were maps where scripts were set up where you *didn't* have to mine for crystals OR vespine gas. Although those particular levels were even more railroading than the regular maps, those scripts are available to any level designer using the included map building tools.
That said. It's a completely different game than D&D. I don't know why you would compare them as if one was a replacement for the other.
I don't think that the conclusion is foregone. The issue, at least on the US side, is that there are few enough ISPs now that if you find your ISP "doesn't have google" the other two might not either. This would be a pretty obvious collusion situation, and therefore would go unprosecuted.
He could hire 3% of the extant lobbyists, yet fill a much larger fraction of his administration with that number. So he'd be right that he hadn't hired many - just 3% - from a certain point of view.
No, that's stupid. If "not facing your accuser" can get evidence thrown out just because it was automatically collected or wasn't witnessed by a person, we'd never convict anyone of anything.
The camera footage is evidence. The accuser is the person who looked at the pictures. Possibly the techs that installed the camera, or the engineers who designed the system, too.
It wasn't an issue of actual ignorance before requiring them, but an issue of the Big-3 lobbying to prevent safety measures from being passed that interfered with the look of their cars or the cost of them.
That's too bad. Surely I'm not the only one that thinks that "hidden" lights would look pretty badass.
He didn't say he'd hire zero lobbyists. He said he wouldn't hire a lot of lobbyists. As in, of the field of lobbyists, most would not be getting a job offer in the Obama administration. Depending on how many positions there are to fill, he could hire 100% lobbyists and still fail to hire the vast majority of them.
but you're not going to like it much more than "set up recording a few hours in advance"
You can set a timer on the VCR itself, usually about one to two weeks in advance. Then you need to make sure the tuner is set to the proper channel. Since that bit may also be disabled, you might only be able to record consecutive shows on the same channel where you set the channel for the next recording after the last time you use the television.
But if you're a techie, then I guess you gotta get DVR, TiVo, or Myth. Otherwise you lose your cred.
It's all well and good to admonish the parents for not participating, and certainly efforts to improve parental participation should be part of any failing school system's rehabilitation plan, but you can't hire new parents.
You can hire new teachers or administrators and since they work for you, you can control how they are required to do things. You've got the parents you've got, now what are you going to do about it?
If a "generous salary" of 50k only costs 50k, then it's probably not that generous at all. It's probably closer to a "gross pay" of about 37k after factoring all the "employer paid" contributions and payroll costs and whatnot. And that's assuming that you're sending these officers in naked and with no equipment.
Well that's because everyone involved had shoddy math skills.
infty Sum a_n = undefined n=1
where a_n is arbitrary.
You can only claim an infinite sum of arbitrary constants converges to a finite number if the constants themselves converge to zero quickly enough. So, they can't, in fact, each be arbitrary and still be able to make the claim.
The supreme court, in its capacity as "final arbiter" is not only far from infallible, but in fact, frequently woefully lacking in justice. Copyright is far from the most egregious incident, though.

Where did you find a piece of electronics for sale in the US with a claimed manufacturer warranty of less than one year?
That is sufficient. There is no need for concurrently doubling the warranty with the retailer, too. That's just wasted resources.

Boat. With all the dust in the air, in the right places, that vacation might be really romantic due to the intense sunsets.

There will be no impact on my driving record. The worst that can happen is it will be turned over to collections and placed on my credit report
