Summer gallons are not the same as winter gallons, you see.
They are anywhere that does volume correction on the pumps, which is pretty much anywhere that it gets substantially cold for a significant portion of the year, like Canada and some northern states, as it's good for profit margins.
Putting it in neutral gives more predictable braking (as you take the engine's inertia, drag, etc. out of the equation), which is useful for driving on icy streets.
The engine is consuming no gas when engine braking, as the system is running in reverse. Rather than power going from the engine to the wheels, you've got power going from the wheels to the engine.
Your idea is correct for carburetor, but is completely wrong for fuel injection engines.
How exactly is it putting "extra stress" on it? You're taking in, compressing, and exhausting air, as opposed to taking in and compressing air, shooting in some gas, blowing the lot up, then exhausting the remains.
That's been undiluted BS since we stopped using carburetors in cars. Fuel injected engines don't use significantly more fuel when starting than they do when running.
The "stick it in neutral" is similar. It works on carburetors, but it's counter-productive on most fuel injection engines. The injectors shut off when your foot is off the gas (it pulls inertia off the wheels to stay in motion), but if you stick it in neutral, it has to start burning fuel again to keep moving.
That program doesn't have a learning curve. It has a learning cliff. But if you can manage to scale it, it's a very powerful and efficient program. The interface is both really bad and really good.
Every tablet PC I've seen uses Wacom's tech ("penabled"), just a somewhat detuned version of it to make the cost more reasonable. I have an HP tablet laptop (tx2500) myself. works great for writing out notes with diagrams, though as the above guy said, there's very little in the way of pressure sensitivity, maybe 3 levels of it, though I haven't had any problems with accuracy once I configured that.
I'd contest the 360's place on that list. The failure rate has got to be hurting them, not to mention I'm pretty sure they sell the box itself at a loss and try to make it up on the games.
And when demand is not "high enough"? You seem to be labouring under the delusion that fibre/labour to lay that fibre/etc. is cheap and that a start up can successfully compete against an entrenched competitor in a market with such high input costs without having the shareholders/VCs/whoever is providing the money mutinying?
Capitalism is useful, but it is a 90% solution at best and usually isn't that good. Government is much the same. Combine them in the right proportions (a balance of regulation and market freedom) and you can get a solution that is as close to ideal as is practically possible.
Offer a refund for the old battery, same as they do with lead-acid auto batteries. I strongly suspect that's the main reason why that's so wildly successful (something like a 99% recycle rate). here, they give you $10 off the new battery when you give them the old one.
Which need updating, especially the highway testing. Their highway test process is a 16km trip at an average speed of 77kph and a top speed of 97kph. The speed limit on divided highways is 110kph, which increases the energy lost to drag (and therefore the energy required from the engine and thus the fuel usage rate) by about 1.5x over what you'd get at 97kph (and over 3x what you have at 77kph), which results in a very inflated figure.
alternatively confiscate your laptop and decrypt it themselves
Unless the NSA actually does have TRANSLTR, they're not going to be able to decrypt any reasonably strong (128+ bit key) encryption anytime this century.
DES may be well and truly broken, but a 128-bit key is not merely twice as hard as a 64-bit key. it's 2^64 times as hard. every additional bit doubles the size of the keyspace.
Honestly, pictures and video are very difficult for this, given that it is very small (at most 5m long), quite far away (it was still about 30km up when it exploded.), and was moving very fast (it entered the atmosphere at 12.8KM/s). It was only in the atmosphere for a few seconds before it blew up, not to mention it came in over a practically uninhabited area.
1. As for the NDP and liberals, yeah. They're battling for the left-of-centre vote, whereas the conservatives unite the right-end voters (prior to this party, there were two "conservative" parties, the progressive conservatives (who were almost irrelevant after Mulroney was through with them) and the Canadian alliance party (formerly the reform party), and they merged into the current conservatives back in 2003.)
2. The results right now are a serious toss up as far as i see it. I see 3 possible outcomes : a conservative minority, a liberal minority, or a conservative majority, in order of probability. It really depends on how the liberals fare vs. the bloc in Quebec, how they fare vs. the NDP in BC, and whether the torries can wrestle any Ontario seats from them.
There's no question that the torries are ahead in terms of popular vote, but depending on whose poll you believe, the spread between them and the libs is anywhere from 3% to 13%.
3. Yeah, our politicians like their flamboyant rhetoric. Canadian politics aren't really much cleaner than US politics, and are occasionally dirtier when you have all the parties in the ring.
Up here, "liberal" generally means "social liberal" (though it's more "left of the conservatives" than "left of centre". the libs are generally the centrist party) as opposed to your definition which is "economic liberal".

You certainly would be.

Or it could be just me. My fine motor control sucks.

I agree and can't find any available software anywhere referencing this project.

71? Or maybe ln(2pi)?

1. What rights are you referring to?
2. As opposed to shitty service in the long term as the telco doesn't feel like improving their service?
$2200 for now. Remember, this is a first-gen product.
I guarantee that, given the choice, people will pick the lead-free toys.
And in the absence of regulations, they will be able to know/find out what toys are lead-free how exactly? Take the company's word for it?

Actually, I'm pretty sure BT owns the backbone network in the UK, so everything would go through them.

Just for curiosity, what do you think of the NDP?
IIRC, torrents use SHA-1 hashes, not CRC, and AFAIK, there are no known collisions for that yet, which makes #4 infeasible at present.
