We have a neat system over here. Shame you guys don't use it:
1. Insert card. Card does a pre-auth for some conveivable ceiling. Funds are held. 2. Fuel 3. System does a completion against the authorization for the actual amount.
(If under authorization, remaining funds released. In some cases, you can fuel over a certain theshold past the authorization - you'll get charged for it, but if for some reason you don't have it the processor eats the cost and pays the merchant anyway (insurance basically).)
You know, I personally don't understand why we pay for THEM to be insured. You don't have insurance? You get hit? Well... shame you didn't have insurance! Deal with it!
Instead, the rest of us have to pick up the slack. Totally fair.
Unfortunately, the mass consumer doesn't want 2D:-(
They just might, if they weren't locked into 800x600, which looks like total ass on a high-resolution LCD (even worse if it doesn't do aspect-locked scaling).
... or you could be rolling, because the intersection was designed properly and you can clearly see the crosswalks etc before even reaching the intersection.
This is a case of enforcing the letter of the law over the spirit of the law. It should be the other way around.
Why does that matter? My point was the dedicated heaters in the right spots combined with the LEDs will still be more efficient than the old incandescents. Your location doesn't determine how efficient the incandescents were...
You don't care about ice and stuff on the sides/back - only the crap hanging off the shields. Put de-icers on the rims of the shields and it should keep them clear enough.
We want them to know that we know that they know that we know that they know that we know that they know that we know that they know that we know that they know that we know......

who are completely out of touch with their customers and only know how to balance a quarterly spreadsheet.
Rather, they only care about their short term gains, and thus only care about balancing their quarterly spreadsheets...
They are not stupid people per se. They just have different values from functional members of society.
unless you enable elective mode
Does your NDA allow you to elaborate a bit more on that?

What is Sarcraft? What does it have to do with Star Control 2? What is SCt?
Your post is invalid.
It would be interesting to have something like Nethack or zAngband but with graphics such as Diablo 3.
It's neat and all in text mode, I love them - but sometimes you want the eye candy.
(text over tiles any day, full graphics or none)
I really wish you would stop calling random people rocket scientists. It's unbecoming.
Hrm, so you're saying we're all rocket scientists? Thanks!
Ooh, you meant "faggot."
Fucking idiot.
Like it or not, out here in the real world a citizen's actions reflect upon their country.
Sure, why not. It's not like my DNA is full of proprietary code or is some kind of artistic expression.
I don't suppose your ISP does DHCP assignment?
This is the whole point in people being pissed off at the RIAA/MPAA associating IPs with people with no other links to tie it down.
Microsoft: where "five nines" means 9.9999%.
Civil disobedience. Clearly he feels they are enforcing laws that are wrong, and has no other recourse.
So, let him continue doing it, get caught, and get processed. That's how civil disobedience works.

They could put tiny electric heating elements inside there to keep them warm and still end up with a more efficient system.
The problem isn't really getting to the site, it's being able to transact on it.
Hearing an unexpected echo of your scream is not going to disrupt your screaming.
You got me there :P
Don't you have to have a bank account or something? They don't exactly send you cash. To have that, you need to have a legitimate mailing address?

Um, what?
We want them to know that we know that they know that we know that they know that we know that they know that we know that they know that we know that they know that we know......
My head just 'asploded.
Indeed. But they could use one of these instead, the modern evolution of the things. Bonus points if you employ the metal shield too!
Yep, though they are usually called nightsticks (generic name for a club, actually).
Though part of me wishes we used sasumata.
