I don't care how drunk I am, if the government cannot provide me with safety with other methods of transports due to their own incompetency, then they have no right to tell me I can't drive home.
Tell that to my girlfriend's brother William, who was hit head-on at a combined speed of over 120mph by a drunk driver coming around a curve in William's lane at about 4 am. The sheer force of the collision ripped the drunk driver literally in half, and demolished both vehicles. As a result, this Will may never be able to work again. He's lucky that he can still even walk after the ordeal.
Public transportation or no, drunk driving is completely not an acceptable practice for any human being partake in. If you have no friends or family to call for a ride, if you're too cheap to call a cab, or if you're too impatient wait a while until you sober up, that is your own fault and you deserve to walk.
That's funny: I actually don't want HD yet.
Although, I also don't want to sped $600 on a media center that I have no use for. I just want to play some video games.
The reason the code is invalid is because Acid2 tests correct error handling. If you read the CSS specs you'll see that browsers are supposed to handle errors in specific ways. If they handle the errors to spec, more of Acid2 will render properly. If not? You get something like this.Read the Acid2 guide to get an idea of what exactly they're testing.

* Nintendo 64 - This began a line of consoles with relatively good codenames but terrible console names. Ultra 64, while derivative of Super Nes, at least had a "cool" element to it. Killer Insinct for the arcades even touted "Coming soon to the Ultra 64!" Nintendo instead decided to go with the incredibly bland Nintendo 64 and a gave it a suitably stupid Escher-like logo (which Rare's Conker amusing destroyed in Conker's Bad Fur Day). Again, wonderful games -- terrible name.
You forgot to mention the actual codename: Project Reality.
In their defence, the reason they went with "64" instead of "Ultra 64" was due to trademark issues regarding "Ultra". It wasn't intentional, as other cases. That doesn't explain the logo though...
I can't help but smile whenever I read a post by someone crying "boycott!" Even among the vast number of citizens that actually care about issues like this, boycotting won't even put a dent in most corporation's coffers.
Regardless of claims that this or that works or doesn't work, the house does listen to the people they are supposed to be representing provided those people speak loudly enough.
Back in 1994, a bill was introduced that was very hazardous to the home school movement:
"In 1994, an amendment to House Resolution 6 would have required all students to be taught by subject-certified teachers. Alarmed home schoolers besieged Congress with phone calls, faxes, and letters. In eight days, over 1 million phone calls shut down the House of Representatives' switchboard for hours at a time." - Home School Court Report Vol. XVII, No. 2
I see no reason that cases such as this should be limited to only the home schoolers. I'm not saying that we should shut down the switchboard again, but it apparently worked: HR6 as it stood was defeated. What we need is large numbers of people willing to actually contact their government and speak their mind, and until we have that (which I don't see happening any time soon in these cases) the USA will continue its slide in to oblivion.
Yes, I realize a lot has changed in twelve years, but a million phone calls can still be quite an effective deterrent.
While I'm all for the promotion of my favorite video game genre, I don't think this is the way to go about it. A lot of people (myself included) will not be able to enjoy the game because they are being told to play it. If they had picked it up on their own it would be fun in addition to a good workout.
Also, why are they paying $740 bucks for this? I could get the same thing for less than $500 per setup, thereby saving over $200,000 in the process. They're more than welcome to forward that extra $200k my way and I'll hook 'em up.
A college professor (in Quantitive Business Analysis) once told me that statistics are only as meaningful as you make them.
Because a study like this simply can't cover the entire world as a whole, it will always be skewed in one direction or another. It may not be intentional but it will happen, and should always be kept in mind.
