If I inform on my neighbors, I won't be suspected of being a terrorist. If my neighbor informs on me, I might be considered a terrorist based solely on that accusation. My neighbor might be thinking the same thing. Whoever informs first has the best chance of not being branded a terrorist.

Perfect example: I went to M$' website from here on Firefox and their website completely crashed Firefox. I'd bet money that's on purpose so I will think Firefox is unstable.
While I love the idea of space exploration, sooner or later our stupid government will either:
a) Figure out we're broke, or
b) Have their credit card declined.
That day is coming. I know people have heard for years and years that the national debt is a problem and we've been able to keep going, but unsustainable trends won't. As a nation, we have incurred massive amounts of debts (public and private) with very little to show for it. The debt did not go toward investment in future growth, it was consumed. We can't afford to spend what we spend on space now.
The US used to have the same laws, but they were repealed in the 1980's. Opponents of the change knew what would happen and here we are. The American consumer is simply a tool to feed to profit hungry desires of corporate America. (And no, I am not a tree huggin hippy communist. Just a pragmatist that can read and do the math.)
I wouldn't call this 3D, but Voyage of the Valkyrie was a pretty hot game on the TRS-80. However, to call it "popular" is wildly off the mark. Just us geeks in here.
Let alone earn a decent return on investment. Africa is such an economic basket case I can't see them actually recovering that investment, unless of course they can tax the offshore bank account of the dictators running nearly all of Africa.
That was the most intricate babble of nonsensical non-sequiters that I've ever tried to read.

Bless you my friend. You've brought back lot's of repressed memories of day-long D&D sessions. I remember playing that module and loving it. A fighter with a blaster pistol... it doesn't get any better then this...
The decline in violent crime in the late '80s and '90s correlates with the legalization of abortion. Fewer unwanted children, fewer violent criminals, or so the hypothesis goes.
No. Actually this analogy is flawed. You're proposing an exchange of services (your work) for a mixed bag of compensation (low hourly rate and vehicle). This was a contest where the contestants have a chance of winning the prize. Very different economic exchanges.
The more correct analogy would be to work for a year at $5/hr and then have a chance (unrelated to you or your company's performance) of winning the car. That would be crazy and a commplete misalignment of incentives.
Wavegen, a company based in Inverness, Scotland, built a commercial waver power plant on an island off the coast of Scotland in 2000. As of 2003, it was still in operation.
Computers are duty free... everywhere in the civilized world. VAT's another story and it varies country to country in the EU.
They should sell it for EUR499 and pocket the gain on the strong euro.

Maybes its the University of South Carolina at Santa Barbara? Go cocks! (Oh heavens, I can't believe I actually said that...)

Thank you. This got modded as funny, but I think its quite profound. You're exactly right. A big part of my childhood just passed on.
Unless you work on Wall Street. Then you're always looking for more BIPS in the spread on interest rates between securities.
Didn't you read Freakonomics?

Read the book. Its great.

But... what's the question?
I was thinking the same thing. When was the lats time I agreed with Saclia, Rehnquist and Clarence Thomas about anything? (Probably never)

The plant works on the "oscilating water column" concept. This BBC news story from 2000 explains how it works.

Exactly. This is the kind of lawsuit that plugs up the courts, not product liability lawsuits.
