Personally, I only know about the CCCP, and I don't use that either. Best to just grab the players and decoders you need instead of installing one big pack.
I know it is not currently but it will be one day.
Even assuming that 100% of the energy in the fuel is converted to kinetic energy, I really, really doubt a gallon of it would keep you going for 1000 miles.
Basing your system on 12 instead of ten is extremely practical (outside the ivory towers and groves of Academe) because carpenters, artists and architects can easily achieve aesthetic and functional balance without generating excessive trim waste or requiring computers to figure out how to center a window frame.
Please explain how a base 12 system is easier than a base 10 system for carpenters, artists, and architects to achieve aesthetic and functional balance.
Daniel Fahrenheit went to a great deal of trouble to set up his temperature measuring system so that the most practically useful values (water freeze point & human body temperature) were on 32 and 96 degrees respectively.
And Celsius is set up with useful values like 0, 100, and 37 (water freeze point, boiling point, and human body temperature respectively). I don't see how 32 and 96 are better.
Let's say Wallmart is selling a lawn furniture set, and each one has a unique IPv6 address. Suddenly, keeping track of the stock is immensely easier. Need to know if the furniture set that the person returned was really the one that he bought from Wallmart? No worries, just scan the IPv6 chip in it. An employee has a garden gnome that looks suspiciously like the one that disappeared from the store a few weeks ago? Scan it and find out.
Wait, so let me get this straight. Your complaint against Mono is that they're dealing with filthy M'$' to achieve their goals, and they're not FREEEE AS IN SPEEEEECH!, nevermind that their purpose is to widen application compatibility and free.NET from the constraints of Windows? Wow.
.NET 2.0 was supposed to be a clean break from.NET 1.x..NET 3.x, and all future frameworks, are fully backwards compatible, in that.NET 2.0+ apps will work just fine with those frameworks. You only need the new runtimes if you use functions that are new to those versions. As for legacy 1.x code, well, they should work just fine with whichever version of Mono is equivalent to.NET 1.1, right?
The summary's whole spiel about how half of the.NET apps don't work in Mono 2.0 because Microsoft has moved onto.NET 3.5 is pretty sensationalist; obviously apps that use features which are implemented in 3.0 and 3.5 won't work in something that is equivalent to.NET 2.0, where those features HAVEN'T BEEN IMPLEMENTED YET.
You need 64-bit Windows for Windows to see more than 4GB of RAM, but that's only because Windows is so poorly written. It's support for PAE in the workstation-class editions is half-assed at best, even though PAE has been near universal since the Pentium Pro. XP SP2 even requires PAE for full use of the Data Execution Prevention, but Microsoft has never enabled a 32-bit non-server operating system to access more that 4GB of RAM.
32bit systems don't have enough addressing space for 4GB of RAM, cuz 2^32 - 1 = 4,294,967,295. This space is also shared with other hardware. It's not because Windows is poorly written. Microsoft can't just turn on a magical switch that lets a 32bit OS see all 4GB of RAM.
Because they're a business. Guess what businesses do? They make money. How do you think they manage to make money when their services are provided for free?
I think the point was because when we write about Rome, we don't write "Roma" (Rome), and therefore we shouldn't write "yuhangyuan" (astronaut) when we're writing about astronauts.
What you are saying is like the US invading Iraq and then claiming it as their own, attempting to control all the mosques, torturing and murdering any Muslims who disagree, all in the name of democracy.
Who the hell granted Tibet, or anyone for that matter, the right to self-determination? The way I see it, rights are only granted by two bodies - God, if you believe in one, and the government. Since China obviously doesn't acknowledge any God from which Tibet might derive the right to self-determination from, and neither do they want to grant Tibet the right to self-determination, then I don't see how Tibet possibly gained that right.
Just because your government happened to have promised you a bunch of rights, doesn't mean everyone else in the world is as fortunate.
Oh yeah? Well the "heirs" you speak of didn't exactly inherit the control of China from the Qing dynasty peacefully. If you want to talk about murderous thugs, those heirs of yours don't have a pedigree going back past October 10th, 1911. And those Qing guys didn't have a pedigree going back past 1644. There's no such thing as continuity of government in China.
I've always wondered if there would have been a war in 1997 if England had said, "Ok...our 100 year lease on Hong Kong is up. Time to give Hong Kong back to China...here you go, TAIWAN!"
Seeing how it was the Qing government who signed the lease on Hong Kong, and since the KMT in Taiwan overthrew the Qing government (just like how the communists, in turn, overthrew them!), by your argument those murderous thugs have zero legitimate claim on Hong Kong. I guess if you really wanted to give it back to the "heirs" of the Qing dynasty, you'd best be looking to the Manchus in northern China.

Actually, it was to show people who don't use Vista but are unhappy with it that once they actually try it they are perfectly happy with it.
What charge should I face for forgetting to lock my door after someone walks in and leaves with everything I own?
Let's just refresh one point again. These were two 15 year olds. Kids. Not terrorists or criminals.
Are you suggesting that those are somehow mutually exclusive?
If I caught you reaching into my car the first thing I'd do is call the cops and the second is to grab a baseball bat.

Too damned short. I finish the game in about 7 hours. $30's worth of crack would probably have lasted me longer.
