I don't think that's a very good way to tell. Some of my favorite restaurants are empty at times. Some are rarely full.
You know what kinds of restaurants are always full? Applebee's, McDonalds, the Cheesecake Refinery, places like that. Following the herd often backfires in my opinion.
Demand is only local with artificial restraints on trade. If the pharma company can make it wherever is cheapest why can't consumers buy it wherever is cheapest?
There's certainly bad drivers everywhere. Between distracted driving, aggressive behavior, ineptitude, and carelessness the roads are not friendly! The situation isn't helped by inefficient light signal cycles in many places. I would guess that 3-5 light runners per lane is a result of a light that has too short of a cycle.
If only bad drivers were removed from the driving pool more frequently. Fatality rates are down and it is damn near impossible to lose your license.
Still, that seems like an excessive number of wrecks and I've lived in LA and SF!
LEDs are diodes, but they are shitty diodes. They are optimized to emit light.
Most LEDs have low reverse breakdown voltage ratings, so they will also be damaged by an applied reverse voltage above this threshold. LEDs driven directly from an AC supply of more than the reverse breakdown voltage may be protected by placing a diode (or another LED) in inverse parallel.
I was able to find AGP and PCI (!) video cards new last year. I don't have any experience with ExpressCard or USB video. There are a ton of used video devices winding up for sale because people are upgrading to higher resolution.
As far as scan converters, I found a closeout on a low-res model. I figured it doesn't matter with TV resolution so low anyway. There are always lots on craigslist or ebay or whatever.
I think there is nothing more American than fighting for what you believe in. A strong America needs citizens to struggle with issues like these. I don't know when, if ever, it is time to stop trying. I salute the few lonely souls left who pursue Prohibition, even if I don't agree with them. It can be frustrating that the battle is never won sometimes (e.g. the abortion debate is older than I am and I am pushing 40) but asking Americans to give up based on one vote is insanity. Some people liken gay rights to the civil rights movement or suffrage. I don't agree, but I want them to continue fighting for what they believe in.
I hope you can accept that all kinds of people with all kinds of ideas can be part of America and that they should all fight for what is important to them. This country was founded on rebelling against a controlling authoritarian regime and I want to see that live on.
Moving many thousands of employees and all that equipment would cost billions of dollars, disrupt operations for years, result in extreme turnover, result in numerous problems due to leases and contracts being broken, etc.
All wasted if MA decides to ban gay marriage.
Your question cannot have been serious. I have a question: Why don't you believe in fighting for ideals? Do you meekly run away from anything that isn't going your way?
You are completely wrong Natural gas transmission and distribution costs are about 50% of consumer prices. Every dollar spent on gas costs a dollar to distribute.
This is ignoring the very inefficient wells, treatment, etc. involved in harnessing gas. It absolutely does not come right out of the ground. Depending on the age and condition of the wells, you may get as little as a third of the gas to the distributor.
You picked an unfortunate example. I worked at a satellite company for a while and the Golf Channel was one of the moneymakers. People would upgrade their package to get the Golf Channel. The only more popular nonpremium requested channels were Fox News and AMC.
I didn't work on the financial side, but I bet they could tell you how it all breaks down. I know one thing for sure, every channel had dedicated viewers. Even one of the shopping channels would trigger an avalanche of calls if it lost the feed.
Since English doesn't have a governing body it is defined by common usage. If enough people start using an apostrophe to mean "Oh Noes here comes an S" then that is what English is.
I just hope I'll be long dead by the time English is all txt-speeked into illegibility.

Until that groundwork is done, you might as well base your system of medicine around santa claus.
Have you seen any current TV shows or movies? The Syreen are blandly G these days. Disney films are more graphic. If anything, UQM needs a lot more violence, scatological humor, and sexual innuendo to make a non-toddler rating.
NY accents can be tough to dodge. I knew a lady with the classic NY Jewish accent who spent 20 years speaking French in Africa. She sounds like anyone speaking French, but when she switches to English I could pick her out of a noisy crowd without trying.
I see it the opposite way: There would be an enormous, highly taxable, highly profitable market. Every level of government would take a juicy slice, numerous corporations would profit obscenely, and users would have sharply higher quality goods for a lower price. Not to mention an instant freeze on criminal syndicate funding.
I'm pretty surprised no canny pol or CEO has figured this angle and done something to tap this gigantic fountain of cash.
Yeah, the 7-11 bandits that get <$10 plus some beer and cigarettes crack me up. A lot of crime seems very inefficient. $200 for a new car window, $200 for a new stereo, $200 for the dashboard repairs, and the thief got $20.
I knew a bank robber. I didn't know he was knocking over banks at the time, but he later was in a long distance high speed chase ending in suicide by cop. Pretty surprising to everyone that knew him. I think he got ground down by his circumstances for too long. He spent so many years having to scrimp and do without it made him crazy. I remember him going out to eat a lot and buying little gifts for his friends and seeming happier than usual. I guess for him a lousy $60k (assuming he got $10k per bank) was worth dying for.
The truly weird thing was when he got away from the 5th bank it was very close. He was driving on medians and shoulders, through fields like a maniac during rush hour with dozens of cops on his tail. Somehow he got away and instead of ditching the car and going straight he laid low for a month and did it again.
There is another small window of time, probably already ending, where being good at doing 320x240 images is a useful skill. It was a bit of a shock to realize that my mobile phone has the exact same screen size as my first computer.
This scheme does nothing. Let's pretend you are, through whatever means, on a malicious copy of your Merrill Lynch site. Merril1-Lynch.com just logs in to merill-lynch.com and hands everything back and forth. They give your real site your username. The real site gives a picture. They give you the picture. Etc. Nothing is gained. It is security theater.
Someone figured that out, and some sites now register your IP address or a cookie and if it is different they ask you for your mother's maiden name or whatnot. Guess what? My IP address and cookies change all the time. So now I have my mother's maiden name and favorite movie flowing around everywhere, and malicious sites can simply pass these questions and answers on, then get to the serious business of forwarding the pictures, then get involved in the boring financial transactions.
Does BART have a bad reputation? Every time I've been to SF I have been impressed by transit. Between the BART/Muni/CalTrain I have been able to get every place I needed to go without a car, relatively quickly and hassle-free. I had a car once in SF, due to traveling up PCH and hated it. Parking was a bitch, I had to get up early to move my car twice, and even though it burned like fire I paid $25 to park my car for a single night. Not to mention sitting in traffic, wishing I could be underground in a nice train actually getting somewhere without the stress.

New York was part of the Dominion of New England. York was in England. New York is considered to be part of "Greater New England"
There are a lot of mitigating factors in mistakenly placing New York in New England.

Damn, 7 in 8 years?! Either you are extremely unlucky, or you drive like a sociopath.
You'll probably get around to it eventually.

I stole that from the wikipedia article on LEDs

You can pick up a $20 video card (it's fun to have 2 video cards anyway) or you can buy a VGA to S-video converter. I got one for $5 online.
I figure I'm going to have old SDTVs around for a while, why not be able to watch computer video on them?

You probably would get the exact same look if you said something not sarcastic with a MA accent.
