The cost of laying thinner roads and maintaining them is much higher then the cost of laying thicker roads and their maintenance. The cost per mile to build an 8 lane us Highway is 8.3 Million (using Florida generic estimates) the estimated cost for a 28" depth as opposed to a 11" depth is 14 million, a standard US road lasts 20 years while the average lifetime in Germany is 40. These costs don't even include the extra maintenance that must be done on cheap roads. The majority of the cost in building a road comes from man hours and machinery, materials is less then a third.
A gallon of regular gas is taxed on average 48.1 cents and diesel 53.1, on top of that semi's pay a Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax which is 12% of the price of gas so that is another 50 cents at the current gas prices, semi's also pay a commerical drivers tax to drive through the state which is based on how many miles they drive in the state. Semi's are taxed proportionally to the amount of damage they do to the roads. The problem is two fold one US highways are thinner then the highways in many other countries which leads to faster wear and cracking, this leads to much more expensive maintenance being done on roads instead of just having them resealed every couple of years. We cheeped out on the upfront costs and are now paying it back 10 fold in the maintenance.
I doubt the graphics will be that far behind, It's more likely that they have a console that surpasses the Sony's and Microsoft's current offerings but will not be able to out spec the PS4 and Xbox 361, which are pretty far off due to the fact the Sony and Microsoft are still not making money on those consoles. The biggest limiting factor will be Nintendo's desire not to lose money on the console and where they put their price point.
My point is after the media pulls shit like that how can they they be trusted as objective. Politically motivated speculation has destroyed any creditability the media once had.
It couldn't be things like Dan Rather being so excited to nail Bush that he didn't even want to check the authenticity of the document, how about the media spending weeks falsely accusing Richard Jewell of the Olympic bombing, how about in the early parts of the failed NYC car bombing angry tea partiers were to blame, or that Jared Loughner committed the Tuscon attack because he was influenced by the tea party. When the news gets back to reporting facts in stead of politically motivated speculation then people will get back to trusting the news. The problem is ignorant people like you who can't see the bullshit right in front of them and instead of thinking on you own you are fed another line of BS like all the other sheep out there. Start acting like an intelligent person by looking at the validly of your news sources, instead of attacking Fox news because they are the antithesis of the other networks, you are just a ignorant as the people who get their propaganda from Fox. For the record I am well aware of Fox news BS, how could I not visiting/.
You forgot about the third option when it is time to downsize. Acquire small company with profitable ratio of engineers to managers, relocate some of your extra managers to the formally profitable company making it barely profitable and making the larger company profitable, repeat until too large to fail then stop spending money on buying successful companies and start spending money on buying politicians.
Foil backed foam and has been used since the 70's, the foil does allow radio waves to be received,the simplest way to think of it is that the signal hits the foil and is then retransmitted by the foil. Faraday cages keep signals out by canceling the field with the opposite signal which is retransmitted from the opposite side and only work if they are continuous and grounded, they do not work in reverse. Coaxial cables have a shielding that protects the inner conductor from noise but the signal can still be observed from the outside.
And why were on the subject why is it so good to be cutting edge, a blunt edge is just as good. A sword to the head will have the same result at a bat to the head.
I learned a new word today, I can't wait to use it in an inappropriate setting. Am I using it correctly if after a co-worker asks me fix his fuck up I say all I will need is some turdshine.
So... What type of sites do you browse that you don't care for the feds to know about? Anime Tentacle Porn usually isn't illegal, you know...
It's not the legality that worries me (all my illegal fun happens behind an encrypted VPN) it's that my neighbors will know I'm into Anime Tentacle Porn, for that kind of shame $50 is too low.
While I am uneasy about patents, a case for truly innovative products can be made. But this is not innovation. This is patenting whatever one can. Like:
Enable display of a webpageâ(TM)s content before the background image is received, allowing users to interact with the page faster;
You have got to be effen kidding me. That's a patent? Who was the bonehead that thought something like that is innovation?
It is innovation just not innovation in the 21st century, Microsoft filed a patents for tabbed browsing in 1997 and so the patent have expired yet they are still trying to get people to pay for protection to "Give people easy ways to navigate through information provided by their device apps via a separate control window with tabs"
This is why the problem isn't Windows. These people will do whatever is necessary to make profit. Linux would be just as well targeted if it had the same market share and amount of stupid people. Windows as an OS is secure, especially Windows 7, but there's nothing you can do about user stupidity unless you close down the whole OS. And is that something we really want to happen, locked "consoles" for everyone?
Not entirely true Linux isn't a single OS there are many different distributions these different variations cause a problem with exploiting flaws the uniformity of windows and it's popularity make it a good target.
Any background search is going to come up with this incident, she could very well be excluded from getting a job because of this. So although she more then likely won't be convicted of anything she will have this associated with her forever. That seems about right for "not knowing" where her broke boyfriend got a $12,000 ring from.
Soccer yes that is what it is called, would probably be too boring even for a computer and sleep mode would have to be disabled, because of ties there would be no motivation to try to score so there would be even more kicking it back and forth.
They all ready use them in the NFL, but are not supposed to used it during the game. I remember an old 60 minutes special where they talked about this system where the computer would be given down, distance, position, and personnel and would give the odds on play calls and each player's previous footage could be watch for that particular play to see if they have a tell.
Perfectly said, computers can replace repetitive jobs, but are no where near being able to critically think, once the computers learn to critically think humans will have two jobs batteries and members of the human resistance.

Yes you can get a 2 or 3 year old refurbished computer from dell for $300.

He was there for 6 years and never was bothered if he used encryption at first I'm sure he got tired entering his key and decided to go unencripted.
He received a spam text that blew him up. spam kills
Then you can bet they won't have any pictures of Hillary's...
I'm sure they have panoramic cameras that can handle the job.

When fox news creates a fake Kenyan birth certificate your point will become valid until then your just making baseless accusations.

Is it the better spinal alignment that gave him proper balance to walk on water?

I'm sure he is more worried about a SQL injection.

My privacy is worth much more then a crappy router that will accidentally send all my browsing information.

that leave students in high debt for jobs that pay little
The majority of liberal arts programs would fall into that category.
