The discussion was about taxes. Not tariffs, not government contracts, not immigration, not government regulation, not bailouts, not legislation- it was about TAXES. You failed to address my point that people who have to actually pay taxes "get" any money in the process. You might say that they are "given" a refund, but a refund is just that the government TOOK too much of THEIR money and has to return some. It's NOT the government's money. Some people do in fact get money from the federal government from filing an income tax return, but it's from things like the "earned income credit" and it is NOT people who are earning very much that get it.
How is the government "giving even more money to the rich?" Last time I checked, if you pay taxes, you earn your money and the government takes some of it- the government is *getting* money from those people, not giving any to them.
I found such a system in a computer store's junk pile (they gave me permission to root through it and take whatever). There were about 20 socket 370 boards, several of which could support any PIII Coppermines made (even the 133 MHz FSB units.) Maybe you could look at places like that in your area?
Something done by the US government is NOT a conspiracy?! That's ludic- oh, I see, your tinfoil hat must have fallen off and the government's secret mind-control rays got to you.
The Debian Etch installer lets you choose between the Ubuntu-style single-user-with-sudo setup or a more traditional separate root and unprivileged user (who is NOT in wheel and cannot use sudo out of the box.) So you can do the whole sudo before everything bit on Debian too.
If you are talking about the *reaction* of the two major parties to third parties, yes, they do feel as if the third parties are illegitimate and "stealing votes."
If you think that the third parties are actually created by the two major parties as a diversion, then I think your tinfoil hat is a little too tight...
Gears can also be used to allow for the vehicle to travel faster than the "redline" of the powerplant. I seem to remember the Tesla's motor being able to run up over 10k rpm, so this may not be an issue with a direct-drive system and typical differential gear ratios.
If you live in an area where it gets any bit warm (above 80 F) you know that a simple change of clothes is not enough to clean up after a decent bike ride or any semi-strenuous activity physical lasting more than about five to ten minutes. You have to stop sweating and shower or else you will be quite nasty to be around for the rest of the day. That can take a half hour at least and your work has to have shower facilities available. For most people, this is not the case and one more nail in the long-bike-commute-to-work coffin.
I am also a medical student that graduated with an engineering degree. My engineering degree was in biological engineering as opposed to civil, chemical, or any other discipline of engineering, so I wasn't received any differently than people with the pretty-much-standard biology degree as I had many of the same core classes. I will say that an engineering background *does* make some aspects of medical school harder and some easier. You will likely not be as good of a "cram-and-dump" memorizer, which will knock your fill-in-the-bubble exam scores down a bit compared to others. But engineering is great for problem solving and math and you'll notice this when it comes to the practicals. As far as math goes, medical math is not complicated but you will have to do algebra and arithmetic frequently. I'd have paid for half of my tuition if I got a nickel for every time I did a simple calculation in my head or on a notepad (such as mg/kg dosages) and the non-engineer student or doctor there with me had to whip out the smartphone or calculator and take three times as long.
That's absolutely correct. This is why there cannot be OSS support for the R6xx Universal Video Decoder, according to AMD's interview with Phoronix (http://phoronix.com). The hardware blocks that handle DRM were apparently too ingrained with the decoder and thus information for super-low-level access to them cannot be freely given, although you are free to try to reverse-engineer this in a country free of a DMCA-type law.
It's no problem to sell your goods to different people in different areas for a different price, but it IS a problem to block the resulting arbitrage due to resale.
The ethanol I am talking about is >=85% ethanol/=15% gasoline, not the 5-10% ethanol/90-95% gasoline blends that are sold in many urban areas. The regular unleaded where I live is straight gasoline but the mid-grade (89 octane) and premium (91-93 octane) have 10% ethanol as an octane booster.
Uh, this *is* a renewable form of energy as it takes in plants and plant products, which are most certainly renewable. Just because the product is oil instead of a non-oil product doesn't mean that it is not renewable.
And about the "global warming" bit- also no. Plants take in CO2 to form cellulose and sugars, and the bacteria turn these into the oil. The oil is burned, releasing said CO2. The process is zero-sum as far as CO2 is concerned as long as the plant sources regrow/are replanted (and they will be as they will be a crop of sorts.) Just because the product is oil instead of a non-oil product doesn't mean that it causes increased CO2 levels.
Finally, somebody gets it. The distribution and retail arms of the oil companies are huge, so the oil companies would be just as happy selling some non-petroleum product as long as their existing distribution and retail methods work with little modification. Case in point- almost all stations around where I live are happily selling ethanol alongside normal gasoline and diesel fuel.
The thing that really worries the oil companies are energy sources such as electricity that use a different distribution and retail method.
So then waving around a bread knife (main purpose: cutting bread), a baseball bat (main purpose: hitting baseballs), a cast-iron pipe (main purpose: transmitting gases or fluids), or a crowbar (main purpose: demolition) isn't intimidating?
So then it looks like we're both playing the same game:
China: "We lack the capability to infiltrate your networks." (False, they already did it.) U.S. Navy: "We lack the capability to defend against your subs." (False, the incident didn't happen.)

You know, you can use more than 3.x GB of RAM in 32-bit Ubuntu by using a PAE-enabled kernel.
The citizens in the UK don't have guns (for the most part) but the police and criminals do.
So a post entitled "mod article troll" would be appropriate here?

It was one of the two legit copies in the country?
"We still have the same appliances we did 50 years ago, and that is not likely to change in the next 100 years."
Yes, and everybody had microwaves in the 1950s. Oh, wait...

Cracking down on people illegally copying and selling MS software has NOTHING to do with abusing a monopoly.
