Well, there is one, it is actually a couple of years old already. HTC Advantage is the name. It has got a VGA port, a full keyboard and you can use a bluetooth mouse.
AdBlue (a trademark for the urea solution you mentioned) is an option for nearly all modern European trucks and buses because some cities enforce local emission standards. AdBlue for cars is only available in the USA because cars sold in America are way larger and have got larger motors.
The control rods on all other RBMK reactors were redesigned, the fuel is more enriched and the user manuals were corrected so the reactors should be safe.
Oh my god, Civilization on a phone:-O Dude, I can play Monkey Island and Duke Nukem 3D on my Windows Mobile phone. And the screen is also better (3.8" 800x480).
You thinking wrong again. It is not about the power of an empire, it is about technological advance and, well, All-under-Heaven was the most advanced civilisation for many centuries.
The same technological advance came to Europe after nomad Germanic tribes settled down and started agriculture. Iron was needed for ploughshares, livestock is also really possible with agriculture - you need something to feed your cows in the winter.
That series was pretty strange. You've got to watch the last two episodes to realise how good the show is, but to understand them, you've got to watch the whole other episodes first, and they are mostly cheesy.
I am not a fan of Syd's works either but I personally like a number of earlier Floyd's songs like Careful with that axe, Eugene, Echoes (IMHO a masterpiece) or Atom Heart Mother.
It is not about being a healthier diet but about cognitive performance. Advanced civilizations are products of higher cognitive performance which itself is a product of a high carb diet due to agriculture.
The Boeing 737 family was introduced 20 years before the Airbus A320 family.
It doesn't matter much because the number of Boeing 737 airplanes produced in those 20 years before A320 was introduced was quite small in comparison to the total number made (about 1350 machines). There were also about 450 fatalities before 1988. So those numbers can tell that while earlier Boeing 737 machines were even more dangerous than the more modern ones, 737 still sucks in comparison to A32x (1.17x more machines out there, but 5.38x more fatalities or 4.6x more fatalities at the same amount of machines, all other things being equal - and all other things are equal since the quantity of usage is the same (as many flights as possible), the pilots on average being not much different and - given a full hull-loss - the survivability rate of a such crash often being about zero.
It's not, really. Sgt. Pepper was recorded about the same time as the first Pink Floyd album - the Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Both were THE psychedelic rock albums at that time.
A300 and B737 is wrong comparison anyway because the vastly different aircraft size. Let's compare what is comparable: B737 with A32x. There are only 1.5 times more B737 but with 6 times more fatalities*. Or B767 with A330: 1.54x more B767 were built but with 2.4x more fatalities. I am not sure with what bird to compare the A300. Maybe B727? There were 3.26x B727 built than A300 with 3.28x more fatalities, so that one looks even.
It looks that since Airbus has started their fly-by-wire family, their accident rate got much lower than the accident rate of Boeing machines.
*I count only the hull-loss fatalities, not the hijacking ones.
Please stop spreading bullshit. Tn the history of aviation there are far more crashes caused by pilot error than caused by fly by wire. Also, flying Boeing is potentially much more fatal.
Let's compare the statistics for the A320 family and the Boeing 737 family - that's the airplane you are most likely to fly. Of the 6000 delivered Boeing 734 planes there were 144 hull-loss accidents resulting in 3847 fatalities. Of the 3958 delivered A32x there were 20 hull-loss accidents with a total of 631 fatalities.
Yes, that's right. There are only 1.5 times more delivered Boeing 737 but they have a 5 times higher hull-loss accident rate a 6 times higher fatality rate. Correcting for the same number of machines there would be 4.8 times more hull-loss accidents and 4 times more fatalities at Boeing.
Lots of them, actually, but not internationally, because the older models are too loud and the newer ones are too expensive because of lack of scale economy (only a couple of machines are built each year). The older Tu-154 is still very widely used inside Russia because the bird is very robust.
A freeman became a serf usually through force or necessity. Sometimes freeholders or allodial owners were intimidated into dependency by the greater physical and legal force of a local baron. Often a few years of crop failure, a war or brigandage might leave a person unable to make his own way. In such a case a bargain was struck with the lord.
Idea 1 works pretty well in Germany - 7% VAT on necessities (food, milk, print media [except pr0n magazines], mass transit tickets and tickets to theaters and museums). 19% VAT on everything else.

Corporatism or Mussolini-style fascism.

It might be true but the sad part of it is, with all this distortion, you cannot hear the distinct tones anyway.

Only for two or three Apple programs. The rest works like the good old Palm OS.
This is because Windows Mobile allows multitasking.

Yes, sure, but please show me the great Inuit civilization. Oh, there is none?
All great civilizations had one in common: the use of agriculture.

You don't need to see that they were permanently on drugs, you can pretty much hear it in lots of their songs.

Maybe you should change your sitting location.
Ah, by the way, A32x is pure fly by wire.

I can imagine that - it is a major loss of face at Boeing, especially after they laughed so hard at Airbus about those A380 delays.
That's what people said when DX7 was released.
they probably will once windows 7 is out.
here you are.
Not slavery, serfdom.
