For anyone wondering, "ecrit" is the informal imperative you would use with friends. "ecrivez" is the polite form of the imperative. No, the complaint was with faulty parallelism. "S'il vous plait" is second person plural, but "ecrit" is second person singular.
I also wrote a report that was copied off of Wikipedia. To cover my tracks, I wrote a Wikipedia article about my report which said that I was the author!
Upon closer inspection, it seems that all of snydeq's submitted stories are multi-page infoworld.com stories, and the one comment that shows up has him plugging yet another infoworld story. (Plus, surprise surprise, his website is listed as infoworld.com)
Let me get this straight: they are talking about an upgrade from a really old datacentre to a really new one (both of which would make or interesting visuals), and there are no photos in the article, which is split into two short pages of text.
Then, when I click on the link for the videos, it's a bunch of 60-second clips of an interview!
Slowing down to force them to pass is a reasonable response, but GPP was advocating slowing down, letting them overtake, then overtaking the (former) tailgater again out of spite. That is road ragey behaviour.
If someone's ignorant enough or asshole enough to tailgate, the best place for them is in front of you where you can see them. Preferably, with lots of room in between, too.
People want the gov't to widen expressways to relieve congestion at peak hours, even though for 22 or so hours a day, the lanes in a given direction are fairly clear (YMMV).
On an individual level, many people would be satisfied with a small car for 95% or more of their trips, but they buy a van or an SUV for that rare trip where they need to carry lumber home or move their teenager into a new dorm.
People are used to being able to handle peak capacity, even if that means gross amounts of waste when all that capacity isn't being used. Sometimes the cost of not being able to handle peak capacity outweighs the cost of providing peak capacity all the time. Other analogies include: electricity supply, idle workers at a construction site, etc.
Firefox has to hold it in memory so it can display it quickly when you click on the tab. It seems to hold the rest of the Internet in there pretty well, I don't see why it should be sluggish when I only have 21 of them open!
You could theoretically burn hydrogen in a fluorine atmosphere and get more energy out, but that assumes a ready supply of elemental fluorine (doesn't exist) and something to do with the hydrogen fluoride that results (HF will corrode glass.) Hence the common saying, "People who live in hydrogen fluoride atmospheres shouldn't throw glass houses."
I agree. I know many people who are (rightly, IMO) skeptical of government, hierarchy, and other coercive authority, but who extend that disbelief to medicine, and are happy to ascribe to homeopathy and various ghastly remedies because they have been used for however many centuries--even though the most basic investigation shows them to be entirely ineffective!
My guess is the cone trails must have made them this naive...
If you are the future of our race, we're screwed. Your choice of words--while tangential to the argument at hand--seems to indicate that your response is more of a hasty alarmist response than a well-considered argument.
But the hostile subtext in the Canadian niceness and politeness is hard for machines to render into American. Hostile subtext? I'm not aware of any hostile subtext. But if you're offended, we're sorry.
Switch "Republicans" with "Democrats", "McCain" with "Obama", and "born-again" with "white", and one could claim that Obama is being set up for failure, too.
I would not be shocked to see Obama win the presidency with an overwhelming landslide. There is a lot of resentment towards the republican party at this time. Bush was re-elected in 2004, despite...well, everything. I am shocked that anyone still thinks the democrats have this election in the bag.

A couple of car analogies:
