Your logic is based on the assumption that one has an old car, then buys a new car which one proceeds to drive for 15 years. That just doesn't work out. In my experience, people change cars about every 4-5 years. The older (more polluting/less safe) cars are "handed down", while a less polluting/more safe car is aquired. It's not just about the energy, but also safety and comfort. And for some, status.
Upping the power will increase the background noise (and bleed into the neighbouring channels). It will appear that your dick^Wsignal gets better since it's "louder", but it won't help since the client is still transmitting at low power. With different hardware, you can transmit at higher power without fucking up the entire spectrum. But with consumer-level crap, don't think it'll help because it won't.
Actually, you're wrong. Increasing the transmit power will decrease your S/N ratio. It's actually better to lower the transmit power a bit, since there will be more signal and less noise.
It appears the DHS doesn't like Chrome users. I can't complete the process using Chrome. Works fine in Firefox tho..
One interesting detail though... The norwegian translation also translates the address for US Customs and border control: "U.S Tollvesen og Grensekontroll, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, rom 3.2.C., Washington DC 20229. Exp. 3-31-2009"
The subway still has the same problem as trains. They're still bloody trains, just running underground. And how exactly is using a Taxi better than driving your own car?
The same law of physics that makes it harder to stop with ABS in loose snow and gravel. If you lock your brakes on slush, the tires push the slush in front of them, effectively digging itself downwards. With ABS though, you regularly remove any slush build-up that can help you brake. I have personally experienced this (I live in Norway..) From the Wikipedia article on ABS: "In gravel, sand and deep snow, ABS tends to increase braking distances. On these surfaces, locked wheels dig in and stop the vehicle more quickly. ABS prevents this from occurring."
In almost all cases, ABS is a "Good Thing(TM)". In a few corner cases, it's not quite as good. Either way, it's in no way an excuse for driving like an idiot.
Do you think there's no R&D here in Norway? Granted, R&D budgets are smaller here, since we're only about 5 million people. But R&D has by no means stopped. Do you honestly think that big pharma will disappear with "free" health care? I don't. In fact, with universal healthcare, big pharma has an even bigger market. Why? Because I'm not paying for the cure, the government is. For everybody.
My jaw dropped when I saw that page. Until I saw "The quoted income tax rate is, except where noted, the top rate of tax: Most jurisdictions have lower rate of taxes for low levels of income." That was the difference between the stated 54.3% that page states and my 18% taxes paid. I live in Norway BTW, which arguably has one of the best healtcare systems in the world.
Slashdot ceased being a nerd site the moment you signed up. The OP is really just being a stupid troll. Who the heck gives a flying fuck about fallout, metal gear solid, gta? Just because he doesn't understand it, doesn't mean it isn't cool/great/awesome/nerdy. It just means he's plain stupid. Kinda like you are being right now.
You are glossing over quite a few details. I'll add one. The Earths energy input is the sun. But it also has a tremendous amount of energy just sitting around, in the form of heat right below our feet. That can't possibly affect the climate either, can it? There can't be any changes in heat output?
The whole climate debate is full of idiots and failed scientific method. There is no proof, and little correlation, yet it is preached like gospel. There is no doubt a good thing to be reducing our emissions. But at what cost? <rambling> Currently, here in Norway, the government is going crazy taxing car owners. If they actually cared about the environment, there's a bunch of things that could be done to reduce emissions markedly. Yet, they are not interested in those. Because that would mean less money for the state, even though it would improve the environment. </rambling> My point is... Both "sides" claim to have irrefutable proof, and are unwilling to even consider the possibility of an error. Assumptions are thrown about as the one and only truth. This is worse than organized religion for fucks sake! It even rakes in more money!
Who the fuck are these Norweigan? I happen to be from a country called Norway, where a bunch of Norwegians live. These people are ripping off our heritage!
The Synology devices are notoriously hard to hack if you decide you want an alternative firmware at a later point. But I guess that is what is to be expected from Microsoft culture (Synology was started by ex-MS employees). I'd go with QNAP instead. Pretty much the same products (and price range...), but with a community backing.

This system wouldn't help you if you lift your car in a crane and drop it on another car either! OMFG!
"Occasionally" is good. "Rarely" would be better. Even "Often" would be OK. The whole point here was that it saves more than it kills.

Ah, so "fear" == "respect" in your world.

Trains are OK if you want to go from A to B. Once you want to go from F to J, OTOH, you're fucked.
The ones responsible for firing the posters involved have been fired.
Yes, a møøse once bit my sister.
"teenage" implies the age thirteen to nineteen. My guess is that none of the 4chan trolls have yet reached the golden age of thirteen.
The history is written by the victor(s). All the 10,000 people you killed had rabies, AIDS and were nazi zombies!

So it's not a fantasy. It's a reality.
If you bought parts for your computer in the scale of millions, you'd get them a hell of a lot cheaper...
They can still make money by selling the console at a loss. They just need to sell enough PS3s to create a large enough market for games.
Won't anyone think of the trees!?
Won't work. Once the vote is public information, people can be bought/pressured to change their vote.

The TS-109 will probably run faster if you run foonas on it ;)
