What I do not believe you realsie is that in the UK when you buy a CD, unlike in most the rest of the western world, you have only purchased the licences to the specific physical copies on the medium, thus if you were to want to copy any of them to tape or digial media, then you would need to purchase an additional licence per track from the music owner.
Ford own only 30% of Mazda Motors, Mazda Corporation are still the majority stock holders.
The deal was done as a joint technology swap, with Ford investing money in Mazda rather than buying the technology. Mazda get chassis, Ford get engine technology.
A Mazda Rotary engine in a RX-7 or RX-8 has 3 moving parts - the crank and two rotors. In the 20B engine from the Cosmos it had 4 moving parts as there was a third rotor.
So just how many parts does a boinger (piston) engine have ?
In Japan the FD3 (3rd generation RX-7) was made up to 2002. Also the engine was a redesign, though only partial, hence being the 13B-REW as opposed to the 13B (13 stood for 1.3 litres). The 20B in the Cosmos was also effectively a REW engine. Of note - the Renasis engine in the RX-8 is still only an advancement on the 13B-REW.
The reason turbos were not added to the RX-8 were two fold. 1 heat, 2 a lack of engine space, which is why FD3 owners such as myself are still hoping for a FE3 being launched in 2007/8.
On the mechanic side of things - I agree with the lack of understanding, especially on the tuning side. Rotary engines have to be more finely tuned as they are moer delicate. Knock can cause a tip to go, which will result in an engine build.
First, Wankel engines were notoriously unreliable due to bearing and tip wear issues.
Secondly, the Mazda eninge is not a Wankel design, but rather there own development. The Wankel engine is a circular unit that rotates around a simple shaft. The Mazda rotary engine, the intenal part is actually triangular in shape and rotates around a concetric shaft, resulting in a figure of 8 motion.
The latter was supposedly developed independently of the Wankel unit, both getting thereinspiration from WW2 fighter engines.
I seem to remember the idea of a Ringworld movie was being touted, but the CGI budget at the time was figured to be too large, plus you had the usual problem with Niven's stuff that things make a lot more sense if you've read a few of his other books.
What has been described must surely exist in the US only. On the English language European servers there are a large quantity of people for whom English is a secondary or tertiary language, especeially from the Nordic countries and Benelux. I've not heard of any of them being challenged in such a way, we get our share of loot/gold farmers too alas.
I know I'd fail the test - I am truly terrible when it comes to in-game typoes, I'm just glad that as a sys admin and consultant in real life I do some what better.
Dapprxxx on the Dragonblight Euro server (and Test2 during the Final and Open betas).
Never proven alas, and I seem to remember (it's been over 10 years since I read the book), that he was in a 2 man team and his spotter was wounded right at the very start.
Buy a skode with this device attached in Leeds (in the NE of England), but then as a result get a discount for the London congestion scheme some 2-3 hours drive away ?

As a limey I need to point out that we believe you colonials have already destroyed the Queen's english, and thus it is just a natural progression of the deformation of the mother tongue.
Actually, during the middle ages, there are lots of examples of mass slaughters regardless of age - i.e. York in England, or any captured city during the Crusades (where all, Muslims, Jews and Christians were slaughtered by hte invaders).
I know the UK might seem rather small to you US guys, but Sellafield is over 250 miles away from London. One is in the SE corner of the country, the other the NW corner of England.
And by heck, I can remember when it were called Windscale.
I loved my Palm Vx as well until I some how managed to gouge a chunk out of the graffiti area (still to this day not sure how). Replaced it with a T2, but after 6 months I had almost thrown it at a wall so many times, that when I found a SE P900 satisfied most of my needs I jumped across. Not looked back since though it could (and in the P910 guise does) do with more memory.
It must be noted though, that I am a heavy PDA user and can't live without one (o.k. maybe I could go back to a filofax in it's mini format).
One of the UK motoring programs (5th gear) did an economy test of various cars and it did not do that well. You only get the benefit of the electric motor when in stop start traffic. Once moving the batteries are being charged and the petrol engine is being used. Round town as a shopping cart it was good, as a commuting vehicle it sucked.
The first cameras appeared in london, not as an anti-crime monitoring system, but as an anti-terrorism measure after the Natwest Tower bombing. Since then there has only been one terrorist incident in London (when a RPG was fired at the MI6 building in Vauxhall, south of the river). This must be counted as a partial sucess at least.
Dear Mr. Privacy advocate, please make up your mind. Is it 3rd party copmpanies or local councils who run the cameras. Actually it's the latter within the M25 as well.
I note you're very quick to complain about corruption, yet I bet you can provide no proof. I assume you're one of those sad students who like to pedal Socialist Worker, failing to notice the communist ideology has never worked in real life.
So a terrorist is going to balk at using a disabled person to carry a weapon/bomb. I think not.
There was rather a good TV program on yesterday afternoon on the History Channel in the UK over airline security. One of the incidents they discussed was where a palastinian terrorist planted a bomb, on his pregnent girlfriend when she was going to fly from Nortern Ireland to the US. She was unaware of it.
This terrorist, pre suicide bomber days) was prepared to kill his own unborn child, so what qualms has a terrorist these days in sacrificing an invalid. After all martyrdom and a relief from suffering at the same time.
Terrorists have done it lots of times, and it has worked lots of times because the majority of the airlines and the western nations do not learn their lessons and do not properly apply security measures.
Pretending otherwise is living in ignorance, which frankly, it is obvious most the US people using/. seem to want to do.

I know Vonage is listed, but I can not beleive Skype is not. I suppose they may have decided that as they had one down, they'ed ignore the other.
Always wondered what happened to the original batch. perhaps now we know ....
Don't most people either hide or get blindingly drunk on their 30th ?
Hmmm I wonder what sort of damage a company can do when pissed out of it's skull - I see a Largo moment from Megatokyo here.

You contest the fewer moving parts ?

We've had the same sort of thing in the UK now for about 7 or 8 years, however it does not stop all those annoying automated spam calls from the US.

Wonder if anyone still makes type writers, and if not, how much they are on eBay ...
So let me get this straight.

Can anyone else (in the UK) see a flaw here ?

Scary how well that scored - eek.
I've only watched the voting part for years - Terry Wogan's comments are superb, though this year he did sound more sober than normal.

When was the last El Al flight hijacked or bombed ? After all the discussion here was meant to be airport and airplane security.
