but why focus on manufacturing expertise when we can focus on innovation expertise? the way i see it, most manufacturing processes are meant for countries that are 2nd or third world. those are the types of countries that you can get cheap uneducated labor. 1st world countries have better educated populations and they should focus on educating their entire population so that they can innovate and invent stuff that gets manufactured in those designated manufacturing countries. thats exactly whats happening right now. one day, china's economy will become big enough that cheap labor for them is also going to be more difficult to come by and they'll find some other country to outsource their manufacturing to as the majority of their population becomes better educated and suited for innovating jobs.
China's desire to control its exchange rate isn't just advantageous for them, its good for us (those of us in westernized countries) too. If it wasn't for their exchange rate, we wouldn't be able to buy all the cheap products we have today. Flat screen monitors, computers, hell even little dinky plastic parts would be much more expensive. As much as we may not like our money flowing into the east, I highly doubt anyone here would be willing to give up the lifestyle that cheap Chinese products has provided us.
And bbviously, you're not a good reader. The dude authoritatively said that dehydration is the primary cause of a hangover, based on a wiki link that he cited. However, the wiki link doesn't say that and is in fact inconclusive about what the primary cause of hangover is, let alone what causes a hangover.
besides that, the original poster's point may actually be correct too. There are other things in different types of alcohol that cause hangovers to be worse/better than others, which the dude citing wikipedia is trying to discredit. however, the wikipedia article even specifically mentions white wine causing less of a hang over than red wine because of content other than alcohol (and subsequently ethanol dehydration).
finally, that dude citing wikipedia decided to go off and be a pompous fucking ass by saying the original poster had brain damage. so i felt the need to put him in his place instead of misrepresenting what the wikipedia article said, which he originally cited, not me.
Don't forget about the wankel's. Mazda didn't really perfect it until late in the 80's and even then, they didn't get to keep using them for very long. But my point to the gp was that an inline 6 is not better than a v8 if everything else was equal. Hell, an inline configuration is probably the worst engine configuration choice for performance.
my point was that anyone thats serious about performance wouldn't chose an inline configuration for an engine. They'd chose a boxer or v configuration over inline any day. And if there was free reign for engine choice, I'd be willing to be that the wankel motor might be chosen. Mazda would probably still be kicking ass in le mans if their wankel didn't get banned.
I wonder why people always start claiming their rights so late.
I'm not a patent/trademark lawyer nor have I ever gone through the process but I'd imagine that if they filed it in May, they didn't get it until a few months later. Upon receiving the trademark, they then proceeded to consult a lawyer and build a case that they could take to court. All that takes a substantial amount of time. Doesn't seem to me like these guys took their time. If this was 2011, however, I'd agree with you.
the gtr is crap dude. that video you saw at the ring was total bullshit. watch the video again. the gtr's time starts with a moving start and the time doesn't stop where he started. nissan totally cheated in their "claim". additionally, there was speculation that the car wasn't stock. in fact, iirc, one of the nissan engineers flat out admitted they were running slicks or race tires where as the zr1 was running stock tires at the ring. think about it man... that car is 150 hp underpowered and something like 500 pounds heavier compared to a zr1. i'm pretty sure the gtr's skidpad numbers are also way worse than the zr1's. but anyways, if you do enough googling, the gtr is full of shit. its an engineering marvel that can't compete with the rest of the supercars on the track.
That must be why F1 cars use a V8 configuration too right? The only straight six turbo that can haul ass is the porsche. But even then, thats a flat, not inline
Well sure, the MAFIAA might get the smack down from law makers eventually. But all they'll need to do is add something to their code that attempts to the suspected client and see if they really are running a torrent client and seeding files. That would quickly shut down whatever ruckus you would like to cause.
While you're churning away your super optimized C code which runs faster than god knows what and finally debugging the library to handle your super cusotmized tcp/ip replacement, I'll have already rolled out the application you wanted to do, but in some "non-programming/scripting" language like PHP, Ruby, Python, or hell... even Java.
There's a purpose for every language out there and frankly, writing some form of code to have a computer perform specific tasks is called programming. So please contain your ego instead of going off and spouting things like...
Hell AT&T gets a free stress test of their network which is something they should be doing anyway.
I sure as hell hope they have their engineers prepared to monitor and analyze the cell tower usage to see where and how to improve the network. Its not everyday you get free load testing of your production environment.

right... as opposed to it being about race just in America. No where else in the world do people discriminate by race, right?
It's human nature, everything is about race any more. It's identity politics.
Fixed that for you
100,000,000 deaths total
192 countires in the world
100,000,000/192 = 520 833.333
520,833.33 > 500,000
seems like ww2 is still more deadly than iraq even though not every single country in the world was involved in ww2

i don't need to provide a citation to anything. you're the one that cited wikipedia and misrepresented what it said.
and yet the article in wikipedia clearly says...
"Hypoglycemia, dehydration, acetaldehyde intoxication, and vitamin B12 deficiency are all theorized causes of hangover symptoms".
so how can you authoritatively assert what causes a hangover when the scientists, at least according to that article, aren't even sure?
I was hoping to read about a planet full of blond beauties in bikinis
Apparently, the patent office is on a streak of common sense recently...

Parent has a point. ZR1 is the fastest production car through the ring and various other tracks.

uhhh... what? are you kidding me? M3 skidpad number is 0.98 and the 335i skidpad is 0.87

Why use Emacs when you can use VIM in Firefox?
well, technically, an html page is just a plain text file
so what, steve balmer still threw the chair first
Obviously, if you can't prove that the bugs don't exist, then they do.
Plus, php deliberately doesn't let you execute multiple statements with one call
I beg to differ...
