+1 Insightful.

Maybe to you and me, but to MisterMidi it seemed painfully un-obvious.

Interesting, I didn't realize that the reduction in air density at height greatly offsets the cost to get there. I assumed it would be similar to how gunning it to 130 MPH in a car and then costing down to 55 will kill your fuel economy.

It's been slow that people have been toeing into Linux to be sure, but to shut them out entirely, I fear, would make them all clam up for another fifteen years. I'm hopeful that Steam and Source on Linux will take off, but if I can only get 60% of the framerate on Linux that I get on Windows then sticking with Windows is cheaper because I can put off new video cards longer.

Not really. There are two pay scales on which credit card companies charge fees to merchants, either a flat fee per transaction or a percentage. (Very rarely both.)

The flat fee is usually on the order of 50 cents per transaction. Possibly closer to 30 cents, I'm not exactly sure. Percentage is usually something like 5%. Both are higher for Amex and Discover. (One of a few reasons they're less often accepted.)

The reason gas stations and convenience stores often don't accept credit cards for sales less than $10 is that their margins are tight enough that they usually aren't making a dollar off of you until you get up to at least $10 so between paying for the cashier, rent and fees they're losing money on you.

It's possible that in this case $0.01 is -$0.39 or so but it's more likely that the Humble Bundle is on a percentage scale at about 6%. So $0.01 is $0.0094 instead. They probably don't get rounded out against except maybe by $0.01 per day.

Because it costs a shit-ton of energy to get up to that high altitude. Much more than just going directly from point A to point B.

Sorry, I was just making a joke. Didn't mean to step in your pet shit pile.

Depends on how the first to file/first to invent law gets interpreted once it goes into effect. Birds never filed AFAIK. (They found it "obvious.")

And you're okay with that? Because last I looked Linux still held a single digit market share on laptops and desktops. "Sorry, but your graphics experience is shit until some super-hackers reverse-engineer the most complex subcomponent of the PC." isn't going to win many new users.

It's fake accounts.

Oh yeah, shooting unarmed civilians would be a complete end to any civilized western nation.

Ah, sorry, didn't realize the dispute was over whether milk was the largest black market rather than whether it was a large black market.

I'd wonder if illegal subletting and illegal loft renting is a larger black market than drugs in NYC though.

Try searching for '"new york" "black market" milk' and you'll get a number of news reports on the issue.

In both of the two states where I have resided bicycles are vehicles and are allowed to take up a full lane as such. In addition, I believe that in the state I currently live in bicycles are encouraged to go to the front of the line at a stop light.

I do, however, agree that bicyclists need to observe the same rules as other vehicles such as stopping at stop signs and red lights and signalling.

Because it's legally required to trickle down perhaps?
