San Franscisco is the 2nd most walkable city in America (after NYC). Only idiots drive here.

Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay for it
So said Publilius Syrus in 43 AD.
And unlike "young earth creationism", the backers of "libertarian economics" are supporting an economic system which was developed by the rich with the sole purpose of finding a reason to lower their taxes. And if you're last name is Koch, you can describe this as "charity" or "philanthropy".
Another way to think about infinity (discretely).
How many round numbers above 0 are there? Well, 1,2,3,4,...10000000...infinity right? Let's call that group "natural numbers".
How many odd numbers are there above 0? Also infinity. Let's call that group "positive odds".
While both numbers are infinite, I can say with reasonable precision that there are twice as many natural numbers as there are positive odd numbers and that every positive odd number is also a natural number.
If you agree to that proposition, you'd have to agree that all infinities aren't equal.
"Notice how many TV shows are about Law Enforcement these days?"
We've always had shows about law enforcement, what's changed is perspective from the 70/80's to the 90/2000's.
The former were about largely about innocent people accused of crime who got exonerated (Matlock, Murder She Wrote, Perry Mason, Diagnosis Murder) or plain old bad detectives (Get Smart, Inspector Gadget, The Pink Panther).
In the modern era, the cops always find the right bad guy who may get off due to technicalities (Cold Case, Law and Order, CIS, Special Victims Unit, 24, Cops).
When the cops are always moral and their accused guilty, our justice system eventually has laws passed to conform to our notions of pop culture.
I'm guessing you're white?
I lived in Houston for 8 years. And Texas is indeed rascist -- not even Anise Parker has the power to change Rick Perry's laws. Look at imprisonment statistics, the capitol case involving a man sentences to death who didn't kill anybody (...but the law of parties is wonderful!) or the black man dragged behind the back of a pickup (which was in Weider [sic] IIRC).
You can say "I didn't see any bigotry". The KKK guy who slaughtered Jewish folk inside a synagogue was "Nice to other white people" according to its mayor.
Yahoo is the largest email provider on the planet and messenger is much more popular outside the US, much like Ali Baba.
Can't make a better product? Try FUD (TM) for all your business needs!
Unfortunately, IBM or Microsoft probably have a business method patent on it.
*ducks to avoid flying chair*
Please note, that our continental nomenclature since before we had tectonic theory and they don't really agree.
There's at least 3 issues with thinking "plates" have anything to do with "continents":
* First of all there's at least 12 continents.
* Siberia is part of North America
* India isn't part of Asia.
...but everyone knows the USS Nokia is a burning platform.
Did you donate money for Prop 8 one way or the other? If so, when do you plan on announcing your resignation?
It's also worth point out that coal power plants generates MORE radioactive waste than nuclear plants by a factor of ~100.
It's just spread over a wide area, causes cancer, and no one collects or taxes it.
by 9.x maybe it'll even be as usable as 7 again
Are you kidding? Windows 9X introduced the start menu! Don't you remember The Rolling Stones promo commercial (Start me up)?
I'm more worried about what comes after 9X (probably Me, you know, to compete with all the iProducts).
[Yes I realized there was a dot between 9 and X. Which I took to be the Perl concatenation operator.]
Anyone who learns from one of these so-called "gurus" is merely emulating techniques other people with charisma mastery has "natively". Steve Jobs didn't take classes on how to be charismatic. He took acid -- and said it was one of the best experiences of his life...just like the Beatles, Manson (charisma and alignment aren't the same stat), etc.
So, if you're trying to be a better "people person", you can take the same thing Steve did in a "safe setting" -- whatever the means for you...or you can learn some techniques and be lost whenever a situation arrives you haven't learn about.
The whole thing is in assembly.
When it comes to assembly, what exactly is the difference between "source code" and the binary? Better comments and variable names?
"If our Western partners believe the format [of the G8] has exhausted itself, we don't cling to this format. We don't believe it will be a big problem if it [the G8] doesn't convene"

I think a shorter translation might simply be a middle finger.
What good is a ticket to the good life, if you can't find the entrance?
