and the "folder" work around is a kludge doesn't cut it for me.
Labels. It's not a work-around, it's a deliberate design decision, and a good one. You can emulate folders with labels - simply don't attach more than one label to a given email.
As others have noted: citation needed. I can only find other comments making the same claim, no articles.
Also, the ship that shot down 655 was a guided missile cruiser, not a carrier. While there's no requirement that a movie be historically accurate, a cruiser mock-up would be much, much cheaper.
They shouldn't be in traffic in the first place, for starters.
True, but then again, automobiles shouldn't be driving into crosswalks when I've got the light, but that happened to me today - in fact, during the time since I wrote that last comment.
Today's incident wasn't a big deal, because I was watching the driver, and I could see she was looking only at oncoming traffic from her left, while I was on her right, trying to cross in front of her turn. So I waited, and resisted the temptation to slap the side of her car.
But that's also a scenario where the Elio would have been a bit more of a danger. If I'm watching the driver, that protruding wheel is only in my peripheral vision. That's different from a regular car, where the edge of the car is between us and easier to identify.
So it's a risk - the hard part is quantifying how big of a risk it presents.
Well, it's narrower - that'll help in many urban areas, and will make finding parking a bit easier. A two-wheel car is also a little less likely to take out pedestrians with one of those protruding front wheels.
But those advantages might be outweighed by other disadvantages - as you've noted, cost and complexity are concerns, and the actual performance of the balancing algorithms and such is still an unknown.
256-bit block ciphers are merely difficult to attack.
That is incorrect. It is impossible to brute-force a cipher like that, and it is extremely unlikely that someone has found a cryptanalytic break for modern ciphers like AES.
Unlike a block cipher, you can prove that a one-time pad is unbreakable, but that proof depends on the assumption that the random bits of the pad are completely unpredictable. Turns out that's a non-trivial problem to solve, and an especially difficult one to test.
Automobile insurance issuers are chartered and regulated at the state level. There have been a number of discussions of a federal-level charter, but I'm not aware of any changes on that front in years.
... in the vast majority of cases
Bullshit. State laws on the subject vary massively; there's no way to make a blanket statement like that unless you're in confirmation-bias mode.
The article only notes that teenagers are driving much less. Total miles driven has only declined very slightly in the last few years (starting with the recession), and was steadily climbing for decades prior to that.

Basically, our definitions of traffic density have changed.
"Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded." - Yogi Berra.
OK, that doesn't quite fit this situation, but you are only putting one variable into your equation - more roads. There's also:
Another factor - most driving is no longer 'fun' - It's fighting traffic. it's a job.
The only place you don't see traffic these days is car commercials.
I haven't seen anything that lists any Apple funding, although some articles mention Rackspace.
The primary political tension I was referring to was the continual battle between the county government and the city government here. The city has a very large (and pretty good) library system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Antonio_Public_Library); they could have taken on this site as well. But it was probably easier to go bookless by not being part of the SAPL system (and Nelson Wolff, a county guy, couldn't get any credit if SA did it).
Turns out, this library is well within the city - it just happens to be funded by the county government (which isn't unheard of, although it was probably done for political reasons here).
I would argue that wi-fi and e-readers are not a complete replacement for a physical library location. Among other things, the building has useful services like desktop computers, meeting spaces, computer classes, and a place to pick up and learn about those e-readers.
The $2.3 million spent on this library could have
bought e-readers for a large percentage of the populace, easily one per household, and put free wifi on every major street corner.
Doubt it. Bexar County has 1.7 million people: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bexar_County,_Texas
Why do you think the Israeli method is cheaper? They spend about 10 times as much per passenger as we do:
