I wonder if a cinema owner should be forced to sell tickets to black men.

Oh wait, I don't wonder that at all, because I'm not a bigoted idiot.

Which reactor melt down has killed millions?

I mean, the parent post fails to take into account that when it goes wrong it renders a large area of land uninhabitable, but that's easily dealt with in modern reactor designs.

Right, smart people realise that the real way to get power is to pull the strings on the dumb people

Actually no, several studies have shown that money isn't the primary driver. Instead, once the cash level hits a certain point (basically, comfortable living), how much people enjoy the job dominates salary increases.

750GB is the amount they can fit one one chip package - i.e. what they could fit on a SD card. A typical gum stick SSD has several of these (usually around 5), hence the 3-4TB per gumstick estimate. A 2.5" drive will typically have more like 12-15 of them, hence the 10TB estimate.

You have a faulty SSD if you've got to 12% worn in 1 month. For a non-faulty 840 EVO 1TB that's a physical impossibility. 12% wear would imply that you've written more than 36TB to the drive already, which implies writing continuously at 833MB/s, which is higher than the drive's maximum write speed.

Causing an accident is far from the only negative outcome of speeding.

It also massively increases the severity of accidents (remember, a 40mph crash has 4 times more energy involved than a 30mph crash).

That would be, from the gigantic factory he's building along side Panasonic ;)

No, installing dual flush toilets won't help, it'll barely tickle the problem.

Around 80% of all water in california is used for farming. Of the 20% that goes to residences, only about 20% of that is used for flushing toilets. A dual flush toilet saves 50% of the water 50% of the time, so that's 0.0025% of the problem you could solve with dual flush toilets.

In the mean time, our farmers make huge profit off growing ridiculous crops like rice (yes really, they grow rice, a crop that requires flooding the field, in California), and almonds. By stopping subsidising crops that are just insane to grow in an arid area, California could solve it's "drout" issue overnight. We literally could halve the state's water usage utterly trivially.

Then you can turn up, and make a big scene about spoiling your ballot.

Anyone can read the HTML5, CSS and Javascript specs, and implement them. Only Microsoft can read the ActiveX spec and implement it.

Note, "Mandatory voting" typically means "Mandatory attendance".

In a mandatory voting society, it's entirely reasonable to spoil your ballot, or select RON.

What on earth is "an Uruguay syndrom", and why does google have no idea either.

No, in Europe liberalism tends to refer to social liberalism, not economic liberalism. Liberal policies tend to be centered around equality for every person, not around the american libertarian "just let the free market do it's thing". In general, their policies run completely orthogonally to being left/right wing.

You're right about the conservatives though.

To be fair, the deluxe edition adds a lot more than just 5 buildings, plus, you can import your own 3D models, and get those buildings for free if you want.
