And you think the 1GB/sec quoted in the title is actual performance in all situations, not just raw read speed?

I'd like to know what area you live in where the precise boundary of a town can be sighted from so far off.

Around where I live, there are these things called hills and trees which often prevent me from sighting a collection of dwellings until I am essentially in it. A drastic change in speed limit with no warning placed in the right location will have me driving at what appears to be a safe speed for conditions and terrain, and suddenly have to heavily brake for the changed speed limit.

If they want to lower the speed limit in town, fine. Post the sign in a place which gives me sufficient warning to slow down smoothly.

One cannot grow to be her age without coming to know that there are scammers in the world, that a deal which is too good to be true almost certainly is, and that taking money which isn't yours is wrong. That she chose to ignore all of these in her reckless pursuit of Twenty! Million! Dollars! is sufficient to place blame on her head.

Should be obvious when you consider that there are events for for which nobody is to blame, but alas, rational thinking is not most people's strong point.

Why do you want to punish those people? They're free people, doing what they want to do, and it hurts nobody. Why not just let them continue?

The idea that the used games market should somehow be bypassed is something I can't even grasp. You don't get to control your product once you sell it. That's just a basic fact of life. If you really don't want people selling your game used, make it so good that they want to keep it. The used market also serves to support prices in the new market, so it's not as if game makers derive no benefit from it.

A good company will make money by building a great product that people want to buy. A mediocre company will think that they're building a great product, will see that they don't enjoy the same success as a great company, and will start searching for ways to punish their customers or their potential customers for not giving them more money. Obviously these tactics never work out in the long term, but it doesn't stop them.

Because the draft sure kept us out of Vietnam....

My God, how dare a member of the government use the government domain to inform people of his intended activities as part of the government?

As usual, the reasons are rooted in history.

The iTunes Music Store opened on April 28, 2003. Safari 1.0 shipped on June 23, 2003.

Furthermore, iTunes supported Mac OS X 10.1 for a long time afterwards, whereas Safari (and therefore WebKit) always required at least 10.2.

If they were doing it today you can bet that they would jump right for WebKit.

If race has its roots in genetics, why do different societies disagree on the definitions so much, and why was race a concept in people's heads long before anybody knew about genetics?

I honestly do not see the difference between "race is a fiction" and "almost no-one is of `pure' descent, and it's hard to even say what that means".

It's a social construct. It happens to be based partially on exterior features, which are in turn linked partially to ancestry and genetic markers. This means that the social construct of race can be correlated with certain real conditions (although sickle-cell anemia is a poor example as a map I posted elsewhere demonstrates) but that doesn't mean that race itself has any scientific basis.
