the Pruit Igoe music has been repurposed for a number of other films. You will hear it a lot in the Watchmen adaptation. Also visually, this film basically invented the city-as-a-circuit-board visual metaphor.

I'm probably crazy, but I've been staring at the two images for five minutes and can't see anything in one that isn't in the other, unless it is obscured by the annoying "view related gallery"button. EDIT: Ok,

This may work for some customers but on the flip side this is what I encounter: - I am given a fixed budget to implement something. (I work for the government so I spend millions of dollars a year, but budgeting is done once a year so I go

I don't know. As a SaaS buyer (occasionally) I have to take strong disagreement with some of the points. For instance the first two sites links--first bad, second good. Both show pricing structure, the "bad" one shows a fe

Drupal is a CMS, but a highly extensible one. Yes, you can replace any just about any core feature. I needed a register for a new account feature that integrated with other parts of our site, so I rolled my own. I'm not super familia

Compared to other CMSs. Sure you can custom code with a crud like rails or similar, but that isn't particularly useful for some types of sites that Drupal is well suited for. We have about 1000 static pages that have to be edited pas

Of course it can drop below that mark, but that is usually a negotiation between a vendor and the payment processor. If you are small and unlikely to drive much business, you will have a hard time getting a lower number. Where I work, we

I'm not sure the timelines, but is the implication that Mr. Ulbricht is the original DPR (i.e. the libertarian evangelist) and not the one paying for assassinations? If so, then he can probably assist the FBI in finding the "thug

Yes if you stay with ATT/Verizon/Sprint. If you instead choose a MVNO like StraightTalk or Virgin Mobile, you'll pay less. I pay $45/mo on StraightTalk, and when I buy a new phone in the next year or so, I'll jump

You might look at what RPM you are shifting from 1->2. As the other poster said, 1->2 stalls are uncommon because the vehicle is in motion and the power from the forward inertia coming up the drive train into the engine is frequently

The problem isn't the efficiency of the engine, but the efficiency of storing energy. Gasoline and diesel are very good at that, and are easily replenished. If your concern is the complexity of all the moving parts, rotary engines an
