In-Dash DIN-form-factor Car PC
kraksmokr writes "Xenarc Technologies have introduced a cool new in-dash DIN-form-factor Car PC. It features built in hard drive, audio/video, and GPS, among other things. Estimated price will be about $1200. I can't even begin to list the possibilities for mobile computing bliss." I'm even more impressed that they can fit it into the dash than I am with in-dash CD changers. If you buy this thing, use it safely. None of us want auto PC users to end up in the same category as annoying cell phone users.
I'm in favor of natural selection. If you can't live in your current condition without prolonged medical aid, you can go on and die. This includes: people in comas, people who are too fat to move (remember that Jerry Springer?), and Keith Richards.
I'm in favor of people's right to throw away their lives however they want to. If people want to do heroin or race their cars down deserted mountain roads without seatbelts, let 'em. The government has no right to tell people how they can and cannot die.
I'm in favor of legalizing drugs. See above.
I'm in favor of corrupting the youth. Might as well go on and get it over with. Has to happen sometime.
I'm in favor of sex and violence on TV. I like to watch people get beat up. I like to watch scantily clad women cover each other in canola oil. Sue me.
I'm in favor of eating whatever you want in whatever amount you want whenever you want. Every time someone tells me "Oh, that's not good for you!" or "Murderer! You killed that [insert animal here]," I feel like screaming, "I'm the top of the food chain, baby! I'll eat what I want!"
I'm in favor of the brutal beating of Joel Schumaker, but that's another story.
I'm in favor of the death penalty. I think it should be televised. You could make serious money by putting that on pay-per-view. That money could go towards paying back for the untold thousands of dollars that was wasted by keeping that waste of skin in a nice prison cell for a dozen years or more.
I'm completely in favor of making a mockery of things that most people hold dear. I try to make a mockery of at least one highly revered thing each day. Nothing is sacred. Nothing. I reserve the right to make fun of anything or anyone for any reason, just as I will respect other people's right to make fun of me for whatever reason they choose.
I'm in favor of any group that pushes at the bounds of reasonable society. I may not personally approve of their beliefs or their methods, but these groups keep society from becoming stagnant. Stagnation of a civilization is a deadly thing, and it should be avoided at all costs.
I'm in favor of change.
I'm in favor of people who think for themselves. I'm in favor of doubt and questioning. Never take anything for granted. Never accept what you are told. Doubt, think, question everything. This is the only way that you can ever truly call yourself free. If you take things as they are given to you at the word of others, then you are enslaving yourself to the thoughts of others.
I'm in favor of sex. Well, I would be if I could get any...
I'm in favor of opposing the man.
I'm opposed to oppression of any form.
I'm opposed to stupidity. If you're stupid, learn something! Anything! Honestly people...
I'm opposed to the senseless beating of Joel Schumaker by a band of masked hooligans. I should be allowed to do it.
I'm opposed to me having children. I don't like children. I really, really don't.
stick it in my hole
i want it in my ass
your fishing pole
with lots of hooks and bait
and fishing weight
my asspussy is full of trout
please fish them out

Where the rubber meets the road, it's the hard drive that's the real workhorse--the most critical component of your PC after the CPU and memory. It's where the computer stores your operating system, programs, and data. If you edit movies, play games, or listen to music files on your PC, a bigger, faster, and more reliable hard drive will dramatically improve your overall computing experience. And you can probably buy twice as large a hard drive today as you could last year for the same amount of money.

It's well past time to say it. Despite the weaseling and finger-pointing -- in fact, because of it -- the forged Niger letter is indeed the smoking gun, and the chips have yet to stop falling. Who wrote the damn thing, and on whose orders? Who cares whether Tenet, his job on the line, acquiesced to including a literal truth that actually amounts to one of the great frauds of the century? The sheer audacity and cynicism of this coterie of hacks and hustlers is simply astounding. As a teacher, I won't let six-year-olds get away with such transparent sophistry. The bottom line is that Bush knew the information was bogus, and used it anyway to convince millions to go along with his phony war.
For that alone, for the memory of the thousands of dead Iraqis and Americans, he deserves the il Duce treatment (figuratively speaking, Mr. Ashcroft -- no need to start tapping my phone or putting me on no-fly lists). The criminal enterprise called the Bush administration is (Helen Thomas was right) the worst ever. Their campaign in furtherance of the conspiracy to defraud the public into buying the Iraq war is one of the the most cynical abuses of power in U.S. history. It deserves to be treated as such.
Alarmist? You bet. This guy already thinks (and occasionally tells foreign leaders) that he gets his orders from God. If these radical extremists can get away with this, then the dumbing down of America will be complete, and the stage will be set for the next wave of the nascent fascism. La Cosa Bush (apologies to the mafia) is, like all crime families, violent, arrogant, and beyond the reach of the law -- so far. Bush's handlers no longer even have the decency, courage or self-restraint to prevent his criminally stupid comments from wreaking havoc around the globe. Was last week's pseudo-macho invitation to "Bring 'em on" even a mistake? Or was it another calculated ploy to make him look "tough" to the American people, playing to the ugliest side of the American psyche while once again enraging thinking people the world over. No matter -- he must be stopped. This cabal has been lying, cheating, and manipulating national tragedy to force their right-wing agenda down our throats long enough.
And half-measures won't do any more. None of this vague safe rhetoric about "misleading" or cautious calls for those who "know who they are" to step down. WE know who they are, the junta that has hijacked our government and our national agenda. The cartel must go: Bush, Cheney, Powell, Rice, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perle should all resign, be fired or impeached immediately, before their conspiracy of lies and their mutual pact of self-protection is allowed to further endanger the country and the world. Cornered criminals, especially stupid ones, are a dangerous lot, and there is no telling to what lengths they will go to cover their own behinds.
On a mission from God, installed by a viciously partisan Supreme Court, the skids are greased for a further slide into misadventure, bankruptcy and ruin. With the addition of Congress on their side, they are acting with particularly reckless abandon -- and impeachment is not in the cards as long as the GOP circles the wagons. None will have the courage or integrity Goldwater showed when he told Nixon the jig was up. Power corrupts, and the Republicans are so drunk with it they won't turn on their Lord Fauntleroy until he robs a bank on camera in broad daylight.
But that is no reason not to tell the truth: whatever their chances, some of the braver souls in congress should introduce impeachment legislation immediately: Conyers, Kucinich, Lee, Paul? The media has already shown they will not help; moneyed interests overwhelmingly favor the right. A campaign based on the old game of raising oodles of money and buying ads is a sure failure. The only thing that can save us now is a grassroots, velvet revolution, the principled, impassioned movement calling for these people's head on a spike.
If you're going faster than they are, you'd have to through the rock pretty fast. Probably at least as fast as the difference in your speeds.
momentum and all that.
The item would be travelling backwards, towards an object in motion forwards.
You throw an object at 5-10 MPH, it travels backwards towards an object travelling 30-40 MPH in the opposite direction. Even with the air drag your still gonna get it there without a problem.
You're neglecting the fact that you are throwing it from a moving position (your cycle is not stationary). Just to say up front I'm not trying to pick on you or anything. It might even be that we aren't talking about the same thing here.... so let's start with some descriptions.
You are traveling on your cycle at 50 mph. You toss a rock over your shoulder in the oppossite direction (behind you) at 5 mph. From the point of view of someone at a bus stop that you pass, the rock is moving in teh same direction you are, at 45 mph.
Now let's say you are traveling at 50 mph, and you pass some idiot talking on their phone. They are traveling in the same direction as you, at 40 mph (as we said, you're passing them). You toss a rock over your shoulder, at 5 mph. The rock, moving in the same direction as you at 45mph will never hit the car that you passed.
That was why I said you would have to throw it pretty fast, at least as fast as the difference in speed between your vehicle and the other. I'm ignoring drag, which would work to your advantage.
