since it obviously travels at the speed of LIGHT, the distance between the waves can be measured as a frequency because you know how often the wave tops are going to hit a non-moving object.
Btw, wouldn't it be funny if they put up a picture of an empty field and said "Impressive, huh?"
amen to that. I'd like to have seen the question come up in Congress while the execs were there of "Because of your decisions to make SUVs despite gas prices, your company would have failed even if the economy was perfect. Why should we bail you out?" That would have been quite entertaining.
As for my car, it's a 2000 Mercury Cougar V6 but somehow it gets 28 on the highway (they say that but it really gets 30-31 at 70 MPH) so I don't think it'd qualify. Sad that Ford could make an automatic V6 with that good of gas mileage 9 years ago and just decided to make worse cars.
Really? Here's a question for whatever 80 year old, possibly Amish, European dumbass thought that one up. If Windows doesn't come with a web browser, how do you get one? You just go download firefox...ohhhhh wait, you can't go download it because there's no browser. You don't see audio editors going out of business just because Sound Editor has been included with Windows for like 15 years. And I don't think Adobe is very worried about Photoshop getting trampled by MS Paint. There's a reason CNN doesn't just use Windows Movie Maker for their field editing too. This is just idiotic.
It's a macbook, it comes broken. One mouse button is missing! Hehehe. Anyway, my Pentium 3 laptop running windows ME boots in 13 seconds. It shuts down in 4.5 seconds. And everyone knows that's an unstable, service heavy, pile of crap. How is Linux not beating that when it's ME on a freaking pentium 3?! It's pathetic!
you know, I wonder who actually encodes and uploads them. Because if it's a republican, they'll add those on top of democrat speakers and say "this guy's a dick" and "what a bunch of crap" lol.
This will only treat misdiagnosed ADHD. Someone's brain just gets used to not giving anything full attention so it jumps around. Train it to work normally again and you're good to go but that's because it originally had the capability to run normally. But if your brain isn't capable of paying attention to things because of an actual deficit in ability to pay attention, then it's impossible to train with something so simple. You need the entire nervous system to run faster with powerful stimulants like Ridalin so that along with everything, the part of your brain that handles attention and focus accelerates to a point that it functions normally. When that happens, you can focus. In other words, this will fix a "software" problem but not a "hardware" problem in your brain. But most supposed ADHD is misdiagnosed anyway so I guess it'll help plenty of people.
wrong! The reason I can't sell my in game currency on ebay is because it's just data on the server and the game company still owns it. That's the legal reason why they can and did pull my auctions from ebay! So if I don't own the money, none of my "income" is MY income. They should make up their damn minds I think. You can't say you don't own it to sell it but you do own it to tax it. I don't care either way because if I can start selling gold again then hurray and who cares if they tax it cuz I'll still turn a profit and if they decide the other way, I can't sell my gold but they also can't tax it so I win that way too.
I'm pretty sure I've seen a video of an IR laser lighting a piece of paper on fire. What's the point of wireless connections like that if you can't walk through them without bursting into flames? You might as well just use a cable. As for what they say about wirelessly charging batteries, well I'd rather see batteries that can flash charge in like 15 seconds. That'd be sweet even if it's wired, which of course it would be. It'd probably take longer to charge the capacitor than the battery too but hey, it'd be awesome! It's not that hard to get 1AH or less of energy from a wall outlet either using some relatively cheap equipment.
who's "we"? Any vista people out there probably just steamrolled their system drive's OS and put the beta on there because really, it can't possibly be worse. If you had Vista, wouldn't you replace it with ANYTHING as soon as possible?
or since you figured that out, maybe they were anticipating it and the RIAA and MPAA are behind it because they want people to think that file sharing sights put it up there to frame them. Anyway, back in reality, I don't think they'd block their own websites from people just to prove a point. As for Madonna, she should have just said "you're an ass" then played a 1000 Hz tone at full blast. That's arguably the loudest sounding tone to humans in general and also quite annoying. Btw they didn't mention if the voice was a real person or a synthesized one. If it was real, you just listen for them to stop in the middle of the statement and take a bite of a hot pocket and you know it was the file sharers all along! If you hear a faint "okay, cut" then it was the RIAA in a recording studio:P
not a lot of homework requires a ton of bandwidth. Just loading a few webpages for research doesn't do much. 1 person watching youtube videos could probably outdo 25 people surfing around for school.
Remember that the reason dark matter supposedly exist is because scientists calculated the weight of the visible matter in the entire universe and said "well that doesn't match up with the energy/gravity" so they make up some imaginary object to make up the difference. And then a couple years later OMG I guess we were 50% off of the mass of the milky way, oops. If they can't even measure our galaxy properly, then dark matter probably doesn't exist because they're just calculating it wrong. Either that or it's literally regular matter that has almost no light bouncing off it cuz it's too far away from a light source.
I think it was just their new year's resolution to dump em. If I worked at the RIAA *stops to go throw up just thinking about it* that would certainly be on my list!
If you take one look at the national budget and debt you can't help but think who the hell cares who gets to Mars first or back to the moon. So it's like what space race? Let China waste all their money on it. But of course China and all their satellite-frying lasers and stuff means we have to compete but only in a military capacity so they don't build a superior space weapon network. I mean they can build it but ours has to be better:-P So yeah, if you're gonna spend money on space stuff, you might as well do something constructive instead of living on the moon just to see if we can. Now I know ppl are gonna complain and say "but they'll do important physics experiments there." Okay, like 50 billion for some experiments? Donate 1/100 of that to the LHC instead and build some spaceships with laser guns!
craigslist?! For IT work? Oh come on. Why not go to a specialised classifieds type of place that's actually professional and only for computer work. Rentacoder.com is where you want to go. I just decided to try it and it's pretty sweet. It's like reverse ebay for IT people. You bid as a contractor on projects that people post and then they pick the lowest bidder that looks decent (or the highest, it's totally up to them) and then you do the work and they pay you and tada. They even have a decent payment escrow and arbitration system so if something goes wrong, it gets resolved. And they have a TON of listing! It's like 2000 at any given time. Anything from programming in any language to graphics to audio and video can be posted there. The only downside is, I was very lucky to get the first contract I bid on because there were 37 other bidders. It's tough to beat out that many people and that's the usual amount of bids on any project. So if you want to do work for a respectable site where you'll actually get paid and there's a ton of available work, check it out.
This one surprised me. The entire ehow earnings system for its writers crashed and they still haven't fixed it. Apparently it wasn't rollover friendly. I don't remember but they've only started the system about 16-10 months ago so it's possible it has never seen a year rollover yet. Still, they're like the 39th most visited website in the US believe it or not so it's kinda odd that their entire writer's earnings system would fail.
I had to look far and wide to find one that was even viewable at 120 degrees and even then the radiation charts showed a 2:1 or worse ratio of light brightness around the 30 degree cone in the middle. But if they would just put some effort into it, they could make a minaiture reflector that's remotely as good as a telescope mirror that reflects light extremely evenly over a wide angle.
but don't you already love your kids' cell phone per-action charges so much already? I mean everyone knows overage charges and paid roaming minutes are like the new thing with parents. Sometimes you just down know what toilet to flush your money down but if you see a big toilet labeled "microsoft stuff that used to be free and unlimited" well of course you'd head straight for that one!
you know mentioning support lines gave me an idea. I don't think people would necessarily call their ISP's line owner to complain about a website not loading but how many calls do you think they'd get if people start snipping their infrastructure. All I've got to say is if a squirrel's teeth and then later some idiot with a chainsaw can take down the Appleton-Green Bay, Wisconsin fiber ring then a dozen people who passionately disagree with their practices can put 100 cuts in their network. It's got to come out of the ground somewhere and boy are those cuts hard to track down when there's just 1 of them. If every weekend your network gets cut in random places by pissed off customers and your uptime sinks from 99.99% to like 50% then guess how many support calls you're gonna get! I bet it'd be easy to convince them to stop hijacking internet services then if they get some anonymous letters saying taht's why their network is being destroyed.
I just picked up an 8600GTS OC from BFG and I run 2 monitors and can render basically any game I care about at full blast. Oblivion I have to tone down slightly but other than that, UT2004, Halo, and Fable all fine. That's why nobody's buying quad SLI setups and dual quad processors and 8 GB of memory. Why spend an extra $500 on hardware that will give you +20% in speed when you could just turn antialiasing down to 2x and turn on bloom lighting instead of HDR and turn the view distance down ot 80%?
I've got it! Make it like America's Army Ops meets GTA. It's a first person shooter MMORPG that takes place in a virtual version of the town. Then you can find your n00b mailman and show him what you think of him forgetting to put the flag down on your mailbox. Did you just get overcharged at Walmart? Go home, log in, pick up a rocket launcher, and blow that place the hell up! It'd be a great stress reliever and creative way to let others in the town know you have complaints about them. I bet if people could speed through town at 120MPH in a hijacked corvette in the game, when it gets to reality it'd be all out of their system and they'd even drive under the speed limit. It's genius i tell you!
you're missing the much for obvious reason with the same end. They're macbooks and almost nobody uses just macs at home. They're used to PCs so nobody's going to give up all theri learned XP knowledge not to mention right click button for some overpriced macbook. Why not save $400-800 and get an equivilant windows PC? Don't you read Apple's marketing department mission statement: "we only sell to showey douchebags who will pay more for a brand name even if it's a glitchy, underperforming piece of junk" It's right on their wall on a big poster. Microsoft's is a much more vague "never forget, we own the customers." Speaking of that, how about a Linux netbook?
amen to that. It took me about 30 seconds to come up with this... so you're adventuring around la la la la la la and then you reach the gate to a cemetary and instead of having you pull triggers on gravestones in a certain order to open the next gate, a first person view window appears, you've got a gun, and there's zombies coming at you so it's time for some "BOOM HEADSHOT" action. Then later in the game, you expect a puzzle and instead get to control 50 units in 5 unqiue groups with unique abilities and you go RTS on their asses. Now that's fun and unexpected. Why do adventure games always have to have puzzles?

it's actually a clue. You have to decrypt the rest of the summary using the first letters of every prime numbered word.
