No, we night folk like our dark for cavorting around and causing mayhem. Next you're going to see ninjas walking around in broad daylight because they are out of a job!!
And if we developers didn't need to program these damn changes at all, then there would be MUCH less time spent on it (zero, actually...unless you count rolling back).
Works pretty well for the Autobahn. The Germans (well, those who live in Bavaria, at least) always bitch about Austria because Austrian cops have radar guns.
That was very kind of him...I didn't know that was the case. I'd think the Canadian government is civilized enough to welcome those whose charges are explicitly civil disobedience, even if they were still on the record. But maybe they're totally anal about it. I won't have a problem getting in (until Bush declares martial law in 2008).
I'm not a Rand fan, but that hit the nail (or tack, hehe) on the head.
Anyone who's read 1984 will understand, recalling the conversations about the Inner and Outer party between Winston and O'Brien at the Ministry of "Love".
If you RTFA, it says: "Much of the fuel the system combusts is carbon-neutral...Carbon-neutral fuels like ethanol do not cause an appreciable net increase in atmospheric levels of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide."
And what the other guys said about "benign" waste designation by the EPA. It sounds like it's pretty clean for a being a fancy trash burning machine. If you've got enough trash, I can see it generating more than 90% of the diesel fuel input. That's almost certainly just what they did for "lab trials"...you get one of those things cooking (no pun intended) in a military camp, it's gonna be running for a lot longer on that first jumpstart of diesel. Who's to say they can't bring the extra biofuel with them when they move camp, either?
I'm guessing economies of scale for government contracting will make it cheaper too...especially if the market at home decides they're handy (pop one out back of Rock 'n Roll McDonalds...no more power bill, just use all that grease!!)
Hydraulic squeezers can't achieve 1/30 compression. Or, imagine if they could compact that 1/30th instead of 1/1?
Then I'll patent a phone with the keys oriented to the side...oh wait...damn.
I guess I'll have to patent a sandwich with two patties of meat encasing a piece of bread, mustard, onions, and pickles. And whatever else you normally put on a burger.
It wasn't very entertaining or insightful either. They should have just dropped it because "it sucked". Besides the author's grossly inadequate music selection...Rammstein is not KMFDM.
Am I a bad person for having played it? I don't think so...the premise was interesting, the execution (no pun intended) was a colossal failure.
One could just search for things on Google, Amazon, B&N, etc...I'd rather not be spammed with such rubbish. I find it as annoying as the concept of upselling at fast food joints (and other stores, less so).
I don't think Virgin's support of a pledge drive is so much advertising, but even as "non-invasive" as it is, I find Google Ads to be quite an eyesore. I don't go to Wikipedia looking to buy something, I go there for knowledge (regardless of how reliable one considers it to be). If they need more money, such a fund drive is a good idea. I mean, look how fast it's been going up...you don't need Virgin's name on there to achieve that effect. I honestly should contribute given how often I visit the site.
Sentry guns + surveillance cameras, with enough electricity to power both...besides the initial overhead, shouldn't cost you more than 20 bucks a month, I'd think.
It makes me wonder if he was really that centrist after all. Speaking of "slippery slope", my willingness to vote for him in '08, should he run, is on one too. Kissinger/Schwarzenegger '08?
And really, with the whole Web 2.0 thing, you kinda have to give him credit for pushing imperial regulation of this so quickly for something that really became popular not THAT long ago...it shows he's not completely out of touch with reality, just succumbing to the neo-con police state vision...or more aptly, police planet.
Super Nintendo was released August 13, 1991, and the Super Nintendo controller has buttons on the front migrating towards the bottom. I know it's not precisely in tune with the patent, thus eliminating it as a fair direct precedent, but like in physiology, things tend to droop with time...it seems a logical and obvious assumption that buttons would end up on the bottom of game controllers eventually.
Look at the generational evolution of ergonomic design between Colecovision, NES, Genesis/Super-NES, Playstation (released September 9 of '95 in the USA...four days after the gold diggers' patent was applied for, indicating design by Sony would have obviously happened prior for their front-side trigger(s)) and even N64 (even though it's after the '95 patent application date)
I bet someone even hacked a Colecovision or Atari controller back in the day to get a triggerlike interface...hell, if you hold a Coleco controller sideways...
No taxation without representation...isn't that sort of a caveat for inventing new taxes? And since many people using US systems are from outside the country (or can spoof it), it seems like this should get smacked down if SCOTUS knows its head from it's posterior.

21 years, actually.
Sealand!

This would be use of what my grandfather would call "finesse".
If you can listen to it, you can rip it...maybe they have smelled the coffee, but have yet to fully awaken.
Sounds like Bush's exit strategy. "Bad Maliki! Bad! Bad! No more help for you!!" America declares victory (again).
Well, the 2070 version will have a neurojack on it...although yeah, at the rate things are going, we might see something like that even sooner too.
Shadowrun comes to mind...

Maybe it'll actually have to rely on plot like the old ones.

Indeed....come on John, you should know better.

Then again, I hate US IP law.
