Don't mind me, but doesn't the rules you posted have an OR in between "each page" and "first page"?
If your first page is your e-mail headers, then that's easy.
What we really need to do is just revise the fax laws to include internet faxes. (Does anybody else remember the fax service on AOL or wherever that you could sent faxes by e-mailing phonenumber@sendafax.com (orwhaterver the address was) and they would charge you for it and boom, e-mail to fax!
If we could get the fax laws adjusted to say "phone numbers for fax machines" and IP addresses and e-mail addresses for computers we would be all set!
Yes, but knowing that an ant body is a bad design for space tunneling would be useful for robot engineers and they would make a different body instead.
It looks like it is a good design because you have 6 points of anchorage and the mandibles to dig with. In a gravitational situation like this, one would expect the extra stability and manueverability would help. (The students probably didn't compare stabilty like that and just extrapolated our two legged problem.)
If it makes you feel any better, I don't watch much news of any kind. I tend to read stuff online though. I probably should watch the news on the BBC-US channel that my cable company has.
(BTW, I am aware he's using the international date format up there.)
All my personal documents and the like fit nicely on one CD for me at home. I go through about 12 CDs when I back up my MP3s though. This is about an annual or semi-annual ritual I do. Mostly to back up my e-mail.
Hmm, I should go get a card with that bank that lets you have these one time credit card numbers with set limits based off your real one. Then I could get like a $5 CC # from them, sign up for AOL for 1000 Hrs, and get another card number. ooh.
I think you missed the point that you will be cooked by the wireless communication instead of skinning your elbows when you trip over the power/network cord.
My question is, does this mean we will stop talking? (Well, assuming we don't cook ourselves first. That would definitely prevent talking.)

oops. It depends on if you hit the file or not for the New thing. I really should have said the "Send To" list. ICQ also adds in a "Send to ICQ" list that can be fun too.
I see lots of people trying to run programs but end up with the rename thing because they clicked too slowly on the name. If you click as quickly on the icon, it will usually run.

If you single click twice slowly, it lets you rename too. I prefer this over waiting for the right click menu to find all the NEW|> options and render.
Ah, but now you're getting into using the multiplication process, and not wrote memorization. And if he knows the process, then why does he need to memorize the multiplication charts? It is all moot anyway, the savior known as the calculator takes care of the problems faster.

Should have previewed and thought about what I was saying a bit longer. They don't teach factoring for a while after the tables. Given that limitation, I'd just write "6" six times and start adding. 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6. Now, does anybody see anything in there that can be done to make that simpler, like adding the first 3 sixes and then adding that total to itself?
I hate times tables. My know how to do things like multiply, and look stuff up. Sure 6*6 = 36, but can't I just work it out in my little itty bitty head that it's really (((2*3) * 3) * 2) because I can work out that 3+3 is 6 and that 6 * 3 is really 6 + 2 * 6 which is 12+6 which is 18 and then I can add 18 to 18 and get 36! But don't confuse that with 36! which is a really big number. I do lots of adding to multiply.
Anyway, I hate memorization because it doesn't lead to analysis. Stating facts without the how is useless. Besides, what do those poor smucks who learned the multiplication tables up to 12 do when they get 13 * 3?
Teach them a process that scales up and let them figure out that you have to memorize commonly paired numbers because they use them a lot.
From what I've been able to gather The various "How does it work" links lead me to http://www.icehouse.net/john1/john.html which described it as using the energy found in vacuums. I guess it's no more wrong than the Casimir Effect, except at an ionic level.
So, I think it may be possible, and it isn't a perpetual motion machine in the traditional sense that all the energy is self contained. It a regular machine that taps into a sweet energy source of vacuum.
If we were to develop a ship that accelerated at 9.8 m*m for the first half of a trip, and then slowed at the same rate for the second half of a trip, would that be sufficient for artificial gravity?
This reminds me of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy's radio series (Maybe the books too). Zarniwoop, the president of the HHG publishing company, was in his office on an inter-galactic cruise. He was inside a private copy of the Universe. The reason was something about not missing the great parties on Ursa minor or somesuch.

I would be willing to argue that:
a valid e-mail address is to e-mail
as
a valid phone number is to fax.

The good news for you then is that this is federal law. This means that you can get anybody in these 50 states from you state.
If you or they are outside of the US, check to see what kinds of treaties there are. You might still get lucky.

Are you sure that isn't the back plane to H. G. Well's time machine? The edges look pretty in that picture somehow.

I take it you intend to stop the fast and hard way? (BAM!)
Shouldn't you calculate how long it would take you to get half way and then double it if you intend to stop the same way you sped up?
