Chronicles? They let that show continue? I was so hoping it had been canceled - you know, being terrible, not having a single good actor, and ruining the original story and all...
As far as Space Battleship Yamato, don't watch the SyFy version...it will undoubtedly be the awful dub version where they all sound like antsy American teenagers and the translation will be so far off it will no longer make sense.
If only you understood exactly what an abysmal portion of the proceeds actually make it to the developers...it's really not profitable unless you're one of the big mind-/face-less corporations. Even with the big guys, the money doesn't go to the programmers or the designers, it goes to executives and management.
The problem is not that they search people "crossing into this country"...but that they define anyone within 100miles of a legitimate border as "Suspect of entering the country". So despite the fact that I only even went to the beach twice in the two-plus years I lived in Florida, an officer could stop me anywhere on the peninsula under suspicion of "having just entered the country".
This is bullshit, and needs to be stopped. Why is it always the evil and supposedly anti-large-government Republicans that propose the most widespread and invasive policies?
I can't wait until one of their own gets stopped because of this with some blow and shut in a dark hole for years.
If you consumed raw, non-fissile uranium or plutonium, it would be passed through your system as solid waste before it could cause any real damage by irradiation. Even if a few particles stuck in your system, they are not radioactive enough in their natural state to be harmful to you. You would probably succumb to heavy metal poisoning before you experienced any radiation poisoning.
If it is instead a byproduct of fission, or a substance which is analogous to something your body readily absorbs, such as Iodine, or it is a highly radioactive fission byproduct, it will emit MUCH more radiation and is dangerous at any reasonably high concentration. Whether inside your body or not. Alpha emitting radioactive materials are not that dangerous outside your body, as the radioactive release can't penetrate much of anything - certainly not your skin.
What people often discount is that once an atom has emitted an alpha radiation particle or two, it is usually rendered into another radioactive element which will then emit a beta particle or two, followed by a gamma particle or two. It doesn't magically become non-radioactive. Gamma radiation is extremely good at penetrating objects, and is dangerous even outside the body at higher levels.
I found this rather smart gentleman's video (however, regarding the fictional propulsion system from the movie Avatar) disproving - scientifically - the possibility of interstellar travel in reasonable time frames.
I grew up in a small town, with lazy, racist, homophobic, skinhead police, who would stop and harass people for being "from out of town" (ie, because they were a minority). I saw them do some seriously awful shit to some people, including beating the crap out of a high school student for hitting a teacher who called him a 'nigger'. Nazi is the perfect word for these people.
Just because your distant relatives were involved with the German Nazi occupation nobody can use the term in any other way? Take your butthurt ass home and go fuck yourself sideways with a swastika.
I think requiring this will subject students (much as I was) that are completely disinterested with higher math to things they care nothing about, and will probably make their lives harder.
I took Algebra ! and Algebra II in high school, but I hated both of them. I wasn't using the math for anything at the moment, and I could see no point in it. When I went off to college to become a computer programmer, I had to spend a month teaching myself all of that crap I cared nothing about all over again, since I didn't care enough to retain it the first time.
I think the solution should be to let students choose their own course of study, course of inquiry if you will, of the world around them. Had I been able to choose to take programming classes first, I'm sure I would have known that I needed said math, and would have actually cared about the numbers I filled in - instead of just doing it because I HAVE to.
One of the primary good points of the internet is that it is not controlled, organized, or funded by any single nation or government.
The concept was originated from a US military project, but the actual web we know today is almost entirely from corporate additions and very little from government support.
It means pretty much exactly what I thought it means.
Despite this, one of the main points in your linked article was that "there is no concrete definition of First-World or Third-World since the end of the Cold War". Therefore, whatever people think it means is technically correct.
Calling them righties is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Aside from a few commentary quips by the ancient and automotively-pedantic Clarkson (he'd appreciate the ribbing, I'm sure) they are actually quite spot-on about most of their car reviews. Tesla can get their panties in a bunch all they want, but I'd still rather watch Top Gear than drive one of their shitty 'sports cars'.
Where else do you get to see Maserati vs Bugatti, McLaren vs Bugatti, Ferrari vs Lamborghini? Sure as shit not from some wannabe American electric car manufacturer.
I think we should all blame it on their tame test driver... Some say, he's got another four arms under his racing suit. Some say, he's fathered at least 3 clones of Chuck Norris. All we know is, he's called the Stig.
Top Gear is far from completely scientific or accurate, but most of the time they don't "stage" anything like the breakdowns. They stage challenges, but they ACTUALLY run the cars to see how they work.
It seems quite likely that Clarkson, May, and Hamilton were quite in-the-right in what they analyzed and said - about the particular model and vehicle they had.
Tesla needs to drop it, and realize that not everyone will like and trumpet the praises of your car just because you say they should.
This is a step in the wrong direction for the litigious bullshit nature of the US as a whole. GG Tesla, you fucking noobs.
Just don't move too fast or it will never see you.
The Kinect's update speed is ludicrously slow for a flying machine's collision avoidance system. A bird can potentially fly past the device between frames, and at high speeds there's no way it could keep up object avoidance.
Good luck, but you'll probably have to build your own.
Sure, that's all well and good if you can ignore their naziesque policies about data, coverage, overages, and their billing based on how much they can steal from you before you go to another company.
Hey, maybe they'll buy up Verizon next so nobody has any choice but to use AT&T! Forget that they've been the worst communications company for over a decade...let them run everything!
So how far do we let them go with price gouging and anticompetitive(read: outright theft) policies before the government steps in and says (again) "Oh no you don't, Mr. Monopoly! That there is the PEOPLE's company now!"
AT&T has been the worst communications company in the world for over a decade, and it seems now their only strategy is "Buy the competition so you don't have a choice".
1. Terrible update design. Someone needs to be fired.
2. Audio streams transmit (via normal CD) at 44.1kbps, with dual channel, for a total of about 88.2kbps. A healthy virus can take less than one kB to get started (about 1/5th of a second of audio)..

I keep my FlipHD in my computer bag anyway...
I figure I never know when I'll need a couple hours of HD footage.

Easier to write my own encryption software. To stop the government.

Wouldn't this inquiry be more effective with a question mark.

Does it really matter? Modern religion is a bunch of BS arranged to control the population in line with the morals of those who run it.

I love it. It's like a Vatican Fool's Day Mad Lib!
Didn't you hear from all the bible-thumping god-fearing right-wing Republican idiots? Birth control is a sin!

Exactly. It's the same protective primer they paint 747s and such with before they apply the outer-coat of paint and assemble all the pieces.
If you ever see a jetliner in the shop, it will probably be re-coated with this stuff anywhere that is sealed or infrequently maintained.

Sue Google. I can't wait to watch you and your bullshit case go down in flames faster than the fucking Hindenburg.
Verizon is sort of trying to do this. They are calling it 4G LTE which at least tells you which technology you're dealing with.
I forget which one Sprint uses or if it's 4G at all, same with T-Mobile.
