Anyone who doesn't support gun control shares responsibility for this tragedy. Libertarians, Republicans- you have blood on your hands today, every single one of you. OMG, really? I feel so ashamed! What a tragedy, Einstein was right. And its all my fault! I only wish I had a gun, so I could shoot myself. dumbass
so you either need more roof or you need yard space that you don't want to use in another way Most people, especially in sunny climates, would like to have more shade in their yard, so making patio awnings out solar panels would be great, as long as they're cheap and durable enough.
It's basically a hobby and, as this hobbyist has shown, best left to the hobbyists. I hear that. I've been into RC for a long time, and although I never had one, I remember electric RC planes that were hand launched from 20 yrs ago. Whenever I see those recent Army commercials where the guy throws the recon plane into the air and acts like it's some high-tech shait, I just have to laugh. Bet the Army pays at least $10,000 for each of those, which you and me could build for $300.
Luckily enough for those of us ten or more years away from a prostate exam, I read that they're working on a blood test for prostate cancer that should be ready within ten years. And no, the doc shouldn't have both his hands on your shoulders during a prostate exam.
First, the dictionaries suck. American Heritage also gives cement=Portland cement, or even concrete before cement=glue or binder. This is wrong. The use of the word cement to mean Portland cement -used to make concrete- or worse yet concrete itself, is essentially slang. Its like calling network cable "copper," or fiber-optic cable "fiber." Why they give that definition before "A substance that hardens to act as an adhesive; glue," and "Something that serves to bind or unite," I don't understand. For the best explanation, please see Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement
Please people, stop telling people you have a "cement" sidewalk and an "asphalt" driveway (or worse yet, tar). You have a "concrete" sidewalk, and a "blacktop" driveway (or "asphalt cement" if you want to get really technical).
Now, after rereading the article, I see that they say "lime-alumina" cement, which sounds like Portland cement to me, but then they say aluminum is used as a substitute for indium, which, AFAIK, is not used in Portland cement. So, I don't know WTF to think they mean.
One thing I never understood about that movie. Why did they need a transparent material at all? They weren't trying to turn the ship into an aquarium. All they needed, was to build a tank to hold the water and whales for a couple of hours (at the most) for transport. I think the crew on any modern day naval vessel could do that by simply tearing down a few bulkheads and using a simple welder. Probably be a good idea to build an improvised heater or cooler with a thermostat, too. Whales don't need to be in water anyway (they breath air), all you need is a couple guys with hoses to keep them wet. That's how whales and dolphins are transported today.
Otherwise it's not likely we'd have a prayer against aggressive aliens. As Sagan and many others would point out, a space-faring civilization is going to be much older and more technologically advanced than us. Why do you think we're trying to so hard to find alien life. If aliens find us, they are probably way more advanced; But if we find THEM first, it likely means WE are more advanced than them. Then all we have to do is spread rumors that they insulted Jesus, Mohamed, Buddha, Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Elvis, called all our mamas "nappy headed hos," and that they "Hate Freedom." We will have all humanity united behind our efforts to introduce "Democracy" to the new planet with interstellar ballistic missiles.
I'm no expert, but the way I read it, it explains many anomalies. The theory explains many of the voids and passages inside the pyramid that seemed to have no practical purpose.
You know, expecting real news on a news site doesn't make you stupid.
What makes you stupid is posting lies on your news site just because it's "April's Fool's day" or something of that sort. No shiat. It's one thing when The Washington Post or CNN tell lies, but when I can't trust something I read on the internet, there's no hope left for society. Next you'll tell me that Barac Obama isn't a member of an Islamic terrorist organization.
Wait a minute. A chief of the executive branch enforcing the laws that the legislature has passed, instead of spending all his time trying to get them to pass the laws he wants? That sounds pretty crazy to me.
I'll tell you, uhhhhhhhhh
Why they didn't, uhhhhhhhhhh, accept your, uhhhhhhhhh, story.
It's because uhhhhhhhhh, nobody wants to , uhhhhhhhhhhhh, listen to a bunch of politicians go "uhhhhhhhh" for half an hour.
If there was a story written about it, I'd like to read it.
Blah, blah, blah! Grandstand, "Grand Theft Auto," grandstand! Claim of Outrage! [insert politician not disagreeing here] [insert politician not disagreeing here]. ----Instant News! There, fixed that fer ya. BTW, the politicians probably feel -and I would agree- that the game will be good for the city by generating tourism.
In February 1992, I was a high school junior. I took "American History" that year and "Civics/Economics" the next year (the year the treaty went into effect). I know it doesn't have much to do with American history, but you'd think they would have mentioned it in economics. Also, I watched the TV news to some extent back then, and don't remember hearing about it there either.
\overall, I would grade my public education a D+
\\and I took "advanced" classes
I think the point being made is that by taking Cuban sugar off the American market we have driven up the price Americans pay for sugar. Last I checked, the price of sugar is not a problem in the US. Sugar is so cheap, that one third of us are overweight, and another third are obese. Just go into any store and you'll see that the cheapest foods are the ones that contain lots of sugar.
Actually, I (American) never learned about the EU in high school or college history/geography at all. I never even heard of it until several years later. Also, most Americans could guess the capital of Utah because it is the only city in Utah they ever heard of (Salt Lake City), but I bet most couldn't tell you the capital of Washington. In fact, I bet most recent high school graduates in California couldn't tell you what the capital of California is.
I know, typical comment about how uneducated we Americans are, followed by typical comment about how, no matter how dumb we are, Californians are even dumber than the rest of us.
If your ISP is not offering good access to all the sites you want, then get a better one! It's not like the congress can solve routing problems I've lived in a small town, a medium sized city, and now in one of the largest, fastest growing cities in the country. I have never had more than one choice of cable internet provider and one choice of DSL. And cable is always better deal than DSL, though that isn't saying much. Hey, that reminds me of something else where no matter where in the country you live, you only have two choices, comes up every November.
Well, I agree to certain, very limited, throttling of protocol (or more accurately, throttling by level of service). For example, any emergency or vital service should be given priority. During a crisis, all emergency services should be given priority, but should not be charged extra for this. If there is a crisis, I will not complain if I can't access Slashdot for awhile. Actually, there doesn't have to be a crisis, even on a regular day, communications for hospitals, firefighters, police, National Weather Service, etc. should be given priority. This is no different than telephone companies giving priority to 911 calls (don't know if they actually do this, but they should). If the FCC wants to make a rule saying that two-way, real-time voice communication can have priority over other forms of net traffic because it is necessary for the service to work, and that those users have to pay extra for that, fine, as long as it's based solely on type of service and not who is providing the service.
I assume you're talking about something like mercury. The problem is mercury conducts electricity, not to mention environmental concerns. That's the problem, you need something that conducts heat very well, but doesn't conduct electricity at all. Most materials do both(e.g. metals), or neither(e.g. glass). Personally, I think the idea of using water is a great one. (And no, pure water does not conduct electricity. Only water with impurities conducts electricity.)

Somebody please mod this up funny
Don't forget it keeps falling down, just like any baby.

I'm getting a kick outta all the physics challenged people who assume this is an April Fools post.
I assumed "free Boobs" would be an April Fools link too. I am happily mistaken.

The GPS probably thought you meant tarjeta, Spanish for card. So it directed you to a Mexican shop that sold cards of some sort.
