The difference is that Porsche's team was able to keep going through years of rebuilding, prototyping, and redesign, up to and including inventing new kinds of steel since the unibody design and the suspension couldn't be made with the kinds that existed when Porsche first designed it. And frankly the Dymaxion looks much like it's more fun.
Or to the innocent man/woman locked up for life for a case of mistaken identity... At least when someone has been locked up for life and you realise you've made a mistake, you can let him out and more or less try to make up for it (more or less since I guess you can't really).
When you've killed him, it's too late to do anything. IMO it's the single best argument against death penalty in a judicial system.
You know.. if the neighbor is playing loud music, you can complain to the authorities about that... Couldn't the neighbour just counter-report you to the RIAA because you've been listening to his music. You thief ?
I know that some older Sony machines had trackpoints (my old PictureBook has one) but they seem to have abandoned the device unfortunately. Apparently a lot of people don't like it (which would explain the trend towards dual controllers for the few fans I suppose).
H2O ice does sublimate. Here's an easy way to prove it. All you need is a freezer and an ice cube tray. 1. Fill ice cube tray with water (liquid, H2O water) and put it in freezer. 2. Go back in a day and mark the level of the ice in the tray. 3. Return later (preferably at least a week) and marvel at how the ice is below the level marked. 4. ??? 5. Profit. Nope 5. You've got freezer gnomes 6. Call the exterminator
There is a shortage of decent employees, so all the skills are fucking off to the US and Canada where they can support themselves in the game industry without being a bartender in their spare time. What is this "spare time" you speak of ? This thing is undefined in the gaming industry.
I am continually spammed by UK recruiting agencies that request high qualifications and pay you 20K pounds and 50 hour week, but there is a plus to it. The uniform is provided. Phew, that's good to know. My sewing is really terrible.
At my last job I had to make my own uniform and the kids threw stones at me. It really sucked.
I doubt whether many CDs are produced in Frace, and I bet that those which are do not currently have copyright protection devices attached to them. Yeah, we only have two singers and I hear one of them wasn't feeling to good lately. (duh)
This starts to make sense when you realise they were/are comparing Sarkozy to Blair. It makes even more sense when most people consider that Sarkozy's spiritual master was Italy's infamous Premier Sylivio Berlusconi...
Read up on Socrates, read something about how to form an argument, how to pursuade people; becuase you obviously have no clue of how to do that. Sorry but this website is abuse, arguments is two hosts down the intarweb.
At least not in America. But hey, at least this time the politicos can say "but Sweeden is doing it, too!" For extra fun, find voters who can point at Sweden on a map. Then try it with politicians.
Reminds me that when the metre was created it was so that the Earth's circumference would be 40,000,000 metres. And since then we measure the Earth's circumference in metres (well, kilometres), and it's not 40,000,000. Go figure.. It was supposed to be fixed in post, but then they got sidetracked.
Ahh I see, so when you said "for anyone living in the 21st century" that wasn't meant to be derogatory at all, you were just referring to... the young people? right on Not derogatory ? How about all the people who don't use the Julian calendar ? It's not the 21st century for everybody !
I'm sure they find it extremely offensive. And think he's an insensitive clod to boot ! So there. And they use celsius too ! Hah !
To be fair, its a different system. I believe the average commute in the US is ~25-30 miles, while in the UK its around 8.5. Fair point. It was built that way mostly because of the free energy though.
Yeah, doubling in 10 years. The price has doubled in 1 year in the US. How would you feel if it went up to 3.24 euros/litre over the course of the next few months? Well, as seen from here you've always had your gas for free, and now you merely have to buy it cheap.
Supposedly encryption applications like PGP are hard to break but with one or more computers in the million SEK range it will be possible to break everything from encrypted love-letters to journalist correspondance with protected sources. "Supposedly" ? Has there been some kind of advance in mathematics I'm not aware of ? Or have computers suddenly gotten insanely faster ? Or do Swedish politicians expect to live for centuries ?
The best thing to do would be a huge campaign to promote high grade encryption all over the country IMO. There are lots of vocal activists that could start this kind of thing.
Then the listeners can "supposedly" feel free to try and decrypt all that crud. It'll give their expensive servers something to do.
Back in the early days of broadband, I had an anonymous ftp with upload access set up on a home server. I would not infrequently end up with a directory a dozen levels deep, with some random file, as some bot tested my server for what it was capable of. I had that too, even though my/incoming was blind (unlistable). Eventually I removed it as it wasn't worth the hassle. But then just browsing through the access logs of any web server shows a steady stream of tests against numerous vulnerabilities, old and new. Even on small home machines (I have servers on ADSL2+ lines for various purposes). Anything connected to the outside gets hammered in seconds nowadays. It's depressing really.

I'd print it on little pages and bind them into flip books. That should last pretty much forever.

ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:16:3E:72:42:c2
New MAC address!
I just change my IP address randomly from 192.168.1.2 all the way to 192.169.1.255 every day. They'll never find me ! Hahahaha !Um, wait...
Stupid git.
Maybe we could gun the rich and tax the bans ?
Bah. Just send anything sensitive through the post office. Nobody will expect that.
Then try it with politicians.

Hrum. Reluctantly puts ATI on the things to maybe consider list.
I'm sure it must be real tough.
