The simple solution is plant more trees. More trees is more shade. More shade is more tolerance to higher temperatures (90 degrees in the shade feels cooler than 72 degrees in the sun). More trees is more hiding places / homes / food for pray/animals. Trees / plants also absorb sunlight, reducing the greenhouse effect.
Ok, so maybe that's not an energy solution, but I think a lot of our problems stem from urbanization and the lack of trees. The hippies are right, in this sense. Parking lots are a good place for trees, and having them for shade would help keep our cars cool as well. Trees are nature's natural climate stabilizer.
Well, its whatever the problem is where one eye can focus on an object and you see it fine, and then you close it and look through the other eye, and things are blurry without refocusing.
This is a problem of using correct prescription glasses/contact lenses. In short, nothing to do with a stereo screen.
No no no, the glasses can GIVE you astigmatism. I've very much noticed this phenomena after using the shutter glasses for extended periods of time. Its temporary but noticeable. It makes me worry if there are any long term effects that may occur if I used this significantly more often than I did.
I have a pair of e-dimensional 3d glasses (yes, they DO work if you have the right set-up and some patience*), and can say after showing them to a few people, several issues will keep 3d from mainstream:
Motion sickness
Astigmatism
Eye strain
The fact some people just can't plain see it despite having 2 eyes
Battery life of wireless shutter glasses
Looking like a nerd
There's some serious patience required to adjust to it, its not natural to focus your eyes direction at one depth, and change the actual focus to another. When what your looking at is far away (like a movie screen), its a lot easier. When its a TV or computer screen that is just a few feet away, its harder to adjust to, and for a lot of people if they don't instantly "click" with something then its hard to get them to want it.
Speaking of the obvious thought of porn, I'm surprised magazines haven't tried using stereoscopic pictures. This is a really easy 3d trick anyone can do- simply take two pictures of a static object side by side with the camera pointing towards a certain object (make sure its the same object in each one!). Put them next to each other, then slowly cross your eyes until they merge. It'll form a 3d picture, full color, no special equipment required, no red/blue glasses to give people headaches. The further apart the pictures are taken, the more pronounced the 3-d effect. You'll want to use the cross-eyed effect as opposed to the "looking into the picture" effect because it allows for a larger picture.
Am I the only one who things the information about the characteristics of DNA evidence isn't understood as well as it could be? For example, ever notice how 20 years later or so a convicted murder can be cleared because of new DNA evidence that doesn't match the DNA of the killer? Has anyone done an experiment to see how DNA evidence could possibly change over the course of 20+ years?
I think that only applies if your if your modem doubles as a firewall and has the firewall option turned off. Otherwise the MAC address should have nothing to do with it since NATs typically (although not always) use the port field to determine who goes to what. For example, I send information to w.x.y.z. When its sent, the source port on the packet is some random number, and the router keeps a table of what it assigned to what. When it receives a packet back from w.x.y.z, it looks at its destination port number and then converts the packet back and sends it back to the original computer. If it doesn't match anything on the table, then it assumes it was sent by mistake and discards the packet.
I suppose its all how you implement it though. We're probably both right in a sense.
A system behind a NAT device could sit forever because no incoming traffic would come to it without it making a connection request first. Just don't stick it in the DMZ until you have a firewall.
They can drive the price down at will. The cost of materials to manufacture the car in a factory is well below $40k, the thing is, you need to sell enough of them to justify the research and development expenses at that price.
Wow you guys have no idea how the law works. Actually yes, that would essentially give you amnesty because the cop put you in a position you wouldn't normally be in. An undercover cop can't just walk up to you and offer you marijuana, you have to walk up to him.
Well, the scientific method doesn't work for a lot of fields of science ironically. Actually, its these fields of science that are... well shit, just think about climatologists, what science experiment could they come up with to *really* prove or disprove anything they have to say? Computer models certainly aren't experiments. When it comes to direct observation, repeatability is difficult to accomplish (or verify), and isolating all of the variables is downright impossible.
Of course, now that I write that, I start to wonder if a climatologist is technically a scientist at all.
Capitalism only works if you have capital. An ideal system is part socialistic and part capitalistic, which is what almost every government is, to more or less of one degree or another.
I think some of you are misunderstanding how the legal system works. He faces 38 years in prison. Thats a maximum, just like you can face a maximum of 6 months in jail for rather meager crimes that you typically just pay a fine for. Most likely the judge will sentence him to just a couple of years and if the kid is good he'll get out in a matter of months at his parole hearing. He might also get one of those screwball "Can't use the Internet" sentencing or such in exchange for reduced time. He's 18 years old, but in this case they'll still treat him like he's a kid.
Why you would set-up a company that could literally be located almost anywhere in one of the most expensive states to live in? What's the competitive advantage of being forced to pay people a lot more money than they are actually worth virtually everywhere else?
If I had something illegal on my computer, wouldn't plain site be the last place I'd put it? This only catches the dumb criminals and is a problem for everyone else. My laptop takes 10 minutes to boot up now (its old), are they going to back-up the line waiting for it to boot up, then hit search for.jpg and start looking for at best naked pictures of my girlfriend that I forgot to remove years ago?
I mean, if I had some illegal pictures or something, I'd probably just make a.zip file, rename the file extension, then copy it to a digital camera's memory stick and have it on the camera. What's that file? I don't know, must be something the camera needs (not that it would ever get to that point).
But Zero Hour has taught me that they stick a bunch of these hackers in an internet center, stealing 5 dollars at a time from our bank accounts. As they get more skillful at hacking, they are able to steal... 6 dollars at time! Then 7!
Sounds pretty sophisticated to me. Sophisticated enough to satellite hack our command center- I mean government.
Actually the government doesn't pay anything. Drilling is an economic boom- you lease land to the oil companies to drill, then tax the hell out of them for the stuff they pump. Its no risk for the government itself. You can use that money to push research in renewable resources.
look up which party has done more filibustering in recent years.
You mean the democrats, who filibustered their way out of drilling in ANWR, preventing progress in a slush-tundra featuring the most rugged and survivable species in the world; who's preventative action is causing us to pay $4 a gallon for gas now?
Actually the side who filibusters is the side with the minority, since they are trying to prevent measures they know will lose to coming to vote. So logically the side that filibusters the most in recent years should be the side that couldn't win with voting power in the most recent years.

I don't see it.
Also how are you able to grab exact locations with a URL like you just did?

The fact your firewall was disabled shows you already did some interaction.

You can get two for one deals, fix your computer... AND hunt down your cheating husband!
And how would you calculate what intersects with what without iterating over each one?
