Hydrogen may be clean to use and get, but is it energy efficient to use it?
FTFA:The V12 cylinder engine delivers 260 hp; the top speed of the Hydrogen 7 is 143 mph and acceleration 0-60 mph is 9.2 sec.
I had a similar question: "What are the operating costs?" But unfortunately for those of us who are more interested in efficiency are in the minority; so car makers market to the folks who consider automobiles to be a status sort of thing instead of a piece of machinery. I can care less how fast it can go or its acceleration.
i've got to think that this will create a market for phones that wont allow this kind of thing to happen.i'd go without a cell phone before i'd let myself be tracked like that everywhere i go.
That's an issue for me also. I also don't like the idea of having ads rammed down my throat when I'm searching for something. Meaning, if I'm searching for a "Joe's Coffee", I don't want Starbucks shoved onto my screen.
FTFP: The advertisement system may provide to the mobile device of the user a search result that includes an advertisement for a coffee shop.
I am also concerned that someone will figure out how to get your phone to ring with an advertisement when you're near a client. That will really piss me off! I don't want to interrupted with ads!
Yes, but, at the risk of stating the obvious, there's a big difference between dying in an car accident and being killed by someone who blows up a train.
How? In both instances you're dead. It just differs to the people who see it on the news. If we saw someone everyday on the news dieing from cancer or heart disease or a traffic fatality; which according to the odds is the way we will die, we all would have a much different perspective about the risks from terrorism. And I don't know about you, but spending months in the hospital dieing from cancer (very painful so I'm told) scares me much more than dieing instantly in a terrorist attack. The media is completely distorting risk in people's minds.
You may as well console someone who gets mugged by saying "well, you know, people accidentally lose money every day."
Being mugged is having money forcibly taken away and it's not losing money. So, of course you couldn't console someone that way. Perhaps you meant "People are robbed everyday, so don't take it so hard." ?
Rupert Murdoch took US citizenship so he could own a US TV network. There goes your theory.
Did he renounce his Australian Citizenship?
What about the Financial Times? What if they break a story that the Government doesn't like? Or what about the zillions of websites and other papers, magazines, and whatnot that are owned by a foreign businesses.
OK, I was ignorant about the citizenship of Murdoch, but still doesn't invalidate my point. You need to look at the big picture.
FTFA: Boucher's amendment also specified that "foreign powers or agents of foreign powers"--including a government-controlled newspaper--and any "foreign terrorist organization" designated by the Secretary of State cannot receive the protections.
Now, I realize that they're aiming at, let's say, a newspaper owned by the Chinese Government, but I have this sinking feeling that it will be applied to some paper like the "Wall Street Journal" since it is now controlled by an Australian. I just see some Attorney General saying that a "Foreign Power" also applies to foreign business men. Laws are never in black and white. They can always be interpreted to mean more than they originally intended; hence, the need for courts.
Which brings me back to an important point, you're not going to change anyone's mind.
I'm in the middle of starting up a small business and was talking to someone about marketing. This individual (Not an in-duh-vidual - a Ph.D.) suggested that I send out mass emails. I told him that I can't do that because I'll be a spammer and my ISP will yank my account. He then mentioned that they're are ways to mask my origins. I said if I get caught doing that, I'll be in even more trouble. Besides, I DON'T want to be a spammer.
My point? Spamming has become so standard and everyday that people don't even give it a second look now and just consider it an annoyance at worst. The only people who really care are those of us in IT.
"Sci-fi novelist William Gibson has given up trying to predict the future -- because he says it's become far too difficult.
I find it impossible. I guess that's why I can't get a job:
Interviewer: "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"
Me: "If I knew what was happening in 5 years, I'd be a billionaire and NOT interviewing for some dipshit wage slave job! And maybe, if I actually knew, I'd be committing suicide for my dismal future of: commuting at least an hour in traffic one way each day, having to put up asinine reviews that are geared to make me fail, watching CEOs who get fired leave with tens of millions of dollars in severance while, the rest of us watch our jobs go overseas,and... oh fuck it!"
Well, I've also noticed that there isn't a good representation of women in garbage collection force either. Oh no, they're also under-represented in the mines!
absolutely! And I want mention the under representation of men among mothers. Why is there this prejudice against men having babies? I would love to give birth, but I can't. I'm not allowed to. I want to sue, but noooooooooo! I'm a man and men have it made and therefore my case won't go to court. And is it allowed for my wife to impregnate me? Noooooooo, again another prejudice! I wish we'd put aside these prejudices and just allow folks to be who they are!
I just tried logging into my Hotmail account and I got this page saying "Hotmail is now Windows Live Hotmail" with a completely new domain name and everything. I don't know if this is legit or a phishing expedition and I didn't get any email in the last couple of days saying this will happen. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to wait a couple of days and if I don't see any news of phishing of Hotmail accounts, maybe I'll go through the hassle of logging in, or maybe not.
You see, I really don't feel like spending time surfing the web trying to find out if it's legit or trying to find the MS contact email and waiting a day or so for MS to tell me if it's OK or not.
Like it'll be 20 degrees F outside and they're STILL running A/C for the computers.
Climate controlled. There's this element among building planners that think any outside air is bad(TM). That's why, even in small buildings where you don't have to worry about pressure differentials blowing windows out like you do in skyscrapers, you can't open a frick'n window in the Fall or Spring when the air smells wonderful and there's this perfect chill in the air the just stimulates the brain.
I'm drenched in sweat here in Hotlanta (it's 82F and 66% humidity and climbing to 94) and I really miss New England's Spring and Fall.
The interesting bit is that it merges data from MRIs as well as various other types of brain scans to create a single visualization for your noodle.
FTFA:...including conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI (fMRI), and diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI).
They're all forms of MRI. Unless there's a MRI machine that can do it all, it would seem to me that you would have to have the patient go from one machine to another. I'm curious how they match up the structures exactly from one scan to another. Do they use a bunch of points on differing brain structures and then the software matches those up?
anything like that. But on this machine here, I have a user account for both of us as well as the admin account and except for the admin account, the others don't have passwords. That way, when she logs in, her email and her desktop comes up and the same, obviously, for me. We're not hiding anything from one another, it's just that to mix everything up would be confusing and could lead to possible errors.
I don't think one book, even if it looks like the rest of the teen girl trash rags, is going to overcome a decades of social pressure to avoid being seen as "nerdy."
I think it's more of society as a whole reducing to the lowest common denominator. It's no longer trying to strive to be educated and to better oneself, but it's now to act dumb, not try hard, talk like a moron, and become famous somehow and get the easy money. Paris Hilton is what kids strive to be: not Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein or Jack Kennedy (or whoever your favorite statesman is).
Do kids want to dress well? No, they dress like bums. They get piercings and tattoos like bikers, strippers, drug dealers and other lowlifes. Do they try to refine their communications skills? Hell no! They talk like some ghetto uneducated slob.
It was the same when I was growing up. The kids who dressed well and worked at school were called "preppies". Of course now, most of those "preppies" are MDs, JDs, engineers, etc.... The others, are waiting tables.
Researchers find hole, act like 1337 733ns about it.
Can't you write it in English? You supposedly wrote something "Insightful" but I can't tell. And when I Google "1336 733ns", I get electronics suppliers. Apparently, that's a part number for something.
Along with tatoos, and piercings, I hope that trendy style of spelling words goes into the annals of stupid fads.
This is not just with al-quaeda, but governments and any group that has an agenda and is media savvy - foreign or domestic.
I always wondered why there wasn't some video showing Bin Laden (and all of the big shots with Al Qaeda) eating bacon while jerking off to Barbie Dolls and getting it up the ass.
In some states, digital images are not allowed in a court of law as evidence. And many critics of the news media and digital photography in general are against digital because of the ease of altering images compared to wet (analog) photography. Hopefully, software like this will make digital a bit more acceptable. The only thing I'm a little worried about is how accurate it is.
So If we get an infinite number of Humans, and have them type on an infinite number of Typewriters, We'll still have a season of crap on TV.......
You must cease and desist! That is the trade secret of the writers of the "Jerry Springer" show. If you fail to comply, you will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and then be put on the show and have your ass kicked by some hick and or ho.
