When I first researched it a little while ago, I think that Adblock was the original version of the addon, made for Chrome. Then Adblock Plus was made by a separate group, as a port to Firefox. Since I use Firefox as my main browser, that is what I am used to seeing.
I could be wrong, and don't care to google it right now. But I consider it that I use the one for each browser that was the original one for that browser. If nothing else, it gives both programs encouragement.
I didn't say we baled hay, I said we fed hay to our animals. We also helped our neighbors and friends put hay up in their haymow, and they all had binders twine as well. I don't remember any bales using wire. Even the large round ones our neighbor had were tied with binders twine, as far as I can recall.
The funny thing from my view is we never called it "baling wire", or "baling (anything else)". When we opened a bale of hay, we cut the binders twine that held it together.
They could start my not allowing double amputees to add 3 extra meters to each side. Kind of how they don't allow "shoes" that are simply 3-meter tall stilts with rubber soles on the bottom. I'm sure the current rule is more or less that.
I think the manned deep space probes will be crewed by amputees. Prosthetic limbs have a lower caloric need than flesh and bone. And floating in space isn't really demanding of legs and feet.
and better still its far stronger and requires much more force to break.
Again, does it? Have you tried to break someone's leg, versus breaking their blade? Of course, one definite advantage is that if it does break, you just put on a new one, rather than spending months in rehabilitation.
Actually, I wonder about that. If he is putting enough force on it to break it (maybe it gets really worn out from practice), and it breaks while all his weight is on it trying to lift him over the bar, it seems that he is going to hit the pavement hard on the remainder of his amputated limb.
The blade may be easily replaced with an identical one, but I don't know how well his already-damaged body will do.
What about the golfer that sued to use a golf cart between holes, when every other player has to walk? He has a medical condition that prevents him from being able to walk far.
A lot of science fiction stories have that as a main premise -- that mankind expanded out to other systems, and some of those colonies lost contact for so long the people forgot where they originated, or only remember small parts of their own ancestors' story.
Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover series, Ursula K LeGuin's Left Hand of Darkness novel, and Christopher Stasheef's Warlock series are all based on it. So is Anne McAffrey's Pern series.
My mistake. I knew he was a professor of one of the sciences, and forgot which one. Physics was what popped into my mind as I started the sentence. Thanks for the correction.
Of course when I started reading his stuff, I didn't know he was a professor at all. I just liked his stories.
Good point. The multiple suns could be in a temporary pattern that just happens to coexist with that planet's sentient species evolving. Maybe in another hundred thousand the suns will have moved into another pattern that moves some of them further away, and then have "nights" happen more frequently.
I read the short story loooong ago. Is the book similar? Or do they go into more societal concerns? I also saw the movie as well (the 2000 version), and didn't care for it much.
And as I was reading the thread with my various contributions, I will admit that my arguments against ned's posts aren't perfectly consistent as far as whether he means just one non-sports-watching geek, or everyone as individuals. But his comment did push my button.

If my customer has Firefox installed, I use Adblock Plus with it. That is also what I have on my own systems.
If they have Chrome instead, I use Adblock. I don't use Chrome, because I don't like its style, but several customers prefer it.

Hey. Stop making fun of me. :^P

Yet with all that, he still was outdone by 8 other athletes.

If he's not very good, I'd think the kit would just make him fall over.
I could try to use the world's best unicycle, but it doesn't mean I'm going to stay on top of it.
Hey, don't be so hard on him. Don't want people to think your Linus, do you?

Is there perhaps a webcomic that can explain that relationship to me? :^)

And a physics professor. He knew how to plan the science in his science fiction.
Also, he is one of my two favorite authors. It's him for science fiction, and Piers Anthony for fantasy.

I'd much rather live in the country than the sewer.
As if you've never quoted Monty Python, Star Wars, or Captain Kirk.
Is this a bank in the US?
Not asking the name, just curious where in the world banks are that way.
Do you walk around your users' office space looking for the paper they write successive passwords down on?
If I walked into the office, would i be able to find at least five passwords this way?
I don't think your "secure network" is that secure. I visit many offices in my work, and I see how people survive your system.
Hmmm, let me think about this. Which is safer?
A. Have a system similar to what an anonymous person online described, and never have to write down or save a password for sensitive sites; or
B. Have my computer remember all my passwords, and still have to write them all down for when I am out of the house.
I know what I consider to be more secure. How about others?
Yes, it's good to hear from you as well.

Thanks for the response.
How much do guys in Glengarry Glen Ross blush?
