I've been many in regions where mosquitoes thrive. I'm seldom bothered by them, however, and I attribute this to my long standing habit of snacking on hot peppers of one sort or another. Skip right by those jalapenos, though. They don't seem to work as well as some nice Scotch Bonnets, or Bird's Eyes (Thai). Habeneros work extremely well.
When that project is rolling along, the application is seldom usable for documentation purposes because of missing or changing functionality. And since there're no specs to work from, it's damned hard to write documentation for the product.
You guys can write all the fancy code you want, but if your users don't have reliable docs that explain how it all works, you might as well have been sucking your thumbs as writing code. Your application will be misused, misunderstood, and eventually your development and support teams will be expending as many hours supporting the current application as they are trying to code updates, because you wanted to be trendy and were too damned lazy to provide the tech writers with technical and functional specs.
And since all this process requires are the stalks, then for all intents and purposes, yes. It is the same plant.
The buds, which have recreational and medicinal uses aren't being used. The key word there is lignin. They're using the long, fiberous material not the buds.
Senator Leland Yee is proof that the vast majority of elected officials are useless buffoons. They are in excess of humanity's requirement survive and therefore redundant except as raw material to create soylent green.
The idiot does not realize that to do so would require sales enforcement to regulate the sale of servo motors, items that contain servo motors, all-thread rod, timing belts, gears, bare circuit boards, solder...
The list is endless. Such a person should also consider banning libraries since I can use one to learn the procedure to produce nitro-cellulose. And let's not forget that we must also permanently incarcerate all of the specops guys since they could train everyday citizens to become insurgents.
The best use for politicians is to fill abandoned mine shafts.
Unless a person is willing to become a Darwin Contestant, they won't use it. I sure as hell won't. Fingerprint biometrics are barely reliable in a lab situation. I can't imagine anyone putting up for this sort of crap going out to do some work. It's just more feel-good bullshit from someone who's never pulled the trigger for real.
What a fucked up place. Long, long ago, I was a proponent of "My country, right or wrong."
As I grew older that changed to distaste and then disgust with home and foreign policies.
Of late, it's become a cancer eating at my soul. What the fuck happened to America?
When I went off to the military I was so damned naive that I wish I could bitch slap my younger self.
I am activating my ace in the hole, which is a dual-citizenship courtesy of my immigrant parents (yes, they arrived with residence visas in-hand and obtained green cards).
It should be possible to remove the dust using static electricity. Back in the vinyl LP days, there were a couple of systems that used static electricty to make dust "jump" off an LP. Considering the system's cost and that it was a consumer product, there's probably "professional" version that does the job quite well.
Holy crap. There have been dozens of moon/asteroid/airless-planet habitat ideas published since the 40's. While not all of them were well reasoned and possible, a huge number of them were. All that was lacking when the stories were written was a way to get there and the material technology to build the damned things. Most of those issues were resolved decades back.
Don't hail the sintered dome idea a new, unless you want to be in the same category as people raving about "new and improved" dish detergent. The idea's already been written about. But then, so have most of the habitat ideas.
I know a professional who would disagree with you about personal responsibility. He has made his living for the last ~30 years providing people with a very final dose of personal responsibility. All it takes is someone willing to pay for his services.
It's interesting that you automatically assume that technological threats are automatically unbeatable. One of the primary reason that current military technology does so well in the current active theaters is because there is a decided lack of everyday electronics in the hands of the locals. On the other hand, in most of north America, it's a simple matter to pick up some arduinos, PICS, or STAMPS, some batteries, and a few sensors and construct all sorts of interesting devices to cause mayhem on a national force.
Also of note, urban warfare takes on an entirely new dimension in the presence of ubiquitous mass transit in the form of trains and subways. Guerrilla warfare will remain effective for many decades to come. Insurgency is not always defined by a grubby bad of ne'r-do-wells with a rifle.
A government only functions because the citizenry acknowledge it and grant it authority. If enough people ignore it, it will die.
An anonymous tip about his huge traffic internet/brick'n'mortar crack dealing will do the trick.
They'll smash his doors in on nothing but hot air if it involves drugs, but can't do shit if he's selling little kid's asses, let alone hacking your wifi.
I see a possible future where the entirety of Iceland's international internet traffic is easily handled by a single 56kbps dialup modem.
Ban porn. LOL. Try banning the air that you breath. You cannot legislate a person's morals no matter how much you wish to. At best, these efforts will slightly inconvenience people who want porn. Have they not heard of SSH tunneling?
The most gainful activity that a government official can engage in is composting another government official.

Say hello to the new STASI, same as the old STASI.
Just don't complain about the lack of a regime change in America or you'll be sent to (indefinite) detention and never be heard from again.
I'll pulling my battery unless I need to make a call.
It's a fucking shame how our government is becoming more and more like the cold war-era East Germany.
Your lack of knowledge on the issue shows that you only rarely eat hot peppers.

I eat a handful of hot peppers everyday ;-)

Oh, lord, that was good. I wish I could give you an up-vote or something.
Would you accept this old hotel swipe card as a token of my esteem? It should work in any ATM.
Probably not.

I first read that passage just after first Tet in '68. It was true when RAH penned it, and remains true today.
The only thing wrong with the government is the government.

There's nothing here worth saving.
Use decent encryption and use unknown, foreign email accounts accessed via a VPN to communicate.
2048-bit keys are your friends.

obviously that's "breeding" program not "breading" program, unless the Neanderthals want to bake bread and cookies out of humans.
Are these cookies made from real Girl Scouts?
Mine are. But only the ones with real mince meat fillings.
The hitman is scrupulously honest.

Burned by HP's Touchpad? Not hardly. My TouchPad dual boots WebOS and CyanogenMod 10.
It was well worth the moeny. The graphics are tremendous and the audio is soooo sweet.

I have no problem with stealth. My issue is that a fighter needs guns. Period. Otherwise, it is just so much meat in a can.
