Too bad the Chicago tunnel system is long abandoned. I always thought it was cool. It seems like a lot of infrastructure to have in place but never use. I wonder if it can be upgraded to handle this new automated system.
You are correct. The Wall Street Journal's Numbers Guy has a great article on how box office records don't include inflation. Surprisingly, if you factor in inflation, Gone With the Wind is the best selling movie of all time.
the last few days slashdot.org has developed an almost infinite loop every couple of refreshes. The status bar seems to blame it on continually downloading from ad.doubleclick.net. I usually hit refresh to try again, but that doesn't work when you want to post comments:(
Disney industrial engineers have a worldwide reputation for moving people efficiently. It's a simple four step process:
1. Make the passengers wait in line for 2 hours.
2. Have them sit through mediocre two minute flight.
3. Passengers deplane in the gift shop.
4. Big Profit!
Every piece of documentation I ever read tells you that the file sharing feature is risky and to avoid using it. Call me when they find a vulnerability in VMwaretools. I won't be surprised with that either, but other people might. The mere presence of VMwaretools on a OS tells an intruder that there is a bigger fish to catch nearby.
Nano= small (10^-9) Particle= a minute portion, piece, fragment, or amount; a tiny or very small bit. Therefore a nanoparticle is a small minute portion? The only gas I see coming from this technology isn't hydrogen, and it stinks!
doesn't send people to their death by unmarked railroad crossings. This is a really bad situation. They should just have a button on the GPS that says, "This route doesn't work" and sends the information back to the company.
FYI if you have vanity license plates that say something interesting, your plates are probably run through the police computer several times a day by board cops. No, I will not tell you how I know this.
Yes, I mean the US government has been so good at mandating the switchover of standards. I mean the Metric Conversion Act of 1975 worked flawlessly. The end of analogue TV in the US happened in 2006 exactly as the FCC mandated in 1997.
I do think the best thing the FCC did for the digital television switchover is to make the sales of analogue TVs illegal. The same should be done for IPv6.
1) One of the worst educational systems in the country. It was so bad, it was declared unconstitutional in 1989 and has been in reform ever since.
2) More smokers per capita than any other state
3 Fewest teeth per capita than any other state
Go ahead and look it up, it's all true.
Taking away admin privileges for someone else's computer just seems wrong to me. Although, I have done it to my parent's machine, they live relatively close to me so I can stop over there if they need something installed, etc. My parent's also seem to understand the threats that exist on the internet better than my future mother-in-law. They used to be afraid of the computer, when I took away their admin privileges I told them I set it up so they can't break it and they are very happy.
When I setup my parent's DSL they received a "free" router from AT&T that came with a NAT firewall. A few years later and my future Mother-in-law orders DSL from AT&T and she gets a DSL modem and nothing else. Every time I visit her it's like playing whack-a-mole with worms and viruses. I installed a software firewall but she always removes it because it's "annoying" and slowing down her computer.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.

It isn't the fact that he harnessed gravitational potential energy to do work, it's how efficient it is at doing it. Although, as some have mentioned on this page, the efficiency claimed is suspect.

Let's just hope Trent's servers are better than Radiohead's.
Slashdotted before it made the main page! I don't know if that's impressive or pathetic.
Thanks for the info!

Oops! She didn't die. My fault!

Google would buy SAP and then make it usable.

Ever look into Gyrogenerators? So evil! Have to have one!
