Sorry but you CAN make the cap from the same plastic as the bottle. Same process even, they chose not to because of cost. Caps are bought based on color they want (same plastic = clear caps.. how un pepsi-like)
Brother has been in injection molding business for decades, I know a thing or two.. and no the bottle does not need to handle thousands of pounds. That one is way over the top. Blow molded bottles start as bottle blanks that are made "GASP" just like how the caps are made...
P.S. bottle blanks are cool. strong little "test tubes" that are really useful.
we dont use office here at work. everyone is forced to use Open office.
there was whining for 1 week. now there is zero problems. Open Office.org is 100% useable in a office environment and yes we deal with customers and vendors that use MS office. No problems at all.
I convert a lot to Ubuntu and they never go back to Windows.
Why? because I wont support them if they do. Remove the free tech support for windows and suddenly the cost of windows smacks them in the face.
I get a request once in a while from an aunt or uncle... they stop when I remind them... "that's great, remember best buy will charge you $100.00 for every time you call them to fix it."
Every flash problem I found was related to crappy flash. I.E. Zenga games. Farmville is a horrible mess that they should be ashamed of. Latest Chrome + flash works far better because when farmville crashes it does not take down the browser.
Honestly, the biggest flash issue you fine, go and test it on a Windows box. you doscover the same issue exists over there because of Crappy flash apps.
I find it's more of a " we dont support that hardware under windows 7" so I have to go and search for who else remarks that hardware as their own and try 10-12 different drivers to get that damn scanner to work.
"neat recipts" scanners are made by Plustek. Plustek supports the hardware for years... Neat tells you to sick it up your rear and buy a new one from them...
I have more trouble getting hardware to work with windows 7 than Linux.
but it's not truthful... A new pc user should use ubuntu as it's EASIER than all version of windows.
Install software is as easy as a single click. A proper Laptop or PC requires Zero configuration. Windows pc's come all pre-configured, so to be fair the ubuntu pc should be 100% configured as well.
They can't get infected with 99.97% of all viruses and trojans out there which affect even seasoned professional PC users with multiple PHD's in PC use. Newbie Pc users click on everything and many trojans are designed to fool them. Those trojans are completely neutered under ubuntu.
Plus there is a ton of free software that is a single click away in the application store. Something that Windows lacks. They can find almost everything they need there.
BUT, it all lies on the back of having the ubuntu pc preconfigured like all windows boxes get.
Doing a half assed default ubuntu install is only designed to screw the newbie. Unfortunately dell will give them a half assed install.
Day 1 - today went ok, Got bored by 11:00pm spent the night in the Submarine pretending to shoot boats on the lake........... Day 10 - Tired of people looking at me, Museum officials told me that I cant flip everyone off.. I am sick of the coffee at the cafeteria... Tonight I'm going to see if I can get the solar challenge car out of it's exibit and try to run laps around the damned train.........
Day 20 - Police arrived for the 15th time tonight... They are getting angry when I set off the alarm and ask the dispatch lady that calls for them to bring me doughnuts or pizza. I was yelled at for putting celebrity names on all the fetuses, I guess some little girl lost it when she saw "Hanna Montana's aborted baby Sally", stuck on the 14 week old.
Day 30 - Been hiding in the ductwork for 5 days now... they cant find me but I can hear them looking......
Weather maps... You can get them easily, there are several birds that pass each day that give you nice old SSTV images of your hemisphere. Charts, if you left port without them then you deserve to die in the belly of a shark. Pirate, sorry but maps.google.com/pirates is not functional... for some reason there are no live traffic reports of pirate locations.
If you dont have the tools, knowledge, and skill to circumnavigate the globe without internet and radio, then you deserve to die if you embark on such a trip.
Most boats use the engine as the generator. you fire up the diesel and let it charge the batteries. Very rarely do you have a dedicated generator on the boat. And you want diesel not gasoline...
if you have the cash to sail around the world, then you can easily afford to hire a consultant to get the right thing for data connectivity. AS in easily afford I mean, $10,000 is lunch money kind of cash.
Sailing around the world takes a lot of money, you dont buy a $4500.00 handyman's special 1952 sailboat in florida, load it up with crap, and simply head east unless you are trying to commit suicide.
I agree with you, the guy is simply jerking slashdot around.
Yes! Because that takes the wind out of their argument! HOW DARE YOU!
I'm a self appointed scientist (if you are deeply interested in science then you too are a scientist.) and I still want more data about the whole thing. Mars ice caps are reducing, Jupiter storm activity is going up, we are seeing changes elsewhere than our planet which makes me raise an eyebrow.
a 1% change in the solar output will do far far more than if every man woman and child were to spend the next year doing nothing but releasing nasty greenhouse gas... and no not that wimpy Co2 stuff... let's get some of the more effective ones up there. Are we helping? yes. are we the cause? not enough data yet.
Yup most sane people understand that recycling at home is useless (in the separate your crap containers to feel good about yourself) Recycling in general IS effective. Lead recycling is hugely successful and has significantly reduced the need for mining new lead. Steel and metals recycling is hugely sucessful, almost all foundries use scrap metal in their furnaces. Plastics recycling makes us that horribly overpriced plastic decking that the rich people use to feel good on their new 6800 sq foot 8 bedroom home for 2, but there are other things that are real uses like fleece.. just don't get it near open flame as that crap goes up faster than gasoline soaked rags...
Composting at home is recycling that does work well.
Recycling works, it is that feel good, separate your trash, recycling at the curb that is fake. In fact more could be done to help the environment by having these feel good yuppie environmentalists STOP drinking bottled water. Bottled water is really bad for the environment as most bottling plants destroy the aquifer for the area they tap into for the real spring water.... The rest is just city water put in plastic bottles that are not recycled if you don't take the cap and ring off. because the makers are too stupid to make the cap and bottle out of the same plastic. Well not too stupid, it's on purpose... Cheapest price is far more important that recyclability.
I lived in chicago for a long time... the best is to keep your money on a money clip and seperate from your wallet. when robbed, take out the money clip and drop it and walk away fast, their eyes will be on the cash not you.
works great. Works best when it's a thick wad of 1's covered with a 20 dollar bill and a pocket full of change.. I drop it at their feet and yell "TAKE IT" as I walk away... they always grab the cash and run. Most of the time it's a crackhead looking for dope money.. so $30.00 in $1.00 bills and a 20 looks like a fortune to them. you are long gone by the time they realize you joe' jobbed them.
works good for bums too... Asking for change, grab some out of the pocket and drop it, keep walking. They stop to grab the change.
And yet liberals plug their ears and scream "I CANT HEAR YOU" when you present the solid and provenfact that gun laws DO NOT STOP gun violence as criminals, suprisingly, do not care what gun laws say... Criminals have no problems getting guns even in places like the UK.
Gun laws simply disarm honest people. That is it. there is no other use.
If they did not have a gun, then it would have been a knife. Dont even dare to try and make it sound like that the gun perpetuated the violence.. It was the unstable person that did it.
Unstable wackjobs will do what ever it takes... Ohh look, a wine bottle, that will kill someone nicely.
Not many. I had my first firearm at 10. I had a 22/410 and went hunting on my own a lot when 12 on my parents property.
Kids that are trained in the use of firearms and their danger are more capable than a 40 year old uneducated moron that leaves a loaded pistol on the table.
In fact MANY farmer kids from 8-13 have and own a firearm of their own.
""It's less of an issue about the licenses evaporating, and more of an issue of whether or not we continue to maintain the operating systems and the graphics cards to run those games."
Whatever... I have a copy of the really old Unreal Tournament that works great on windows 7 with a modern video card. his "issue" is a non issue and is used as a red herring to justify killing customers licenses.

Actually My solution is to give everyone 3 hand grenades. It would stop a lot of violence. I'd suggest bazookas, but they are useless close range.
