"But honey, the picture window in the living room has such a lovely view!"
Just as you can appreciate the view from the inside, a peeping tom can appreciate it from the outside. And let's not forget about it being a velociraptor entry point.
All the strength in the world and the thing will just splinter when it hits something. Maybe it will go in an inch?
I have years of experience throwing old vinyls at sand and other soft to hard targets for fun. Don't worry, I didn't ruin any classics - it was mostly stuff like Cher and the Monkees.
If Burning Man were anything like most Steampunk material I've seen/read, they would build two of those giant effigies and play the world's largest game of Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em Robots... on fire.
I'm a good bit overweight myself right now, but think of it from the other perspective.
I'm a "person of size". I don't stick out sideways terribly, but I am 6' 5". That means that in most small to mid-size cars my knees are resting uncomfortably on the dashboard.
Businesses sell to the averages. The average person is this tall and this wide so that's how we'll design our chairs. It makes me wonder if I'll ever have to pay for the airline seat in front of me or behind me because I'm a "person of height".
All you'd really have to learn is the bare, bare basics of MySQL, set up a box at your home, and install Wordpress. No need to learn PHP or Javascript.
When you think of NASA as just a space agency, well - as things stand now there are people who will probably be doing it better in 10 years (if they aren't doing it now). But if you look at NASA as both a space agency and a R&D project, then their contributions to the world have been massive.
Putting aside the obvious contributions that they've made to space travel, NASA is largely (if not wholly) responsible for a whole bunch of stuff.
DirecNIC (an ISP located in New Oreleans) managed to keep their operations going for the entire duration of the Hurricane Katrina disaster and long after that with practically no downtime thanks to their backup generators. They didn't just shut things down - they kept right on going. If you're in an area where power loss or some other sort of disaster is a real threat then this is absolutely the way to go. Bonus, you can pretty much keep the UPSes you have because they just need to keep the systems online long enough for the generators to switch on (as the parent said).
By that logic we'll never have anything truly green.
This is not the most appropriate tool for hard copies of records that are going to be stashed in a filing cabinet for twenty years. However, for uses in which the paper is used once or twice and then discarded (handouts at a meeting, internal memos, etc.) this would be perfect.
A business with at least 100 people in it could probably justify the expense.
Besides, aren't scientists and private companies always scrambling to toss as much crap up in space as they can? I doubt NASA would have any problem finding stuff to send up there with the heaviest version.
Interestingly enough, if you didn't know this, the term originates from the Wild West. The person sitting next to a stagecoach driver typically "rode shotgun" and literally carried a shotgun.
One of the earliest references to the phrase "riding shotgun" in print occurred in the 1905 book The Sunset Trail, by Christopher Keeney [1] The expression was used to refer to riding as an armed guard in the front of a stagecoach, next to the driver (this would usually have been on the left, as stage drivers traditionally sat on the right, near the brake). An earlier term for the same duty was "shotgun messenger." The use of the phrase in print to refer to automobiles occurred in 1954 simultaneously with the TV series Gunsmoke, which became extremely popular, and used the terminology of riding shotgun nearly weekly.[2] It is thus possible that the use of the term "riding shotgun" in reference to stagecoaches is an anachronism, and that the term began only after the depictions of stagecoaches in Western-based TV series.
There is a crowd hatred towards those who are spiritual in those places. I profess nothing more than what Jesus did: Love everyone even if they hate you. And I get lots of people raging that I'm the cause of all the world's problems. It is like they fail to read that all I profess for others is love.
Atheist here.
No, they absolutely read it. They understand all you profess for others is love. The problem is that there are lots of other Christians out there that profess their love for mankind in one sentence and yell about the homos and commies burning in Hell in the next sentence.
Christianity (like any cult* or religion) has a very vocal minority ruining it for all of the relatively sane folks who practice it (see: televangelists, Bible Belt Fundies, Westboro Baptist Church).
Now if I sat here and wrote "Everyone makes fun of me because I'm fat!" I'm sure that I would get a slew of comments telling me to get off of my ass and go exercise. So I'll do the same courtesy to you. Rather than complain about how people treat you like shit because of your spirituality, perhaps you should direct your energy towards organizing people together in a voice that will be louder and more powerful than your oppressive, idiotic brethren who are twisting Scripture to serve their own political or monetary purposes.
Go out there, do some good, and (contrary to what some Christians believe) let people know about it. Show them that not every person of faith is out to turn America into theocracy or out to buy a second Rolls Royce for their vacation home. A couple hundred years of peace, love, and goodwill to man might undo all the bad press the Crusades and Inquisition gave you guys.

Dude, I'm a huge fan! I loved your work in Doom 2! And you got totally screwed for the "Best Supporting Actor" award for your role in Army of Darkness.
I imagine it would also be useful in determining where they most need to expand their network.
"Hmm, apparently we have had a 400% increase in customers in Boise over the last year... we probably should roll out another tower in the area to improve service."
Also, as far as I know isn't the location data just from like triangulation? So the feds might not be able to prove that you were at a particular address, but they could prove that you were within 10 blocks of that address.
I assume after all things Galactica are said and done it will be released in printed form to much fanfare. For now they can't because it still holds a lot of plot points that they can still use in future stories.
Okay, here's the system I'd like to see. If it infringes on the rights that the Constitution protects, it should be illegal. There's my moral system right there.
Nowhere does anti-sodomy laws, controlled substances laws, blue laws, etc. fall under that.
I'd love to use Linux if it weren't for the fact that I'm a heavy gamer.
Switching to Linux means abandoning my collection of 100+ games - and those are the ones I just have installed. Sure, I could use WINE, but compatibility issues abound.
I also have a ton of games on Steam which is only supported on Windows.
Until Linux somehow figures out how to woo a whole bunch o' developers to start coding for it - and I mean guys who crank out AAA titles like Bioshock, Modern Warfare 2, and Starcraft II - then I won't be able to jump on the Linux bandwagon no matter how much I'd like to.
The sad thing is is that it shouldn't be too hard for a paid staff of writers to maintain continuity. There's no excuse in this day and age.
Battlestar Galatica, for instance, had a series bible for all writers to refer to. It had everything from detailed backgrounds on the characters to hard facts.
So let's take a standard Star Trek fact - the only appropriate matter/antimatter intermix ratio is 1:1. Yet I recall seeing in a few episodes here and there that different intermix ratios were used. As I understand it, this wouldn't work at all.
They need to think a little more long-term when they put a fact onscreen. If they say that the trip from Point A to Point B is three weeks at Warp 9, then it should be a mathematically correct length of time for Warp 6. But I'm sure lots of mistakes like this were made.
I do hope that if a new series comes out they give it the proper treatment. Hammer out all of these important facts in pre-production. If there's a continuity error on-screen, the Trekkies will spot it.

Amen, my anonymous brother!
You name it, we lost it.
Sanity, Common Sense, Self-Respect, Patriotism...
Of course they have missionary schools. If they didn't, then all of those poor newlyweds would be largely unprepared for their wedding nights.
Businessess - regardless of their size - should not be able to donation to politicians. Only individual persons should be able to.

Isn't that how it should be?
I mean, if I want to go from one city to another, it would be rather unpleasant to discover that my car does not fit on the road.
Also in regards to your point, cartridges are tough whereas optical media is wimpy little girly men.
You drop a cart and it'll survive. I'm sure gamers would appreciate the extra durability...

Yeah, they never brought us anything useful ever.

what effect does this flywheel have?
Blue sparks shoot out of the wheels, and then you can get ahead of your competitors and shoot a green shell backwards at them.
Buck up. At first you may have felt a bit scatter-brained, but you hit the bulls-eye eventually!
