Are you commenting on how this place is where good tools go to die...
Or how they sell such crappy tools, that they will inevitably die.
I've bought a good many tools from harbor freight, and yes, I know what you're talking about. Everything is crap, so only buy things you'll rarely use or they can't hardly screw up.

It beats the terrorist method of intentionally exploding when near a massive amount of people. Hey, and every now and then you'll get lucky and blow up a bunch of terrorists together.
Once a male (insert species here) gets a female (insert hopefully same species here) to mate, she's done. She's not going to want to do it again period, ever, very long time at least anyway. So for male that gets that female, that ends a family tree worth of (insert speciesies here).
Good point, then I'd say we send it before the event gets crowded...
Or perhaps to all towers around the event, but not at the event...
Or perhaps this is just a bad idea all together because as soon as we figure out a way to do this right, people are going to stop using cell phones and move to something else.
I would say that if she's an aspiring young terrorist, and she wants to blow up as many as possible, she's going to realize that the bus is a better target and manually detonate...
Now, what if she's on her way to a bombing in a truck with her 7 other suicide bombing buddies.... Great!
What if you managed to catch the bomber and their handler in the same place (who said terrorists are smart... NYC, pathfinder, fail.
Ok, this will only work a few times, and soon the terrorists would find other ways to detonate....
Every now and then the phone company can randomly send a text message. Or, since the bomb is probably tied to the speaker, just send half a ring. just something small. And do it more often near holidays or major events where people gather (like, before the superbowl, send everyone a text message)
No need to send to EVERYONE, just everyone in areas where people gather...
So are you saying that if they were going to make some shit up, they should have picked some better elements to do it with?
If all it takes to get this right is a little math and some pressure to FUSE the elements...
Stay tuned for my forthcoming fusion announcement. I'm going to be combining Tantalum(73) with Scandium(21) to make Plutonium (94) with a hammer. And when I'm done, I'm going to show you split again so we can get some fission energy as well. The split will be to get some Tellurium(52) and Molybdenum (42)
When you take in any device for service, you have to sign an agreement. The agreement most importantly says that you will pay to get your device back, or you won't get it. It also says things like "we're not reponsible for any lost data" and "we'll call the cops if we find child porn"
I'm willing to bet it says "We're going to replace any non-factory screws with OEM models" or some other equivalent CYA type statement.
ITS YOUR COMPUTER, and I bet you agreed to this when you signed the form and left the computer with them.
overkill, like most situations (torx, hex, that weird triangle nintendo, roberson and philips), an appropriately sized flat head screwdriver and some careful turning opens them just fine. Just get a screwdriver that grabs just enough. Sure, you're not going to get a stuck screw out, but with these fine-threaded screws... I've had no problems with stuck screws.
The one case I've come across where this didn't work was a Security Torx, as it has a post in the center that blocks the slotted.
I patented the 'button' a few years back. (both hardware and software buttons) Proving no prior art was tough, but our government is easily bribed. I like Apple so I went ahead and let them in on it. That's why apple devices have so few buttons. I get $25 for each button they use.
Anyway, lookout google... I see you're using a lot of my buttons.
You list different programs, and it struck me funny.
Made me think of the US running an app store, deciding which countries can get which programs. Not a good use of resources. Personally I'd rather they just say no exports to cuba, and spend that money on the app store doing something productive, like studying the sex habits of slugs after drinking alcohol.
Has the palin family been working for webster's lately?
I'd say that taking documents he shouldn't have taken, and then giving them to someone who wants to damage the country is a pretty good example of #3, and even #2
treason [tree-zuhn] Show IPA –noun 1. the offense of acting to overthrow one's government or to harm or kill its sovereign. 2. a violation of allegiance to one's sovereign or to one's state. 3. the betrayal of a trust or confidence; breach of faith; treachery.
For the below AC, most in the US associate Incest with an adult mail with a sickness having relations with a child. Sure, there are adult/consensual exceptions but this thread is about sex offenders, not consenting adults.
Regardless though, I think the longterm response to these criminals should be relative to their crime. A young guy sleeping with a slightly younger girl? No permenant punishment. A 50yo man that preys on young boys, sorry I want to know where you are for the rest of your life so I, and my kids, can stay away.
that's exactly what I was thinking. He started off on the right track, but then got all soft. same materials + a capacitor, slightly different wiring plan.
Eh, I know people are modding you down and whatever, but I have 2 kids, and yeah. I agree, mostly. I think they should have to wear a bracelet that beeps loudly so we'll know who they are. Or something identifyable. A big tatoo on their forhead?
But not everyone. Considering that being 18 and sleeping with your 17yo girlfriend can get you classified as a sex offender, I think this should be selective.

Idiot...
You don't know females very well...
Once a male (insert species here) gets a female (insert hopefully same species here) to mate, she's done. She's not going to want to do it again period, ever, very long time at least anyway. So for male that gets that female, that ends a family tree worth of (insert speciesies here).

Wow, this energy stuff is easy and fun!
The way I understand it, they produce steam, which turns turbines, which can then be condensed back into water, recycled like your car radiator.
Fuel in this experiment is Hydrogen (H-1) and Nickel (Ni 28)... output is copper (Cu-29).
The problem I see though is all the dope-heads raiding the thing for the copper to take to the recyclers for quick cash.
They're going to be bitching about how hydrogen and nickel are non-renewable, and how this raises the temp of water, which kills the fish ;)
Just kidding. Skeptical, but hope it's true.
If I recall, there were 2 world wars that involved germans in france... Two to one.
It's funny, I clicked the link for the tank, and with all the colored flags, I thought it was for sale at a car dealership.
Ok, it seems like they're saying "go wear jeans for 15 months without washing, they'll be safe"
Ok, what if you work in a chicken processing plant.
What if you work in a laboratory that deals with human excrement.
Please people, don't start using this study as an excuse...

Further research shows there are more http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2008/12/screw_heads_demystified.html but many of these I've NEVER seen. Is that a two headed pacman?
Damn you math geeks. Why must you come here and spew your incomprehensible formulas.

Let me think...
MOST of those companies also have devices that run some microsoft OS, or plans for one....
Maybe not Nokia...
Argument Fail.

Look, if you're a danger to society, you should be removed from that society.
Finally someone that agrees that we should greatly expand the death penalty!

Rape, yes.
Incest, yes.
others? maybe.
