Which reminds me of my drive to work this morning... The human element is a huge factor in something like traffic, when you have people running red lights, right on red when it's a no-no, and lane changes with no blinker (signal for those of you not in the Boston area).
Given the circumstances of driving, and introducing the human element, I'd nominate Boston, LA, or something of the sorts. Furthermore, I will gladly accept a government stipend to live in this town, and drive like I do to work. As long as GLaDOS isn't running these experiments.
That sounds all too familiar... 1. Let's abuse group A very badly 2. We make it up to them by giving them land 3. We give them terrible land in the desert 4. They open casinos and make some money 5. We tax said casinos... 6. Profit
Having a license to carry a concealed firearm, as many others in this country have, what does this accomplish? This would be an unreasonable search of my person, without a warrant, resulting in the inevitable "papers, please." Too many ways for that situation to end up poorly...
I'd like to see an image from something headed toward the sun, looking back at Earth. Showing a lighted sphere on both Earth and the Moon, where the moon is at a position to show distance, aka 90* angle relative to earth, between the image taken and the moon.
It is similar to Rohan Murphy who was "best of the best" for quite some time on ESPN. He had no legs, and was a very good wrestler in his weight class.
If you step back and think about it, anybody would be a great wrestler, having no legs (lower weight class), a far lower center of gravity (most impact moves require 200% effort to lift and then throw him), and his upper body mass would put him a few weight classes up, if he had legs. While I admire the guy for competing, and doing well, it seems as though his particular disability is an advantage in the sport.
But most of the prints that are taken are the standard ink and paper ones. I got questioned about my prints when I worked security (they would fingerprint everyone for the job) as they thought I was trying to throw off the system since I do have damaged finger prints. No one expects a series of perfectly parallel lines cutting basically perpendicular to the rest of the pattern in that area.
Surprisingly, features like this actually make it easier to pick out your prints vs. my prints. Until everyone starts doing this, that is.
When that ***hole in front of you is going the ****in speed limit, like the ****off that he probably, definitely is... you can ride his *** better, knowing you have an extra 10 feet of stop distance over him... Fucking Yankees fan...
Yes the movie. Because I am not particularly interested in the exact same portion of a culture that you are, does not make it any more or less valid of a statement.
It isn't a lack of awareness, it's a lack of practicality. Until the range/price are that of a mediocre sports car (say $40k), that's going to cost me more than buying something cheaper, faster, and paying for the gas, over the life of the car. Financially, is would be irresponsible.
This I agree with, for sure. Until price/charge time/distance limits are all improved upon, it just isn't a viable substitute. Oh, and the Tesla Roadster (first EV that came to mind producing decent numbers), is a bit out of most people's price range.
I have voiced this before, but what about those of us who have, enjoy, and can afford vehicles that don't get great fuel econ, go fast as hell, and are generally fun to drive? I can afford my premium fuel, I only get ~20mpg, and my car does what I like my car to do: handle well and go fast.
Why should I be forced into an EV, which takes a month and a half to hit 60mph? It kind of reminds me of iRobot, where he has the bike kept in a storage unit, and the girl is confused because it runs on... wait for it... gas!
As a lifelong Masshole myself, I'm going to have to agree... However, that is not to say I can't wait to defect to NH ASAP... This is not the straw that broke the camel's back, it is a long list... this just adds to it.
The backscatter... but now that you mention it... My wireless frequencies impact me negatively, when they aren't working correctly that is.
Honestly though, could it be used similarly to a sonogram, as mentioned a few days ago, with this tech? I am no acoustics or physics major, so its an honest question.
Given the idea of directing sound waves, if this could be done with an inaudible frequency, for imaging, would sound waves be able to penetrate clothing?
This is coming from someone who is not modest, so the scope part of the scope&grope doesn't bother me. Radiation, however, is one of my many, only weaknesses.

I'm not sure how to fit a water recycling system backflow into a car analogy just yet; but I'm sure we can give it a go.
Perhaps:
It would be akin to running your exhaust through your air vents?
Just a shot in the dark to help you out =D
Offtopic, I know, but I would have dropped out in pre-k if that were the case growing up.
End of story.
Give me peanut butter, or give me a GED!

Alright NASA, you have your task. Minions assemble!
If it had only made it higher and exploded, they would have lost 0 tonnes of supplies.
Damn you gravity. Damn you!
Had an employee in our ME office ask if I felt it... I asked if the fridge was void of alcohol again.
I'm not gonna lie, this is what came to mind...
Full Blown AIDS...
You would be incorrect with this assumption. It is part of the TSA's new initiative, to better humiliate travelers.
No orange goo bath = terrorist.

You clearly aren't "thinking of the children."

The upkeep is about the same though...
2011 Jeep Wrangler Base MSRP: $22,045
2011 Toytoa Prius Base MSRP: $22,125
Up front cost of a vehicle has nothing to do with MPG.
On a side note, if it snows more than one flake, he will be safe.
Yes the movie.

Yes it is a turbo, yes it is built, and yes we are on the same page. Not quite 725, too much on a DD for me!
Have one =D Bad winters up here though, so it is only practical for part of the year.
