He said he believes that a small government is good. He didn't go on to outline his reasons for believing so, and least of all did he say "I likes me a small guberment, you know, just because."
I googled and found the G-Wiz to weigh 665kg, that is 1460 lbs. The Ariel Atom weighs in at 456kg, a little over a thousand pounds. You get a car that is distinctly lighter than the electric car, and it's probably safer judging by the crash test photos on your page. Still, the Atom needs to be licensed just like any other car.
Of course, the reason behind this is undoubtedly the fact that the G-Wiz tops out at 45mph and that it probably takes a decade or so to approach that blistering speed. Naturally, I'm not comparing the two vehicles for the same purpose or market, I'm simply saying that weight is probably less of a factor than speed in its (dis)qualification as a regular car.
Well, I think we've finally arrived at the crux of the matter: OOXML is the embodiment of all the evil thetans in the galaxy--and they all have cooties.
If it is a political leak, it's a leak with monumentally stupid reasoning and timing.
You seem to forget that the current administration is monumentally stupid and has timing which is so incredibly poor that it begins to look deliberate. On the other side, maybe they're trying to show that they can do something right.
And/or they are trying to divert public attention from something else by occupying media time with a situation which is perceived by the public to be fundamentally extremely dangerous, whilst there is realistically no risk to anyone, therefore letting the other situation fly under the radar; that's a possibility I didn't think of last night. In other words, cure a headache by stomping on the foot. If there's anything interesting going on in the middle east (or Washington) they'd rather not enter the mob consciousness, it would seem to be the most plausible explanation for this fiasco--and at the same time, completely unsurprising to me.
I'm with you on this one. I was listening to the news earlier and I was thinking the exact same thing.
However, I seriously doubt that nuclear weapons are staged in such a way, so it doesn't make sense that an officer would be worried about the use of the weapons. Secondly, I doubt that it's so easy to get a nuke on a plane that one can mistake a rack of nukes for a rack of anything else, so it was probably loaded by order; however, a hypothetical officer may be worried about leadership decisions that led the bombs to be put on the plan, and thought that the only way around the situation was to go to the press, otherwise an unsuitable leader would remain in a position of power, and the incident would be swept under the Air Force rug. That's plausible assessment.
This really does smell more like a political leak. The thing that bothers me most is that I'm not sure what end it's supposed to achieve.
Yeah, you know, when things are expected to be used in missions with very high radiation potential, it's not uncommon to find stuff like this. It's undoubtedly been hardened to shit against ionizing and electromagnetic radiation, so that it does not FUBAR at a crucial moment. Hell, the Hubble telescope ran on a 386 for nearly ten years, and people called it state of the art for a long time. It wasn't till 1999 when it was upgraded to a blisteringly fast...486!
Yeah, but why the fuck would you do that if there's a program that does an equally good job, without any manual intervention? That's like doing a Riemann sum of a simple equation (with stupidly small slices, to boot) when you have perfectly good knowledge of calculus. I have better things to spend my time on than futzing around with the file system and windows registry trying to root out any number of garbageware programs someone else was ignorant enough to install.
However, their version numbers have no connection with how much the product has changed/improved. If they release every 6 months, then they go up a major version number every year, regardless of if anything has actually changed.
Frankly, that's what a changelog is for, most open source projects don't do a good job of working this way. Furthermore, the fact that a newer release has a higher number doesn't necessarily suggest that the software has become better in some way. One would hope this to be the case, but it's not always the truth.
Huh, I thought memory stick was Sony's pride and joy. Don't PSPs use it as well? What on Earth could they be using besides one of the current flavors of memory stick?
Why not have a single server, and have the client heads netboot off of the server after every flight? That way, it makes it super simple to push updates, kills the chance of having people permanently mess with the systems, and everyone is happy.
Yeah, but then you'd have cabbies pretending like they were in the Cannonball Run. Reminds me of this cab ride I had between Detroit and Toronto--that crazy Iranian driver must have been a former fighter pilot, I swear.
Our dear Imam (referring to Ayatollah Khomeini) said that the occupying regime must be wiped off the map and this was a very wise statement. We cannot compromise over the issue of Palestine. Is it possible to create a new front in the heart of an old front. This would be a defeat and whoever accepts the legitimacy of this regime has in fact, signed the defeat of the Islamic world. Our dear Imam targeted the heart of the world oppressor in his struggle, meaning the occupying regime. I have no doubt that the new wave that has started in Palestine, and we witness it in the Islamic world too, will eliminate this disgraceful stain from the Islamic world. But we must be aware of tricks.
Now, do I think he's insane? Not really. I think he's crazy--like a fox. He's an expert manipulator, rhetorically and otherwise. That is also my opinion of Senior Bush, but I think dubya is much a better actor; it really does take a reasonably intelligent person to act like a fool, and pull it off--he's dumb, like a fox in other words. Anyway, have you ever watched Ahmadinejad's speeches and interviews? My knowledge of Farsi is pretty weak, but it's very clear that he picks and choses his words very carefully, and very deliberately. He's one of those guys who can say one thing very precisely, and yet have it mean something else entirely.
Do I think he's likely to engage any country, if and when they get their nuclear program running? No. Ahmadinejad is too smart for that. He knows he has a snowball's chance of hell in any conflict with a Western coalition, and that's exactly what a first party action against Israel would turn into, and quickly. Nukes, however, are a great bargaining chip. If anything, I see North Korea as a greater threat to world wide stability.
I echo that, but I would like to add that if some military outfit is modifying GPL code to make open source UAVs deliver death from above, I sure hope they redistribute the changes because I want some of that shit.
Persian culture, by way of contrast, produced the world's first assertion and declaration of Human Rights, and is responsible for the foundation of modern mathematics.
While I somewhat agree with that sentiment, we need to recognize that Iran isn't exactly the same Persia that we know and love. A lot has changed over the years. Persia finally succumbed to Islam; around 90% of Iranians follow the various Islamic faiths, and there are very few Zoroastrians hanging around. Sure, ethnically, the people are mostly the same as they were during the Empire years, but to say that culture is still pervasive? I don't know about that. Also, you can't berate people who follow the other Abrahamic religions, and then praise a modern country filled with people who also follow an (in my eye) equally stupid, but somewhat different Abrahamic religion. What sense does that make?
I've no doubt that the Iranian people are generally, and individually, great people; still, they're under the influence of assholes. It's no different than the US. Their government lies, our government lies, their leader has a screw loose, our leader has to have a screw loose-and unfortunately he has control over the bombs. Israel is the same way. It would be nice, however, if Ahmadinejad didn't periodically call for the elimination of Israel. Instead of defusing the situation, all they do is throw another stick of dynamite on the pile, and it doesn't further their cause in the international arena.
You're not supposed to undo the plumbing, silly. That's why these vehicles of mass destruction were supposed to be driven, three astride, by a crack team of Elite Guard Stunt Drivers!
Hey, that's a great idea. I sure know I could use an effervescent laser after downing a big smothered beef and bean burrito with extra beans. This'll be the best invention since, well, smothered beef and bean burritos!
Gas turbines are internal combustion engines as well, and it's not so much that they're efficient if they stay only one speed, it's that they're only efficient at their operating RPM; at low RPM they do not generate a high enough compression ratio to efficiently burn the fuel air mixture. Like the article said, the power is generated by a diesel engine for the purposes of this drive train.
All of the other stuff aside, every router I've seen has the option to start DHCP leasing at a certain address. For home and small office, you can set it at 192.168.1.10 or similar, the router takes 192.168.1.1, and you have nine left over IPs for static computers, and the rest of the subnet for dynamic clients, which is more than plenty for even the bigger, smallish office. Then you can simply set your servers' IP's manually, and have it update only DNS servers automatically via DHCP, or if your ISP's servers don't change often, like most, you can set them manually as well. Of course, if your router can't do it, that's the breaks.
You know, I've seen some pretty good instructional DVDs around, but I don't remember the name. You might try visiting a welding supply--one of those places where where people who weld for a living go--if they're not ecstatic at the prospect of selling you equipment and supplies, at the expense of giving you some Q/A time and some help, they're not motivated enough--find their competition. You also might find something interesting online. One thing, pure Argon is not used for ferrous materials. You'll want an 80/20 or 75/25 Argon/CO2 mixture, and keep the self-shielding wire away from sheet metal; it's too uncontrollable, use it on thicker stuff.
Also, I don't know what processes you're ultimately interested in doing, but there are machines that support multiprocess welding, but the price goes up, and you'll have to get an external wire feeder. For car stuff one of the basic MIG machines can be had for around $800, it'll plug into a 20A 110V circuit and do sheet metal beautifully--plus it's good that you can take it about anywhere you want. I have a Millermatic 140 that's basically always setup to do sheetmetal, even if it can do some bigger stuff. I think the HomeDepot/Lowes machines are less enabled versions of the basic Miller/Lincoln machines, so they're probably okay if less versitile. Do get yourself a decent helmet, though. You don't want to skimp out on a helmet if you go the auto-darken lens route. Having burned eyes is not a fun thing.
It's not so hard. Get some scrap material and practice, practice, practice. You'll learn how it's supposed to feel, look, sound, smell quick enough. If I can do it, just about anyone can.
So it is realistic to hear loud explosions in space from abroad another vessel, when there is no air to propagate the sound?
So, you don't think various high velocity particles impacting a ship's hull, as a result of the partial vaporization of another nearby ship (say approximately the same mass as a modern aircraft carrier) would create an observable sound? Sure, it might not sound like an explosion in our atmosphere as they often depict, but it's going to make sound if you're close. Likewise with energy weapons fire imparting vibrations into the hull.
Anyway, it's fiction. Quitcherbitchin and get over it. Your kind is even worse than the nerds who dearly love the shows and host conventions and wear costumes and shit--at least they're sociable.
At the very least, if a closed company opens something up, it's a step in the right direction--possibly for the company, and certainly for the community. If a company that oversees an open project decides to close it, it's a step in the wrong direction for the community, and a step in the right direction for the profits of the company. I for one, would be more than a little resentful if I contributed a significant amount of code to some random project and had to sign my copyright over so I could make the program better for everyone; then the new copyright owner decides to license the whole thing to someone under a different, closed license. However, those are the risks when you give up your copyrights.
The same feelings can't be felt in the other direction. Is some paid programmer going to be upset that his company opened his code? Probably not. He got paid. What's to complain about? However, if someone hands you a cookie then later says you can't eat the cookie, excepting this little chunk of chocolate in the corner, you're not going to be a happy camper.

He said he believes that a small government is good. He didn't go on to outline his reasons for believing so, and least of all did he say "I likes me a small guberment, you know, just because."
I googled and found the G-Wiz to weigh 665kg, that is 1460 lbs. The Ariel Atom weighs in at 456kg, a little over a thousand pounds. You get a car that is distinctly lighter than the electric car, and it's probably safer judging by the crash test photos on your page. Still, the Atom needs to be licensed just like any other car.
Of course, the reason behind this is undoubtedly the fact that the G-Wiz tops out at 45mph and that it probably takes a decade or so to approach that blistering speed.

Personally, I'd much rather have my net neutrality enforced by pirates. Arrr.

Now, I realize that "wiped off the map" could have possibly been misinterpreted (like he and the Iranian government says, maybe he meant he wished the leadership would go away or something) as it was translated into English, but I don't believe it, especially because of the fact that he also thinks the holocaust is a myth invented by the Jews so everyone else would feel bad for them, and then steal territory from the Arabs to give to the Jews, so they could make a country out of it., as well as his other anti-Israel one liners and full blown rants.
