I can do this by bending my wrist up at an angle, holding my arm vertically, and waving vigorously. The fingers slap down on the palm and it's one hand clapping. Of course it's not Zen at all; but it's a way of crushing Zen with practicality and approximation... which might be Zen after all. Who knows? I can only do it with my right hand though.
The issue here was that he did speak. Then didn't. Then did.
In other words, he spoke. The headline is sensationalism. Either you spoke or you didn't, and this sounds like speaking to me. Otherwise, he was "just a little bit pregnant".
Eliminating wings is not the way to acheive light weight
No, but it is the way to get something down a highway lane. Yes, you could fold the wings; but that makes the transition to and from flight mode more of a hassle.
It's obviously not a bicycle. It's still cool though, and here's why.
You could fly this as an ultralight aircraft. Whether or not you could street it is another matter; but getting rid of the wings is the first step. Having the propellers enclosed in a cage is nice too.
You wanted a flying car? OK, no go; but this could be a flying motorcycle . It could soar over regulatory hurdles.
We had absolute power (or close to it) and we know what that does. Here's a disturbing thought: What if the Internet is just unworkable? What if it's just too tempting for *any* caretaker to avoid using as a giant eavesdropping machine? What if people start opting out en masse?
Somewhere, a postal worker's ears just pricked up.
Total nonsense. Dunkin Donuts has much better coffee than Starbucks,
Well, all subjective of course. I've heard DD is good; but I'm not interested in Donuts or the fast-food atmosphere. Maybe I'll try them the next time I'm on the road and am going to sit in the car and drink it anyway.
Really, it's gotta have flavor though. Yeah, like everybody says 'bucks is burnt; but it's not dyed brown water. I think some people are kidding themselves over "the subtle flavor" of coffee where the barista ground up one bean and put some food coloring in there.
Given the choice I'm at a mom-n-pop that's got a good reputation. The coffee tends to have flavor without being burnt, the atmosphere isn't standardized according to corporate guidelines, and staff quickly elevates you to "regular" status with surprisingly few visits.
Nothing else around that looks good or cheap quick coffee at home? Starbucks and I make no apologies. Snobs can suck it.
You have no idea how good Starbucks is until you try the abomination known as Folgers Crystals. If anyone was wondering, yes , you really can tell the difference. I thought, "it might not be the best thing ever, but coffee is coffee". Nope. I lowered the level of the first cup half an inch with great effort. I tried to pretend that I could save money for like... a minute. Then I dumped it down the drain. I went back to the Italian Via from Starbucks. Bear in mind that I prefer Kenyan from my own machine-- but it's broken. The Kenyan costs me $0.50 to make myself. The Via is $1.00/cup, and the dreaded crystals were something like $2 for a 7-pack. If I can't find a new machine I like, it's Via or Tea.
Anyway, yeah. It's burnt. There are worse things. Far, far worse. The so-called coffee you get at fast-food places or from machines in waiting rooms. No, I'm not saying Starbucks is the best thing on the planet. I'm just saying you forget how truly dismal the state of affairs was in American coffee before they came along.
She'll make point five beyond the speed of light. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it
counts, kid. I've added some special modifications myself.
This isn't a rhetorical question. I really want to know. AFAIK in the US you have to have plans drawn before you build, so building time is actual building; but plans are sometimes changed even during building, right? How much do they fudge that to the point where "building" is actually planning and building? Now the WTC replacement took a really long time; but most of it was arguing.
Have the Chinese cut out all the arguing and decided that they won't modify plans during construction even if they should?
I'm inclined to think "no". If I had to come up with a plan to erect a skyscraper in 90 days, I'd design one prefab box that could be stacked N high, and I'd stack them. I'd base the "box" design on an entire previous building, just stronger. Having seen renderings of the proposed structure, it looks like that's what they did.
My comment was directed at dpidcoe (2606549) who appeared to be implying that your suggestion might lead to another HUAC and/or a repeat of McCarthyism. Interesting side note, the Wiki article explains that McCarthy was never actually a part of HUAC.
Anyway, I'm not interested in going down the UN rabbit hole discussion right now...
IMHO, full disclosure after a reasonable period of private disclosure is the responsible choice. Such a policy should be applied uniformly to all vendors regardless of relationship; although I suppose you could argue that if there's a partnership then it's quasi-internal. You might even be bound to nondisclosure by the partnership agreement.
Anyway, I digress. By keeping it private for a fixed time and then disclosing, you give the subject time to fix it before an exploit gets produced and you give them a motivation to fix it in a timely manner. That seems like the best compromise to me.
The whole point is to get people to use metro apps. to pay for metro apps. to get a cut of metro apps sales.
And I've been saying practically from day one on this whole Win-8 fiasco that if I wanted an Apple I'd already have one. To compete with Apple you have to offer something DIFFERENT that some customers will perceive as BETTER. Instead they decided to compete on their opponent's home field, using their opponent's rule book.
At some point, I'm not sure exactly when, a transition occurred in my attitude towards the so called "MSM" on TV. Instead of watching it for information, I watch it to see what the old guard is ignoring, unaware of, or doesn't want to talk about. The Arab Spring had to have gelled this for a lot of people. It seemed like three solid days of non-coverage before MSM on TV got dragged (one imagines kicking and screaming coming from somewhere) to cover it. Conspiracy or incompetance? Who knows? At some point, it'll be moot because news outlets that continue to be that sloppy will become irrelevant to the point of losing viewers, and when the ratings and ads go what's left to support these guys?
Almost anything is a nuclear reactor if you play with the definition. There are isotopes decaying in my thumb right now. It's a nuclear reactor. I seriously doubt these things are producing net energy beyond curiosity wattage. You can probably do some interesting betavoltaic stuff that would generate power at the cost of $50/milliwatt. If you tried to scale it up and generate any significant power, the Feds would eventually find you... probably. I've often wondered if anybody has set one up for "off grid" power. I think there's a 50-50 chance that one back-woods dude is powering his cabin on a huge parcel of land somwhere where it woudln't attract attention. Dangerous as all get-out though. It's so much easier just to use wood stoves, solar panels, etc.
No matter how many pixels you have, trendy web guys and even OS UI designers will design as if they don't exist. You'll have to move your mouse pointer to the side to make a menu appear, or click "More" to access more than six options on a horizontal menu. You'll probably have to drop your morning Danish and smudge the monitor with your fingers too.
If I were a judge, what would stop me from issuing a letter from the bench admonishing the agencies for issuing NSLs, and telling them to pound sand? Wouldn't it have just as much validity under our Constitutional framework. In fact, nevermind that. I hereby decree, by the authority of Emperor Norton I of the United States (May God rest his soul), that the agency shall pay me a tribute in the form of 4 oz. silver, 0.999 or finer, to be delivered at the Pete's coffee, 2600 Broadway in Redwood City, California, and to be accompanied by the beverage of my choice on our about June 10th, 2013 in the 2nd hour after noon. So be it ordered! So be it done!
Very useful link. It isn't obvious at first glance, but you can click at the bottom of the map to see the build-out timeline. I wonder what they're thinking targeting that route across the northern plains for Winter. I don't imagine there being too many road-trippers through there when it's brutally cold and subject to blizzards.
I wonder if their long-term plan includes franchising the stations. A lot of travel centers would kill to have the Tesla demographic hanging around with nothing to do for half an hour.
If only we had another department. A department that could bring justice to these rogue agencies. We could even have a separate one for each agency. For DoJ, We'd call it "The department of justice justice department". Of course it would only be a matter of time before it became corrupt. That's why it would be overseen by a department of justice justice department justice department. And after that? The Department of Turtles, which is all the way downtown.

And what about the sound of one hand clapping?

The intended implication was that people would go back to snail mail because it's harder to tamper with; not that some guy would go postal.

Aside from it being a longer route, I thought one of the reasons they decided not to dig there was volcanism.
