Sorry, I beg to differ. Here in Portland, Oregon I have had different luck with the lower priced theaters. The Kennedy School, Edgefield, Laurelhurst, Academy, Mission, and some others were not as you described at all. I never had problems with misbehaving kids, gum stuck on the seats, or excessive litter.
In fact, one of the so called dollar houses, the Avalon on Belmont, had a better sound system and better sound isolation between the auditoriums than the first run Lloyd on Multnomah.
I long for another 'Sound of Music', 'Evita', 'Jesus Christ Superstar', or 'West Side Story'.
Those were movies that I long for and I often watch from DVD's (For those of you here in Portland, Oregon; Movie Madness is a very wonderful resource).
Hollywood has seems to have lost that art as well.
This friend speaks my words. I found very little worthwhile to go to, with the exception of some very specialized documentaries such as 'We Were There', which is a documentary on AIDS in San Francisco in the 1980's.
That won't work either. As I said in my earlier comment, these are quite well armored and I dont' think that the flame temperature of a burning tire will be enough to destroy the innered of the camera system.
And don't forged the security surveillence camera that will record someone doing such an act.
I saw one dissassembled once when they were doing maintenance on it. The casing is 1/2 in steel. The glass porthole for the lens is 1/2 inch laminated glass; ie; two panes of glass sandwitching a pane of clear acrylic; similar to your windshield. The radar port (radome) is 1/2 inch plastic. It's transparent to the radar frequencies (I believe these guys use 2.5 ghz), but it cannot be broken. Just for the fun of it, I later found a piece of the same plastic but, just 1/4 inch thick. in a scrap pile at a community workshop that I belong to. I put that piece in a vice and tried to smash it with a hammer. No go.
No, I think a bullet; shotgun pellits; or especially a bat, would do nothing to these devices.
At Boeing Airplanes in Renton, Washington in 1980, there was one large room with 80 engineers.
Each engineer had a desk. No deviders or walls.
All of the desks faced the same direction.
At the front of the room was a raised platform (about 1 foot high). On that platform sat the managers.
Four engineers shared one phone. That phone was on a swing arm that would swing in a circle above the four desks.
Oh, and I forgot. Your desk had to be completely bare when you left in the afternoon. And you do not want to be caught reading a newspaper anytime after the whistle blows at 8 AM.
Not only did the sun rise on Christmas morning, my gifts, which were hand-made jackets that I made for my family, were still wearable and enjoyable despite whatever hacking went on.
Also, a friend's hand made chess board (inlaid wood) that was also a gift this Christmas still worked.
The doors of a hand-made maple and cherry toy box that I made for my sister for Christmas of 1999 (15 years ago) still work fine. No hacker was able to disable that gift.
Vocational shops (metal, wood, electrical, auto, etc) were never available in the private schools (Choate, Andover, Exiter, Milton, Tabor, etc). Even back in the 1960's.
The only shop class that Tabor Academy (the prep school that I went to) was repairing the sailboats that are used by the sailing team. Now, I have heard that was eliminated and they have a hired crew do it.
Boston is one of the highest cost of housing areas in the country. I had a tiny one room studio overlooking a back alley back in 1998 that cost $1300 per month (Compare that with 925 per month for a two bedroom apartment here in Portland, Oregon)
I walked a mile to school at about 7:30 in the morning; walked the same mile back home for lunch at about 11 AM (no cafeteria); walked that mile back to school for the afternoon classes which start at about 1:30 PM; and then walked that mile back home in the afternoon at 3:15 PM.
This is for elementary school in New England (Lincoln School in Winchester, Massachusetts, in the 1960's) All weather except for snow over 1 foot or so deep. Every school day.
No busses.
Now, please stop complaining. And get rid of any bus that takes students to school on 1 mile or less.

Folks:
What would happen if instead of trying to figure out where to send the waste to via rail; we would have a portable vitrification system that can be sent to different power plants via rail.
Vitrification (go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V... for the wikipedia article) could possible be implemented via a portable facility that can be transported by rail.
The portable vitrification facility would go from power plant to power plant and vitrify the waste to a glass like substance, which should be safer to handle and store.
If all you are railroading around the country is a vitrification plant; there should be no problem with local communities. All you are moving around is an electric (or gas) furnace and associated support equipment. If that derails or is involved in an accident, then it would be no worse than just a piece of machinery such as a lathe or miling machine falling off of a train.
Folks:
If I was a fed, I would be happy not to go there! That has got to be the most uncomfortable place to hold a conference like this. It's been over 100 degrees there lately. That is hot and uncomfortable!!
Can we please move this thing to a place that's cooler and more comfortable, like Seattle or Portland, Oregon???????

If you are in the Portland, Oregon area; may I please suggest you look at Free Geek for cables and stuff? Their thrift store has a pretty good selection of stuff and it's cheaper then BB or Amazon.
I buy the wall-warts that need for my lighted sculptures there.
Another place, but it requires more diligence in hunting, is the Goodwill outlet store; the one that us locals call 'The Bins'

The kids went to the Saturday Matene, which was another big event.
In fact, one of the so called dollar houses, the Avalon on Belmont, had a better sound system and better sound isolation between the auditoriums than the first run Lloyd on Multnomah.
Hold on! Are you sure? I just got back from seeing that last night here in Portland at the Bagdad on Hawthorne. Nine dollars.
The musicals of the 1950's through the 1970's.
I long for another 'Sound of Music', 'Evita', 'Jesus Christ Superstar', or 'West Side Story'.

No! I have been riding the MAX for 12 years. I have never been approached by any dealers of anything just because of my jacket.

Brilliant as in the beauty of the sparks? :)
Did they get permission from Sony? I thought those names are copyright/trademark?
But no cookie :(
It appears that all of Walmart's IP's are in one netblock.
Here is the link to the report:

I believe that all of their web stuff is on ackamai.
Perhaps should we as a society (American, World, whatever) should put Christmas as a concept away in the attic for a few centuries?
Also, a friend's hand made chess board (inlaid wood) that was also a gift this Christmas still worked.
The doors of a hand-made maple and cherry toy box that I made for my sister for Christmas of 1999 (15 years ago) still work fine. No hacker was able to disable that gift.
However, in my own personal life, I am just plain very old fashioned.
I made each family member a gortex rain jacket by hand, using a non-computerized sewing machine.
People say this is old fashioned, considering that I work with computers every day.
Well, now I can say to them that my gifts cannot be hacked or DDOS'd.

This person speaks my words as well. Thank you.
Are you with Godiva? If you are: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I cannot get enough of your chocolates!!!!
Thank you. This friend speaks for me. Don't take the darn picture!
