The rear doors are full sized and not wrapped around the rear wheels, add to that the shape of the trunk and you have a car that is extrodinarily long with seemingly no trunk.
While it was disturbing and disgusting, you'll also notice that "6" is rather disturbed about the whole thing as she's walking away. To me that said quite a bit about how the Cylons might not be just the cold and calculating ones we knew from the series in the 70s. She was curious, she didn't know. She tested. The results bothered her.
* = splat, just like ! = bang are "nicknames" used because people don't want to say the real name of the character. * = Asterisk, ! = Exclamation point. It's easier to say "splat", 1 syllable, than "asterisk", 3 syllables, and it's easier to say "bang", 1 syllable, than "exclamation point" or "exclamation", 5 or 4 syllables. # is commonly called 'pound' in the US, so the start of a script could be either "pound bang" or "hash bang". The "pound bang" sounds a bit more forceful.
Wow, I'm glad you're not responsible for purchasing software for my company. It's amazing how quickly people jump to conclusions. If there were no "Announcement" today, you'd probably still correctly believe that Nat had some personal matter that he had to deal with.
The article says "FineArch successfully completed the Ogg vorbis sytstem IP to run at 12 Mhz. This is about 1/6 of the clock speed required to decode Ogg Vorbis with a single CPU system."
Is that a typo? WHy would I want a chip that was 1/6 as fast as I needed?
Yes, that part bothered me as well. The only thing I can see that it did for the story was to instill into Thomas that he truly was a complete bastard and built on his unworthiness to have friends and to be able to enjoy this beautiful land he was in.
Better yet, how about the dual trilogy of 'Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever'.
I started reading the Gap series and figured that Donaldson must have only had one good idea for a book and that resulted in the 'Thomas Convenant' series, and all the rest of his writing was him under the delusion that he was a great writer. I hated the first book, and figured that Donaldson was a good writer, so I pushed myself 100 pages into the second book, and realized I was way wrong.
His only good books are the dual trilogies of 'The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, The Unbeliever' and 'The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever'. And they are awesome.
Why are you taking pictures of a site to use as evidence, prior to construction, and not having the affected people sign off on the pictures being valid prior to work being done?
As far as the "notion" of having the picture between all the other 31 on the negative strip... You must develop your own film, because any place that you'd take your pictures will cut them into strips of 4 frames. And it'd be pretty easy for you to go out with a *new* roll and get the picture you wanted (after the fact) to fit in that 4 frame range and swap it in for the original 4 frame strip.
In this way it would be just as easy to "forge" a picture on digital as on film. How about notarized polaroids?
The EZ-Rocket, a modified Long EZ plane piloted by retired Lt. Col. Dick Rutan, flew two flights in one day earlier this month. Rutan's brother Burt Rutan, of Scaled Composites, designed the Long EZ plane and is also developing a separate reusable vehicle as part of the $10 million X-Prize competition to put three people in space and return them safely.
Hmmmmm, Which side of the car is the steering wheel on in Oz? If it's on the right, then yes, I'd say the Coriolis effect has gone further than expected.
Yep, they seriously go counter-clockwise. At least in the U.S.A.. Most people tend to walk in the same manner that they drive, so people walk toward the right of the sidewalk, aisle, shopping mall, etc. People want to be closer to the store and not have to cut through people to get to the store. This results in counter-clockwise malling...
I have a Radio Shack Scientific calculator that I bought in 1987 that I still use. It certainly isn't up to the level of most of the low end HP calcs out now, but it's still going strong. I'd say it's been about 5 years since the last battery change as well. Note: I tend to never drop this calculator so maybe that's part of it's livelyhood.
High UID support probably hasn't even hit the FreeBSD radar yet... Makes FreeBSD non-usable by decent sized institutions that have a large number of users. Otherwise I'd actually be taking a look at it.
You're thinking of platinum. Pretty common for jewelry, and also expensive.
Sounds like a tremendous waste...

What a complete waste. REALLY. I've got an old Dell server running an oldish version of RedHat and Cyrus, serving email for about 1200 users. The machine is far from taxed right now. I would say that the whole setup cost about $4000 when first purchased.
We're replacing that setup with a newish Dell 1U server running a newer version of RedHat and a newer version of Cyrus and making tweaks along the way. With being a school that has promised email accounts for life to alumni, we're planning for growth, but the server still cost around $4000 plus the cost of the RAID for email data store.
Sorry, TANDEM systems run Tandem OS... Not at all Unix, and very not Unix'ish at all. It's a bastard of a system to get use to, but it works and works well. The Tandem hardware is also VERY awesome. Try taking a shotgun to another computer with the anticipation that it will still be running correctly afterwards.
And Brian turned spice into a method of teleportation, somehow. The spice just makes it possible for navigators to see the safe path to guide ships by, and then the Holtzmann technology actually takes them there. So why did that one twin kid whose name I forget COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR from the chamber he was in after he was saturated in spice? That's ridiculous!
If you actually read the book and paid attention, you'd realize that C'tair went into a room the same time as his brother D'Murr. D'Murr passed the test, and C'Tair passed out. By the time that C'Tair came to, he'd been cleaned up by the Guild and the precious melange that they'd surrounded him with had been cleaned up. Time had passed. Obviously D'Murr is no longer in the room. He didn't magically disappear, he'd passed the test and they moved him to another location. Later his brother wakes up and goes looking for him at he last place he remembers seeing him go, and of course he's no longer there.
As far as the "teleportation", you must have skimmed every single place they talked about this. There was no talk of "teleportation". The purpose of the spice was to "power the mind" of the navigator so that he could do the immense mathematical/prescience evaluations to choose the best path from location A to location B. It's the Holtzmann generators that do the actual movement of the heighliners and the guild navigator is exactly that, a navigator or pilot.
A heighliner travelling through folded space via the holtzmann generators would give the impression to outside viewers as "popping" out and "popping" in from nowhere.
Dune is "destroyed" at the end of Heretics of Dune. It's not quite explained exactly *how* destroyed Dune (Arrakis) is, but it certainly can no longer support life.
Maybe the weirding modules are complete ignored is because they weren't in the book. Not at all. If you watched the first mini-series (2000, not to be confused with the crappy movie from the 80's), you'll see the discussion of water conservation, it isn't blatant, smack in your face, but there's a hell of a lot of talk about it.
I find it funny that people are basing their complaints about the 2000 mini-series on the contents of the 80s movie and not the contents of the book(s)...
