Weight! If he tips over the blades should be able to support their portion of the bikes' weight - the operator simply falls out. Fiberglass is rediculously easy to repair. An enclosure for the fan would probably increase the weight of the bike by 20% or more if it was at all load bearing.
Fuel weighs something like 5lbs per gallon... I don't think the lining would really be a very large consideration when you've got thousands of pounds of fuel in the wing(s). The tank/lining weight is such a small fraction of the weight of the wing it's almost within the margin of error.
"There's also risks with storing fuel within a composite structure. Should the fuel come into contact with the structure the epoxy will dissolve over time, weakening until failure."
...Why wouldn't they install the same style of sealed metal fuel tanks that they install in aluminum wings?
I think island cities like Manhattan, and other cities going through "manhattanization" like Miami, SF, Mexico City, Tokyo, Beijing Singapore Dubai etc, is really the first step. They're installing a giant roof over that city in... Kazakstan? Sure it's more horizontal than vertical, but that's a very large start.
All that spam you get in your snail mail mailbox? The stuff printed on cardstock (Have you seen this child? FREE Second medium pizza with purchase of Large Pizza, etc) is all printed on high volume laser printers, which, suprise suprise, print in CMYK. Most of the glossy stuff in tabloid format that you get, too. That stuff is never going away.
I taught myself photoshop on a pirated copy. They had an older version, and when I went to work for a trade magazine, they decided to upgrade to a newer version so that I could work more efficently, and bought copies for about half the people in the office so I could teach them, too.
How come we haven't seen this title yet? This would be HUGE. Smash Bros DS over Wifi? Heck yeah. At least give us Street Fighter II or Marvel vs. Capcom...
GMC sells trucks, not cars. 100% of GMC "cars" get 1000mpg, because they don't exist. Somehow I doubt GM (no C)averages better than 25mpg city for 90% of their cars. Particularly in the US.
...And the Lexus high end SUV, and the Corolla, and now their high end sedan with the limo option (600Lh ?) are all hybrid. In fact, the 600Lh only comes as a hybrid option.
Our old house was built in a neighborhood built in the 70's. My friend and I would have a lull in the conversation, and over the silence you could faintly hear other people talking. The volume would go up or down depending on (?) how many people were using the phone in the neighborhood at any one time (/?) but sometimes you could hear them fairly clearly. Amazing how people will talk about nothing for hours on end. This was back in 2001 or so.
I was thinking something similar. Just paint the ground green and lay 1/2" plate glass over top. Just hose it down once a week and go over it with a giant squegee. I know a couple of environmentalist kids out in Phoenix, AZ who have a lava rock (red, pourus rocks) front yard to conserve water. They have their trees and hedges trimmed each May and that's it.
I agree that there's solid evidence that people get more sick durring the winter. The reasoning of close quarters doesn't seem to suppor that though - otherwise nobody in Texas would get sick form october to may, and everyone would be reiculously sick from may through august - particularly august, where it's 100+ every day for the entire month and nobody spends more than 30 seconds outside.
Yeah? And how were you dressed? Amazing that they could tell you were americans based on which type of english accent you had. I was in Europe for three weeks, wore khakis and oxford shirts with leather shoes and was treated supurbly. The story I always tell is how we ate at a restuant down the street from the Paris opera house, were seated, got excellent service, and left (after leaving a giant tip for such great service)... on our way out we saw the same american girls waiting for a table that had been there since before we arrived (They were part of our travel group). They were also dressed in bright colors, speghetti straps and whatnot.
Appearance matters.
I hate to say it, but a muslim couple dressed in a durka and a turban might get the same (or worse) treatment in the deep south here in the US. Or an African American dressed to the nines in his rap-pimp outfit at an exclusive resturant.
This is slashdot, you have to accept that people are gonna nit-pick you.
If the door is unlocked, it's technically tresspassing. Trespassing can range from walking through someone's fenced off back yard to strolling through a mall after hours. Once there's a lock actively being used, it becomes breaking and entering. Tresspassing is considered a class B misdemeanor, while B&E is a more serious crime.
Just like your rich aunt is going to continue to rent Mercedes benzes, even though she can't afford to since her husband died. she's used to expensive flashy things and isn't going to change even if she needs to. Not that apple needs to change, but there's no reason to buy the toyota when renting the mercedes is still profitable. Plus apple would be assuming billions in debt and having to war directly against intel.
If this is the same editor I'm thinking of, he had a tendancy to add his own malicious commentary, or edit the user submitted part of the article to swing the conversation away from the original intent. This finally caught up with him when he finally crossed the line and he was removed once and for all. This only occured for 2-3 weeks before his termination, so it sounds like there was some stuff going on behind the scenes we'll never know about, and his commentary was just the issue bleeding through on to the front page.
Yeah. Way to link to a Dallas Observer article, with such classics as "I partied with the richest high schoolers in the nation, sorta under cover.... and discovered nothing!" and a front page article on that fake disease that people say they have sores with yarn looking things growing out of them? They're half a step up from the enquirer and batboy.... but just barely. They're wrtie whatever will get people to pick up their publication so they can sell more ads of hookers... i mean escort services. I'm soooo sure snapfish and walmart.com etc look at your pictures. More like "aw shit, more photos to send out" and BAM they go in the pre=addressed envelope and in the mail.
But yes, if you're printing off hard copies of your child porn, then a personal printer might be better... for the rest of the population, I think we're just fine letting other people see our photos before we get our hands on them. Just like we've always done.
I saved myself the intial $100+ cost of the photo printer and hassle of bagging my ink cartridges (you're kidding, right?? what a fucking hassle) by doing my photo printing online. Most photo sites offer free shipping, to boot. Of course, I don't print that many photos, because my photo archival is done on a computer, instead of a photo book, and there's a few rare photos in photo frames about my house.
and more abstractly, Ford/Lincon(/Mercury), Chevy/Caddilac(/Pontiac)... especially the truck/suv lines. Lincon has no unique vehicles in their line whatsoever.
In texas, you only need a justice of the peace to issue a search warrant (at his/her discretion). Strangely enough, the Justice of the Peace's home phone number is on the dash of every police car in texas. Not strangely enough, when a JoP is awakened in the middle of the night by a cop saying a driver wouldn't consent to a vehicle search, they usually award a search warrant.
When we moved our LJII cross-country, we dropped it on a corner on to the concrete from about 5' up. Didn't even crack the outer shell. Absolute tanks, those printers.
I'm still using a laserjet II printer that we picked up (used) from boeing surplus in 1992. It's giant and ugly as sin, but I've been printing off school reports with it since 3rd grade and I've only had to replace the toner cartridge twice in 15 years. Refurb'd cartridges are about $80 at Office Depot. Color is way overrated. The only time I've NEEDED color was for printing photos... which I have done online and mailed to me.
Hunh. Why would trained millitary personell leave their armies of their respective countries to live/fight/die for the shithole that is Iraq? I'll admit I haven't left the country since 2002, but from what I understand many (most) of the "combatants" are teenaged/early 20's, and haven't seen real combat, ever. Secondly, there's a HUGE difference between general army and properly trained army (i.e. Republican Guard). Somehow I doubt the properly trained millitary of the surrounding countries would choose to emigrate to Iraq.
These guys used everything from AK47s, sniper rifles, grenades, RPKs, to mortors and RPGs.
And?... These weapons are avalible to anyone on the black market, including somalia, darfur or any of 100 other conflict zones... it in no way makes them experts when using them.
Are you millitary, per chance? Even the media doesn't use terms like "combatants"; and I've never heard people calling troops "our guys", even my best friend who was a marine in iraq. From the vauge writing and unsubstansiated 'facts' you present, you sound an awful lot like a plant for the millitary.
I will, however, conceed that the M16 is a marginally better weapon, in that fine accuracy at >600 yards is better, and is lighter. However the two weapons are too close in functionality to claim that one gives a definate advantage over another in a war. The glass celing for assault rifle technology was reached in the 1950's and no amount of propoganda can change that.

What a waste. Do you print a lot of photos? If not, a laser printer is considerably cheaper in the long term.
