yeah yeah, thunder, lightning. either way, it's not how it looks, it's the atmopshere, which is a very romantically "charged" one. Success rate was 100%, not that i'm particularly suave, but because i'm not one to take my chances with a girl. More than three.
hunh. so maybe there was a bit of truth in it afterall. my dad mentioned somthing about sparkplug sparks being about the right wavelength to go through flesh while we were changing the sparkplugs on our old '75 chevy.
AMD 2000XP? hell, we heated our 600 sq ft apartment with an AMD K6-2 300 and sony 17" monitor (TV/seti@home/fileserver box) this past winter. 18-36 degrees F for two weeks, kept the apartment at 68-75* (when the a/c came on). i'm not kidding.
wow, i just realized this, and not to rag on how "far behind the technology curve you are" (i have a 550 mhz powerbook, not much faster), but your processor is actually an order of magnitude slower than the fastest intel chip out there. i'd probably still be using my celeron 400 if i hadn't ESD'd my moboard, it still worked great for 99% of what i did. i feel old. nice troll.
hell, i could have told you this. i live in a suburb just north of dallas, from about march-november we see thunder about once a week on average. on more than one occasion i'd convince a girl you could see the bones in your hand if you held it in front of you when lightning stuck.
of course, i never actually saw this happen, a couple of the girls i told this to believed it, but it's all psychosematic in the end. telling them my dad worked on the original mamogram/soft tissue imaging systems (he did, his name is on a couple of patents for the original mamogram) helped with my credibility considerably. a good, fairly original line that will get you far:)

when life hands you lemons, you make lemonade, right? well i've got aluminum cans... is there any signifigant amount of "boom" that would blow apart multiple aluminum cans expoxied together? or is the aluminum too thin? i've had pretty good experiences with the cans holding together when you slowly increase the pressure (toss one in the coals of a campfire fire and watch it expand, but never burst despite constant poking with sticks - boyscouts taught me much:-) )but the cans seem to explode when heated in a texas garage in 100 degree heat and then dropped accidentally from about 5 feet up.
'cause IBM already has developer seeds in the wild. i'm sure if apple hasn't decided on where it's going CPU-wise in the next 18 months, it's probably eyeballing that 970 processor sitting on the shelf IBM sent to them very closely right about now. it's not much of a strech to move from a G4 to the 970 in terms of technology, and by the time IBM announces final silicon apple will have been using a finalized version for circut design for the past month already and have some sort of product announcment in the next 2 months.
they did, until congress passed some sort of OBD law, updated for OBD II so that dealerships couldn't monopolize the auto repair industry with higher prices 'cause nobody else could diagnose them and thus fix them. obd meters have been out for a while, although most only had a 2 digit LCD display, error cod 9 meant your O2 sensor was reading abnormally low (air fuel mixture is low) or error code 68 meant your timing belt was wonky
I believe there was a MNG format that is essentially PNG with the ability to create animated PNGs. it unfortunately came out about 6 months after PNG was rushed out the door, as a result people already pissed all over PNG and refused to hear about MNG format. it's out there, and it's useable.
maybe friction was a bad use of the term....if this helps, part uses it on his bike at about 4 am when he has to go to the school to help principal skinner with his astronomy, where he discovers the comet that is headed straight for springfield.
anyways, so you have your bike, front wheel held in there by the fork. it spins in a clockwise motion (as viewed from the right side of the bike) as you go forward down a hill. attached to the fork, a small rubber wheel sits perched about half an inch above the actual bike wheel, and has a lever that can push and hold this small wheel against the bike wheel. the friction between the small wheel and bike wheel causes the small wheel to rotate, which turns a small electric generator also attached to the fork. the whole aparatus weighs about and is about the size of three decks of cards/iPods.
hell, you could probably put one of those bike headlights that use the friction of the front wheel to power it, the ones you got for $10 at the hardware store when you were a kid, to trickle charge your battery.... or somthing. come to think of it, you'd be inside (w/wall plugs), but might work well for power outages and whatnot. those lightbulbs probably use between 10-20 watts, so that would probably halve the power consumption, theroretically...
gah. this is why we need a "-1, incorrect" mod. to mod posts like the parent (mine) down into oblivion, and then filter out all the incorret posts. oh well. my apologies for spreading misinformation.
The gene encodes an enzyme in strawberry plants that helps to convert a protein called D-galacturonic acid to vitamin C.
going back to high school chemistry, vitamin C is citric acid, aka the slightly sour stuff in oranges, and more potent in lemons/lemon juice. stawberries always appealed to me because of their sweetness, not their acridness:(
kudos for doublechecking permission before slashdotting a site that is definately gonna get slammed, come morning. i know you got flamed last time for that barcode site, and it's good to see you're alerting people in advance this time.
in other news, interesting short film, i really liked the various music they played on it. did anyone by any chance catch the piano bit and know who wrote/composed/arranged it by any chance? it almost sounded like somthing out of the thomas crown affair.
i don't see a problem with this. if there are in show product placements, that would cut out the commercials, and thus bring the show down to only 20 minutes, letting me see a full three shows in an hour, which is alot more efficent of my time.
interesting points you bring up. they could probably even put in 1/4" steel plating on the lower half of the walls in the "box" for "armor" and beef up the shocks or somthing. delivery/repair trucks usually sport a chevy 350 already, with plenty of hp
i'll try not to be a troll here, i'm really trying.
umm what the fuck? we went from a $500 40 hp, 4wd jeep that seemed to do a pretty damn good job of transporting 4 humans up a 40 degree incline with no problem. they are inherently simple, and weigh nothing. with today's design/production technology, they'd weigh less and cary more, and probably be stackable.
enter the 1980's. we get $100,000 hummers. they hold exactly the same number of people, don't accelerate any faster, and aren't any better at navigating the offroad. they also weigh two tons.
i like the idea of mass producing an F-250/350 for certian needs, like a portable rocket launcher, but you do not need 6-10 wheeled F-550's that cost 100,000 a piece. there's no reason the truck needs more than 200 hp, and there's no reason why you can't use slightly beefed up suspension parts for this sort of job out of the ford/chevy/dodge parts box to cut prices down to the 12,000-20,000 price range. i can understand the price inflating with a bed-mounted rocket launcher, but the initial cost of the chassis is unbelivably absurd. what ever happened tt back to basics?

none, so far. i heard it's a life changing experience though.

they have serial -> ps/2 adapters, and i think windows will boot using a serial mouse, at least 98 did. you might want to give the old bugger a try.
sounds more like they bought quality hardware for cheap to me. more power to them if they recycled last year's monitors and the old network cards

i'd wager that $500 translates into somthing like 5,000-15,000 per vehicle, at the most.
