The cable is below ground. There are manholes every so often. Just crawl in a manhole and fire at the end of the cable as it enters the manhole. If the cable is encased in a pipe like most are I imagine the bullet could go quite a ways down the pipe ricocheting around tearing things up.
It's like if you talk about anything you need to include the perspective of every other country in the world. And then when you do, you get bashed for not getting it right. People are so f*cking sensitive!
At the moment the biggest problem with desalination plants is not just their high build cost, but their high operational cost.
When using technologies such as reverse osmosis the energy costs for pushing high volumes of water at high pressures through the membranes is prohibitive, not to mention the wear on the equipment it's self. In a traditional water treatment plant most of the filtering is done with gravity.
Why is it that EVERY time someone criticizes or is in anyway critical of a non-US entity the immediate response is to find the corresponding US group/organization/policy and trash it? Even when the original comment had NO mention of anything American.
It's pretty pathetic if your only defense of one thing is the defamation of another.
There are millions of people that have guns, but have no intentions of killing another person with them (hunting, marksmanship, plinking, just because). But I seriously doubt that there is a single person with a cruise missile that has no intention of ever killing some one with it.
I don't know if this is the same in all states/countries, but here in Charlotte, NC for you to pass your electrical inspection after you do any remodeling of office space you have to remove all abandoned wire. In Phase 1 of our remodeling they removed about 100lbs of wire, in the second phase contractor failed the inspection because of "excess abandoned wire in plenum". And in most cases when you move into a new office space you will remodel it to some extent, so in regions where the building code is up-to-date it really should not be a problem.
My point of view comes more from the one application I primarily use, that being AutoCAD. The font types are fixed in the drawing and the way they are rendered is not the same as with the rest of the fonts in Windows, or any OS for that matter.
This is not Art, everything in my "CAD world" is looked at from a purely utilitarian point of view. I often needed to see more of something to get a better understanding of it, and not need any extra detail. You should really take a look at AutoCAD sometime and see how different it is from most applications. I work with people who have been doing this for over 13 years and no one in my office sets their resolution over 1280x960. For AutoCAD users the resolution only changes your workspace size (toolbars, menus, etc.) The drawing looks the same at 1280x960 and 1960x1600 on a 21' monitor.
Drafting is about symbolically representing an object, not making an image of it, you don't need high resolutions for this kind of presentation.
And remember that you might be able to zoom the drawing but as your resolution goes up all the toolbars and such get way small, and that gets hard on the eyes after a while no matter how good your vision is.
I think this comes down to theory vs practice. While the same amount of data might be visible at the same resolution on 2 different size screens I would much prefer to look at the larger one all day on the larger one.
As a CAD tech I need as much real-estate as possible, and I am not overly concerned about the resolution. One of the biggest problems with laptops and engineering is that pulling up large drawings in AutoCAD on a 15" screen sucks. I use a 21" desktop and still need more space. I could raise the resolution, but It just gets hard to look at.
While the U.S. military already has WAY more power than necessary, this will give an unprecedented amount of power to people not quite politically willing to go the ICBM option.
Who needs a nuke when you can destroy the head of any government in the world with impunity?
I love my country (U.S.), but am saddened by disturbing trends in the government like this.
Being someone that installs and services auto-dialers I can say for a fact that if you get a marketing call on a cell phone it is a mistake. It is illegal for them to call your cell phone because of the very fact that it directly costs you money. I have not had a marketer call me in 2 years because I have only a cell phone. The people who make number lists for auto dialers cross-reference their list with a list of cell phone number blocks. Most of the time the mistakes are made by small in-house call centers.
Exactly! each WTC tower has 5.5 million square feet of office space. The Petronas towers only have 3.64 million square feet each. The WTC was truly an amazing structure probably never to be repeated.
Actually there is lots of concrete evidence for the "ramp" theory. Several construction ramps have been found next to ancient unfinished buildings in Egypt, and there are many drawings of slaves pulling large blocks on the insides of several tombs.
Think of the collective power.

Maybe it's not about making our job better. Maybe we could unionize and use our collective power to effect change in the world. We could shut the world down when ever we want. So when the leaders of the world go insane and try and start another war we could simply bring it all to a screaming halt!
Even so. It costs the company money that receives the envelope just because they have to take the time of receiving it and going though it. Just imagine the time that is wasted cleaning up an envelope of sand, or other such annoying material.
Maybe I am being to simplistic here, but all it takes to totally defeat these.VBS worms/virus attachments is to disassociate the.VBS extension from the wscript.exe application. I have done this to about 50 computers so far, and no adverse effects have been found. This totally stops any.VBS file from executing on the computer. It takes all of about 5 clicks of the mouse to do this.
Some may see this as a loss of functionality, but the other option is to run the risk that your users nuke their box, and maybe even your mail server.

It's amazing! No matter what the subject some how America gets bashed. I guess that's the price you pay for being on top.

In my line of work this would be very useful.

Actually at night when the demand is low the diesel engines will be near idle and almost silent.
