Limited use, really. Sure, the video makes it look great, but it has a much wider wheelbase than your typical ATV (more like one of those utility side-by-side vehicles) and looks like it doesn't have great ground clearance.
If you can find any name that's not related to murdering your wife, go for it.
Take a page out of the Android playbook only instead of naming the releases after something sweet, name them after a man convicted of murdering his wife.
No point. I mean Henry Ford was an anti-Semitic Nazi sympathizer, but they didn't change the company name because of that. Need to separate the person from the product.
Muslim hordes invaded Europe way back when. Then the Europeans came to America. So this was just payback. Come to it, the Egyptians invaded N. Africa and the Mid-East. The people became Muslims and we know where that led.
How far back does one go before the argument is specious? Is there a magic number of years, generations?
When he was asked to confrim that his pressure suite is inflating he just sat there and didn't respond (nothing to do apparently). Kittinger asked repeatedly and only then after some secondes (20, 30?) he got an answer.
Besides the real trick is not building the gadgets, it's getting them in place in a secure location. I challenge one of you guys to buy any of those 'bugs' and get the in place at even a low security national security site, like an embassy office or something. Try it.
Can you post from Wornwood Whatchacallit?
Considering I haven't got the slightest idea what you're talking about, probably not.
If you get caught placing a 'bug' in a low security national security site, like an embassy office, or even trying, then you could go to a prison like (yes I'm guessing which one) Wormwood Scrubs.
Yes, you could buy a crapton of batteries, but most people don't want to carry a crapton of batteries with them, because the point of a laptop is usually to be light, and easy to carry. Also, I'm not quite sure how you got that the equivalent CPU costs that much more, but the price difference isn't really that big.
You go somewhere and you overhear "crapton's coming."
Down 6% in Q1, down 11% in Q2, and they were expected to be down 1% in Q3... instead they were down 10%.
Meanwhile they're not competeing in servers or smartphones, the PC market is shit and it isn't looking like it's going to get any better. Laptops are the one place they're strong, and nobody is optimistic on laptop sales.
It's bleak over there, and believe it or not, they've got a pretty good idea of just how bleak it is.
Basically it seems that this would bar any company in California (and much of Canada) from entering this raffle. It is as illegal to take part in an unregistered raffle as it is to run one.
None of that stuff got anything on stuff created by the real OTS or whatever the MI6 version is called.

There is a reason it looks like 2001: A Space Odyssey.
That movie was based upon reality due to the fact that the director, Stanley Kubrick, wanted to portray something realistic considering that there were real spacecraft going to real places (like the Moon) at the time he was making and released the film. Most other "science fiction" movies gloss over this reality in a horrible way. The only time you get something action packed is when something goes horribly wrong... and perhaps at launch when huge amounts of energy are being released.
Then again do you enjoy watching videos of your father parking his car in the driveway?
Like parking your car in your garage... at eighty miles per hour.
Whats with the discrimination against the mentally ill?
I mean what if I did go on a killing spree? Wouldn't it be better that I do it on Mars where I only have two or three possible victims, rather than on Earth where I may have dozens?
You want a technical solution that shields the pilots/airborne vehicle from lasers? That would be technically impossible.
Impossible? Almost all of the cases in question have involved handheld 532nm green lasers from a substantial distance, so all you really need to do is mix up a coating to apply to the windows that contains the same dye that laser safety goggles use. The filtering wouldn't have to be particularly strong to effectively eliminate the green light, resulting in a slight orangeish tint to the aircraft windows. Alternately, instead of coating the windows you could make filters from plastic sheets that attach to the windows at night using Velcro or some other means. It's not a difficult problem to solve.
Dichroic filters would perform well enough for this; however, it would be more practical to make glasses than tinted windows.

Solution: send your kids to a private school. Now it is up to the parents to make sure the kid is in school so they get their money's worth.
Education is the only commodity where you put your money down, and dare them to give you your money's worth.

Or water clearance.

How do you decode that?

The Mummy did it.

Briefly time became two dimensional.
A journalist filter is like an event horizon, in that information cannot escape once it enters. Which is too bad.
At last; media explained.

I guess sharks with frikin lasers attached to their heads are also sold separately?
They keep sinking the wood boats. Fishing is dangerous.
Remember folks, visiting New "Middle Earth" Zealand is all fun and games until a Ringwraith shows up in your hotel room.
And gets on your coins.
I'm just glad New Zealand finally found an industry more lucrative than sheep herding.
Are there sheep on their coinage?
...naming his son Michael Regent of Sealand
Kind of an odd name. His middle name is Regent? And can you change the name of your son once he is an adult? Weird.
Now he is Michael King of Sealand.
The commemorative coins will be minted shortly.
So the alternate universe is Soviet Russia?
Not any longer.
Like parking your car in your garage ... at eighty miles per hour.
More like parking your car in a garage that's moving at 80 miles per hour while driving at 80.05 miles per hour.
Your post is excellent; mine is wrong.

Toes with toes. It is right to stamp out mutants.
Sounds like a bumper crop of toe jam, and podiatry bills.

Think of the greater good.
"God told me to." From the next cell "I did not."
It's really high time that they went after Mr. Ed, before the reruns stop airing at least.
And Flipper commited suicide.
Practicality aside, it'd be much easier to get the FCC to certify a piece of protective eyewear than a modification to the aircraft.
That sounds practical to me.
