I've found the opposite. If you hang them up the right way they dry with creases in all the right places. I never owned an iron until I lived in an apartment and didn't have a backyard with a clothesline.
As long as it's not the Jersey Shore, I'm happy too.
Seriously though, that planet is far enough away that it may as well not exist for us yet. The Moon, Mars and Asteroids are all good shores for us right now.
I had the idea a while ago that if you had a balloon that could generate enough lift, it would still have upwards inertia when it hit the 'edge of the atmosphere' that it would continue up a little way and technically be in space.
(Yes I realize that this is so far beyond our current technology that it's barely worth thinking about.)
I was under the impression that people didn't actually have a 'right to privacy' in the US. I thought it was basically a gentleman's agreement that they usually do, but nothing actually written down in law.
Surely to apply this to a corporation would require that someone in government sat down and drew up the amendment to the constitution or whatever it takes to get a actual law written. Maybe this could turn out to be a good thing?
The last time this story came up (when they were only in Europe, not in the US) the vending machines were selling them at far greater than the market price. Purely for the gullible consumers, nothing an actual investor would want to touch with a 10-foot pole.
Will any flapping-wing aircraft ever be as efficient as a modern jumbo-jet for transporting large loads of cargo and people?
Unless we research it, how will we ever know?
I'm no aerospace engineer, and I'm not saying that a jet is the model of efficiency, but I don't see how a flappy wing mode of transport would be better.
My girlfriend has recently stopped getting her sister to watch her kid, after she found out that the sister was letting the kids watch Robot Chicken. There's bad parenting, and then there's simply not giving a flying fuck.
This is why I read/. I saw the headline, remembered trying to explain laser cooling to my Dad 10 years ago, and cam here to post that it was old news. The first thing I see however is your post telling me exactly what's going on. Thank you ClickOnThis for saving me time and frustration.
Indeed, there are a lot of different factors that you'd have to take into account. Also, as you said there are some different situations that could lead to different results. I would be hard work to try and figure it all out. Lucky for us, I found a page on the internet by people who have already worked it out, and come up with some conditions that must be fulfilled in order to see a reduction in carbon dioxide production.
+1 Informative, Opossums are indeed marsupials. Marsupials are mammals, hooray!
You seem to be having problems with the multiple levels there are of classification. At the highest level you have animal, plant etc. Then you have mammal, reptile, etc. Then you have marsupial, pachyderm, etc.
I'm not sure if it's epic, but you certainly fail.
I read your post to fast and thought you had a bold, insane and possibly racist raccoon on your porch. I guess any raccoon could be possibly racist couldn't it? It's not like you can talk to them to find out...

I think we need a further shore...

I think I'd better claw my eyes out now, just to be on the safe side.
Slashdot is a terrible news aggregating site. The only thing worst is the rest of them!

Not necessarily. What if you throw it up on the top of a building... Or off a cliff?
I just thought of the worst drinking game ever.
Well, for quickly picking out a street name I'd say the first one....
Cool, thanks for the clarification. I've seen this brought up on /. before but never got the full story.

I still don't get why they can't just make the new CFLs the same shape and size as the old incandescants. Is it really that hard?

I'd consider that to be a tautology.
A girl I work with told me that she never wears her seatbelt because she's afraid of getting trapped in her car. She's a safety engineer.
My girlfriend has recently stopped getting her sister to watch her kid, after she found out that the sister was letting the kids watch Robot Chicken. There's bad parenting, and then there's simply not giving a flying fuck.
I do like the fact that a shark is the icon for this story.

That'd be awesome!

It would have been nice if they'd also had a link to the actual paper.

How many accounts do you have, anyway?
Ah vigilantism. Is there any problem it can't solve?

I'm fairly certain you consumed a fair bit of either methanol or ethanol before writing that post.
