There are no cornfields in Texas. Wheat and cotton fields sure, but no corn. It takes too much water to grow it.
The big problem in Oklahoma is tailgaters. It's not unusual for people to give less than six feet of clearance between themselves and the car in front of them. In Texas, you usually get at least seven or eight feet of clearance.
I think they're using the Anthrax, Sarin, and WMD distributions. Of course, those really don't exist in great numbers, and were only programs they told Saddam about to get funding.
In most places in the U.S. you're able to get a drivers license when you turn 16. Some states though require you to pass a driver's education program to get your license when you're under 18. (Once you're 18, its a free-for-all.)
I learned to drive in Northern Virginia. I had to repeat driver's ed. after failing the highway portion. (I did avoid driving into a freeway barricate, but just barely.)
In Texas and Oklahoma, where I have my current residences, it's more liberal. Driver's education is usually private, and it's not strictly required. You just have to pass the road test and written test to get your license, and have parental approval. Needless to say, people in Oklahoma drive like maniacs, with a very slight improvement once you cross into Texas.
It's been more entertaining than the last movie I saw...
Just remember that building space-worthy hardware is expensive, and launching it is more expensive. Also, keep in mind that Motorola blew through $3 billion putting up a low-earth-orbit constellation that almost no one uses. (Of course it did create my first job, post university.)
Resolution in cameras (both digital and film) is really determined by optics. By taking pictures of a smaller area and stitching them together, they can probably get better pics than most pros get with their high end Digital SLRs, because they've put more money into the optics than the sensor. Also, the higher density CCDs and CMOS sensors going into digital cameras now tend to be more prone to noise than some of the very high quality, lower density models.
Also, remember that the cameras in the rover had to go through a lot more testing than a typical consumer camera, so it's probably using three, four, or even five year old components in the imaging systems.
Let me echo the statements above about consulting with a real attorney.
What you might have to look at though is who is your real employer. If you're employed through a contract house, they might be required to provide you with whatever adaptive systems are needed to accomodate a disability. If you're a self employed, independant contracor, then you might be the one stuck with the extra costs.
Again, talk to a lawyer. Also, there are probably several advocacy groups you could contact for help.
So far, the virtual scientist has turned out plans for a bigger version of itself, a time machine, and this really cool cyborg who looks like the governor of California.
Some of these problems are probably caused by the same stupid voters who couldn't fill in the right bubble, or couldn't figure out how to punch a hole in a sheet of paper. Why did anyone think they'd do better sitting in front of a computer?
I edited the/etc/passwd file on an Sun system and locked out the super user. This wouldn't be a problem on a workstation, but this was on a Sunfire 3800 server which costs almost a quarter-million. It was also our workgroup server.
The fix is to crash the system, and reboot from a Solaris install CD, which will allow you to edit the file. It takes a long time to fsck multiple RAID volumes though.
Only after you get out of custody. They probably haven't even given Padilla paper, stamp or pen to write a letter since he's been incarcerated. He may be a terrorist, but it's improper not to give him a day in court to defend himself against the charges. He is a US citizen, and even though he may have been fighting against us, that can't be taken away without due process.
Yes, but every member of Congress, the courts, and the executive branch seems to be in on it. (With the possible exception of Ron Paul, who will probably be arrested sometime soon for "disrupting and speaking out against the protection of the state".) We can lead an anti-incumbancy movement in the next election, but we'd probably just vote in a bunch of members of the "other party" who will do exactly the same thing.
So, what are we left with? The greens, the Libertarians, and a few other third parties which might be better. Then again, they might not.
So, will a five year long string of $50 withdrawals from Bank of America ATM's all over the country attract their attention?
It bugs me that they've eroded the 4th ammendment even this much. There should be an expectation of privacy between you and your bank, just as there is between you and your doctor/lawyer/priest/gun dealer.
I'm all in favor of fighting terrorism, but I don't think John Aschroft & Co. having access to mine and my neighbors bank records will help any.
It seems to me that this theory is a very complex way of explaining away a very simple theory. I'll reserve judgement though until we can get some hard data from the near vicinity of a black hole/gravastar.
I think we need to start setting our goals in the U.S. a bit higher. When two countries who were lagging decades behind us technically and economically are about to send people to the moon, and we can't even keep our damn space shuttles flying, we've dropped the ball.
I have a great deal of respect for India. They've managed to establish freedom and democracy in a part of the world where it is sorely lacking, and they're making great strides in addressing their social and economic problems. I think we need to learn from their drive and ambition, or we're going to be passed up in the race toward the future.
Okay, how many birds are killed each year by common felines? I'd be willing to bet that the average outside cat bags at least one a year.
Also, my family shoots an average of about 100 ducks, dove, and turkeys per year between all of us. I'm not at all in favor of banning hunting either, (in fact, I participate with enthusiasm) but the 20000 over 20 years is a drop in the bucket compared to the average annual hunting take, even in a fairly liberal state like California.
Sorry, no ox-carts as that's cruel and exploitative to animals. Also, by living in caves, you would displace the native species living there, and hand tools would create a litter problem.

Yeah, that one little flaw that will kill you!

Not to attract too many flames, but it was also what MS's competitors were saying about IE, and to a lesser extent Windows.
No kidding. We had to pedal to keep the computers going.
You can always turn it off. Of course, you can't make the dumbass in the movie theater turn his off.

No kidding. I've been trying to get a good deal on a high quality 20mm off eBay for about two months now.

Anyone want to arrange a deal where we trade cheap cel-phones for high-flow toilets? I think we could work something out.

I guess that's one way to take care of the eventual dating problems.

And this is a bad thing because...?

Yes, but Pat Boone and William Shatner announced a joint tour. Do you think that's a serious enough sign?
