How do pilots know they're being lased (is that a word?) Are they noticing a scintillating light in the cockpit or do they have detection technology? If they have technical means, how long have they had it? I mean, maybe they were always being targeted before but just didn't know it.
And regarding targeting--everyone seems to think it's so hard--what if you scaned the lazer over a grid around the plane? It'd be hard to miss, though I doubt the resulting brief flash would hurt anyone.
Finally, would some guy on the ground pointing a laser at a plane be able to see when he hit it?
I've been using their full size keyboard and mouse with Fedora for a year. They're just USB devices to Linux. They reduce clutter and are great for conference rooms because they're easy to pass around between speakers. Make sure you have plenty of batteries though.
Though they're mostly full of crap, the postmodernists have a point: no one is objective. Not in the metaphysical sense anyway. Only God knows absolutly; we see through a glass darkly. Better if we know at least that much.
So, give me honest left wing and right wing bias. We're going to get the bias anyway, might as well be straightforward about it. If some reporter wants to talk to wackos, that's fine. If it's worth bothering with I'll check Slashdot to find out the truth. *Cough*.
They've killed the monster and they're together in a car and Dash is going on and on about how this is BEST Vacation EVER! and Elasta-Girl is trying to listen to phone messages from the baby sitter who is getting more and more freaked out by Jack Jack?
That was great.
Seriously, I don't think I've seen parenthood taken from the parents' perspective in a kids' movie before. The story is a true fantasy--obviously fantasy but true in Tolkien's sense. It's got eucastrophe too.
I've been looking to upgrade my tin-foil hat for some time now. I've tried double and tripple layers and it's just made my massive brain that much more sensitive to the rays they beem at you. (They pretend to be broadcasting from Jupiter but I know better.) Isn't it time for some technological development in the personal defense against mind control space? Wouldn't it be cool if we had some kind of active counter measures?
Think of it as an opinion poll of people interested enough to put up some bucks. Even if they're mostly fools they will know more as a group than any random sample of idiots.
It will always need maintenance no matter what materials you use. The big thing would seem to be to make it valuable enough that it will always be worth maintaining.
If it's beautiful, functional and inexpensive enough to maintain, it will last. But those qualities are subject to fashion which you can't control. It won't last long if the neighborhood goes to seed. It won't last long if the neighborhood goes too far the other way either--the land will become too valuable not to use for a mansion, a mall, a park or something.
Mangling a quote from C.S. Lewis, the more up-to-date it is the sooner it will be dated.
We could just let the people with the most free time govern us, or the ones with the funniest sigs. Or how about a lottery? (Anyone ever read Chesterton's Napoleon of Notting Hill?)
The current system sure beats having the bloodiest minded of us rule.

I've noticed that too--Risk loosers get really upset. Stratego is a hoot.

Not sure what the hell "la la da ta bwa bwa" means.
It means "I'll have what the dog is having."
I'm just guessing but couldn't you get more energy out of the critter by setting it on fire?
Bwah ha ha ha. Snork.
The pictures show a penny welded onto a brick. If you hold your mouth right you can see the head of a bearded bald guy wearing sunglasses.
I feel like a walking honeypot.
Hmm, two posts about polite Fry's guys telling the truth. Maybe it's not such a bad place.
Thanks!

Isn't that more of a "Claimer" in this case? Interesting stuff though.
Girls are people too, k?
Man, that is such a hard lesson to learn. I've got three daughters and I'm just starting to catch on.

That word--I don't think it means what you think it means.
