I didn't take the pill yet, so I don't have the energy to RTFA.. but.. can someone support my laziness and tell me if this somehow gets around the problem of making the heart grow in size so that it no longer fits in the chamber, thus causing more stress on the heart, thus leading to that state known as 'death'?
Strange but my math shows a sphere with radius.75 meters to have a volume of about 1.75 cubic meter. You'd need a radius of around 1.39 to achieve 11 cubic meters...
So, a baloon almost 9 feet across. Not so small. Not huge either. But then the original poster said a house needs 5000W.. that's an incredible amount. Cut that in half, and you can cut your baloon in half too. Just don't do it while it's full!
You are familiar with the concept that some crimes are worse than others and are punished differently because of this? I.E. "petty theft" carries a lesser punishment than "premeditated murder".
Both are crimes and both should have punishment. But I never said 'some laws don't really matter.'
Seriously, what is it with Slashdot today? Did the morons just crawl out from under their rocks and jump up on their high horses?
I am sick and tired of people like you who put words into other people's mouths and pretend like that's what the other person said. You're so annoying. How do I get rid of you? Seriously, tell me how. That would make life so much better.
I don't think he should go without prosecution. (Although the timing is suspect...) He is subject to the same laws we all are, and he deserves to be prosecuted for alleged crimes he may have committed. What I hope though is that he is acquitted and shown to be innocent. That is the situation in which I said it will be in the interest of the greater good and mostly for the reason I gave at the end of my original post.
As far as any Democrat actually pushing for development of our resources, such as ANWR or the Pebble Mine, you can bet your ass that will not happen. Because they all think doing so will hurt the environment.
However.. adherence to environmental regulations is something the oil companies and mining companies have really shown they can be good at now. They are good. Exxon's spill was a long time ago and since then there have been great strides towards being 'green' and developing our resources safely and cleanly...
You should work on your reading comprehension. I never said guilt doesn't matter. I never said removing corruption doesn't matter. In fact, I said they DO matter.
BTW, just so you can try again, here is what I said:
Our state certainly needs to rid itself of corruption.
He should of course take the blame for his actions.
And regarding 'pork barrel projects' maybe you should read my last paragraph as to why I think this is a bad thing. It's the idea of a well-balanced government, with checks and balances, instead of a one-sided government. It's called democracy, you should try it sometime.
First let me get this out of the way: Anchorage Daily News is horrible. They routinely run stories with huge problems, missing information, and always a liberal slant.
OK... to the real issue here: Ted Stevens MIGHT be convicted. Until then he is innocent until proven guilty. And it would really benefit the state if he were to be acquitted. He might not be the most technologically savvy senator in the USA but he certainly has done a great deal for the state, much more than any other politician. There is a great fear that nobody else (the up-and-comer Mark Begich for example) will be able to pull the kind of strings in Washington that Stevens was able to pull -- at least not for decades.
Our state certainly needs to rid itself of corruption. If Stevens is convicted it will be a sad day. What he is charged with is so petty compared to the greater good he has done that will be a crying shame. And entirely his fault. He should of course take the blame for his actions. But that doesn't change the fact that it will hurt the state MORE if he is convicted.
The main damage won't come from loss of Stevens, as he is 84 and wouldn't have been in his seat much longer anyway. Instead, the damage comes from the hurt this does to the Republican party in Alaska. You know, the people who want to explore and develop our natural resources like oil, gold and copper. Now that is unlikely to happen. The Liberals are going to run wild for a time, unchecked... we'll see how it all plays out in the end. I just hope it isn't too bad. Liberals AND Republicans both need to keep each other in check.
I can see it now.. You're playing Halo 11 and another player yells "YOU ARE SUCH A CHEATER! AIMBOT! AIMBOT! ARASHJHFD!"
Calmy, cool, you say "No sir. I use a MOUSE."
But seriously, it's like comparing FPS playing on a console controller to FPS playing with a keyboard and mouse. Equally skilled PC players win. Hands down. Don't fucking argue with me either, cuz I'm right.
It's like a gallon of gasoline. Every time you go to the pump it has probably changed. So, hey, let's rant at people who have no control over it, no idea how it works, and probably pay it themselves.
Gives Wired and other mags yet another buzzword topic to claim is newfangled and great when really it's just a new paint job on an idea that has been around for decades. But no, really, it's a paradigm shift, we SWEAAAR. Bleh.
What with the jet engine fan cooler ATI cards come with, they're going to be cool alright. Now.. quiet? No. But when someone asks you why your computer just got really loud you can tell them "That, my friend, is the sound of power."
Alaska based company Craptaculo.us is launching its website in a self-deprecating campaign against all websites which try to cleverly use the TLD suffix to create a new word. Craptaculo.us feels that del.icio.us is enough already, thank you.
First on Craptaculo.us' radar are:
http://fung.us/ - website about eating strange mushrooms and the wild tales that people share. eating mushrooms is bad. http://co.ck/ - needs no explanation http://gu.ru/ - complete lying bastards, they're not good at ANYTHING
I don't disagree with you. Someone needs to throw a chair at Ballmer. I don't know what kind of stranglehold he has on MSFT but it's clearly very tight. I think Microsoft is suffering from bloat and lack of coherent vision from the highest levels. Buying Yahoo, for example, is just more bloat. Why buy Yahoo when, if you did it right, you could defeat them and not have to absorb their problems too?
They're suffering from incompetence. All of the talent is going elsewhere. When Gates was at the helm over a decade ago he was ruthless AND made the right moves. Ballmer is ruthless and making the wrong ones. This course only leads one place.
The last fresh-faced Accenture hire I saw was extremely hot... and being a Slashdot regular, finding myself in the presence of 'teh hotness', I found that she indeed did do something. Fortunately the rest of the class was not aware of it, so to speak.
You don't have SLI... I do, and micro stutter is barely noticeable at worst. And I can play at resolutions and anti-aliasing that no sigle card could've made playable.
Short answer: it's fine. if you have the money, and want to play at extreme resolutions, get SLI.
It almost seems like micro stutter is some kind of viral ATI anti-marketing bs.
Given that today's systems, even Roadrunner, will eventually be looked at like cumbersome bricks of silicon and metal, do you think it's eventually feasible to fit everything Roadrunner is doing today into a space the size of a tennis ball?
Or, with even more forward-thinking exotic ideas, is it possible to fit this kind of computational power inside of a space the size of a sugar cube, or yet smaller?
It seems incredible... think about a machine that can think like a human but can also perform complex mathematics in its 'head' in real time. When I imagine what could happen if I were capable of doing calculus in my head, things start to get a bit crazy.
I once made a gel in a chemistry lab that was capable of withstanding incredible amounts of impact.
I have idea how it worked. In fact, I just randomly mixed some different compounds and applied some heat, and there it was. Again, I have no idea how it worked. But, nevertheless, I made it.
By taking so long to develop the game that piece took care of itself. It's like if you wanted to run Duke Nukem Forever, back when they announced it, it would only run on what was basically a supercomputer. Not the case anymore.

So I should've used "about" instead of "almost". ACs...

Uhm, oh I don't know... maybe the part about him being corrupt?
Is this a trick question?
There are a few things I'd like to say here:
I don't think he should go without prosecution. (Although the timing is suspect...) He is subject to the same laws we all are, and he deserves to be prosecuted for alleged crimes he may have committed. What I hope though is that he is acquitted and shown to be innocent.

I never said that. It's amazing how some people misinterpret what others say and only hear what they want to hear.
Quote your sources...
Nope. Never said that. You and your other extremist liberal buddies need reading comprehension.
You should work on your reading comprehension. I never said guilt doesn't matter. I never said removing corruption doesn't matter. In fact, I said they DO matter.

I harbor a deep and impenetrable sadness due to the fact that I realize I will most likely be playing WoW again once WotLK is released.
