some other form of communication that we are unable to detect.
If there is such a civilization, let's assume that they have figured out that form of communication. All we have to do is to stick some rocks, bits of wire and some twigs together to find it. We might not be able to detect it efficiently enough or correctly demodulate the signal, but just finding the presence of a signal would be a breakthrough.
Think back, it would have been possible to build an AM receiver a few thousand years ago. All you need is a coil of copper wire connected to an interleaved pile of gold foil and parchment. That's a tuned circuit, now hook that up to a rock (galena) and you have most of a crystal radio. A piece of quartz with some foil stuck to it might be enough to act as a sound transducer.
What would it have received? Probably just static from a nearby thunderstorm. Once someone worked out that lightning made the quartz crackle, it could have served to jump-start the development of electronics. That development may have been totally mis-guided and cloaked in alchemical style jargon, but it would have been progress where there was none.
Do they track the number of times an indexed page's link has been clicked? Or perhaps, the number of times a page was linked on the first results page. It might be interesting to look at some of the zeroes, just don't include these accesses in the stats. It's almost like an anti-zeitgeist.
Some of us will pay more. Until I see a "Hecho en Mexico" sticker on a bottle of Coca-Cola, I won't buy it. The bottlers there use sugar, while US bottlers use HFCS. Interesting how one or another branch of CC threatened (or sued) merchants that sold the imported version. They cited something like wanting to "provide a consistent product experience".
Bring back Mountain Dew Throwback!!! There, now this is tied to PepsiCo.
It really is good to know where your towel is. I'll explain.
A few weeks ago, I went to Atlanta (interstate, not interstellar) for a real estate closing. I stayed at the house there instead of a hotel. When I arrived, I found the "lawn" to be be nearing three feet tall. Though it was typically hot and humid, I had to mow it. That done, it was time for a shower, except there's not a towel to be found. Ended up driving to a store, just to buy a single towel.
Next road trip, I'm taking a towel. I've learned my lesson.
Most traffic lights in metro Atlanta seem to be perfectly unsynchronized, forcing motorists to wait through several cycles. Shutting the engine off for that length of time, the interior temperature is likely to exceed 100F (38C) before you to make it to the next red light. A similar scenario could play out in the colder climates, since the heater core will stay warm for a minute or so once the engine coolant stops flowing.
If the hybrids have a provision to run the electric motor to drive the air conditioner, I might tolerate IBM's plan. OTOH, do what I did, move to a town that has no traffic lights.
Didn't see that ad myself, but they probably used this effect. Fechner color
is an illusion of color seen when looking at certain rapidly changing or moving black-and-white patterns. They are also called pattern induced flicker colors (PIFCs). Not everyone sees the same colors.
Did you take note of the license plate and file a complaint with the local police dept.? Sure they're unlikely to do something over one complaint, but if a trend emerges they'll take notice.
Me, I'd rather have to face a human witness (you) in court than a camera.
The sheep were sedated? Interesting. It tells me, that in their own view, tasering conscious sheep would be considered animal curelty. When techniques of animal cruelty are applied to humans, it's called torture or worse.
Use the VGA output and an A to D converter. If the system is running at 1280x1024, 24-bit color and 72 Hz, you can capture a bit over 2 GiBits/sec. Sure, you lose some speed using bits for error detection/correction, but you can turn the screen resolution up a little and it doesn't matter if the monitor can sync it. The hard part is installing a client program on the system to turn data into pixels. I'd use a keyboard simulator to input the binary into debug.exe, if it's still included with Windows. If not, there's notepad.
Some employers may stop hiring illlegals, others will take the risk and continue hiring them. The glut of unemployed illegals will drive their wages down and increase the margins realized the employer hiring them.
This is what the government wants. An employer caught hiring illegals will be fined and have assets confiscated. It will be a profit center for government, prosecuting and deporting illegals is not.
The last that I've heard is that Spain faces some fiscal difficulties, they need to raise some revenue.
Though the study only considers the kernel, a starting point has been established. Downloading an entire operating system for free (other than ISP charges) denies the state the revenue from sales/VAT tax that would have been paid on shrink-wrapped product. The downloader receives benefit from the download similar to the benefit received by someone who purchased the shrink-wrap product. Should the downloader be taxed similarly to the tax-paying purchaser?
Now that a value is placed on something that is free, it is ready to be taxed like any other product on the market. What I wonder is, did U of O undertake the study at the behest of the government.
The FBI data uses only the population within the city limits of Atlanta, while the data for London appears to consider the entire metropolitan area. Look at the MSA figures for both and you'll see that the populations are a closer match, at 1.9:1 than your 17:1 claim.
However the crime figures from the FBI didn't include the outlying areas, so that number is sure to go up. So the Atlanta area wouldn't fare any better on a per capita basis.
We had a nationalized phone company, AT&T. All telephones were black and had a dial. After the breakup all kinds of innovative services became available, and prices went down.
Ok, technically it was a monopoly, but they had government's blessing to maintain that status. The only difference is that the CEO was not a member of the Presidential cabinet.
That's easy, set the cookie file permissions to read-only. I've been running the browser this way for a few months, and it has been a bit of a hassle at times. Overall it seems to be worth the trouble, since each time I start the browser, there are only the cookies for site preferences and login status.
start browser
go to every site that you frequently use
log-in, set preferences, whatever it takes to make the site set the cookie that you want to preserve
use the cookie manager to delete unwanted cookies
close browser
set the cookie file read-only (0400)
Next time you browse, the cookies will accumulate like always but disappear whe you close the browser. However, if you change site preferences, those changes will be lost also.
While I haven't spotted a test for your type of walls, the box o' truth has a collection of tests on a variety of other wall type vs. firearms. You might be able to extrapolate you level of protection from their results. I can't help on the effect of the log wall on radar, since my license class ends just over 100MHz.

Might as well research magic at this point.
Any sufficiently advanced technology ...

Use an old wide-carriage printer, two pages are about the same size as half broadsheet.

Huh? Free beer in the seat-back entertainment system? It has been too long since I've flown.

If a road surface can hold a negative charge, ice won't form above the charge-altered freezing point.
Only if the party takes place at Hooters.
Does your comment make this movie S1m0ne prophetic?

New Orleans, perhaps? Also, the Death Valley area would benefit enough to make it a worthwhile project.

If your definition of worked includes selling lots of 12 MPG pickup trucks.
Do I get an extra holiday for each language used?
The iwaybandit thanks you.
