I had a run of fiber spliced at work last summer (we got rid of a trailer that had a patch panel in it.)
- First, they prep the cable by putting a case around the area to be spliced. - Next they splice it, although it can't be a windy day because the splicer will not have consistent temps.
The machine heats up the ends, pushes them together, then pulls them back apart just enough that there is no bulge, but not enough that there is a thin spot either. It then tests the splice to make sure it is a good one. Finally the operator slides the sleeve over the splice and the machine heats it to shrink it in place.
- The operator then places the strand into the carrier within the case and does the next one. - When all of the strands are done, he torques all of the seals on the case and fills it with nitrogen. It can then be buried.
I know it's insensitive, but I have this running through my head as I read this...
Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes... Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave! Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
Except that Karel Capek had (understandably) no clue as to the direction that robotics would take in the 88 years since R.U.R. premiered.
I recently saw R.U.R. and there were obvious parallels from what he envisioned and today, except that we do the things in silicon boxes that no-one feels should have rights, and we have yet to come close to any sort of sentience with silicon.
I would definitely call R.U.R. a science fiction work- Just because it isn't metal and silicon doesn't make it any less so. In fact, when I refer to what I saw, I call it a precursor to Battlestar Galactica.
The authors of the second amendment wrote the second amendment so that We the People have an ultimate ability to be the final check and balance on the government. A government that is afraid of its people serves its people best.
Without assault weapons, we don't have that ability. Nukes are another story though. They don't have a place in any humane culture.
True, although I can't really imagine how gravity will have an effect anymore. If you look at the objects around you, they'll appear to follow gravity at some times and at others defy gravity.

You haven't seen my neighbor's yard then. If that were the case, all we would need to do to time is not add water and fertilizer, add a few dandelions, and we could untwine the relationship to the point that the universes around us are valued less than ours.
Roman empire, British empire, median empire, achaemenid empire, seleucid empire, parthian empire, sassanid empire, to name a few more. Anyone want to get into fallen Asian governments?
And only white males are responsible for driving large amounts of explosives into a federal building, and black males are responsible for taking a sniper rifle to a freeway.
I can't say that shooting up schools has a demographic, as there has been more than one example of it, so the only common thread there is that the people severely needed help that they did not get.
Please refrain from blaming the victim. This family has done _nothing_ to you, your country, the airline, or the plane, yet you are blaming them for this problem. They were a family having a discussion that I would imagine is common, especially with families that do not fly often. The stewardesses were paying attention to what they were saying more because of their appearance. The airline system overreacted from the stewardesses to the airplane captain to the ticket counter that refused to follow the FBI's discretion. The family appears to be very patient with the situation, with the exception of the two individuals that behaved inappropriately- the stewardess that profiled them, and the ticket counter that didn't follow instructions.
How can someone call the reference guide well written, then five sentences later say that the book explains commands not documented elsewhere? Isn't the purpose of the reference guide, manpages, and any other documentation to define _all_ of the commands that are inserted into a program?
Now, I have to question what _else_ has been put into the program that hasn't been documented. Unfortunately, this lends credibility to Fyodor's detractors, and raises questions for me as to whether nmap belongs on my computer at all. (As a network professional that has rights to portscan his network it is a useful tool.)
Umm, so the record industry doesn't actually make it legal for the students to share the music, they just require their cut and they promise not to sue.
I hope someone more qualified than myself takes this up because they are trying to extort money from the universities in what appears to me to be a very literal definition of the term.
Most of the time it is the application that causes the SBBOD, and you can click on a different application, then force quit the offending app. That's assuming that the app isn't just working out a problem in non-standard ways, which is why Mac OS puts up the SBBOD in the first place.
10.1 is faster than 10.0 on the same hardware. 10.2 is faster than 10.1 on the same hardware. 10.3 is faster than 10.2 on the same hardware. 10.4 is faster than 10.3 on the same hardware. I can't say about 10.5 because is either the same speed or slower on the same hardware, but I've switched hardware too.
Each of these revisions added features. Each of these revisions were also optimized more than the others (with the exception of 10.5.) The expressed feature of 10.6 is optimization, so I expect it to perform better than 10.5 (and 10.4) on the same hardware.

He has it. So do I.

Actually Karel Capek credited his brother Josef for coining the term, he just used it in his play.
It's like they installed an unlocked automatic door to the street from the vault, if you want to get the real analogy correct.
The door is not illegal, it's just the context of spaces that it allows people to travel through.

Overlord. He is just one person. And he's Irish and Indonesian too.
True, although I can't really imagine how gravity will have an effect anymore. If you look at the objects around you, they'll appear to follow gravity at some times and at others defy gravity.
So, how would reverse time handle gravity?
unless gravity works constantly in reverse time as well as it does in our time progression. Then you would be pulled backwards along with the earth.

Mailman does it right.
Maybe they're too busy taking pictures? That's why forums are helpful - they allow busy people to share knowledge with other busy people.

Only if Steve Ballmer is running it, otherwise they coexist peacefully.

You're right. Common _Defense_, so why the fuck are we waging wars against two countries that really can't touch our borders?
