Might be a good designer, but definitely isn't a good artist. Either that or she thought the astronaut's legs were the same length as the rest of her body.
I have yet to see any fashion design sketches that were anatomically correct in their proportions. I gather that such sketches are meant to be impressionistic rather than realistic.
I'm actually much more impressed by something like the Dieselmax, even if it is much slower.
I just read that and now I am impressed. 350mph, 2.7 tonne vehicle (yeah I'm mixing units) and a fuel tank size of 9 litres. And according to that article they only limited themselves to 350 as a safety precaution for the tires, and they weren't even in top gear!
The original ejector seat in the F-104 was designed to eject downward because of the high T tail. If you lost the engine on takeoff you had to roll it to survive ejection. Don't know if they changed that later.
According to this F-104 Ejection Seat the reason for firing downwards was because they didn't have powerful enough ejectors to go upwards (which would help clearing the tail) but later on when they were available then upwards egress was used.
When the story about the Brits was run I pointed out *then* that there were 3 groups trying to break the land speed record. The Yanks will be doomed to be "also ran's" as the real competition to the Brits is the Aussies with the 1000+mph "car" Aussie Invader
I'd plead for people to do *any* research on a story, but this is/. (and kdawson btw what is a "reaer", as mentioned in the summary. Is spell check too fucking hard now?)
4:15 - 4:19 is also interesting although a second of our vision is obscured by the crosshair. Why is that indivdual crouching at a building corner and fiddling with something and then looks like he picks is up and points it.
I believe it is called a camera, with a long lens, and the user is a war photographer. If it was an RPG then the military should be able to provide it as evidence.
I might have missed something in the video, anyone care to explain?
Ask yourself this.. if American soldiers were attacked and defeated.. and then the attackers came back and creamed the wounded, how would you feel? What sort of outrage would you see in the American press?
I have a great way to protect the power grid against cyber-attacks: Don't connect it to the internet!
I work in Industrial Automation, IE the kind that is used in Power Plants, Manufacturing Plants and basically anything else that is automated. The equipment and software is generally controlled by third party manufacturers. Of course as no software is really bug free, these manufacturers are continually releasing updates (although I have reported some of those practices on The DailyWTF) and they release these updates via.. The.. Internet.
Fine, so how do I get my updates in a timely manner? Perhaps I should download from the public internet and walk the software across the air-gap to the secure Internet?? Well that sounds fine and dandy until you consider that right now (while I am slacking off) I am in VA and working on a manufacturing system in SC, so walking that air-gap would take at least a 6 hour, one-way drive just to get to the plant. So we are talking an extra $1000 on top of the project costs just to do a single, simple update.
That kinda screws my effectiveness to do my job. And that is the base argument of why things are connected to the internet - convenience and cost. But the answer is not go backwards and take all the tools away. The answer is to provide better security on the systems that are connected to the Internet
Two thoughts have crossed my mind while I was writing this:
The Internet's root DNS servers are connected to the Internet, but no one is running around screamin that the sky is falling because they are vulnerable. And if they get taken down then when are in deep shit
I have said this before, 1/2 dozen guys with SUV's and high powered rifles could easily take down the power grid in a matter of hours
One wonders how much BMW paid to have "the Mini Cooper" used to describe this thing...:)
Well they could have said "small car", but that is kinda subjective as what amounts to a small car in the US is gi-friggining-normous everywhere else in the world. Instead I'm guessing that the news program just went with a recognized make/model that is in use all over the place, and that no money changed hands.

If I could I'd mod you up - anonymous coward or not.
I can see the editor thinking "we already know this is fake news, but let's publish: we are missing a good Mono flamewar since forever!"
Nah.. I think at the moment it is more like "lets break up the run of slashvirtisments and Apple fawning stories so we can seem like a reasonable website". As after all the editors have proven time and time again that they don't know real news from fake shit.
Your question prompted me to google and I found concurrent vs consecutive sentences. It seems that it is up t the judge to decide how to sentence someone based on touchy feely concepts of their prior history. IE if they were previously good before committing 2 separate crimes then they might get concurrent sentences. If they are bad people then they might get consecutive sentences.
OT sort of. This last week there was a guy in VA who was sentenced in an online pedophile chat room incident. It was the usual police sting where the guy *thought* he was chatting to a teenage girl, but never actually did. His sentence.. 100 years. My first thought was that it just made abducting and murdering teenage girls less risky than thinking you were chatting with them online
Your point is flawed. The Kent state incident is NOT banned on Youtube or anywhere in the web.
My point has nothing to do with whether or not Kent State videos are banned or are on yutube. My point has to do with that by substituting any country name and event it is possible to construct a reasonable statement that highlights governmental control by that country. In the case of the USA, I suggest you read up on McCarthyism.
You know it's weird. I'm actually in France right now, living in a dorm with a lot of American foreign students. One of them told me how his father was actually one of the students at Kent State. OH, and after the incident burned a book filled with writings of his classmates so that the government wouldn't find it and record his previous affiliations on his resume.
This guy also tells me how shocked he was after he came to France and was finally able to see the Kent State videos on Youtube (blocked in America of course), and how it's changed his views of his government. According to him, a lot of American youth are extremely nationalistic, and are "brainwashed" by the government. The government hires people to parrot their views of events as if they're normal citizens telling their own personal viewpoints.
He told me he himself used to like his life in America, but now that he's realized the truth about his government, he'd prefer not to go back to America after his study period in France is over.
Not entirely on-topic, and mod me down if you must, but I just thought it was interesting how this American guy has become disconnected from his country and his own people, who seem to be influenced so heavily by their government.
The point I am trying to make is that all governments everywhere try to control their populations one way or another
It's pretty interesting too. I wonder how they get around the fact that these are not domesticated animals........ If they were to try this with a chimp it could literally rip a human's arms off.
I only have something to hide in that regard because the government requires me to hide it, not because I particularly care.
The government does not require you to have curtains. Certain locations may require you not to display nudity to the outside world and that is totally different.
I think your right on this, but we may need to crowd source the job of finding these German researchers in order to apply the Duct Tape so they don't ever do this sort of research again.

So, are you outraged at the enemy? Somehow I doubt it.
Your assumptions. You do not have to be anti-American or anti-war to be pro-decency.

Can you imagine what this would do for the STD worries of people involved in "One Night Stands"?
Won't help very much. You can't tell if you've got an STD a few hours after having sex.
I think the OP was more like "Look at me .. I'm STD free, you're STD free so lets fuck!"
However STD's such as HSV2 are hard to detect at the best of times, so I doubt it would a 100% guarantee

Thats simple, you just employ editors who have the professional knowledge to bring headlines and summaries into the best format

What's the logic behind concurrent sentences.
Your question prompted me to google and I found concurrent vs consecutive sentences. It seems that it is up t the judge to decide how to sentence someone based on touchy feely concepts of their prior history.

You'll get less for murder.

Looks good, but I am always a bit leery of products that have no customer reviews.
It's pretty interesting too. I wonder how they get around the fact that these are not domesticated animals. ....... If they were to try this with a chimp it could literally rip a human's arms off.
Or a face.
There is hope for him yet!
I only have something to hide in that regard because the government requires me to hide it, not because I particularly care.
The government does not require you to have curtains. Certain locations may require you not to display nudity to the outside world and that is totally different.
And remember if you haven't done anything wrong you have nothing to hide.
So how many curtains do you have on your bedroom windows?
