Except here we're talking about the last 2.7 AUs of conjunction.
Right!!! If NASA pulls this off, then I can take that argument to my local phone company. I'll convince them that if NASA can connect a line like that, then the phone company should have no problem getting DSL or FIOS lines to me.
After all, isn't the point that a parent should weigh the content of the game against the maturity of their child?
Um.... If they actually parent, it is.
When my son was six (couple of years ago), he hung around a friend his age at a nearby home. A friend we found out eventually was as unctuous as Eddie Haskel. My son eventually told us the 'friend' has repeatedly chased him around with a lit lighter threatening to burn him. This was after the kid's grandmother caught him doing it. I would consider someone classified as a lousy parent to at least keep a lighter from a six year old. But the kid's father didn't care (must be worse than 'lousy'). From what might seem like a stereotypical rant from my point of view, I doubt that I'm far off the mark with this opinion:
The father was divorced, the kid was shuttled between Mom and Dad on a regular basis. The Mom didn't really want the kid much due to an 'alternative' lifestyle, but wanted the financial benefits of being legal guardian. The Father was never 'home' and the kid stayed with his paternal grandmother (where the father lived also). He buys the kid anything he wants for birthday and Christmas, including the Grand Theft Auto series for the PC. Here's an impressionable six year old playing GTA at his own leisure. The parents let this happen.
We forbid the kid to ever come over and for my kids to not play with him. We eventually moved and didn't have to deal with that troublemaker.
My neighbor (I live in a duplex) can be heard loud and clear while playing Call of Duty. He must get fragged a lot because what comes through the wall is:
"You F****** jerk, f****** gay, f****** f***, f****** bastard, F***, I shot you f****** first, f****** d***".....and I'm not exaggerating. My kids are now picking up on the language and we've addressed the issue with him many times. I have some recorded clips of him (picked up from the living room) on poor quality consumer equipment as evidence. Then there's the rumble and explosions coming from the surround sound equipment he bolted to the basement rafters. Rafters which happen to connect through to my basement rafters (i.e. living room floor). My recording equipment can't pick those sounds up all that well, but it's loud to humans and there's enough gunfire and explosions to give me Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and I've never been on the front line before. As soon as I get enough suitable recording, I'm calling the police over one last time before I file a civil complaint.
This isn't a kid or anything playing the game. It's the 45 year old head of household acting this way.
My understanding is that we all had a little brawl back in the 1860's which was based, in part, as to whether one man could FORCE another to work for him. The result, I believe, was a rather empathic NO!
Online stores are nice but simply can't beat a brick & mortar store with knowledgeable staff and a good selection.
The last time I trusted the "knowledgeable" staff at a major record store (granted, this incident was 20 years ago), I ended up forking out extra for a double cassette called Chess. This was because I like the the song One Night in Bangkok. The rest of the double album is trash and the cassette single would have been a better buy. Since then, it's peer review for music for me, not salesperson. Or maybe the local "music trade" shop.
My cynical view was reaffirmed rather recently when I was trying to buy a CD for my daughter. She wanted something different than Hillary Duff and ended up getting the same sound from some unheard of artist lucky enough to have a CD in the retail stream. That artist sounded like "Hillary Duff'. The most a major music store salesperson knows about music is just what song is blaring from the shop speakers. And that's only because they can pop out the CD and read it.
las they keep assaulting my senses ( and sensisbilities ) with television, radio and billboards
Don't forget the neighbor twit with the boom car, advertising the latest tunes to the whole block. Although they do help keep weld shops in business. I'm sure many a honda/acura trunk lid separated at the seams from the shaking.
Then again, in the case of my neighbor, the local juvenile otolaryngologist. Because she listens to the music that loud with her four year old daughter in the back seat.
What I gather FTA and my formal electronics training, electron based transistors control electric flow as if the electrons were a fluid substance, kind of like water, using electrical charges as the method of control. That electron flow continues to do work in the circuit. A very similar, yet different idea is inferred by using atoms. It appears that a continuous flow of electrons (continuous current drain) isn't needed for atom based transistors. I don't think gobs of atoms flow in such a circuit. Just the mere act of controlling atom flow could translate into a change of state that produces output: binary digits, waveforms, and other control circuits, etc. This will be done at a much smaller scale.
a dollar coin you can't tell apart from quarters easily
Nearly ten years ago, I had an argument with a PFT working the counter at a local convenience store as to why I insisted I could use a Susan B. Anthony coin for a pack of gum. The much older manager at least knew what it was and what it was worth.
Just stop making pennies and let the public melt them down.
No, give them to me. I'll just use them in the old fuse box. Those screw plug fuses don't come cheap anymore. The 150 amp capacity would come in handy. They also work great as a #3 flat blade screwdriver.
It must be the long workday. After suffering a giggle fit (much like a 10 year old kid occasionally gets) just picturing that situation, I feel that the illuminated victim might run off and start a religious cult after getting their face lit up like that and not knowing where it came from.
people may get so fed up and annoyed with trying to get their newfangled entertainment setups to work right (or at all), they give up, buy a bicycle, or some hiking shoes, and get outdoors and see a different world... maybe even one with more return on investment.
Well, people want to be more immersed in their games, and that's as good an idea as any. The way people drive these days, being outdoors is like being on the sidelines of a Burnout game. And the resolution is much better than 1080p.
How do companies match records in a credit report?
They use the Sesame Street method. This credit report was brought to you by the letters E and S, and the number 3.
If any of those characters are in your credit report, then it must be YOU!!
I'm serious. I've moved around a few times in the past 1.5 decades, constantly improving my living conditions. My credit reports not only show all my past addresses, and the subtle mistakes, but also an amalgam of various arrangements of those addresses combined. For example, I once lived in an apartment numbered 31E. My credit report now shows an address of 21 East St, in the same town. I never lived on an 'East St' (I never lived on 'Easy St' either). I guess a computer thought the 'E' in the apartment number was an abbreviation. Then there's the 31 E. East St., etc........
A private police force is an unnecessary danger. As long as businesses are able to be corrupt, so can a privatized police force (more so than existing ones).
There is a delay.. maybe a second or so - and then on top of that it takes them about a minute to get up to full brightness.
Sounds like Walmart bought their supply from the local dollar store.
I bought a bunch of CFL's at Home Depot for $10 a 4-pack. They are rated 100W equivalent, but only use 13W each. Guess what, they are BRIGHT!!!!!!
I replaced bedroom and kitchen ceiling fixtures with two-bulb fixtures and with these new bulbs, even a bat can see where it's going. For the bedrooms, I had to take a bulb out of the fixture to dim it down a bit. But all of them are instantly on at full brightness when I flick the switch, and have been doing so since July.
Other than the electric cost savings, I buy CFL's for another reason. I have an old house. It still has knob and tube wiring from the light switch to the fixtures. I'd rather have 0.21 amps (26W) flowing through the wires than 1.67 amps (200W).
I don't remember the brand name. I guess I should pull one from a fixture and grab the same pack at the store for future fixture upgrades. Or, if instant on, high brightness CFL's are that rare, maybe I'll post them on eBay for a premium.
Telling radio operators that they don't need to know Morse code is like telling scientists that they don't need to know the periodic table by heart.
Don't worry, darwinism will eliminate the scientists that opt not to memorize the Periodic Table that would empower them with a "back of the mind" reminder that they shouldn't mix the stuff.
Slashdot Mirror
Or maybe it didn't penetrate from inside him, through all the fat layers, to all those around him.
It certainly didn't reflect back to him from that "polished" operating system of theirs.
Did you just come back from the dentist or something?
Try it again after the novocaine wears off.
As one with shredded knuckles, I always wondered if PC case manufacturers were wholly owned subsidiaries of tetanus pharmaceutical companies.
No, Methane......

I'll sue the bastards who 'own' the disease for the effect it had on civilization.

Just like me when someone knocks on my door at a public toilet. I stop "working", too.

Just like in the movies RoboCop and Demolition Man

How about nucular instead?

Now I can see why AutoCAD software is being protected in this way. Once those US Haxors pwn the DWG format, Ikea's design files are sitting ducks.
