They actually claim one dollar per ton per mile. And I'm sure that doesn't include accelerating it to an orbital velocity... So it's cheaper, to be sure... but not quite that cheap.
That's a terrible analogy - and besides, some people would still pay for it. Those people would fall mostly into two groups, a.)People who obey the law because it's the law, and they were raised that way/have an exceptionally strong moral code/feel they have to much to lose, and b.) those who figure that they'll definetely get their IP logged for downloading from that area.
Either way, it's a bad analogy anyway - the risk of getting caught stealing a road sign is probably not all that high, but it's still a hell of a lot higher than the risk of getting caught for music swapping... that's up to, what, 1500 out of, say, 100 million? One in a seventy thousand?
since I made the mistake of taking a sip of water as I was waiting for that picture to come up. Which is extra bad, cause I did that not ten minutes ago when I saw the original picture.
That's the funniest thing I've seen... well, since the beginning of this article, I guess. It's at least the second funniest thing I've seen on Slashdot today, though, which is worth something.
2: PETA fanatics don't blow people up. PETA might be out on a limb sometimes (i agree with some of what they do, and other times i think their tactics are mismanaged at best).. but they arent murderers (afaik).
As far as criminal acts go, the problems isn't what PETA does as what it doesn't do - find me a statement when they publicly decried the actions of any of the violent extremist animal-rights group unequivocally.
Here's a hint - you can't. They won't directly support them, because they're afraid of legal consequences.
people started selling their old UID's on eBay.:) Seriously, I haven't noticed much of a difference - it seems to me that for at least the last year, whenever I pay attention to it, about a quarter of the non-troll posts are from UID's under mine, and the rest above...
You irritate cops just because you can, and then you wonder why you get a ticket for going 47 in a 45, right?

On a more serious note, try a search for '"september 11" contrails' on a search engine. It was established that due to the absence of contrails in the air, more sunlight reached the USA, and it even warmed up a little as a result over the 3-4 days.
Wrong. (Not just because you're too lazy to provide any links. You know, like this or maybe this.)
No, you're actually wrong because you fail the reading (and understanding) the articles test - it didn't warm the earth up. It increased the temperature range for each day - that is, both the high and the low temperature - just like a clear day versus an overcast one.
The problem with sniping occurs when the "sniper" is sniping without intent to purchase. The sniper may be part of a group bid rigging involved in price fixing, which is a form of conspiracy in restraint of trade..
But there's a risk for the sniper. If they drive the price up too high, and they win, they the seller is going to pay the auction fees without winning anything. Also, (in theory at least) eBay watches out for people bidding on their own auctions - I'm sure if seller A had bidder B almost win all of their auctions, for a wide variety of items, somebody would at least ask a few questions...
When I "share" my taped movie with a friend, I am giving him my only copy of it. While he has the tape, I don't have it, therefore it is legal.
When I "share" an MP3 with another firned, I am not giving him my only copy of the song. I am making a new copy and giving that to him. Maybe you don't realize it, but this is a huge difference! In fact, this difference is the basis for copyright law - the control over distribution of copies of creative works.
By that logic, it's acceptable to tape a movie off of HBO onto one (1) tape and one tape only - but not legal to make a copy of said tape? What the fuck kind of sense does that make? Especially since HBO broadcasts any movie they show at least five times a month - so you could easily make five copies of 'Basic' with just a single VCR. Are you telling me that's illegal, but making one copy isn't?
It's the "distrubution" part that gets thorny. Making a copy of one movie or song and giving it to one person isn't considered "distrubution" (to most people, anyway) - but making a hundred thousand copies and giving them out (by Kazaa or on the street corner) is (to most people). The problem is the borders between legal swapping and illegal distrubution aren't set - so every one has their own intrepretation.
Or does it seem like there must be something else going on that makes them not want to test their model. Consider:
The springs are wound up by rotating the wheels in the opposite direction to the one in which it is meant to go.
"It is a very powerful machine," Professor Galluzzi said. So powerful that although they have made a full-scale "production model", they have not dared test it. "It could run into something and do serious damage," he said.
If the springs are wound by rotating in the opposite direction... why not just wind it up only a few meters in the middle of a large parking lot? Can't go any further than you wind it...
Most of the 0-5's I've known at least had a Master's... that's mostly active duty, not reserves, but I'd make the assumption he's in the scientific cadre and not in the regular command structure...
My favorite mix-taped skill was trying to have songs on the opposite side of the tape end at the same time - if I didn't feel like listening to any more Faith No More that day, I could hit the side-switch button on my boom box (I didn't have a dual-direction deck - it had this stupidly complex mechanism to extract and flip the tape itself... Needless to say, it broke in under a year) and it would flip over to the Public Enemy side... ah, those were the days.
It would depend on the album. I wouldn't recognize the original order of most the albums I've bought in the last five years - most of them I used to make mixed CDs, and rarely (if ever) listened to them all the way through... but I remember the exact order of a lot of the CDs I listened to on my Discman in high school or college - I'd know if it switched "Obsolete" and "Edgecrusher".
The Propeller tech they are using isnt the most efficient because it attracts birds, and in 5 years they could be moved miles out where you could use really efficient technology, not make it impossible for rescue helicopters to pickup people in heavily traficked areas of sailing/boating/commercial fishing (my cousin was in an accident, had these been up hed be deaD).
I'm not going to claim that I know a lot about wind farms, and I'm not a helo pilot (my eyesight's not good enough, so I'm stuck on the boat), but I really fail to see how a wind turbine on land is going to seriously interfere with a helo-op taking place on the water. There's plenty of radio towers that are just as tall as a wind turbine in our area, and I've never seen either a CG or Medevac chopper have a problem with any of them. Now, if these turbines were being built partially submerged, half a NM out in the water or something, that'd be a different story.
Sure, you say that now. But in a mere 4-6 billion year, where will our fair-weather friend be then, huh?

Oh, so you say he'll have expanded to a few orders of magnitude beyond his current size, and be all red and evil looking? Well, what kind of friend is that?
If, out of 50,000 votes, there is a difference of two (and that doesn't change the result of the election), one can assume the election is fair. (Or, if it is biased, at least they had to buy off two separate companies.)
People live in the suburbs because it's cheap housing. Go price some houses or apartments in a downtown area.
Then I thought about transit time, gas, and depreciation on my car. So I decided $300-400 more a month was more than worth it to get to spend an extra 60 - 90 minutes a workday with my wife & my dog, to save more than $100 a month on gas, and put less than 2000 miles on my car commuting in a year. All together, I probably pay $2 for each of those extra hours I spend at home.
(Most) people live in the suburbs because a big house seems more important than some extra time at home. (Unless they work in DC. Then they just don't want to get mugged.);)
If I had a disclaimer on the weight, does that mean I'm not held accountable for anything that is a direct result of droping it?
No, but if you have a large area cordoned off with fence and "large weight dropping area" signs, and somebody went around/over the fence, you wouldn't be held accountable. (Well, as long as those signs were easy to read/in the local language, at least. Putting them in Sanskrit probably wouldn't cut it.)
