No, that's not just the way the industry works. It's greedy managers that want to have slaves working for free. The only answer is to organize. A union is the only effective recourse these people have.
I'm mostly into model engineering, I subscribe to both Live Steam and Engineering in Miniature. They're excellent magazines, and only rarely have issues that I would consider to be clinkers.
Couple problems there. For one, these rockets go straight *up*. Meaning anything they disperse over an area, the person launching it gets hit with as well. Secondly, a proper aerosol of something like anthrax is *extremely* hard to build, not considering the general difficulty of growing anthrax anyway.
The most fundamental, substantial reason is this: It's too complicated. Terrorists do not use complex methods, because they don't have to. They can achieve very large impacts, with very small attacks. It's not about the amount of damage, it's about the ability to demonstrate that it can't be *prevented*. Once you do that, people will be scared out of their wits because they never do know when something is going to happen. The US government needs to get rid of this beleif that terrorists are going to behave like foreign governments. These aren't governments, they're guerillas. If one looks at the Vietnam war, a classic example of what guerilla warfare can accomplish, one finds constant use of the most rudimentary weapons and jury-rigged equipment. The simple reason is that they didn't need anything much fancier. The US can afford to hire a team of engineers to develop a missile, Al Qaeda can't.
It comes pretty close to stopping there. It's a widely accepted altitude for the end of the atmosphere. Besides, much above 100k feet and the air is too thin to support an airplane.
Have you ever noticed that no one ever calls it just Hamas? Look at Sinn-Fein, Al-Qaeda... But it's always referred to as, "the militant Palastinian organization Hamas". That doesn't make any sense to me.
Worth remember is Shakespeare's play, Julius Caesar. Cassius does something similar, placing anonymous letters to Brutus on Brutus' windowsill. Of course, the anonymous letters lead Brutus to believe that caesar's death is something wanted by many.
From my reading of the deffinitions, it appears that XML would be an acronym, which is a *type* of abbreviation. So, technically, you both are correct.
Of course, casting a new housing out of aluminum is far more complex than just making a mould using the old housing. One must remember, once poured the aluminum will shrink! You'll end up with a new housing, the right shape, but about 10% smaller on all dimensions. It would be necessary to basically start off from scratch, making a new mould that was 10% bigger than the original.
I think the controller is kind of a rip-off. You could easily build something more functional for less than $500 by dealing with AutomationDirect. They sell AC drives and PLCs that will do the job perfectly.
Small problem, most fossils are old enough that there is simply no DNA left to extract and test. Finding DNA in a 2,000 year old body is extraordinarily hard, let alone after millions of years.
Someone who's not afraid to *protect* business? Good god man, have you any idea what you're saying?! The DMCA was passed to protect business! Every copyright term extension has been to protect business! I say business has enough protection - what about protecting people for once? How about the people of Bhupal, India? Dow(who bought out the old Union Carbide plant) seems pretty well protected, but who's protecting the people who have to deal every day with a toxic landmine?
But what if you have a lot of technical skills? MacDonalds won't hire you because they're concerned that you'll run off the first instance that a better job shows up! Of course you would run off, but it means that you don't get the job. They just look at the resume and say, "What is wrong with this guy that he's applying here?!".
So, I find myself in a situation where there is no work in my field(computers, and it's really, really dead), I don't have enough experience to work at a different trade(machinist or welder, for example), AND I know too much to get a job flipping burgers. Of course, the idea of an apprenticeship is completely out of the question, those are almost impossible to get these days. Employers *will* *not* train people. Period.
I'm really surprised this was modded up. There are millions of people for whom that number is either too high, or too low. And that is true for all integer values of x! Not only would it be profoundly ineffective, it would also be practically impossible to enforce.

You must be careful to microwave the CD for three seconds, no more! Any more than three seconds and it *will* burst into flame.
It took quite a lot of research, but I did find out how much a flea weighs. It is approximately one millionth of a pound, or.000001 pounds. So, 1 trillion times 1 millionth of a pound would be... 1,000,000 pounds! It's closer to weighing as much as one billion fleas.
Whether Edison was a jerk or whether he was brilliant or not, he did succeed in starting a number of VERY successful businesses, sold products people actually wanted to buy, and invented an ore handling process that is still in use today.

Yeah, that job's taken by Alberta and BC!

Actually, the V2 carried 2,000 pounds of explosives. It had just a *little* more than .9lbs of fuel:)
The V1 was, in fact, not a rocket at all. It was a pulsejet. Hence it's nickname, the buzz bomb. I think you mean the V2.
It comes pretty close to stopping there. It's a widely accepted altitude for the end of the atmosphere. Besides, much above 100k feet and the air is too thin to support an airplane.
Indeed, people have even sky dived from that altitude. Not many, but it has been done.

I'm just wondering what kind of relationship Fred and Frank have between each other?

Which files?
Yes, but isn't that illegal?
Just try learning to ride a bike when you're 22! Nigh on impossible, without at least killing yourself.
Beleive it or not, but they're not trying to sell it. You only need marketing if you plan on selling it.
