Where is your research - you are just a robot spewing information without looking into it - try looking at the following VERY disturbing link on the effects of DU on babies
or follow any of the other links and read more than just the links on DU from 'official' sources...
"Sure, any weapon is designed to kill people, but at least a space-based projectile is less likely to cause permanent health hazards to an area"
But of course we can count on it being made out oif depleted uranium, which regardless of what the pentagon may say definitely has health affects on human beings.
In the bay area I would hire off of craigslist before any other big boards. I mean monster was all over the super bowl...
I dont think they use their money wisely - and I would think their focus is more on frivilous expensive advertising like the multi-million dollar super bowl placements - then actually getting the little guy a good job.
You know why some things are so expensive in the US?
Because we will pay it, not because it actually *Costs* that much.
The whole supply chain has been artificially inflated in the US. This becomes readily apparent if you spend any amount of time in another country.
You will see that by desiring more money and making things cost more - you are not actualyl increasing the value of any good or service, in fact you are decreasing it. By making the root of the chain cost more to perform (e.g. picking/growing food) thereby causing it to be worth less - you cause the whole system to cost more.
The F/A 18 has a titanium ring gasket that clamps around the engine exhaust where the fusalage meets the engine. This thing is roughly 1/4" wide, about a 1/16 or an 1/8" of an inch thick with a little clamping lever - its about 30" in diameter or so...
I was told when handling it at Fallon Naval Airstation in Nevada (top gun school at the time) that the gasket was 27,000 USD. each. and it requires 2 of them.
I have been thinking about concept clumps - kind of similar to social clumps and cluster - but relating things that are based around similar ideas of information that they are trying to convey.
Similar in the way that grokker clumps navigable areas together, it would be interesting to instead clump things together based on the relations of the meaning of the information they contain.
For example, lets say that you are reading an article on any given site. You would be able to highlight a phrase, a word or a sentance, then look that term up in context. This is different than simply googling the term in that you are looking for the context of the term as opposed to a concrete definition.
so if you were reading an article regarding the legal take over of a company by intel, you would be able to easily search for articles writen that involve intel in any other litigation, with results containing intel involved in purchases or sales of companies and their technologies coming to the top of the list...
obviously there is a lot more in this required to accomplish it - so Ill just stop here before giving it all away.
The main point being that this type of searching is easily applicable to understanding relationships in social networks as far as identifying how common intrests are shared.
The clustering of attractions and dislikes to profile trends and personalities in any given demographic are made especially easy in systems such as friendster and orkut. By having people OPT-IN to the deepest marketing database available and provide you with all the details of not only the things they like (under the guise of sharing yourself with the others in the community) AND showing you what other people they are connected with who share common interests is one of the biggest social hijacks ever.
Just when you thought marketing was a dead science that is too transparent to have any real impact, social networks arise to provide marketing data on an astounding level.

Just wait till they are able to correlate all this info with DNA profiles:)
Not that this is bad per se, but it is a fact taht this info will be the next gold standard in market research where marketing will move to a social promotion system.
I think that the goal here is the promotion of product will largely come from people advertising their likes of a product through their profiles and communications with friends online.
It will be very easy for a group of people to communicate things (it already is) that are of interest to their social networks. Like on person telling the other 65,000 friends they have how they jsut experienced product Y, and that everyone should try it....
interstingly, will we see fakesters made specifically to spam the other friends with testimonial like adverts for products they are trying to introduce to a specific demographic?
exactly. its not the mmorpg market thats saturated - its the reach of the model thats is breaking. there needs to be an extension of the rpg to beyond just high bandwidth wired PCs.
FL - are you familiar with this site - Goro Adachi has been following the mars landers and their pictures, and been pointing out how the colors of the mars pictures are fixed before they get released to the public.
I think you will find it interesting - he uses pictures of the rovers here to compare colors as they appear in the pics from mars.....
How many did we launch at the Iraqi guy we are supposedly trying to kill/find at one time?Did we hit him? nope. Did we kill a bunch of people. Yes we sure did. We killed chemical Ali - remember. One hundred percent confident we killed chemical Ali.
Oh wait, no we didnt.
but dont worry we killed that other guy in afghanistan. and nine of his body guards.
oops - those were children playing in a field. Our official appology and condolences.
Dont try to claim that just because the military weapons cost but loads of money thatthey are any more precise, smart or otherwise more effective than any other weapon that may have a smaller price tag. And to call anything other than a military cruise missle automatically a Terrorist weapon is just rediculous.
This article states that we hit Iraq with over 500 cruise missiles.here
I worked at intel - and it is a known fact (at least it has been previously) that it is cheaper to build a completely new fab than to re-tool an existing one.
Fabs cost multiple billions, but it costs even more to dismantel and re-tool a fab for completely new machines, hardware and processes in production.
I call upon you, the American People to realize that this action is only used to gather intelligence on the Axels of Evil - these terrorists in our midsts. This only furthers our resolve to do whatever we must to protect your freedom.

I just recently saw Solaris. Not even a sequel out yet... how could they be coming out with a 10th version?
It was good I guess, but good enough for 9 sequels in 3 years??

Surely you mean Duplo!
Great, so does this mean that one can legally challenge him to a Duel to defend his honor?
You would think that a knight should at *least* be able to defend himself (and his honor) in a duel - so I say we challenge him and find out.
And I am not talking about Quake!
