Fire control radar is notoriously bad at locking onto small, meaty targets traveling relatively slowly. Small arms fire is a much bigger threat, which is a really good reason to insert at night.
Oh, that's easy. Just ask croddy there. They'll tell you whether people are fit to vote or not. I'm sure that selection process won't bias the voter pool one way or another.
Seems to me that if I know the current draw of my application in amps, it's pretty easy to get a decent estimate of run time without having to pull out my conversion factor tables.
Units exist to make my life easier, not to exhibit some kind of "purity".
with my Energizer NiMH AA and AAA cells, recharging in a Ray-O-Vac Model PS4 quick-charger. I've been using them in a lot of my portable devices for about two years or so, and haven't had to replace any cells. The batteries don't last quite as long in my Visor as alkaline batteries, but I still get several weeks of service with my usage patterns. The big thing I like is the quick-charger, which will recharge four AA or AAA batteries in about half an hour. It also does nine-volt batteries, but I don't use them for anything.
All in all, it's saved me a big pile o' cash on alkaline batteries, and I get plenty-long-enough service from them.
Having to tell EVERY BUSINESS IN AMERICA that I don't want them to call me during dinner is foolish.
These companies do not have a right to profit. I do have a right to control access to myself.
What, do you think that anybody who puts their name on the DNC list would actually buy something from a telemarketer? If anything, this is going to increase their hit percentage.
All I did was express an opinion. You presented straw-man arguments to attempt to disparage my opinion. And now you're trying to wave the free speech bloody shirt? Come on. I was never contemptuous of your opinion...until now, because you're obviously a fool or a troll.
In point of fact, I was trying to engage you in a dialog at the outset, which you assiduously avoided by restating your (irrelevant to my point) argument.
So, you want to have "won" this discussion? I concede. Here's a cookie. Have a nice day.
You'll feel every one of those extra 1000lbs when you try to turn the car. Power/weight ratio is great when you're building a pony car, but for a true sports car, there is no substitute for light weight.
Oh yeah, and if it's got a live axle? Fuhgeddaboutit.
That Holden is an INFINITELY better-looking car than the GTO. Too bad I'll never be able to get one. :/
I think that the stock Miata has one of the best exhaust notes out there. No aftermarket pipe even comes close. "butt trumpet" is right...but the factory had their business sorted on that one.
I'm sort of dabbing my toe into the new car market, hoping I get a REAL job soon. On my list are:
1) 350Z 2) Infiniti G35 Coupe 3) Mazda RX-8 4) Mini Cooper S 5) Subaru WRX Wagon
(forced aspiration is no problem for me. : )
The last two break several of my guidelines, but by all reports they're both kick-ass drives. I don't know if I'm going to be able to afford any of the first three. : )
Right now, with the conspicuous exception of the Corvette, there is not a single American car I'd call a "sports car". The Mustnag's suspension is crap, and it's a bit too heavy. Maybe the '04 redesign will fix that. I think they've done a great job with the skin...but I hope the running gear is improved as well.
I am glad, of course, that there are lots of cool cars out there for me to drool on.
"palate" is correct when discussing the top of the mouth, or the sense of taste (as in "My dad has a discerning palate"). "Palette" is the painter's board with different colors on it. The term is, of course, also used in digital arts.
So funk the trolls. You were correct the first time.
I wish GM would just go ahead and realize that if they designed cars that didn't look like ass, I might buy one.
Come on. Sports car. Two doors. Manual transmission. Rear wheel drive. Independent suspension. (I shouldn't even have to say that.) Weighs less than 3000lbs. Looks cool. It can't be that hard, guys!
That thing looks like a warmed-over Grand Prix. I am really disappointed that the Aussies didn't come up with a better design. They know their cars down there...just wish they could beat some sense into GM's "design" centres.
How is that mutually exclusive with my grandparent's (absolutely accurate) statement?
id hasn't made a decent single-player game since Doom II. They make game engines, and deathmatch games. That bores me. Just my opinion, of course, but I thought Half Life was the game the Quake engine was born for.
Recompiling the app to run on PowerPC is going to be much more difficult than recompiling it to run on BSD, so if you're going to do one, why not do both?
Seriously, though. Why the hell would you replace OSX with Linux? That just does not make sense. What can you do on PPC Linux that you can't do on PPC BSD?

Where'd they find a guy with a rack like that?

Those people are making a conscious choice not to subject themselves to the high-pressure sales tactics of telemakreters. That is their right.

It's really not too bad. You'd be amazed what you can do with conservation of momentum. : )
Mmammmm...Navier-Stokes inequalities...

You cared enough to reply.
The question was, was I honestly trying to engage you in a dialog, or was I trolling you? I'll leave that as an exercise for the class.
Listen very carefully.

Deathmatch.
It bores me. Best deathmatch I ever played was Marathon II. Since then, it's just boring.
This is my personal opinion, which is not shared (so far as I am aware) by any other person on Earth. That fact makes it no less valid.
I'm a Miata driver. That's my benchmark. : )

The "technology demo" bit I understand. It's the "buy" one I don't.
They rooked me with Quake 2. It'll never happen again.
yeah, because nobody's going to buy Doom 3 if it's released in March.
You, and every marketroid on Earth, are on the crack.
Sure wish I could have finished it, but I ran into a mis-set game flag three days after Ion Storm stopped doing technical support, and I was fuxored.
That'll learn me to buy games.
I wish GM would just go ahead and realize that if they designed cars that didn't look like ass, I might buy one.

OK then, which "bleeding edge" cards do not support DirectX 9? And what games use OpenGL's vertex/pixel shaders?
1) You are on CRACK to state that HL never got any status in the serious gaming community.
2) I never said that HL was more popular than various Quake iterations. I simply said that I didn't care for them.
How is that mutually exclusive with my grandparent's (absolutely accurate) statement?
id hasn't made a decent single-player game since Doom II. They make game engines, and deathmatch games. That bores me. Just my opinion, of course, but I thought Half Life was the game the Quake engine was born for.
And HL2 is going to be even better. Can't wait!
Bungie. Marathon. 1994. I belive that was before DN3D, but I won't swear to it.
Recompiling the app to run on PowerPC is going to be much more difficult than recompiling it to run on BSD, so if you're going to do one, why not do both?
Not like either is blindingly difficult...
Seriously, though. Why the hell would you replace OSX with Linux? That just does not make sense. What can you do on PPC Linux that you can't do on PPC BSD?
It's a BTO option, with an internal antenna. Set you back about $100.
Yeah, good thing Dell doesn't let the user determine their own needs. Gosh, that might be, like, confusing.
Oh, wait, it's Macintoshes that are supposed to be feature-poor. Oh, wait, it's a Macintosh that's the benchmark for small laptops.
The computer market is coming apart at the seams! All the stupid stereotypes are...gasp! Wrong!
