3 mile island's containment dome did its job. It released a fart of noble gases into the atmosphere, but thats it.
Chernobyl can be entirely blamed on the operators and the plant design. American reactors are not built the way the Russian's were. Chernobyl could not happen here.
Did you know that a chemist working on the manhattan project inhaled a few micrograms of plutonium (at the time, all the world's supply) and lived? Did you know there were studies done on people with LOTS of plutonium and they lived for a real long time? Granted not all did, but enough to make you stop and ponder.
True enough. An auto mechanic will *always* find a problem. Usually several. Even when the car is in fact in perfect running order.
I will remember that if you ever bring your car into the shop. You ask for an oil change, but i wont mention that cracked brake line hose I see, or the leaking gas tank....
I do run Windows 2000 Professional - great desktop/gaming OS and stable!
This is not a problem for me, because I have removed most of the MS cruft. I run litestep as a shell, I use openoffice for wordprocessing, and I use Mozilla for web browsing.
I could care less. Just confirms what I already knew even more.
"Thank you for your interest in Movielink. We want you to take part in the powerful Internet movie rental experience that Movielink delivers, but it is presently unavailable to users outside of the United States."
Ketchikan, Alaska may be close to Canada, but FUCK.
Im impressed, how many is this now? 6? Do they design them to fail or does that happen just because they are fucking stupid?
Oh yes, if I see another of those stupid 1/2/3 Profit!!! comments I am going to puke. That joke wasn't funny the first time I saw it and it still isnt. Repetition does not make it better.
It may legally be parody, and should be treated as such thank you everyone, for pointing that rather obvious one out.
Even though the disclaimer calls it a horrible tragedy, its not something to joke about since shit like this keeps occuring on a regular basis (in america...). For high school students like me, that will never, never, EVER be funny.
Where have we heard "can't be broken" before?
How much you wanna bet, when this is sold en masse, that some 15 yearold will crack it?
CSS all over again.
their security is sad, to say the least. All they use is windows boxes with little things like remote registry access enabled.
I feel sorry for people who go to that school district....
The horror! Microsoft made a better product than netscape!
Just mabey microsoft can make some good things, oh wait, the slashdotbot anti-MS F-U-D made most of you blind. M$ isnt always bad.
Ahh yes, Iomega.
Iomega Ditto Max 7 Gb: Bought it for 200 dollars. The advertisement said "comes with a free 7 gigabyte disk". Loh and behold it didnt come with a disk. I was told i bought the drive that "didnt come with a free disk", but they sent me the disk.
The add-in card that increased the speed of the tape drive was a fucking BITCH to get windows to recognize.
The drive itself ate 2 tapes. I tore it apart after 3 years. I felt so ripped off, there was no piece of technology in there that justified its price.
Iomega Zip 100 Parallel: The first drive lasted 4 years then it died, took a disk with it. The second one came at my penny and is working fine. The 11 disks i had save the 1 that died with the last drive are all working to this day.
I resent iomega for their shitty tech support, too. I will NOT pay 20 dollars to talk to a techie.
Conclusion: DO NOT BUY IOMEGA. (or S3, but thats another story).
There is a program for Halflife's Worldcraft , which can translate AutoCAD drawings into a crude Worldcraft map. I do not know offhand, the name of the program.
If this tool would be for customers, you have to keep in mind that lighting would also be a big deal. Maps do not light themselves, i imagine it would be hard to accurately model all the light sources.
Also, compile times can be pretty bad depending on the complexity of thse map. If its a big warehouse with lots of detail, the compile time could run up to a day on a slow machine. At least 6 hours for a fast one. Do not use this if you expect to whip out a map for a customer to run around in, in a day.
I would reccomend Halflife over Quake x because VALvE, the creators of Halflife, are a lot more helpful (IMHO), and willing to support aspiring developers using their engine. Check out Http://www.valve.com and drop them a line, chances are they are willing to help.
how will they detect where the gravity waves are coming from?
How is one to tell that the wave is coming from the sun instead of the moon?
It would be interesting to see if they could find what the largest source of gravity waves in the sky is.

More butthurt republicans saying they won't start business / "know someone" who won't start a business because Obama.
Right. Because you'll refuse to start up a business because taxes.
Feel free to leave the country and take your toxic politics with you. I hear Somalia has a low tax rate.
Poast
You forgot the constant.
*sigh*
Why do people keep passing on this shit as if it has any link to reality?
Great job there champ, repeat the comment directly above you!
HL2 has no multiplayer at all. Notice there is no multiplayer menu?
The only multiplayer that "came" with HL2 is Counter-Strike Source which has ALREADY been cracked.
Haven't you been paying attention?
HURR!
You need to know its' Inertia.
Use vector analysis upon those forces. You will know the resultant force, and use that against inertia. There you go.
Will they do the same thing they did with the roswell dig?
Im sure they will just do their show then never tell us what they discovered. Im still waiting on the results of the mass spec. tests!

It says "nothing to see here". Why was that article removed?

My friend, you need to learn geography. Alaska is bigger than Texas. Can you tell me where Alaska is?
