Well kudzo hasn't killed us all YET. Either way most mutations that we can create with current technology can easily happen in nature, and may even have existed somewhere at some point in time. But generally while great for people for some reason did not spread out to take over the world. Nature deals with small mutations all the time. None of these mutations we are talking about are all that huge.
No they just reserve the right to ban players who win too much too often. There really arn't enough people in the world good enough that it will ever become a problem as the casinos take in much much more than they lose to a few players, why else do you think they have maximum bets. An individual winning every hand at maximum bet still wouldn't cause the place to loose money that day, as there are enough people loosing tons of money at the same time.
But if they did create this, I would be willing to bet that you wouldn't be able to save songs from the satalite link. This would create a huge surge in ipod buying, as the hardware is they make the real money anyways, and hardly damper the itunes purchasing.
I think the real issue, is one mentioned in the article that its simply not possible given current battery technology to add satalite without making the ipods much bigger and heavier.
But you still can't always win, a group of MIT students a while back proved it was definatly possible when they took frequent trips to casinos, but apparently even they have frequent weekends where they lost badly. But they had large cash reserves, and doing it often enough and they won more often than they lost. But the point is you can't always win, even at blackjack, while counting cards.
Nope all stars are moving, infact there are some galaxies out there that are moving away from us at close to the speed of light (theoretically some are moving faster, but obviously we can't see them). That is the entire intent of einstein's theories is that in space with no referense point you can't tell how fast your moving, only how fast you are moving in referense to other things. I'm guessing this star is moving faster than the other stars, or orbiting something, which is the only movement you can really detect without a reference (rotation).
Well seriously most small boaters know better than to be out past dark, atleast close to shore. Its not like lighthouses are available all along the coastline, and you really should plan your trip better if your docking after dark. Generally best to anchor and just wait it out.
Personally I've gotten comfortable telling people $35 dollars a hour. I probably could charge more, but I tend to take longer that professionals so I charge less. Either way on the few occasions that I don't feel comfortable charging the person for whatever reason, my general answer is "Give me the computer and I'll fix it on my free time, or if you want it done now my general rate is $35 dollars an hour". More often than not they offer the money, on the other hand I generally have to leave the wife and kids at home:(
Ok finally found out the true percentage, apparently its 4% of income. Current SS is 12% of income meaning 33% if SS could be private. Though word is congress may decrease this to 2% meaning 16.66% a much more reasonable figure.
You didn't? Damn I wish I coulda not worked during college. 8 years later and here I am still in college infact, though I don't consider it my college days anymore as I work full-time have a family and take 1 or sometimes 2 classes a semister.
You can only invest 10 percent of your SS money into the private account. Your final benifits from SS will be reduced by that same percent essentially. So even if your stocks tank and are worth 5 cents you still get 90 percent of normal SS benefits, plus whatever the stocks are worth.
I didn't say anything about Bushs proposal, I'm saying that if you in whole oppose any and all SS reform, you are simply playing politics and are looking toward the AARP vote.
I think the point is that there are many people who do consider it sacred and take it seriously, believe it or not. Many of these people are afraid that the purpose of getting married is being clogged up by people who do it just for the image of it and have no idea what they are getting into. Personally I think we need a "hollywood marriage" ban. No more celebrities should be allowed to get married ever, they have shown they just can't handle it:)
Yes, but a fake skin replica that fits tightly over your real finger can fool any machine any time. It has warmth, it has blood flowing under it, and it has the right pattern. Remember, what you have, what you know, and something you are. But nowadays that last one is becoming just a weaker version of something you have, because you can never trade it out if it gets copied.
If it wasn't for your Subject line, I wouldn't be able to figure out if you were pro or con. Because simply put.. "If you oppose SS reform, you're playing politics, nothing more" is true and to the point, and not name calling in any way.
don't think the distance is all that important, as they were estimating it using 60MW spread over the 100 meter diameter. So that means the surface area (assuming flat circle, which this is not) is 7853.75 square meters. That is 7.6 Watts per square inch. Enough to definatly cause some heat, but I guess with some shielding could be dealt with. But ultimatly you'd be blocking those precious rays from the sail, so in front with a small anchor would be preferable.

Wow, that was longer than the article.
On the other hand, anyone know an easy way to get tetris on a Nokia 3595?
So whats funny about
85 107 240 7 192 0 0 0?
I don't get it.

Hey its not my fault modders are on crack?
Now I'm placing wager odds on weither moders are going to -1 flamebait this post, or +1 funny.
Any takers?
Back in my college days, I once asked my boss if I could pay rent for some unused offices. He didn't like the idea very much.

Is that site actually working the last 2 times I tried it, it froze after I entered my number. Oh well I've deactivated that line now, no point.

Btw you should seriously atleast rent san andreas, its has a LOT of content. Simply amazing.
Opps that should be 7.6 K watts damn that is hot.

But if it takes you that long to slow down, seems like you could get there faster using conventional means.
Well yes, but do you really want a 60 megawatt microwave beam shooting at you, I'd find some way to put the sail behind you. Maybe like this...
ship---sail--anchor
with a bar running between the anchor and the ship through the middle of the sail, and the sail attached to the anchor.
Though you'd still melt the anchor in no time with the microwaves. So no, I have no idea.
