Most of the things we call vegetables are fruit. If it is the fruit of a plant, meaning, comes from the pollination of a flower to yield fleshy covered seeds, it is a fruit. Zucchini = fruit, broccoli = vegetable, okra = fruit, cabbage = vegetable
Ice breaker at a bar?
Respect for precision ancient analog technology?
It's pretty cool?
I see no reason for my fiancee's diamond, but I promise you, it's needed.

this first post is something i've seen now for many weeks. it is always the same, with the same cosmonaut mistake. and sure enough, several posts correcting the mistake. my question, is this some running gag like 'in soviet russia'? just trying to keep up with any/. inside jokes. sorry no caps as i'm eating a whopper with the other hand. smile
While you are correct in terms of modern weapons with limited fissionable material, if you have enough WG Uranium, you can make a "gun type" weapon. In this case two masses of fissionable material is kept seperated within the round. When you want it to go off, you slide them into one another while containing them in a material known to reflect neutrons and add some more neutrons to the mix. BANG!

I've never paid $35 and hour for a repair of anything. It is either free (I do it myself or "thanks neighbor") or the quote is like $75 an hour plus parts (nearly the price of the thing being repaired). I say quote because I have never followed through with a repair. I just buy a new whatever it is.
But this is secret tracking, which the tracked has no idea s/he being monitored. If you see a car following you around, at least you can confront them.
As a child, I would go to Mammoth Mountain with my family to camp and fish. I loved the trees there. One year, as an adult, I took my girl friend to see how beautiful it was. I took her to heart lake and all around I saw that the trees were dead. I asked a park ranger, "wtf?" He told me that the volcano was producing so much carbon dioxide that it was killing the trees. I said, "wtf? CO2 is food for trees". He said, "you're right. But in this case it's too much of a good thing."
I'm not on board with the whole "man-made climate change" guys and I post this simply to educate. I personally believe if there is warming, it's because we're at the end of an ice age (thanks for the mod down).
You know what I don't like about German toilets? The fact that your feces drops onto a porcelain plateau and not into water. Now granted you don't get the occasional "splash back" from the American style, but you do get a much more "fragrant" experience and guaranteed skid marks. Too graphic?
Funny, when I read the OS Defense Kit posting, I immediately thought of "defense against legal action" not "defending oneself from physical attack"... Guess I've been reading too much/.
So I'm a conservative and enjoy laughing with Limbaugh at those pesky libs. One his show the other day, he was demonstrating Siri. He asked it some questions, blah blah. Siri failed on more than one question, seemed slow to get the question right, Rush had to ask multiple times, etc. It seemed to me to be quite annoying. Rush kept going, "wait, let me try this..." I wasn't impressed. It seemed like more trouble then it was worth. Basically, what I'm saying is, I don't get it.
A laptop has replaced my desktop. In fact, I'll probably never buy another desktop. I will buy a monitor or two and a mouse and keyboard to use my laptop as a desktop, but never another desktop computer.
I thought this too, until I spent some time in the airport people watching. I was flying to Ukraine and I sat next to a gaggle of older women (late 40's, early 50's) and two of them had ipads. The other four women could not stop commenting on how they had to have one because these other two where able to show their photos and emails from their beaus, and maps and information relating to the company this woman's son was considering an offer from. And then photos of him and his awards and newspaper articles about how well his school was doing in football.
Watching that interaction completely changed my mind about the lifespan and usefulness of tablets. I still don't own one, but now I understand their market.

I thought 7-11 had the Slurpee?
I thought it was industry standard to just use the magic 8-ball. Maybe I'm ahead of the curve?
Is it possible to mod someone down below -1?
I love to put shredded mozzarella cheese on my fries - and lots of it. Smile

Simple solution... bring back the cow catcher. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_(locomotive)
Obviously! Didn't your mother tell you not to speak to strangers?
Guess I'm buying a Nook...

You can add one more user to that list - or did you already count me?
mmmm, bacon panties.....
I was going to say, "I don't know how bombarding iron with x-rays is going to create dinosaurs," but you beat me to it.
Don't know who Jack K. is, but I sure wish for the spirit of Deke Slayton right about now.

Just a little FYI. The P3 card design was to stop AMD from being pin compatible with Intel.

Sorry you're in pain. "Its" is an exception to the rule of possession and we forget. What's painful for me is: there, their, and they're...
