That can easily be pointed at the increase in sim and server fees they tacked on shortly after their realization of the major loss of income when they axed the gambling industry.
This can easily be seen in their money market if you roll the scale back several years. They have yet to recover back to those levels. Trust me, when I say that this was not imposed by the Lindens on their own, the US and several countries were on SL's neck regarding RL cash being made out of the gambling parlors, and there was! SL blocked gambling outright, then tapered back the restrictions once they realized there were some forms that were not regulated, or flat out ignored. But the damage was already done to their financial structure.
These days, they tiered their sim fees, added on a couple more levels of land ownership (which costs more in the long run for less land, go figure) and started to get mean with the porn industry.
The creature biting its own hand in spite of it being full of food. SL won't last much longer with that kind of behavior, especially in this recession.
First, this undermines the motto of Google: Do No Evil. It shows that they are starting to get the Swelled Head Syndrome, thinking that they have the most power by the massive databases they have compiled. Wrong way of thinking!
Second, CEO's do NOT make such comments unless they are permitted to do so by their assistants. Same goes for any leader of any company or country. He overshot this mandate badly by making this comment.
Officially, he just walked into a minefield almost completely filled with pratfalls and booby traps concerning personal privacy.
I think Google should issue a retraction and make a personal apology, SOONEST!
Space...The final frontier to make money. These are the Voyages of the VSS Enterprise...it's 30-minute a week mission as a tourist barge, to seek out people with motion sickness, to fill up as many barf bags as possible!
Barb wire can be laced just under the top of the wall, and be observant of any narrow trails leading up to and around the inside perimeter of the wall.
I'd suggest that you open your eyes further more, look for odd things that appear out of place.
Considering the lack of attention to the details of improving rural service, I feel that they do not deserve a single nickle of gov't funding.
Fact is, they got a lot of gall for asking for more money after the stunning YTD they posted on the market, both wireless and wired.
Until they can show REAL (as in purchase orders for equipment, permits for installation of same, they really do not deserve any outside funding at all.
They've been living off the fat for this long, I think that it would be high time to put them on some lean rations for a while.
The five-finger discounter. One operation bought two of the $3,000 beasts and one walked. They got another and it walked too! The last one they got I got them a cable lock and LoJack service. I slapped LoJack stickers all over both of them. That put the kibosh on the thefts.
If it is the new BSG, are you frackin' kidding me? That has to be one of the most intense sci-fi shows to hit the airwaves for a long time.
The original BSG had its ups and downs, and good episodes. Sure, it had 70's cliche' in a lot of their terms and props, but the overall show kept you in your seat.
They just reinvented RADAR for pity's sake! What is 802.xx? 2-5GHZ Microwave frequencies! It's rather like reinventing the wheel, only this time they used millimeter band, low powered microwaves to do it with. Hooray they are able to use it as a poor man's license-free RADAR system, I'll give them credit for that.
Weight restrictions vs performance. The envelope is filled to 25% capacity with helium, then released. As the balloon ascends, the gas expands, filling the envelope completely. Once it reaches altitude, it will stay there until either the membrane fails or programmed cutter severs the the tether, letting the payload descend back to the ground. A release valve would prolong the flight, but with amateur rides like this, they usually let it ride up until it bursts at a calculated altitude from the overpressure. 100K feet is impressive and the video is stunning.
Battery usage is fine and all that, but the current rage is thermal management. This has gotten more than one manufacturer (literally and figuratively) in hot water. The biggie was Apple with their 175-200F Intels in their MacBook Pros. All they had to say was don't run them so hard.
Heh.
Next you got Dell and their weenie-cooking laptops that seared some poor Padre's phallus, giving him 2nd degree burns. No comment from Dell's higher-ups... What a way to make it right with the Lord guys...
And last, but not the least, HP and their tabletop scorching units that don't seem to quit cooking until some poorly designed component that can't stand the heat finally either cooks or fall off the board. No comment from them either, not even a canned statement with some instructions about how to keep your laptops cool.
Please define high value content. Is it the value the ack-ack's place upon what they consider to be high value, or is the the value the artists place on their works?
Do you have a proper transfer switch and a control panel that exercises the generator? Usually it has a biweekly cycle that runs the unit for 15 minutes to warm the oil, then shuts it off. The really good control panels have a test cycle option that cuts out curb power and cuts in the generator in a predetermined manner. This saves wear and tear on the main breakers, preserving them so that they will do their job properly when The Event happens.
If not, I would strongly recommend getting in touch with your generator's vendor and upgrade your control center for it.
I've heard of a 25KW generator blowing it's generator with a roar due to poorly bonded armature wiring.
TWT amps have been used in microwave systems since the 2nd world war. The use of TWT in satellites are recent, as in 25-30 years ago. The NSA's LACROSSE and the new ONYX satellites use TWT amps in the finals on their radar systems. The Soviet ROARSAT's probably use them as well, or something similar, they love to overbuild their stuff.
Hell, the YF-12a used 2 TWT's in tandem in its Hughes AN/ASG-18 radar, putting out over 10MW of raw power.
But they are power gobblers, The YF-12A's ate over 40KVA of juice to operate.
This started up back in December of last year according to the forum posts. To top it off, Steve the administrator, shut off the research module since then. Why the stir now? Plura is the one that needs to be hammered that provided the software for this.
Well do you? That's the Fat Lady tuning up to sing the funeral dirge for the telecoms death grip on the wireless industry.
Let the blade of the guillotine fall and fall again! Make them feel the icy bite of the steel on their flesh, realizing the cold hard fact: Don't piss off the paying public, you may wind up in the ditch.

Let's make a map using the White House and fill it with zombies.
No, wait, it's already been done in real life.
Nevermind...
A couple of things wrong with this picture:

Fixed it better!

If you are referring to BSG'80, yeah.

Put Les Paul up in the lineup for GH. He deserves a stage call.
Don't let it stand out in the sun too long or it'll ferment. Last thing you need is a bunch of drunk bees and a crashed hive.
One company gouging you is a thief. It takes two to make for a price fixing conspiracy. thus AntiTrust, thus the Sherman Act.
That's why the FCC is up in arms about the whole ordeal.
It's time to shoot the torp that blasts their little battle station out of the sky.

Fine, we'll shoot the hoaxers to the moon. That should settle their hash once and for all.
Please keep the rovers away from the actual landing sites and the trails the astronauts made. Those are a piece of history, why ruin them?
