Saturn is near it's highest tilt towards the earth now, providing the best view of it's rings. astronomy.comI'll be getting out the 6-inch for both Saturn and Jupiter if it would only clear up!
Please forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but what about using overhead projector optics with a regular tv? Reasonably self-contained optics, has the focusing hardware, and if you're lucky, you might get one of those fancy roll-around carts that conjures up images of elementary school hallways...:)
Yep, I think we caught 'im. Slashdot's search leaves a LOT to be desired... (key words actually showing up in the results would be nice...) Otherwise we'd have some proof.:)
Now, understanding that this is terrible offtopic, I feel as though it is the perfect time to ask a question that has been nagging me for quite a while. After reading the posts below, I may even call it a peeve. Here goes: I was under the impression that when refering to differences in speech in the same language due to reigon, it was known as a dialect as opposed to an accent. I thought an accent refers to differences in speech due to a different language. Please let me know if I am correct in being peeved when hearing that different British "accents" are being spoken in different reigons of England. I wouldn't want a peeve to go unjustified.:)
I think I'd rather suck down a cigarrette than lick ant hormones. Funny, I think I'll go out for a smoke now...

I agree. However, most people aren't as smart as we are. How about the people that are artificially inseminated with multiple embrios, hoping for one to implant, only to find that ALL SEVEN have implanted. They then go on to dis-allow reduction to one, citing religious beliefs. They then go on to fuck up SEVEN lives. This is most obviously an isolated incident, yet I feel it can bring up many ties to cloning due to it's foundation on Ignorance and Hypocricy. Which is what the lawmakers are trying to do, as well as people who would do the things we are hypothesizing here. I agree with the poster above, that regulation may be necesary, but not an ignorant all-encompasing ban.
Oh, by the way, when was the last time a law was actually gotten rid of?
Unixtime is stored as signed... when plugging that big of a number in:"6969696969", it over-runs the positive number range and can create a negative number in memory... try plugging a negative number into a localtime(), and you can get a date previous to 1970.
Ultima 6:
I liked the magic 2-headed horse that you could ask to join the party. It just so happens that he could carry a lot, and was invisible, but wasn't very resilient to attack. Since he was so strong, i let him carry the air balloon that you're attempting to make for about half the game. The horse would get stuck every once in a while, and well, since he was INVISIBLE, this was difficult to tell. So, one day, i realized that he wasn't on the party list anymore. I find out that he had gotten stuck, then killed by a troll or something. Did i mention he was INVISIBLE? just try and find your balloon, on a dead, invisible horse some time in the woods. Damn! heh heh. Ultima 6 gets my vote for the best ever. Perhaps it was just because this was the first game that gave me that 'whole world' feeling.:)
Wouldn't taking momentum from photons through reflection/refraction slow the photons, therefore slowing the relative time? If there were a solar sail big enough, it wouldn't appear to move at all! Nevermind, it would probably just equalize with the gravity well of earth (if that's where we're viewing it from...) and appear only minutely slower than normal sattelites. Hee hee. A tiny bit of mis-understanding can go a long way.:)
Heinlein's Orphans of the Sky was about a huge ship
containing a community that had forgotten they were in a
ship, untill the control room was discovered by a curious teen.
A short, great read. Great socialogical thoughts as well.
I remember a while ago, (forgive me if I don't have a quote) Microsoft expressing it's views against Napster's file sharing. That's not surprising, most people I have talked agreed that sharing copyrighted matirial it is wrong, and oppose it on a moral basis, but do it nonetheless. Anyway, how do you explain the built-in ability to do so in WinMP? (There is an options to allow "Internet Sites" access to you "Media Library.") Is this not the type of 'File Sharing' Microsoft openly spoke out against?
This is not a well developed idea, but i've been envisioning a gnutella-type sharing community where links are shared and pages mirrored. (i usually think of something like this every time a site is slash-dotted...:) a plugin in your browser could keep track of where you go, and what is to be found there. Then searches could be run against those individual db's by those in the community. Generous individuals could choose to mirror sites that you think are popular or overloaded. Kinda like google, i guess, but with a community of people doing this, it could be more scaleable (possibly directly proportional to the growth of the web.) Please lemme know it y'all think this is lame, or potentially feasible.

I agree, but 3.5ghz ain't!

Because they forgot to use 'diff' in the first place. :P
Does anyone know of any earlier Sci-Fi involving exo-skeletons? I can't really think of anyone other than Heinlein...
Crap! you have Futurama? All I have is weed and shrooms. Oh wait... I've got The Prisoner! :)

SPIDERMAN: the best of both... radioactive, yet witty as well. :)
Can we start a flame war? Nevermind, I'm sleepy.

I sure haven't...

I think that's patented by Norton. That would explain the slow progress made by virus technology.
