i'm definitely smelling what you're stepping in. i used to be a WD back in the 40mb days. Eventually I became a Quantum guy, then switched to Maxtor, then switched to deathstar when maxtor bought quantum. After IBM started sucking i had what i thought was a forever and ever with Seagate until a 1.5tb part died in my NAS and they dropped the 5 year warranty. Now it's back to a torrid affair with WD's jasmine-scented asshole, but who knows where i'll be in a month?
there's been 127 shuttle flights and 2 explosions. If once every 63 times you drove your car to work it blew up, killing your whole family, that's not really that safe at all.
relatively safe compared to "how it used to be", but "how it used to be" was we travelled a lot farther with a lot less.
i give credit to NASA for innovating under ever tighter purse strings, and unfortunately its the manned flights that are impacted the most.
sorry the NASA channel can't hold your attention like Starship Troopers, Doctor Who, or Jack Bauer killing space terrorists, but this is what space travel is about. it's expensive, dangerous, careful, and this time, really shitty.
by "very intense", it doesn't mean killing yourself it means "target heart rate". between target heart rate and maximal heart rate is the fat burning zone. the eliptical machine tells me this on the little electronic graph when my fat hands sweat onto the galvanic bp reader.
I know this is just a project in its infancy, and given the recent intimacy of Uganda-Chinese relations, would a Googlebox built in by Chinese contractor be able to look up topics like Democracy or demonstration? Question Box has powerful potential; i wonder how vulnerable the box answers are to coercion, and whether deployment will be hindered by increasing foreign influence.
in photo class, people that would turn in photos of graffiti were given marks on the artistic elements of a photograph of the wall, rather than the paint. photography of a work of art is a representation what has been laboured over by an artist. In this case, the medium is not the message.
this 2.3% in 07/08 is in proportion to "Investment and other income increased by 48%, mainly due to the bank interest generated from The Portrait Fund. " (p.18).
you'll need that crap wether you use a spotting scope or a mirror lens.
any mirror lens under a grand i've seen will need ring adaptors to fit different bayonets: i doubt any russian lensmaker will license the EOS ring and electronic contacts, for example.
i've seen standard focal lengths for mirrors at 500 and 800mm. to get 1200 you'll still need to use a teleconverter. mirror lenses also typically start at F/8, and the teleconverter will squeeze the aperture down further.
why would you spend $90,000 (the actual MSRP) on one if you were?
because those 1200mm, $90,000 lenses are all hand made by Canon. Sports Illustrated owns one, for example. If you do any wildlife photography it's pretty damn hard to get close to many animal in their natural habitat. it's not too hard to see how 1200mm focal length has uses. Like most other lenses, there's a niche in which it thrives in, and it just doesn't happen to be in the small, man-made stadiums you're used to.
I doubt the lens that has held the "Longest Prime" title for over 15 years was designed specifically for paps. people without $90,000 could get passable 1200mm action with a sighting scope, ring adaptors and some multipliers (probably f/11). No need for a paparazzi to plunk down almost a hundred thousand if tabloids are printing iphone photos.
The Blazer and the Disco have no hybrid equivalents. Look at the illusion created by Toyota: the hybrid Highlander looks almost the same as the gas-only Highlander. both benefit from the greenwash even though only one of them is "green". Basically everybody that drives a Toyota benefits from the goodwill achieved with Toyota having a Prius in their lineup.
Through slight of marketing, toyota has turned an untenable product (leviathan class SUV) into something green.
Toyota makes more money off the Greenwashing effect of selling the Prius with the Hybrid Synergy Drivetrain. the brand is so friendly now when you see a Toyota Kluger/Highlander fill up its 72L gas tank, it's perceived as a hipper choice than buying a Trailblazer or Land Rover.
i agree that American Auto should suck it. The timing around the toyota patents sucks though.
Feet dragging patents may be great for the bottom line and act as some sort of poetic justice, but the patents retard widespread deployment of hybrid vehicles and chokes further development of the technology. by the time some patents would expire (e.g. 20 years), our window to affect climate change may have past.
at least Toyota banks mad cash on their prius in the mean time.
high Impulse speeds (0.90g+) subject the starship to relativistic speeds. Federation protocols recommend avoiding high impulse travel except in distress or emergency situations. the computers' chronometer should be resynchronised to federation subspace timing beacons when possible.
as a followup, here is the OAKORealtimeSmile Recognition technology probably being employed in the worker scanning. according to the sparse sites the system can operate without calibration.
