Nope, thats not one of the benefits of the Internet.
That money is my money, and frankly I could care less about people living in the country. They buy their houses for 1/6th or less what it costs me to buy a house around Boston. They don't commute one or two hours each way to work.
They choose to live a life where they live, and they give up culture, access to things like broadband, etc. Thats their choice. I choose to pay more for my daily life in exchange for those benefits.
It pisses me off to no end to think that ONE PENNY of my hard earned money goes to support that infrastructure anywhere else. Even out the cost of living across the country by taking that government mandated burden off our backs, and make people pay their share. If that means you can't get by living in the country, so be it. Move to a city. Maybe more of America's cities won't be festering piles of feces, maybe community will start cropping up again.
I'm not sure why that was modded up, as its genereally wrong.
To be more accurate, bone loss and muscular atrophy aren't problems in space, they're problems when you leave space. They don't degrade because you're in space, they degrade because you don't need them.
There's NO evidence that medically someone who lived in 1/3g and stayed there would have any more problems than here.
In zero G, sure some muscles will atrophy, the ones you don't need. Your skeleton weakens, because it doesn't NEED to be as strong.
I know several art directors, and even in VERY big markets like NY and Boston, no one is entering new art director jobs that highly paid any more.
80k is a very high salary for that position around Boston, at least.
The only people making more than that in creative positions are.com holdouts -- people who had their salaries raised three years ago who haven't left their jobs yet.
Thats why HD transfers are done with 16bit per channel 2k full-frame scans, when you crop the soft edges of the frame, the result image is pretty close to HD's 1920 pixels across.
No matter what the optics, 11MP is a good amount beyond what nromal color 35mm film is capable of doing.
11MP is, generally, closer to the smaller medium format sizes, 6x6/6x7/6x9. Drum scans of 35mm film is often done at 4k resolution, so very closely matching the 4064x2704ish resolution of 11 megapixel cameras, but the film itself generally can't hold details that fine.
But its worth noting that 802.11* is in open frequency ranges, and if you have a amateur radio operators license, these power levels are perfectly legal. Max power at that range I can legally broadcast is 2500w, which will cook you from across the room in short order.
There's no good reason to, however. These use lousy transmitters, and S/N goes way downhill as you boost power levels. Quadrupling the power could end up cutting your speeds in half at the expense of a bit more distance.
Its not. He may not be able to discern significant differences in the engineering of your car from a photo, but someone whose life is designing cars very well may be able to.
Say I was on a tour of the factory your DOHC engine was being made in, and I am making pushrod engines. I'm a mechanical engineer, say, who has devoted his life to making engines. The photo of your engine on the assembly line where I can see the timing chain wrapping around two gears at the heads may say something pretty damn important to me, that you clearly are synchronizing your valves from above, not below. If I hadn't thought about that before, thats huge.
Maybe I can see a detail of how you are running the intake plumbing that is keeping your intake charge cooler. Thats something I can easily get from a photo, especially if your car is on an assembly line and I can see the routing of the plumbing.
Hubble isn't a few miles directly above the ISS. If its anything but an orbit directly above the ISS, its *hard* to move it.
The real universe doesn't work like star trek. You can't put rockets on the Hubble, point it in the direction of the ISS, and fly it there. When the two orbits don't match pretty damn closely, it takes less energy to bring it back down and relaunch it than to change orbits.
Same reason Columbia couldn't have flown to ISS. It takes MASSIVE amounts of energy to change orbits like that. Entire external tanks worth of fuel levels of energy.
Alpine's coming out with one later this year. You don't slam it into the head unit, but when you plug the iPod in, its control and display get transferred to the head unit.
You know the idea that we'll run out of oil in 2040 is an unproven theory, right?
Its a good theory, based on hard science, but there's pleanty of evidence thats been found that suggests its not such an accurate theory.
The truth is, we've got no idea how much oil is around. There's even doubt in some corners whether or not oil is a replenishable resource of active biological origin.
It seems to me right now if you cut the IT labor force in half, half being the people who were truly qualified for the job they had in the dot com era, and half that wasn't. (Its probably more like 2/3 in that bucket, but whatever), 10% of the former group is finding jobs with no problem, and 10% of the latter group isn't.
The really good developers I know who have gotten laid off in the last couple months haven't been having and problems finding new work. I have a couple friends who have commented lately about how they expected it to be hard and in the process of looking started being a lot more picky, because things weren't as bad as they'd heard.
Maybe some parts of the country are different... this is the metro Boston area...

"Hi, Miss Flight Attentant? Can you move my seat so I'm behind that bald gentleman up in row 7?"
And then they'd go to jail.
I may not lock my windows, but you better believe you're going to get arrested if you walk into my house and try to lock them for me.
Actually it seems like its full of incorrect statements for ignorant ways to convince yourself you aren't illegally circumventing the RIAA.
And on top of that the fool who wrote it used the word "kewl".
Damn, I've been stuck using winblows at work for four years and never knew that.
/. any more...
And to think they say there's never any interesting stuff on
The real value of that isn't for rich-text e-mails. In enterprise apps, its the ability to cut n paste Word documents directly into a web form.
I'm not sure why that was modded up, as its genereally wrong.

And what? Push the cost of your vendetta on the companies you trick into sending catalogs to him?
I'm not sure why thats insightful...

Do some google searching on orbital mechanics.
Bringing something down is easy. Doing anything else is really, really, really hard.
How are you going to see the porn with it all moving around all the time?
Back in my day, you could actually cure all the ones you'd get that way!
And neither does he.
Thats different. In IE you can define an undecorated pop-up window as a modal dialog, beyond the standard three ones.
Handy when you are querying for information, for example, and you don't want the user to "lose" the window.
Not a standard, but its something users want.
Off the top of my head, I think its window.openDialog() or something like that.
And why does that not mean mythtv is buggy?
:)
If it doesn't work 100% of the time, its buggy. Thats what a bug is

I got my two groups backwards.
I'm not sure how true that is.

ah... wait... nevermind.
