Good concern, poorly founded. The way that system is set up, the instant the pump powers on is going to be the instant water is moving past the CPU, simply due to the fact it is full.
While it may take a little while for the pump to ramp, the fact that water is moving at all over the processor is enough to insure that it doesn't over heat.
You may notice spikes in temp at startup, but not close to the dangerous levels you're afraid of.
First you gripe about people using cars. Then when rebuked, you blame it on city design of all things.
Automobiles have become an integrated part of American life. There is no avoiding it, there is no changing it. At least give us credit for trying to make things better by exploring our options given, oh mighty tree hugger.
Right on the money, Microsoft wants their media player free. For one reason: so they can package it with the operating system without affecting price or alerting many anti-trust laws.
There is a method to everything madness that Microsoft engages in. A business as succesfull as MS could only have a genius of some type behind the wheel, hopefully he's not as smart as the community he's computing with.
I know what you all are thinking, but no. Bill Gates is not behind the wheel of MS. If he was, XP wouldn't even exist and we all would still probably be praising the genius of Windows 98.
Ahem, being worth several billion dollars certainly isn't a sign of improperly used intelligence and skill.
I may be a little materialistic here, but money is a great way to get things done. Do you know how much Bill Gates has actually accomplished with his money? He logs a couple billion invested in charity already, and that total is quickly growing.
In my opinion, good 'ol Billy used his skill in the best way possible: gathering a resource that is effective at getting things done. It may be bias towards the fellow geek, or drunken belligerent banter, but the resource that fits that description best is money.
There is an difference between selfishness and over achieving selflesness, my friend.
I remember back in the day (back when NES was king and gas was just under a buck a gallon here in CO) when game publishers were not huge media conglamerates, but programmers who loved the games they created. Final Fantasy, Crystalis, Star Tropics, etc. all came from relatively small companies (at the time).
This is important, because it means that the resources required to make the game were in the best place they could be, in the hands of the people making the game. All the super-popular games of that time (even to date, occasionally) came from environments like this.
It's not that the creativity and innovation is gone (look at ICO, Fatal Frame), it's that the resources needed to afford such aren't where they're supposed to be.
What's really been irking me lately is the fact that EVERYONE has overlooked the bandwidth cap option in Kazaa's preferences.
I use this feature and have never had an unexpected cease (I expect things to be a little slow when I'm dl'ing linux ISOs) in my bandwidth due to Kazaa.
It's not p2p that's the problem, it's stupid people using p2p that's the source of our woes.
Well we do, but for those of us that are underage....utilizing said rooms could be quite problematic;)
Besides, what's wrong with the back seat of a car? Get any decent sedan and it's just like having a twin sized bed in the back of your vehicle.
Aside from that, the "we could be caught" factor makes the ordeal a little more hot and sweaty, which is what most people aim for when it comes to fornication;)
I think it was not only necessary, but added to the spirit of the movie.
The movie isn't about philosophy or hacking, martial arts or firearm savvy. It's about man overcoming. It's about the unknown regions of human behavior. That scene not only accentuated that, it beautified the entire notion.
For once, try thinking of a wanton show of human skin to be an example of the beauty in human behavior. It may help your thinking in many walks of life.
That my friend, is where the beauty of our most celebrated constitutional rites lies.
You may have a point, but they have an even better one. They shouldn't have to care whether or not their statements are moral or fair to anyone. PA is geared towards a certain audience, just as any other form of entertainment. You may not have found their crack as Naziism to be inappropriate, the rest of their audience (I assure you) thought it was funny as hell.
Interesting, Comcast is the top baby Bell where I come from. What state are you in? I've never heard of such problems with their service before. I wouldn't consider is Comcast's problem if I were you.
Instead, look for a local spammer; as this would be the most likely culprit of such a crime.
That demo was run off of a civilian machine accessing only unclassified material. The person running the demo probably didn't have any better clearance than an MP.
He was running WinNT and even had an instance of Winamp running.
Don't be foolish enough to believe the DoD would actually use Microsoft products for any of it's software needs.
Nothing happens, the components attached simply cease. Same with the serpentine belt.
The beauty of modern internal-combustion engines is that they aren't quite as dangerous in a failure as the old big-blocks they use to make in the 30s.
As much as I'm against racism, this man is right. Our reproductive system is a product of thousands of years of evolution. I wholely believe that if the human condition had remained to be "Survival of the Fittest" as opposed to "Equal opportunity for everyone," the human race would be completely different right now. Our "super-athletes" would be dime-a-dozen and our supermodels would be of average attractiveness.
Darwin was a very insightful man, we would do well to remember that.
Yeah, I'll agree with that, as long as the potato has a ferrous core.
Being someone who made his first Rail Gun at 13, sending potatos through brick walls is child's play;) Just wait until we start getting our hands on Quantum Mechanics books, Gauss guns will looks like pea shooters.
Then again, pea shooters are still fun as hell (ever see the look on a drop dead gorgeous 17 year old's face when hit in the ass with a small, soft, round projectile? Priceless;))
The recurring phenomenon of people calling movies they liked "crap" is all too widespread these days. The people behind these films are entertainers, not scholars or critiques. Their job, as they see it, is to provide a fun 2 hours of video pleasure--not to provide the anal Hollywood reviewers something to praise. To tell you the truth, I'd rather laugh my ass off through an extremely shitty script than suffer through it;)
Remember, people willing to present things like J&SBSB aren't the type of people you criticize because of their work, but the type of people you criticize for how fun they are to be around.
Being someone who had to completely re-build his social skills due to computer use, I am torn between agreeing and disagreeing.
I used to get the crap kicked out of me every day (literally) by kids who saw me as a threat due to my intelligence. I stopped this by withdrawing completely from any personal social interaction.
Time eventually came where I "re-introduced" myself to the world. The fact I had been a social recluse for the past 3 years gave me a whole new spin on life once I actively sought one. I wholely believe this is for the better. Having been a social recluse for so long made real social interaction a learning experience for me.
Due to that, I'm now one of the most popular people in my area. This isn't even intentional. More than likely, it is due to the extreme change in environment and need to acclimate myself.
Tough situations are much better learning and cementing tools than people realize. Had I not shut myself off for awhile in my pubescant years, I'd probably just another wasted youth in America's ghetto.
Children aren't meant to handle social situations as well as adults can. Sometimes taking them out of the social situation for a small while is the best thing to do, considering how much they'll actually learn once put back in the situation.
Also, the whole book is basicaly about child abuse sponsored by the governemnt. Interesting reading, but maybe not the ideal way to create well-adjusted officers.
I strongly disagree. Orson Scott Card did not ever have the intention of portraying a world where child abuse is sponsored by the government. It portrays a world focused on one thing: survival of the species. As much as it may be understood as child abuse, that's not the case. Orson Scott Card did a very innovative thing with Ender's Game, he put the survival of our race as a whole in the hands of a good-hearted pre-pubescent with a wit to match any debate team leader out there.
The way I see it, I'd much rather have an officer trained to ensure the survival of his fellows rather than his own. This is exactly what Ender was trained to do (albeit in an extremely subtle yet very blunt matter).
Yes, what Card prosed to be done to Ender was wrong morally. What you need to realize is that it's what needs to be done to ensure the lives of countless more children his age.
Sacrifice is needed for gain, my friend. As horrible as it may be, sometimes these sacrifices are tragic. Beauty of it? Martyrdom is easily gained by those with even the smallest amount of selflesness;)
Although biblical studies never really interested me, some of the "coincidences" that have arisen from it have.
Although I won't stand by the sources, I have seen some rather compelling and well made arguments over the book of Revelations, Job, and the Tanakh's "predictions."
After reading the bible myself a couple times out of dogged curiousity, I found some passages that aired disturbingly of our situation today. I swear on my lady's ass that some of those passages are analogies for the creation of the UN. Furthermore I could've sworn Jeremiah predicted World War 2.
Being one who still hates born agains, I think religious fervor skipped this reader. There are still alot of things about the bible that leave me skeptical, but one thing I will vouch for is the eerie similarities between some of the scenarios proposed in the bible and the current situation we find ourselves in (on the brink of WW3, UN losing it's power slowly).
Check it out, even if you're not a fan of religion, knowing the bible well makes a killer advantage on your behalf the next time that overzealous Christian next door starts preaching. Kind of sad one of the Bible's biggest uncertainties is itself;)

You know the one thing that Bush did that made me believe in him?
;)
He got gas prices to drop. I don't know about you, but that's a pretty hard thing to do. He did it with flying colors
Alternatively, you can find fun which is free of charge but within the boundaries of the law.
/.ers probably pay for that as well :-P
Yeah, like sex!
Wait wait, I'm sorry. I forgot most

I get a lot of funny looks about the no juice thing, but all the carbohydrates in a juice are sugar.
Just out of curiosity, aren't all carbo-hydrates sugars?

Nothing gets a 14 year old's attention faster than seeing some skin. Everything else, however, seems to make him even more absent minded
