Well thanks guys, but come on. $15 or a free bumper? After 18+ months?
I already got my free bumper just after I got my iPhone 4. It was, and still is, a piece of shit. It completely ruined the look and feel/smoothness of the phone, messed up the top jack so that the audio aux out to my car was useless and made getting the phone out of my pocket a nightmare. After a few days I ripped it off my iPhone and literally threw it out the window of my car in a fit of rage. It's in a ditch on the side of a country road. It played out like a scene from Penny Arcade.
Perhaps you could convert old school drive-in movie theater screens into reflectors.
Or better yet, adapt them into some kind of capacitor to store the laser energy until needed.
But you would need to be very careful with your targeting. I seem to remember an experiment in the mid '80s using similar, albeit much less advanced, technology that caused untold damage to at least one network's television relay satellite. The same incident reportedly destroyed or severely damaged several consumer televisions throughout North America.
Because you can't make fun of Neil Armstrong, von Braun or Rutan. Except, of course, for their hair cuts. They are engineers after all.
Look at all of these 100's of posts you're talking about. The ones rated at +2 are all jokes, or jokes of old jokes. Or requests to end his TV show. The man can literally be made fun of thousands of different ways, time and time again, and people will eat it up.
What are you going to say about Neil Armstrong that is funny, or honestly hasn't been said before?
And yes, you appear to be in a worse mood than myself, which is saying a lot.
Seriously, pilots almost never say over. I'm not exactly sure when this stopped, but I never used over at the end of my transmissions.
Usually pilots start every request with who they're calling and their callsign, either full or short (on the West coast of the US you can usually get away with just your make and last three characters after your initial transmission to a controller. If they are getting instructions or information from a controller they usually end their acknowledgement with their callsign. Examples:
(Cessna 182) N12345: "Seattle Center, Cessna one two three four five, with you, level four thousand" Seattle Center: "Cessna one two three four five, radar contact, local altimeter two niner niner two" N12345: "two niner niner two, Cessna three four five"
Seattle Center: "Delta six seven eight, descend and maintain flight level two two zero" (737) Delta 678: "Down to two two zero, Delta six seven eight"
The real question is: Can this be used to eliminate that terrible noise that happens when two users try to transmit on the same frequency at the same time?
Because everybody and their dog in Portland is/has been buying a Prius (or other hybrid), and the State isn't getting what it used to from the gas tax. Of course our vehicle registration fee is a joke compared to our neighbors to the North (the State of Washington).
1) When you go to vote, you are given the *option* of entering a long string 2) Your votes are tied to this long string 3) After counting is complete, county posts a public list of each long string that voted for each option/candidate 4) Voter can verify their string appears for each of their votes
It's optional, it's public, it can be verified. My long string could be something like "zamboni1138_wammalammadingdong". Probably would not conflict with anyone else in my voting area, or my county or even my state. And if it did, maybe on my printed receipt it could print my long string and kindly tell me I'm now "zamboni1138_wammalammadingdong (2)" or something. I personally don't care if people know how I vote and I think I should have the option of it being public.
I know where you're going with this, and I couldn't be more excited. "Mars Dust", "The Red Bang", "God of War", "Red Dust", "Crystal Red"... Sure it costs $10M a hit, but holy shit, you'll feel like you're on Mars. Then the Asian and Mexican gangs will get involved, take over the "business", and suddenly we'll have a drug war in space.
So roughly $2.9M per turbine. Does that include shipping? Probably not. How long until I get a positive return on my investment? 10 years, 20? Come on man, I've got my bank on the other line.
I had this same attack happen on our company's PBX about five years ago. The CLEC providing us Internet and voice (Integra Telecom, worst phone company ever) forgot to put a password on the admin account of the voice mail box. One day MCI fraud calls us about the $10,000 bill we had racked up over the weekend. Because we had multiple voice channels (seven at the time) the attackers could place three outbound calls at the same time, which easily came to over 6,000 minutes in just two days.
But all joking aside, this "roadable aircraft" has a range of 400nm and costs $200K. Compare that with a Cessna 162 SkyCatcher which will get you 470nm range at $120K. So the roadable costs you an additional $80K.
I don't have kids, but I would suggest some of the Timothy Zahn novels. I have only read his Star Wars books and they keep my simple mind entertained. Not that I'm saying your kids are simple or anything. The Thrawn Trilogy was the first of his I read and I enjoyed his vision of the post-Emperor period. The Hand of Thrawn series and Outbound Flight were also enjoyable.
Just because your machines sits in the DMZ of your firewall *does not* mean that you have open ports from outside your firewall to your machine (inbound tunnel). I have plenty of machines sitting in my DMZ which have no external IP nor any open ports from the internet to the machines and have never had a problem. Yes, they run Windows, as well as Linux and BSD.

Microsoft didn't give up the version numbers after Windows NT 4. I've posted this before, so here goes again:
Windows NT 4 = Windows NT 4
Windows 2000 = Windows NT 5
Windows XP = Windows NT 5.1
Windows Vista = Windows NT 6
Windows 7 = Windows NT 6.1
Don't believe me? Open up your favorite browser in Windows and check the User Agent string.
"...including a great flood that wiped out humanity."
Jesus, there was another one of those? How many does that make for humanity?

And of course you say yes, which is when Clippy brings up these pics.
And Verizon just sold all that FiOS, DSL and landline business to Frontier.
And yet here in the US we still allow the Dixie Flag to be flown. Once you have lost the war you should not be able to continue using your flag.

What about if:

I'll just toss that out there.

You mean PDT, right? 9:18 PST = 10:18 PDT
So roughly $2.9M per turbine. Does that include shipping? Probably not. How long until I get a positive return on my investment? 10 years, 20? Come on man, I've got my bank on the other line.
Speedo Jefferson, makes Jefferson D'Arcy look like a chump.
Are you sure that's right?
I thought it was:
Windows NT 4 = Windows NT 4
Windows 2000 = Windows NT 5
Windows XP = Windows NT 5.1
Windows Vista = Windows NT 6
Windows 7 = Windows NT 6.1

Not in this case. Both of these aircraft will get about 20nm/gal on 100LL.
That was a good one.

And where is Mr. Moller during all of this?
Imagine how much less congestion there would be on our highways if we all drove office chairs to work.
Yes, I do understand that semi trucks would be an issue.
Posting to say that I moderated you Funny, then realized that "[I've] already posted something in this discussion."
There are two X's in Rolexx.
Weren't those cigarette packages? I think they were.
