Nobody's killed anyone in the name of the flying spagetti monster. It will no doubt happen one day, but until then, it is a far less corrupt vision of the universe.
Well, that solves my problem of what to do today. Thanks for the idea.
Even sub-optimal biological systems can not-change for a long time under these and other conditions;
- adaptions prevent or correct mutations - long lifespan - many breeding partners over a wide area - no predators (like sharks) - stable environment in the relevant parts (sharks that I know of do not specialize in foods for example) - large population
So it isn't suprising that some animals don't change much over time.
ps. WTF is it with the ID people spreading from Fark to here... I figured that Slashdot had somewhat of a higher standard.
Uh, no. Heat on discs is the kinetic energy of the vehicle being bled away via friction
Correct.
I do not believe that heavy braking itself has anything to do directly with mileage -- the quantity of fuel consumed per mile traveled.
Uhm. Where do you think the energy to heat the brakes comes from? Farts? It's energy that you have to put back in the system by pressing the GAS petal to get where you are going. So explain how this is not about using GAS again, when they press the GAS petal?
I have a cool machine to sell you. It's a rechargable battery hooked to a motor hooked to a generator then hooked to the battery charger. You can get motion forever and disconnect from the grid and stop paying those energy companies anything!
Braking is an indicator (heat) of taking energy out of the system in a way that prematurely loses it that isn't used overcoming resistance and friction going forward.
So uhm, read a physics book sometime or something.
Combat Boots. Sure you look like a goth poser, but I have personally spent several days in my jungle boots including showers, walks and drinking with no ill effects. (dry your socks, but otherwise the boots never let me down)
My personality does not mesh well with other humans or society in general.
My blog is where I put the crap that would disrupt my mind and abilty to function otherwise.
It's vile, full of hate for just about everything, and lots of other things.
Since I write it down, I no longer carry it around with me and can deal with the stuff that I must deal with without that crap getting in the way.
It matters little if someone reads it or not, or if it says anything or not. Just the fact that it's not cluttering up my brain anymore is what counts.
There was a game way back when on the Atari2600 called "Rocky's Boots" that presented sorting problems of objects on a conveyor belt in various factory situations.
The player took mechanizms like "not" and "or" and characteristics "round" or "filled" to make logic that would operate to sort the things.
It was a great game. I have not seen anything quite like it since.
People pick up stuff cheap all the time. For example;
- dumpster diving - rummage sales/fleamarkets - freecycle groups - student moving day in a college town
I personally gave away a color laser printer because I had to move in 2 weeks and had a tractor trailer size pile of stuff that had accumulated over 20 years that couldn't go to the new office.
The printer worked, and when one messed with it enough it worked well for about 8 pages. The company wrote it off and bought TWO newer ones they were using a couple of years before.
Yet the thing sat there and became my job to dump.
I am sure it was worth well over $1k to someone who could get it working. But had neither the time nor the patience for it (and had two other working printers already, so why bother?).
So some guy from some computer shop got it for free because he could take it that day. I am sure he made a huge profit on it.
So don't be too quick to assume someone dumping cheap stuff must have "stolen" it. It could have been dumped for lots of other reasons at very low cost and be totally legit.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, except the AIDS virus was found in samples of some dudes (again in Africa) from the 1920s.
The best hypothesis so far as it's from bushmeat usage. I.e. killing, butchering and eating monkeys.

Hersay!
He created it el dente
Everybody knows that different shapes and parts took longer to be perfect.
The fact that everything el dente suited to its environment is PROOF in FSM's greatness!

28 MPG. MPG of what? Plutonium? Is there a Mr.Fusion on the back of the thing?
There are good reasons why that 28 MPG number is a lie, and it's the Laws of Thermodynamics.
Get a clue. Sheesh.
So....
They could use the Open Records laws to get a super high res version.
Coool.
Copyright Violation = copying or distributing without permission
Trademark Violation = using _symbolism_ or _words_ too similar to a protected logo or symbol
There's no trademark violation here. Its a copyright violation.
Actually it's simple.
Lots of braking = heat on the discs, therefore worse milage.
The people that brake a lot are stepping on the gas too hard at the green lights.
Going a moderate speed and looking far ahead can cause you not to need to brake for MILES in city traffic.
Energy then does not flow out of the system via heat on the discs, but out of the system overcoming friction of the drivetrain and air resistance.
So not braking much is a symptom of other good driving habits that cause better gas milage.
Why on earth people prefer to sit stopped at a red light than coast up to it (with the chance of not having to stop) is beyond me.
People are just dumb I guess.
If you have them;

Look on the up side, it's a sign of good credit.
I shred all the checks, even the ones from the credit cards I already have just so they don't end up someplace they should not.
You can have:
127.0.0.1
But, you have to use all of the 192.168.0 block for work purposes first.
My flux capacitor overheated because the oscillation overthruster fan was pointed at it.
Nope, you aren't.

Well if you are planning on doing any activity the first few days of food should be used up normally to get things done.
When it's all squared away and you are ready to wait whatever it is out, then stop eating.
Or, eat the food that might spoil first.
In all though, what matters is using one's head and realizing that safety over the long run is something you do yourself.
I'd say outfit for deer.
.22 sight, slugs or sabot rounds.
Basically, shotgun, rifled tube (not too long)
Keep a smooth bore barrel around in case you only end up with buck or bird shot.
Good out to about 100 yards (at that distance, you shouldn't be shooting anyway as it's not defense so much as vigilantism).
Plus, in non-disaster season you can hunt with it in rifle or shotgun-only deer season.
Oops, that's "Reginal"
:)
Here's a Google link to make up for it.
Reginal Denny riot
The guy's name is "Reginald Denny" if anybody cares to search for the details.
So what?
End users get a benefit.
Most authors get a benefit.
Google gets a benefit.
That seems like pretty much an example of capitalism at it's best.
What are you, a socialist?
RIAA is nonprofit.
What is your point?

I'd suspect the desk worker saying "you must return card" is the same one that is also taking the card to a card reader somewhere.
Hotel desk CC fraud can and does exist. In fact, from the stories I have heard there are parts of the US where it is rampant.
Use a CC at the hotel, and by the time you get home there are fraudulant charges on it.
In any case, nobody in the thread has yet explained why the CC or name needs to be on the card in the first place. If it is truely there, then WTF?
Yeah. I am sure Malaysia is not a cesspool of political and voting corruption already or anything.
Oh, and they have a great civil and human rights record too!
