I do user support of win 98 and MS Office, and the controlls arent the same across all of Offices programs. AS I recall, outlook is horribly inconsistant in how things are done, compred to the rest of the Office suite. ANd if you go from 98 to XP, they change all the interfaces around, generally for no good reason as far as i can tell. Walking users through doing something that they used to do on their own is really annoying, especialy when at the end, they wind up with the same interface screen as they had before, only there are 4 extra steps to get there. For a comparison, try setting up a new exchange server mailbox in outlook 98, then try it under xp.
I dont even bother trying to explain Microsofts stupidity. My responses now are , well, its a bad design to confuse you and keep me employed, and It wasnt my decision to force this change on you, sorry.
Who want to learn the ins and outs of mac software a litlle, but who cant afford an additional 2000$ box to run it on. If I can throw this on my current dual boot linux/windows machine, I'll be a happy man. Until I saw this article (I haven't read yet) it never even occoured to me this was possible. One more OS to torture my little AMD box with.
I work in phone support, and normally have a 1 ear headset with music, radio whatever playing on it, and use the other ear to answer the phone. Usually it's no problem. I tried to take a user call while this thing was playing in one ear, and the user on the other ear. WOW. Totally confused, had to turn it off and ask them to repea ttheir questions. I was trying to imagine what this is like with this going on all the time.
Actually, they were worried about the second bomb going off. If the first one fails, no problem, but if the second one fails, your high enough to cause major damage if you fall. Presumeably by the time the third one goes off, youve got a little more time to allow for mechanical difficulties.
Use a hemispherical plate, explode them at teh focus, enough of the energy pushes on the plate to make this worthwile. The key here is BIG OVERKILL not efficient.
I have NO qualifications to make a wild guess about this, but: Im guessing you could hang them, say one in the us, one in south america, as long as the points are eqidistant from the equator. However, as for the catastrophic failure, i think ithis would increase the problem, like if one side of a cable bridge snaps, the remaing side cant handle the load anyway. Some of the other ideas with rotating cables might be a better idea.
thre was an article in discover or scientific american about this. They hat a guy who had been blinded nearly from birth for like 40 years, just restored his vision. Lot of weirdness. He still cant get the hang of the eye things, dosent understand depth perception intuitivly, and optical illusions just dont work on him. REally interesting.
What happens when these things are shut off and the quake dosent happen? Or when they dont work? You KNOW some idiot will sue eiter way. Also, what about false alarms? How long before people start ignoring this? Hey, dont get me wrong, i think its fantastic and should be put into use immediately, but these days......
My mom leased one of our phones in the house for like 20 years. IT was a fun deal. It was like 25 cents a month, and they couldnt raise it because the contrat was so old. We used to drag on of their poor linemen out ther every couple of months cause the dog chewed through the phone, and they had to replace it free. Serves em right.
I go jogging, i lose like 3 pounds in 1/2 hour. I weigh 250, so its not that signifigant an amount, but its till fairly impressive for 30 minutes of exercise. Ill usually get 2 of that back within a day or so.
Step 1: Work neekid. Step 2: Always have Pr0n going in the corner of the screen. Step 3: Viola, a 3rd finger to hold the ctrl keys with. Sorry, only works if your male.
Ok, now lets see if the moderators are smart enough to tell the difference between humor and a troll.
Did these evolve over time into the infamous dropbears? I had an uncle of mine who was eaten by a dropbear. Very tragic. He had just discoverd the austrailin yowlie was the reason for the extinction ot the thylacine, which was actually an introduced species(they escaped from the chupacabras, whou used them for pets and guard animals.)

This isn't a first post, is a legit answer to the question.
Go ahead and mod me down, or do you have a sense of humor?
Problem solved.
Hey mods, this is humor, not a troll. See the difference?

No, not that kind you stoner.
Now remember mods, theres trolling, then theres HUMOR. THe above is an example of HUMOR. Understand?
However, if you could find me a brunette with a soft hart beat, I think we could work out an arrangement.

Actually, this looks like fun to do to coworkers.

I always wound up in the book section, or the toy section. I knew right where i was and where I was going. ;)

Really. ANd what they are expecting to happen is a MAGNETIC pole shift, not the whole crust thing happening.
