it's not against the law to fire water out of a hose at an aircraft.
Although, I'd prefer to take a lesson from history and start deploying barrage balloons. The hazard isn't so much the balloon itself, but the tether. Particularly for a small UAV.
...ask yourself this: would you really want 1600 tons of radioactive potential death rolling through your city just waiting for an errant snowflake to land on the line to derail the whole kaboodle?
Sayitdoesn'thappen. Go on. I dare you. Those were just a few I dug out from a cursory google search.
oh give me back the super socket 7, those boards were amazing. I was doing obscene things with K6/II processors, things that would turn your hair white. At 575MHz.
OK, if someone claims to be able to find water with a stick, takes your money then doesn't find water, are they committing fraud?
Let's test this: Did they *guarantee* to find water? If yes, then fraud happened. If no, then fraud did not happen. Why? Because they only claimed to be able to find water, they did not guarantee that there would be water under the test area. HOWEVER, if it is known that water is under the test area (and this can be proved contemporaneously with the dowsing), then fraud did occur because that would prove that either the stick operator knows the stick is broken or someotherhow malfunctioning, or his method is hokum as either way he FAILED to detect what he claimed to be able to detect yet it was present at the material time.
(up until 1951 witchcraft was illegal in England, since then it has been the burden upon the accuser not to apply an ambiguous label to someone's behaviour, but to prove that his actions were of a malicious and criminally fraudulent nature, ie a medium stacking tarot cards).
PIII "E"* series processors always annoyed the fuck out of me, every time I came across one I was like "Oh, here we fucking go again!" because that "E" guaranteed trouble.
*"E" being early Coppermine stamps, not the Core series Pentiums.
You just called half of fourteenth Century Europe racist.
The half that survived - most likely were. They went on to perform the most horrible atrocities on each other and throughout the rest of the known world over the next six hundred years.
dunno about your cats but mine won't touch Mekong cobbler (a type of catfish the Vietnamese farm in massive numbers and sell at a rate which no other nation would find economically viable). Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it, you just have to not overpower it with flavour. Just a dash of cracked pepper, sprig or two of dill, lightly grill, jobbed.
http://hal.archives-ouvertes.f... three SE England estuaries all showing elevated heavy metal concentrations in sediment. Shellfish concentrate HMs for example lead and mercury, fish concentrate mercury in particular. Up the food chain, bioavailability increases. This is why fish farms regularly test for heavy metals and why you won't find any near industrial effluent outlets such as pretty much anywhere South of The Wash or East of Brighton.
yeeeah... just don't get caught fishing them out of the Serpentine (there is a company does it under some sort of royal charter), but you're OK trapping them in the Thames.
Top Gear series 20 episode 3. They converted a ghost town into a grand prix circuit. After having a drag race on an abandoned 12,000 foot runway. And taking the aforementioned road to nowhere - actually, to 30 feet from the summit of a mountain. All during a race from Gibraltar to Madrid in three supercars.
the point is unique vs generic. "Office" is generic, hence can't be stamped with a trademark. "Microsoft" is a brand. "Microsoft Office" is a unique product attached to a brand, hence is trademarked. "Internet Explorer" is two generic words (per the judgement to which you refer) which even together don't warrant trademark protection. However, "Microsoft Internet Explorer" being two generics *and a unique word protected by a trademark stamp* is by virtue of one of its words being protected, protected.
As to naming conventions using nondescriptives: it's easier, in the US commercial legal space, to claim trademark protection on a name that *doesn't* describe what a product *is*, than to fight for a commercial monopoly on a generic word. Hence "Mustang" vs "380BHP of steel and noise", "Opera" vs "Yet Another Browser", "Access" vs "Entry-level database management"...
I'd like to live in the Sierra Nevadas in Spain, can someone explain to me why there are entire cities in the foothills that are not only completely deserted, they have never been occupied (or why the highest road in Europe still doesn't go anywhere?)?

I met this girl and she’s just great. This girl I just adore.
She has much more, than I had bargained for...

sshh, don't tell anyone but I know how to make a stock nut extractor for an Air Arms S-200 split stock. ;)
something about bricked fingers but I'm sure one of those ACs that I can't see has already brought himself and no bottle to that party.
I have one of those.
It's a keyed 16mm 12-point triple square bolt driver. Mine wasn't from the Mercedes-Benz or Audi kit though, it's part of a generic garage set.

DVI+HDMI connectors are a good indicator of a modern board, VGA? Who the fuck uses DSub15 any more??
shit, that's the most awesome scam ever, how did they even think they'd get away with that??
whose fucking bright idea was it to install the BIOS on a fucking EEPROM??
What happened to hardcoding it?

I say we dust off and nuke the entire site from orbit.
It's the only way to be sure.
*A* person is smart.
*PEOPLE* are dumb, panicky animals and you know it.
