IIRC, that is not actually shown in the movie. Not to spoil the movie, but the first time you see him in that particular red suit he is already ready for action.
From what I have heard, the SATA drives are identical to ATA drives save for the different connector. The burners aren't even close to maxing out the ATA bus so any extra speed is unecessary. These SATA drives would really only be good for a system out there (if there are any) with no ide-ATA controler/ports on the mobo, in that case obviously having SATA burners on the marked would be a good thing.
Or maybe with "God damnit, how did this mold get on my cultures. Ok, who left the damned window open?" followed closely by "Hey, why aren't any of the germs near the mold? Hmm thats odd"
Hmm, I think your sig is a little confused. You see, Mayor McCheese IS the mayor of McDonald land. This has nothing to do with "having it your way" which is the Burger King slogan. Unfotunately the whole idea is ass backwards, you can "have it your way" at Burger King becuase its a Monarchy run by guess who? Yep, the Burger King, and you can't vote him out even if you want. I for one, cast my vote for Grimace, and I would make the Hamburgler cheif of police, seeing as he has so much experiance in the crime field.
Some of the energy is turned into rotational energy by the drives (HD and CD) and fans and of course it can't both become rotational energy and heat as this would violate the laws of thermodynamics. Also this little led's on the front are giving off energy in photons of light with an additional small amount of heat. I agree thought that with the transistor circuits, all the energy does eventually become heat.

P.S. I know that the rotational energy of the drives is expended in heat but this is after the energy is used by components of the system.
If you read the article you will note it wasn't an orbital flight nor was it a manned flight, in which the only achieved 7 mins of microgravity. This is about the same amount as Space Ship One achieved with a possible capacity for a crew of 3, a much greater achievement. There are people in local rocket clubs in the USA that have used clustering to push lightweight rockets to 100,000+ feet which seems to be about what the british did, albiet with a great weight.
I shouldn't have lumped everyone in, but you are talking about a small exception to a large rule. We don't need to create a rule allowing larger seats for overweight people that may benefit the tiny percentage of people who have legitimate medical reasons for the weight, while people who simply disreguard their health and gain 100+ extra pounds get a free seat in an airplane, I mean come on I want a free seat too.

P.S. My brother was taking steriods for Chrons Disease and took steriods, he seemed only to gain weight in his face:)
I personally suspect the problem is related to harmones or pesticides in our meat and food. Other countries eat all kinds of stuff that would be considered "bad" by our (ever changing) standards, yet on the average are skinnier than US citizens. There is more to it than just fat and starch.
Then why are some people still at normal weights? Most of the people I know that are in good physical shape don't eat McDonalds and fried chicken 5 times a week, most of the overweight people I know do. The reason we as a nation are so heavy is because we eat high calorie high fat diets and get no exercise.
Yeah, I guess I meant chubby, I'm actually in decent shape except I still got the tire around the middle. I'm trying to work harder though, upping my cardio each workout and adding another workout.
I can imagine how good they could possibly be, here in the states (west coast) the only place I have ever seen a panini is at a fast food joint called Jack In The Box (think McDonalds but more greasy with much funnier commercials) so I can't imagine how good they could really be.
I got a better idea. Why don't people not get so fat that they can't fit in a single seat? I was 6'1" 240 at one point in my life and I could still fit in airplane seats fine, and trust me that is as fat as you ever want to be, my health was already going down the tubes. Not only do these people require extra seats on planes, slow down the lines for roller coasters, and other idiotic things, they also cost this country millions in health care costs that could have been avioded if the ate a bit less and actually got up from in front of the tv once in a while.

P.S. I'm down to 205 and I'm still fat so you can only imagine...
Even better yet is some good old fashioned Gov. VS Gov. deathmatch wrestling in The Running Man (A terrifc movie for those who haven't seen it). There is actually a scene where Schwarzenegger (Gov CA) and Jesse Ventura (Gov MN) duke it out. They can also be seen together in Predator. These are some classic political moments.
Maybe you should have read my whole post, the first rhetorical question was meant to be a joke. If you read on further you will see that I explain that from the webpage its the Gnu Image Manipulation Program. Now I did make a mistake saying Gnome was not a Gnu project, I did some reading and now I am glad to say I'm informed.
I feel this way too. Not only that but it seems like the HIG has changed quite a few times, talk about confusing the user. Every couple version I try gnome out, everytime its quite good but doesn't pull me away from KDE on fast systems and XFCE on slower systems. Also each time I try it seems like a completely new system. KDE has been consistently improving yet staying similar throughout its 3.x series, and 4 is looking to have some serious enterprise and underlying system updates. The only think I truly hate about KDE is arts, which is a horrible piece of crap.
You mean its not Gnome IMage Processor? Maybe its recursive Gimp Is an iMage Processor, or maybe its named after that freaky gimp suit in pulp fiction. But if you happed to check that website you will realize that its the Gnu Image Manipulation Program. This brings up the discussion of why gnome choose to start with a G if it was not a GNU (at least in my understanding) project, as this obviously could cause confusion with so many apps starting with G. Personally I like the Kde naming scheme, the names suck but at least its quite obvious that an app is in fack a kde app 99% of the time.
Exactly. A project like this is actual one of those instances where a GPL license might be a bad idea. If both commercial and open-source developers all work on one engine, there are bound to be some contributions from both fronts (all from the open source camp) but there is the benefit that if this engine matures we will have games that are playable on any platform. I don't give a damn about my games being free as in beer, as long as developers are willing to make good games that play on linux I will be happy, even if the code is not open source.
I do think that even commercial developers would give something back to a community that provided them with a free, robust, and mature game engine.
This is my uptime from a Debian Unstable system running kernel 2.6.8.1. I have done a dist-upgrade on 2 occasions during that 17 days, 1 of which upgraded my entire KDE system. Also this is a desktop/server system in 1. I am running a samba server for 4 machines as well as a small php/mysql driven webpage, and a vnc server. All the while I am using this as my desktop computer, using openoffice, amarok(audio player), kaffine(media player xine based), kmail, xchat, firefox, konq, gaim, konsole, pam, and many other apps. I think 17 days is quite good for a system like this witout any major problems. My windows box has crashed 2 times during the same period and it is only on for about 2 hours a day.
Amen, I'm sick of people in the linux world acting elite becuase the "only" use the command line. I mean come on, on modern computers (I.E. a P4 or atholon over 2Ghz, and with 512 mem) I think a gui is great. In fact a lot of times I am running kde and all I'm doing is using 4 or 5 konsoles, but its still nicer than using screen or virtual consoles, or even backgrounding processes. In these cases especially, thinks like drop shadows and transparency can really make a difference as its easier at a glance to see which window you are focused on or to see some text, command, or output in another window without shuffling windows, and also in these cases I tend to be using less cpu so I have plenty for these nice effects. Plus when I am trying to show psuedo geek friends the benefits of linux, its always a little more impressive when what they are looking at really looks nice and polished (and I'm not talking about converting the masses, these are people who do web programming and are running apache and perl and the like in windows where it just seems kinda out of place, if this is their main task on the comp I really think linux is the way to go) well thats my rant for now, but I agree, even when you are working on the cli, its nice to have the gui and its effects as it can actually improve the experiance.

excuse any typos, its way to late to actually preview this one.
I know that was probably a troll, but you should never use oil based lubricants in combination with latex condoms. Petroleum based lube products will actually break down the latex and defeat the whole purpose of the condom in the first place. Instead you should only use water based, water soluable lubes like Astroglide or K-Y Jelly. Otherwise you may end up getting your partner pregnant or aquiring a shiny new STD.
Or china could use the helium for their new nuclear reactors that are going to use compressed helium rather than water. Of course if Cold Fusion was actaully working I don't see why they would go ahead building any new fision reactors.
