I have actually observed that when people do things such as tell a voice activated navigation system in a car, or use Via Voice, they use a completely different tone and mannerism. They pause between words in a different pattern then they would normally too.
The M1 tank has a turbine engine also. Generally these types of engines are used in applications where a high power-to-weight ratio is required and cost is not the issue.
How would carbon dating the mortar used in the pyramid tell you when it was built? Carbon dating would tell you how old the stone is that was used to make the mortar, not when that mortar was applied. If you built a house out of couple million year old stone last year, the stone would carbon date to a couple million years ago, not last year.
Yeah like a $2000 voucher is gonna get you into any school that's worth shit. The only schools that you would be allowed to go to on that little money is religious schools that use under-paid teachers to instill morals and a belief in creationism. Come on, a voucher would only help a kid get into a better school if he was already smart and was able to get a scholarship for the rest of the balance, otherwise its one failing situation to another, The only difference is the second place doesn't have mandatory standardized tests to prove it. So then it looks better on national statistics.
I go to high school right now and I have always wanted to be an engineer. It disturbs me how many students today have no clue or interest in getting a clue about how everday objects work. For me simply knowing that you put gas in the car then when you push some peddles it move is not enough, but for a disturbing percentage it's plenty.

Large value bills such as $1000 were discontinued for a reason. Who, except drug dealers, needs them. To pay for groceries or a twenty or fifty are always sufficient. I guess if you were going to pay for a house or car with cash you would need $1000's, but again, who does that besides drug dealers anyway.
Also, I hate $1 coins. They are annoying. If you have a stack of 10 singles in your wallet, it is nicely folded and quite light. However 10 coins would be heavy and make tons of noise when you walked. This would likely make you a target of thieves.
Perhaps these could provide a security improvement to handheld devices. For instance, it could be that when you first turn it on, it reverses the device and projects a picture of your retina towards a camera to verify the identity of the user. It could quickly check this periodically during use. This would make stealing these kinds of devices very unattractive, because they would have no value to anyone but the user.
I checked the USPTO website for patents that are claimed to be help by panip on the panip web site, and they do exist and they are what they say they are. Further more I found Dickson Supply's website and it also appears to be a real store with a full selection of products etc.
Just because one news item doesn't affect every person on the face of the globe, does not make it completely irrelevant. By your logic, news of a natural disaster in Africa shouldn't make the news because not everyone is affected.
Ummm in first grade you are learning how to write English and do very basic addition/subtraction. I don't think coding is a good outlet for a first graders creativity honestly. The even worse part of the new trend of having a computer for every student at school is that administrators and politicians believe this is actually a good substitution for good teachers. Computers are great when you are older, but I don't think you really NEED them for a good education especially in elementary school.
Not everyone can be important. When everyone is Han Solo or Luke Skywalker, that is called a single player game, not an MMORPG. How could all the millions of people that play a MMORPG be important. I'm not saying you have to be just a hobbit plowing his field, but a game that doesn't revolve around you would be a refreshing thought.
Honestly, it has always been one of my hopes that some enlightened developer would create a game where you are just one soldier in an entire war, and your part has little signifigance in completely oblitterating evil, or nazis or whatever you are fighting.
I dont know how many other people noticed the quite dumb comment that some feminist made about how ment could eliminate women. This is quite stupid, why would men eliminate their means of sexual gratification. Do the feminists believe everyone would become homosexual?
And what do you want to bet by that time there will be some sort of "copy protection" on satellite signals to prevent it?
Correct me if I am wrong. Isn't there a court ruling that it is legal to tape off television for personal use? So wouldn't it be illegal for them to make it impossible to "tape" off of Satellite?
"It's a robust, free-market economy filled with wealthy, hardworking people," Castronova told the online news service CNet . "What you see with EverQuest is that economies happen by themselves. If you get a bunch of people together and they have things they can produce and opportunities to exchange them, you've got the makings of an economic system."
Norrath hardly seems like a laissez faire environment. Overlording GM's are constantly banning or devalueing items. Also last time I checked, you are not allowed to sell equipment on ebay or your account can be canceled.
People get modded down all the time for off topic posts, and somehow this gets a score 2 for just using an emoticon. Seems like you get modded down for disagreeing with the prevailing opinion and up for agreeing no matter how weak, or unexistent your comment is.
The currently conservative US Supreme Court has very little trust in youth and loves denying rights that people over the age of 18 get from the constitution.
In the Tinker case in 1969 the liberal courts said that students do not give up their rights to free speech when they go to school, but later in Bethel School District v. Fraser in 1986 courts ruled that students could be suspended for "lewd and indecent speech."
Also in the case of T.L.O the courts ruled that students do not have the same rights protecting them from search and seizure that adults do.
You cannot blame a company for good business strategies. IE happens to be the standard among web-browsers and Office is definately the most popular applications of its kind. Don't bash apple for using standards to bring in more users. It's business.
If ound this interesting becuase I remember reading in the back of my class copy of Farenheit 451 an essay by Ray Bradbury about how many times publishers of "readers" have tried to censor his book in one way or another.

Of course it runs NetBSD!

In 2007 you will have to get a digital IMAX projector anyways...

He has his "Gimmer A Break" column on 20/20 this seems like the kinda really obviously bogus thing that he would have a field day on.

As you crash into another can in an intersection you hear over your headphones your computer shout, "STOP!!" But its to late.

Generally any government, institution, or corporation that denies information to the public besides for security issues is corrupt.
