Actually, latest election results from Iran say differently [nationalreview.com]. Tehran had a 1% turnout. Now, granted, these were local elections. If they were national ones, they might have doubled turnout!
Yes, for those that don't know, much of the small turnout was a popular resistance to the clerical leadership that were "urging" all to vote.
Well, yea, finding a road junction or whatever did not really require extreme accuracy. It may have been cheaper then as we used paper maps (after they are shot they still work).
Lots of it had to do with diagraming the positions of one's troops too, as a tank is a little bigger than an infantry fireteam.
As for field artillery, they use much higher tolerances, using mils instead of degrees and such.
I have never had the opportunity to run a tab at a Hyatt. Maybe if I used my room key or something lioke that, but otherwise they always want me to pay by the drink:(
Yep. At least it was two years ago and for several years running before that. As I have been working in the Meatlocker of the Nation's Common Sence (DC area) for the past several years, I only get briefed when I run into the more recent grads.
Cheers!
BTW, that is #1 in civilian L&T programs. I suspect that the Army Logistics Center is #1 in the other areas.
The first time that I encountered a mess of U Texans was at a steakhouse in Clifton, VA about five or six years ago. Upon seeing a bunch of folks in white polo shirts with orange "T" logos, I remarked to my girlfriend "I did not know the Tennessee Alumni Association had anything going today! I don't recognize any of these people! Need to get back in touch with them." This was met by stern looks and it did take me a while to "get it". Note my reply to Timothy above on this "orange vs. orange" thing.
The next time was two or three years ago on a business trip to Austin. As soon as I got off the airplane there were signs all over reading "UT -->" and such. I made a point to mention loudly "There must be a lot of Volunteer fans here! Wow, these guys are a lot more greatful to the people that gave them freedom that than the french are!"
Well, turns out they aren't that much more greatful;-)
It's a design patent, not a utility patent. Go learn the difference before you call it frivolous.
I am glad to catch your post!
Apparently I was wrong thinking that Patents were for processes, not for designs. Was under the impression that Copyright and Trademark were for designs.
Well now we have Lauren Green, I can stand to watch her all day!
Also, I hope the wardrobe departments continue the Science Fiction media tradition, tighter clothes and less of them on the chicks please. Stop underestimating slutty so much and PLEASE higher heels!
I found that interesting too, along with the author's choice of wording.
She sounded like she had just graduated from the Moscow School of Economics in 1920 (if there was one under the old system), "ruling class" etc.

I dont know about the Mylar strip. (Though I did watch someone ruin a 100 dollar bill proving it could be "Removed" once.)
Umm, I did it with $20s frequently. Pull up the end of the strip, then pul straight out, i.e., not ripping up across the bill, out as in the direction the strip is already "pointing".
Anyway, it is not a tracking device and you are never getting an effective tracking device installed into a bill anyway.

...Faraday shopping bag?
Actually, that is an old shoplifter's trick.
Take 2 large paper shopping bags, like the one's from a department store. Cover one with aluminum foil, place it inside the other one (arrange foil so that it can not be seen).
Second, get the merchandise into a metal lined container, like maybe the trunk of your car?
Third, move the shielded items a far distance from where they were last "tracked", like your home (just a suggestion).
Fourth, remove the tags (this step can be moved higher in the list). Enhanse this step by dropping them in trash containers of your enemies/tormentors.
Yes, all of this is worthless if you are convinced that the, easily removed, mylar strips in your US money is tagged too.

Those poor human shields!
Now, if they rent their busses in Germany and drive to Baghdad they may end up shielding military units by accident!
Have things changed these days for the worst?
In the USian Army we required 100m accuracy for Armor, 10m accuracy for Infantry/dismounted folks. All of the instruction had these tolerances.
I have had a link to the .jpg screen-capture of that one linked on my website for a couple of months ;-) See the first link at the top of my page.
Nice to see it is getting around!

Cool! Isn't that close to Taliwa Court? I was housed there when finishing school.
When in town I shop at the West Knoxville Disk Exchange.

Knoxville will always have Cas Walker. All Texas will ever have is LBJ.
I'm not sure which is worse: do you want your orange brighter and more eye-pokin', or browner and more rustlike?

Umm, Timothy, I am a GUY doode! The "new black" is black and orange is just orange to me
This was the University of Texas, not Texas A&M. Silly!
This johnny-come-lately "UT" is ripping off the initials and the colors of the original UT (est. 1794 thank you very much)!!

So, is this how Apple is able to sue the crap out of anybody that makes anything that resembles one of their designs, like those iMacs (I think)?

Apparently they are running the webserver on one of these things.
Tech tips: add a motherboard, processor, ram, ethernet and HDD. Might want to add some software and an OS also.
