I'm in the Air Force (ANG/ active duty training for past year) and concerning the statement above, it is right on target (probably more accurate than intended).
The team used a counter-rotating design. The outer wing rotates clockwise and the inner wing counter-clockwise. The outer wing which is situated above the inner wing naturally flex and hangs down. It was hanging down to the point at which each wing made contact and shattered into countless pieces rendering thousands of man hours and about $30,000 worth of materials useless.
If you read the article more carefully it says "Mike Kennedy, a robotics projects officer at the lab". He's an officer in the ARMY at Fort Benning where this took place.
In case you're unaware, AC stands for alternating current whereas DC stands for direct current. Nearly everything in you own relies on DC (internally) to run. Electric companies use AC transmission because it can travel further much more efficiently than DC (less power / distance).
In the case of electronics, most IC's are designed requiring a constant flow. In an extremely abridged explaination, the transistors must remain biased or will cease to function as desired. The bias, or mode if you will, is determined by the electrical conditions (Voltage/Current) on each of the transistors terminals.
This is directed by Ang Lee, director of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Ice Storm, Sense and Sesibility, and Eat Drink Man Woman. I believe it is highly probable that this is going to kick major ass.
Has anyone see "Pretender"? The show about the "pretenders" which were capable of assuming any identity. I haven't read Ender's Game but it sounds similar in that kids were used for military simulations and other things of the sort.
Anyone making a statement resembling any form of discontent with The Patriot Act will immediately be added to the national investigation list of various law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
What does this have to do with Programmers being Engineers?
If we are on the topic though, would you care to explain how you see any correlation between the manner by which one is elected and his/her intentions? Undeniably your question implicitly claims that W because of the manner by which he took office makes him less likely to "be the deliverer of Democracy" than if he were to have won by a landslide.
Whether you like it or not, the fact is that the process of the post-election events entirely abided to the US Constitution. Furthermore, even after the court case it was clearly determined that Bush had received more votes in Florida. So what exactly are you trying to dispute? Have you heard of the US Constitution's guarantee of equal protection? Perhaps you should become informed before asking mindless questions.
Actually that ~35,000 was a CIA estimate of Iraqi soldier casualties, not deaths (probably 30-40% of which are deaths). As absurdly high as that may sound, it is likely quite close to the actual figure. 3ID killed 300-500 in a single ground battle, if you consider all the air strikes (over 9,000 sorties) and other divisions, you'll see that ~35,000 is a fairly accurate calculation after all.

There is bias and there inevitably will always be bias within ALL media sources. What really matters is that the viewer/listener/reader realizes that there is a bias. For us in the larger, more fortunate nations, we have access to many different media sources, unlike those in the Middle East that only have a severely limited selection (if at all).
You're close...
This is what happened. As a member of the DOJ, I can tell you that things have been rather busy lately. We all know that Christmas is rapidly approaching. To make a long story short, Bill gave us some of those new XBox consoles. He even threw in the full set of release titles and a copy of XP! Now if that's not justice, what is?
And don't go givin' me your self-righteous BS. You know damn well you'd do the same. We were nearing a settlement anyways. This just sealed the deal.
in a subtle way mention to your rep. that you're an exotic dancer and you'd like to privately discuss certain matters. i guarantee that you will be granted an appointment immediately.

and no one caught such a simple design flaw.
All they had to do was have the outer wing on the bottom.

VMS has been doing all of those things for years. Now can anyone tell me where it is right now?
taco, pay attention next time.
