1) Hold your breath HARD for a full ten seconds (very deep breath). 2) Let the air out of your lungs very very slowly for a full 10 seconds (this is hard to do, actually) 3) Close your eyes and think of something boring or calming, like the color green, for a full 10 seconds.
Provided you don't get a hiccup between or during the steps (which means start over, by the way), you'll find they are gone completely. As you use this technique more and more, you can feel internally how hiccups stop (by smoothing out the twitches in the diaphram) and eventually you don't need this technique. Now if I get the hiccups all I do is change my breating rate and they go away instantly. I would never have learned how to do that if it were not for this simple, non-goofy, non-complicated technique. Thanks mom!
Well, that shouldn't be a problem... a 4,000 mile-per-hour bowling ball probably wouldn't have any problem plowing straight through any snags that got in the way.
some members of the Salt Lake Astronomical Society want to drop bowling balls from airplanes onto the Utah salt flats to simulate meteorites falling. Unfortunately, it's hit a few snags

Oh and heaven help me but who wouldn't spend whatever amount time is necessary to get the chance to see Leonardo DiCaprio get creamed by large angry men... It's just possible that you may want to rephrase that:-)
I'm not so sure... I think I could enjoy seeing it either way.
I think the government has better things to do with our tax dollars than "entertainment".
For example, doing studies on bovine methane production, right?
Why not concentrate on making sure our own planet is habitable before we waste billions trying to put people on another one? If you think terraforming is cool, find a way to halt desertification in Africa.
Well, think abotu this logically for a second. If we spent $50 billion on stopping deforestation in Afria, what we get back for our investement is:
1) Less energy/farmland/ore/whatever they were deforesting Africa for. 2) Additional money for the warlords who keep food and medicine away from thier people. 3) Probably no less deforestation in the long run becuase once the $50 billion is all used up, the groups who were beign held back by the infusion of cash will just go and start digging in the forests again.
Now, that same money turned into space research will provide us:
1) New technologies that can later be incorporated into the world for teh betterment of all mankind. 2) Eventually lead to a permanant space presence where there exists more energy, raw materials and open space than exists in all reserves on Earth combined. 3) A renewed hope and idealism about space, which will help up eventually reach it faster.
The Earth is a fairly closed system as far as we are concerned. Of course we have the sun giving us energy, but there is only so much available living/farming space and raw materials. As long as we stay here, we will NEVER bring order to the chaos that is our existance. As soon as we bening to introduce materials and energy from outside out planet, you'll find the world will very quickly be a much more livable place.
You gotta be kidding, I thought there were too *many* in this country! Oh, wait, I'm thinking of lawyers. It's sometimes hard to tell those bloodthirsty species apart. I should have known when you mentioned the 'pups'. We all know lawyers spawn fully grown from fissures in the earth.:)
of course, why the Japanese don't drop the kanji and use kana exclusively is beyond me
One word: homophones
Japanese has SOOOOO many homophones that if your took out all that kanji it would be simply impossible to understand what you are talking about. I have seen Japanese people draw the kanji in the air sometimes when discussing things that have similar sounds but completely different meanings. Without kanji they would quickly find themselves lost in even more misunderstandings than they do now.
A fake referer won't work unless YOUR browser has some sort of magic HTTP tag that allows it to change the referrer in the tag. Remember, this is about linking, not about just seeing the page. That is what makes the law so goofy.
It would be trivial to write a web-server rule to check the HTTP-REFERER and not display the page if it is being linked from outside the site... Of course, if you did this, you would lose out on th eexpense and bad press that you get from taking Joe's blog to court for linking directly to your order page for your product.
These scans are JUST the thing an enterprising terrorist would need to find the best place to attack one of these monuments to do the most damage... What is it about Americans and irony? They seem to have cornered the market on it recently.
The best meat cmes from Kobe, bar NONE. They massage thier cors with sake every morning and feed them beer. Go to Kobe, eat a $200 steak, you'll understand.
But if you haven't, you can't really make sense of it, so you just have to buy whatever the judge instructs you to.
Which begs the question, what, exactly, is the *point* of the law in the first place? If normal people can't understand it, how can they be expected to follow it? If the law doesn't mean what it looks like it means (requires the judge to interperet it) then why have actual writeen laws in the first place? Why not just have everyone come before a judge once a year and have him decide arbitrarily if you should be a free man or locked up.
Retailers get a free ride from guys like us," said John Nesbit, vice president of Chicago area Internet marketing firm Penn Media, whose business now includes buying the knockoff mini-cars from a Hong Kong factory and selling them on the Internet.
So the end result is, the spammers are doing all the advertising and the retailers are getting all the benifits. The moral of this story is that spam works... just not for the spammer! Ha ha, irony, gotta love it.
The brilliance of humanity is not reflected in the distance that Pioneer 10 has traveled, despite the effort we expended to get there. Someday, however, it will be... when we go and get it back.
So, you remembering to are store them, right? At your $150 per message per month rate? I hope so! You didn't agree to whatever yahoo's spam policy, so you have no contract with them. Go collect your money, man!
Are you saying that there is nothing at all that is illegal in your country that can be done on your computer? If your machine were being used to host a terrorist information network, a conspiracy to kill leaders in your government, commit credit card fraud, hack into banks, etc, you could escape all accoutability just by saying "Hey, my machine was hacked, it wasn't me, I swear!"?
it depends on whether or not there's anything worth keeping secret on the machines;
NO! This is a fallacy. It doesn't matter if you have the last remaining digital copy of the secret FBI UFO cover-up or just your grandmother's recipies, your computer itself is still a resource that a hacker would love to use.
You machine could be hijacked and used for all sorts of nefarious purposes from DDoSing script kiddies to breaking into banks to being an staging point for a credit card fraud scheme or a terrorist network...

Start with this simple method:
1) Hold your breath HARD for a full ten seconds (very deep breath).
2) Let the air out of your lungs very very slowly for a full 10 seconds (this is hard to do, actually)
3) Close your eyes and think of something boring or calming, like the color green, for a full 10 seconds.

Oh, maybe they mean unfortunate for the snags....

Weeeel, technically if you end up at exactly the same place where you leave, you could still conserver momentum... easy, right?

4. 8 years is not enough time. The U.S. doesn't have the infrastructure to mount a mission.
Um, 8 years is PLENTY of time to build a fake mars set in arizone... no problem.
What a better name as Prometheus can you give a spacecraft/project going to change mans history?
No, if it were history then it would the time machine project. I think you meant destiny?
Ok so:
1) War with iraq
2) Plan mission to mars
What comes next? I know then end result will be being defeated by a saxaphone playing smooth talking dirtball, but I can't remember the other steps.
Not in a web browser, not in IE. Sure it's possible to get to the page. No argument there. But it will make LINKING impossible.

yes, but better and more sex in the longrun.
