So.. had NASA coated the fuel tank with steel balls, there would have been a smaller hole in the wing and thus a larger chance of survival for the astronauts? That's an interesting thought. That foam could be more dangerous than steel.
Being on slashdot does not prevent me from having a boyfriend.
There is a joke here, but I'll politely walk away from it. I think all the parties involved (including your boyfriend) would be happier if I did not call your sexual preference into question.
It'll bring a whole new dimension of fun and entertainment to cutting people off in traffic.
Except that people don't drive on game grids very often. If you watched the movie, you'd see that the light cycles could turn any way they wanted if they were off the game grid. They also didn't make those silly trails.
Yes, you are right. I got a lump of coal for christmas and I can use it to heat my house. I bet those who got DRM are freezing to death. Poor bastards. Too bad they didn't get coal for christmas.
why can't a motherboard share the RAM with the graphic card
It can. If you run out of memory on your AGP card, then normal memory is also used. The only problem is that the AGP bus and normal system memory are both much slower than graphics RAM. So if you ever run out of graphics RAM and normal RAM has to be used, you get a slide show.
That would be true, but I'm smart enough to stay away from rough bars and I almost always carry a knife with me. I know I'm no good in a fight, but I can't say the same for other "skinny little pricks." You don't have to pay for MY mouthiness, because I only insult people when I am far away from them. I know I always smile inside when someone gets the snot beat out of them after talking B.S.
I run 70 miles a week. I am 5'5" tall and weigh 110lbs. I have 2% body fat. I can run 5 kilometers in under 16 minutes. And here is what I have to say to you: People like you SICKEN me. I have to put up with higher life insurance premiums because of people like you. I have to pay for YOUR laziness and lack of self-discipline. I hope your heart explodes in a decade, you deserve it.
Ex. 32:27 Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, put every man his sword by his side...and slay every man his brother...companion..neighbor.(See also 1 Sam. 6:19; 15:2,3; Num. 15:36)
Are we saved through works or faith?
Eph. 2:8,9 For by grace are ye saved through faith...not of works. (Rom. 3:20, 28; Gal. 2:16)
James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.(Matt. 19:16-21)
There are a lot more contradictions in the bible. That's one reason why I am an athiest.
This site seems to have good list of contradictions. Scroll down the page to view them, and don't tell me they can't be taken literally (otherwise who would determine what parts of the bible should be taken literally) or must be read in context (even if you read the passages around the contrdictions, it doesn't help the fact that the bible is saying two completely different things).
Instead of ordering a large monitor, just get an LCD screen. 17 inchers work fine and usually have a reasonable price. They also work great for LAN parties since they are light and don't take up too much desk space.
In case you didn't notice, the US taxes its people to get money, which it then mostly wastes on paying interest. Anyway, using you're logic, the American citizens should own the Internet since they paid for it. Also using your logic, Marconi (or Nicolai Tesla, whichever you prefer) should be able to control everything that is on the radio because he invented radio.
I think a 1GHz x86 machine with a gig of RAM and a nice SCSI hard drive running linux and Apache 2.0 would be more than enough to withstand a good/.ing (as in "on the front page in a really interesting article"/.ing) Most sites run out of bandwidth first though. A T1 can only get you so far.
(Note - driving around the city with a passenger who's pointing a 240 volt disco strobe at unsuspecting pedestrians is neither condoned, nor encouraged, by the author. And even though it makes rain look really cool, please do not stand in the rain holding the strobe.)
It looks like he's tried this before. I wonder if he'll have an article on how to take apart your UPS and use it to scare pedestrians with a strobe.
You think you should have waited? I just ordered an SV25 LAST NIGHT from newegg! I am throwing in a tualatin processor in it but I wished I would have waited for a version with quiter/less fans. I didn't buy the SS50 because I wanted a quiter system, and I heard the SV25 could be modified to be the quietest.
I could have had a quieter small system that was faster had I waited 12 hours! GAH!
Not only is petroleum necessary for nuclear power, but it is needed for almost everything else we use every day. Most plastics, gas, lubricants, all are made out of petroleum. Without petroleum, we would't last long at all. You couldn't fire a gun, because there would be no lubricant on the bullet. You wouldn't have a computer to use. About 60% of your car would be non-existent, because it is made from plastics. You couldn't listen to CDs, because not only are they made from plastic, but your radio is. The insulation in your house, plastic grocery bags, packaging, etc, etc.
The point is simple: modern life is impossible without petroleum products. We must stop burning them (ie, use H2 from the breakdown of water), use the existing oil reserves for manufacturing things, and learn how to make our own hydrocarbons out of water and CO2.
Go to some place that has objects, numbers, and letters
Close your eyes
Open them, look at the nearest object
Somehow incorporate it into your password. Ex: I look at an ad for dan's pizza. "pizd" can be part of my password.
Repeat a few times Ex: I look at broken PSU. "brpsu" is part of my password
The strings you choose do not have to be in the order you found them in, they just have to be in your password. It helps to insert a number here or there or change letters to numbers. Ex: My final password is "6rpsupizd"
Congrats, you now have a hard to crack, somewhat easy to remeber password. Repeat on each equinox and solstice for maximum security. WARNING: Do NOT do this in a place where you type your password! People can think similarly to you and determine some aspects of your password. They may be able to even determine your password if the place you used has few objects in it. (Yes, I am paranoid when it comes to passwords.)

Should we kill?
Are we saved through works or faith?
