Was this one of those 3' diameter pools with 2" of water in them? What were the items in the yard made from, that EVERYTHING was COMPLETELY destroyed? It must have been terrifying, with all the rocks in the back yard being shattered into sand! All the grass torn up and ground to a fine mulch. The garden hoses torn into 2" chunks.
I wish I could have watch the total destruction of this guys yard from one burst kiddy pool! Maybe a video of this occurrence will make thousands of dollars from one of those disaster TV programs! It might become as famous as the Hindenburg films!
When you finally discover that you need one, you'll learn that, besides the generic Windows operating system, the original disk would have included drivers for all the nonstandard hardware that the PC maker used on your machine. So after installing a generic copy of Windows, you;ll discover that your 17" display only works at 400X320, your sound card doesn't work at all, your ethernet port and WIFI don't appear to exist, the USB ports sometimes work for seconds at a time, and only 640K of ram is available. And Windows is claiming you have a pirated copy.
Good thing you have all that extra shelf space available.
Why didn't they try advertising this before now? Put it into a suitcase, then toss that into a gorilla compound. Let them toss it around for a while, and play it as an advertisement about the toughness of your glass. Unless they only see the suitcase.
I am surprised, though, that corning never managed to sell any serious quantity as a structural material. Glass-coated skyscrapers have been considered quite stylish for decades, and I'd imagine that "resists birdstrike, rocks, wind forces, and idiots leaning against the windows just as well as ordinary glass, at 20% the weight" would be a selling point.
Wasn't there a story about a guy who would show visitors just how strong the glass was in his skyscraper suite by jumping against it? At least, until the window popped out of the frame during his final demonstration.
Is this one of those flares that will knock the moon out of the Earth's orbit, along with the Lunar Colony, causing it to travel among the stars? Or is this the start of a Godzilla movie?
If this were a typical science fiction movie, they would have an astronaut deflect it using a mirror made from a candy wrapper and a tongue depressor. When that, surprisingly, fails, the radiation will strike the Earth, waking Godzilla, who will then proceed to destroy Japan. Since I don't live in Japan, I say let him have his fun.
Maybe it's not the 3D that gives you a headache, it's the plot (or lack of it).
OK, they ran out of the safe room they had found, and into the scarey laboratory with the evil monster, split up, ripped up/off their clothes (always necessary), and then started randomly pressing every button in sight, and jumping into the first dark room they could find. Why should I be surprised that something bad happens to them? [Noise from banging my head on chair in front of me] Why should I get a headache? [bang! bang!]
In our science class, we had to dissect pig fetuses. What happens now?
Be careful when you slice into the legs. you don't want to puncture the web glands, or you'll be stuck in class for several extra hours. Don't open the eyes, unless you have correctly attached your shark first. Watch out for the mouth. you can get either a nuclear flame blast, or a vampire bite. If you spot anything that looks like a button, don't press it!
By the way, your parents have signed the waiver, haven't they?
We no longer need the oil! Obama motors has designed an electric cat that can travel 40 miles a day for the low price of $40,000! That's almost as far as an electric golf cart can go that you can get (with government rebates) for $0! Since nobody needs to live farther than 20 miles (you need to drive back home after work), the need for oil is now non-existent! We have no need of any fossil fuels since we have electric cars now!
Because people aren't intrested in throwing virtual chairs on their iPads? Because Microsoft is lacking DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS? Because there aren't any secret API's that bypass the embeded usleeps so their code runs faster than the competion?
Amazon sells the Project Gutenberg texts for $0.00 each. They are simply using their store to make them easily available to the Kindle. I have downloaded a fair number of them, and the only problems are no chapter markers, and sometines each text line ends in a hard break, instead of letting the paragraphs flow as they should. But the same problems exist in some of the $$ books.
The little humanitarian inside you appears rather weak and malnourished. Indeed, you're probably breaking a number of international treaties concerning the humane treatment of inner humanitarians.
Ok, vegetarians are called that because they only eat vegetables. So, humanitarians are called that because...
No one's advocating immediate and drastic measures.
What planet do you live on? I'd like to go there until this blows over, and we get back to the Global Cooling debate. I've heard so many of these (Cap and tax, Numerous limits on vehicles, Eliminating SUV's, Limiting availability of numerous fuels, Increasing taxes,..........)
Most GW avocates ignore ANY questions about their methodologies and findings, and do everything possible to silence ALL opposition. If you work for a university and don't warship on the GW altar, your funding is cut to zero. If you're pro-GW, then you get unlimited funding, and you don't need to actually prove anything as long as you say what the politions want (so they can garner votes and raise taxes).
Any "science" in the GW debate is buried under tons of BS, wishful thinking, and outright fraud. Whatever real science there is hidden by so much crap, that NO real progress can be made. The current "science" amounts to nothing more than a typical NEA grant "I peed into a plastic bottle, dropped a plastic Jesus into that, and took a picture. This proves that GW is caused by man. Please pay me $80,000".
Your web site will soon need to have a wheelchair ramp, and wheelchair capable toilets. You will also be required to have handicapped parking. And remember, government officials have no sense of humor, and will try to apply laws where the do not fit.
They've had to delay that disaster, with all the other ones they have created. They had to delay that one until they had milked all the current ones for all they could.
I thought they were extinct a long time ago? Squished by a comet into oil, which is now causing fishing boats in the Gulf to be idle. I didn't know they used shrimpers to catch subatomic particles, but since they are used to catching tiny things already, I guess it makes sense.
1. Lick you palm. Make sure it is really slimy. 2. Grab their hand with both of yours so they can't get away. Preferably from behind. 3. Shake good and strong, bringing your hand above your head and down to your knees. 4. Release while at maximum height. 5. Rub you hand on your pants leg for at least 10 seconds.
OK, you will now be excused from shaking anyone elses hand. Forever.
I've thought about borrowing my dad's OM-1 just to shoot a few rolls of Velvia, but have never gotten around to it. (I have a few OM-mount lenses that I use on digital.)
Ummm, you can't just cram some cheese into a camera and expect good results.

What's next, having to apply for a license to own a fscking charcoal grill on your own patio?
I believe California tried to require a permit recently.

This isn't useful unless I can drive it on the roads.

What about gopher dances? How accurate are the gopher dances? That is obviously the most important part of the movie!

Why do these guys always make me think of "this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl".
Must be really convenient to have all those empty plastic bottles for a long trip. No need for frequent delays at the rest stops.
They've had to delay that disaster, with all the other ones they have created. They had to delay that one until they had milked all the current ones for all they could.

It really depends on your goal
1. Lick you palm. Make sure it is really slimy.
2. Grab their hand with both of yours so they can't get away. Preferably from behind.
3. Shake good and strong, bringing your hand above your head and down to your knees.
4. Release while at maximum height.
5. Rub you hand on your pants leg for at least 10 seconds.
OK, you will now be excused from shaking anyone elses hand. Forever.
Ice is made of water, but it is a solid. So, is this a #1 or #2?
Microsoft, of course, will design one that is incapable of running any competators software.
