Tunnel vision. This isn't only about the induce act. This is about the patriot act, dmca, pre-emptive stikes, and a governing body that acts exponentially erratic with each passing day. Take a trip over to metafilter and see what some are saying today concerning the presidential debates. Take a few more seconds to think about that, ponder the definition of freedom, pile on some luddite love and let me know if you haven't concidered another location.
As far as missing friends and family is concerned, I'll quote one of the few pieces of the bible I find usefull - "Go out in to the world and..." something, something, this that and the other. Just remember that if it wasn't true, they wouldn't've put it in the bible.
During the past few months I've been creating a 3d model of my current/future house in AutoCAD. Easy access to arial photography has allowed me to add a bit of realism to the rendered drawings concerning ground color, tree positions, road, etc. I've also added the neighbors houses to see how the my house will look in the setting.
To the point, these arial photos brought me to the realization that a garage would be better suited to the east side of the house rather than the west, where the driveway is currently... There's more space between me and my eastern neighbor which will provide a more balanced perception of property lines. This isn't a decision that benefits me as much as it does the neigborhood. Granted, I probably could've realized the imbalance without the arial shots, but would I have? Is it usefull for a local government to release information that may allow citizens to make better decisions concerning their property? Nice neigborhoods attract business and residents (aka people to steal tax money from;) after all.
I started the project with shots from http://terrafly.fiu.edu but later upgraded to some fancy hi-res color shots from www.globexplorer.com despite the price. And on the subject of local governments releasing aerial photos this one has released all of theirs... Unfortunatly I'm just outside of their field of view.
Here's the product if you're interested. It's hardly finished, but better than nothing.
Allow me to call up www.chicago.gov and watch any camera of my choosing and it might be usefull, otherwise it's horseshit. I don't even care for the ability to pan and zoom, just as long as i can see what they see. if this is for the publics benefit then let it be exactly that.
If the phone mfrs really want to do something usefull they ought to look into integrating a hands free set right into the phone with a retractable cord. What ever happened to retractable cords anyways? I remember an old vaccume cleaner with a mile long cord that disappeard into the machine when tugged just so. They used to be common place on mobile equipment, but now that we have shitloads of mobile equipment everyone seems to have forgotten about the good ol retractable cord. To hell with SMS mobile e-mail and portable television, I'm not buying any of their crap until it's got a retractable cord. Period.
I'd say try here http://jdmcox.com/ , but you're running linux. Maybe someone else will find this usefull. I have even though I don't have a GPS receiver.
'At present, the government has too many times been hijacked by those who use it for illegal purposes to which the vast majority of our consumers do not wish to be exposed.'
Use an ultraviolet laser to vaporize the grass. That was my thoughts when I thought about building a robomower... that and radio triangulation. Burns sure suck, but at least they don't break bones. I was all set to do this until I stared thinking about patents, lawsuits, and the rest of the red tape. Thats about the time i decided that america can suck my cock and forego all the fancy ideas I come up with. Ninety-seven percent efficient cooling/heating? fuck your patnent system. Electrostatic propulsion? Yeah, just as soon as lawyers are outlawed. I have no reason to innovate because in the state of america innovation leads to higher taxation. and legal fees. and paperwork that i don't give a flying fuck about. But other than that, I'd say use lasers to vaporize the grass. Not "safe" but safe enough.
Not really knowing anything about the subject, I'm wondering - if you can pressurize a person for deep sea diving then why can't you de-pressurize them for mars walking?
I listened to GnR before it was cool. I knew STP when it was Shirley Temple's Pussy... And I'm STILL not buying this godamn CD. Won't be downloading it. Won't be listening to it on the radio.
And if that isn't enough, I don't plan on voting for bush or bush light either.
And I'm damn near tempted to burn all my cash... Run my truck into the river... Sledge my *gasp* computer!
Do ya get it? Are you payin attention? Are ya fuckin catchin on or is your head still up their ass?
You're right if you're talking about a lighting rod on someones house or one of your fancy rockets, but these days there are fools talking about putting up elevators that run clear out to space. Then you may recall an experiment from the shuttle with a tether being dragged through space to collect energy - so much in fact that it cooked the tether. now, you may say that the tether was in motion, acting as an armature and that a space elevator (modified to conduct) is stationary, but what of the difference in potential between space and earth's surface? please don't try this though because just like the space elevator, it's bound to wick the earths atmosphere out into space. and we wouldn't like that now would we? but seriously, there's bound to be some really fat potential between here and there and if you could string a conductor all the way to space as they're implying with the elevator...

I'm also wondering why your rockets are so expensive? how high do you need to go to grab a bolt? can't you just ionize the air with a big laser? why don't you just e-mail all your class notes to me while you're at it;)
I haven't bought a CD for at least three years, stopped downloading and quit listening to the radio. If I need music I use my own drum machine and play my own guitar, which doubles as a bass when EQ'ed just so. If I can't use the computer to download or listen (DRM) to music at least I can use it as a multitrack recorder.
Rather than buying things with your money, tell suppliers, of whatever, how good or shitty their products or means of distribution are with it. You'll be suprized how much money you'll save.
Got willpower?
Could it be that American culture and politics has become so twisted that everyone feels the need to drop their true interests to try and fix the major problem at hand? Oh I want to believe, but doubt it. Seems that anything of a flaming political nature generates massive comments when posted to/.. I should imagine its the back-pressure one feels in the back of their throat after they've eaten too much cow shit... or in this case, political commentary/"news." One has no options other than to regurgitate or puff their cheeks and swallow it back down. Regurgitating is automatic, easy and we know how people love easy. 82 of 578 comments in this thread at level 3, the balance being regurgitated shit.
Christ man, is that all you've got? Try responding to the meat of the post next time... Snide comments at the end of them hardly count for conversational fodder. Don't worry though, you'll learn that - when you grow up.
Maybe they should try the RIAA method - try suing the wind and bees out of existance. Sure, p2p is still around but it was designed by people with lawyers.
So you're saying that this guy, rather than planting the seed he grew from his own field, should have thrown all that seed out and sued monsanto/his neighbor for contaminating his crop for the price of new seed/pain and suffering? Do you think that he and his littlebitty lawyer would've beat monsanto and their legions? And after he was leagally beaten by monsanto he'd be out the price of new seed plus the fees for those filthy fucking lawyers.
Ah, there's the answer - kill the lawyers and politicians.
"Also given the paranoia over security today I cant imagine the US Govt being in any great hurry to allow the masses get airbourne."
...security today? I'm suprized someone spent 200 million on this because the US govt has ALWAYS been a bunch of useless paranoid fucks. The reason we don't have the M400 yet is that the FAA has regulated it out of existance... They've given all that space to the commercial airliners just as they've given all that spectrum to the commercial broadcasters (given, sold something you didnt own, same thing).
You don't have the M400 today because that would alow you (or too many) too much freedom.
Eh, who gives a shit... Freedom is slavery anyhow.
Obedience to Authority is also written by Milgram about his experiment but now I'm wondering what I missed from the Perils of Disobedience.
Anyway, if you're looking for a recent account of the effects studied by Milgram check here and remember, that which has affected those affects you.
The name escapes me at the moment because I don't want to invoke Goodwin's Law, but it seems that there was another straight laced individual in history sometime who didn't dance, smoke, or drink. Eh, I'm sure someone else here will remember the name.

Well that's what you get for thinking. Don't worry though, that's soon to be taken care of if not already.

To get the 1GB account you will need to cough up 3.49GBP a month.
If the account only holds 1GB then what are they doing with the remaining 2.49GB/ a month?
You might also note that besides the US, China, Russia and a few other big players are filling their reserves.
Whooptydo?
No, filling fuel reserves is a precursor to war.
It may be a good time to figure out who's side you're on.
