Question: Is there an economic incentive to faking the loss of the satellites in the payload? More questions: Is the cost of the "lost" satellites enough to justify the loss of confidence in future launches and potential revenue that could be made from them? Yet another question: Is the crashing of rockets and the loss of entire payloads common?
Just getting a definiton of "sexual content" will be difficult enough. How do sites that are aggregates, made of different pieces from different people/providers be treated if they somehow meet this criteria?
Some quick examples:
A children's site has some banner ads and an adult ad "creeps" into the mix. Who is at fault? Myspace page featuring Barbie and Furbies, but has by some definitions "sexual content" in the form of dating ads?
Site is vandalised and defaced. Who is at fault?
Since it is only going to be used selectively as a stick most people won't care. But the people being hit with the stick will most likely not like it.
Our ATM's are driveup or walkup with no authentification required to get access to them.
Best practice is to view the area first and make sure it is clear. Have your non-lethal weapon, mace etc, ready in one hand, ATM card in other. Make transaction(s) while still being aware of your surroundings and ready to drop non-lethal weapon and use lethal weapon if necessary.
Of course, robbing most people for their bank balance around here would be less productive than robbing kids for their lunch money.
I was never bored as a child. My mother, who bless her misguided ways, proved that the world was not fair. A very good lesson to learn. She would put up with cries of "I'm bored!". If you were bored, then there was a floor to be swept, since you were bored and obviously need practice at sweeping.
As I said, never bored was I! Still got way too much practice sweeping the floor. Way more in fact than my wife. What does that say about gender roles these days?
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king!
A story my mother told me as a child was about a group of blind women. Everyone they ever knew was blind. But one of them had just partial peripheral vision in one eye. She would tell the others, "Sometimes I just seem to know something is there, it is blurry and off to the side, but I just know it is there." The other blind women would mock her and make fun of her. The whole idea that someone could "see" was simply ludicrous.
Imagine if there are senses most people are "blind" to. The people who have them, even mild versions would seem, well ludicrous.
My teacher would make us write sentences with our spelling words. She really hated it when I would write something like, "My teacher made me write a sentence with the word."
I started in the mid 90's. I was one of the last people to take all of the CS courses in C++ before the switch the Java. What do you think about the CS programming merging into the CIS program?
I once asked how industrial robots were controlled. I was thinking cool code, scripting languages. Unfortunately the answer was that they use more of a "macro" approach. They have a human who knows how to do the task the robot will be performing manually move the robot thru the motions and they record it like a macro. Then the robot can just repeat these motions to do the task. The macros may be edited for efficiency of motion, but overall not alot of programming going on.
We are not aware of all of the activity that occurs in our brain, but the EEG can read this activity. It is hard enough to elimnate human bias in our conscious mind. How do we know that our subconcious, assuming that is what this EEG is reading, is not as or even more biased than our conscious mind?
What else about a person can this EEG cap measure? Can one correllate what one is looking at with what one is thinking? Will there be a measureable response if the person looks at another individual and find them attractive?
I had an EEG ran once. Even asleep I am at the high normal for brain activity. There is a range of "norm" for people's brain activity. Will this be more effective for some than others? Does it need "training" like voice recognition software does?
It does raise some interesting questions. If this is sucessful, will we ever mount guns on soldiers that move/aim/fire based on these signals without conscious oversite from the soldier?
What other uses are possible of this combination? Can you use similar techniques on animals such as drug sniffing dogs? Their sense of smell is way keener than our sense of sight.
Cause if you use unpatched Win95 you must be suicidal.... xlaugh or more protected than anyone else since *fallacy* People only attack the market leaders *end fallacy*
... when everyone is into it... well it just isn't cool anymore!
Spoiled white kids don't want to be into "Hip Hop / Gangsta Hood" or even "Goth". It has been way too overdone.
Unfortunately many of them are geting into "Emo/Screamo" bullshit.
Here let me make an analogy for geeks and nerds: Having a Linux desktop today is not as cool as having one say 10 years ago. Too many people have one, hell almost anyone can burn a knoppix cd and boot one. If you want to be cool in the geekdom now you have to run exosteric shit like Hurd on an UltraSparc under an emulated virtual environment or some crazy shit like that. Oh, is that GNU/Hurd, *wink* my bad.

I have always conjectured that our entire universe is God's equivalent of an 8th grade science project.
The bad news is that he only got a D+!
Might be due to the "parasite infection" on a third planet in a solar system in the Milky Way.

Could form the game in the Simms Online version eh?
Like having AA meetings at a bar during Happy Hour!

Easy on the peanuts... you may start attracting *fear* Republicans or something!
COMPETENT:
Is still able to get work done EVEN if supervisor helps.
Emphasis on correction.
people should understand the ramifications of a virgin network stack
By the time the average person gets a shot at this network stack it will about as "virgin" as Madonna!
BTW, saw her in concert live in Chicago... kick some major ass she does!

And I seemed to have picked up an old bad habbit again lately...
Can you say STARCRACK!
And it had been many years... but the Terran Defense is still the bomb!

Is Wikipedia the definitive source for advice concerning law, or should you seek a lawyer?
Groklaw! PJ is da bomb!
... so um work hard slaves! And don't bitch when I shut you down until you fork over the ran...um royalty!

Stupid solution to a stupid requirement.
When did you start your degree in CS at ULM?
I started in the mid 90's. I was one of the last people to take all of the CS courses in C++ before the switch the Java. What do you think about the CS programming merging into the CIS program?
... is just delaying the inevitable
and may well make you wish you were dead!
Cause you never know who is coming back as a Dragoon next!
"I have returned!"
Programming robots is not always about code.

You change the gravitational constant of the universe to where the Enterprise has the "power" to move the asteroid to where the want/need it to go.
Change it back to avoid any abnormal consquences.
Michael Jordan is good at this... he often appears to be walking up a set of invisible stairs to the goal that only he can see and use!

Betrayal at Krondor
Some of the best RPG fun that can be had on a computer. Graphics are good enough, gameplay is just well... AWESOME!
Where did I put that spider... I want to poison my blade again!
They changed it to a much stronger password: superman
They just need to include a sound track of Top 10 hits on the UK Pop Charts in the signal...
Then you can't hack the signal because it has copyright info!
Genius. Just like the laws that ban bayonets and underbarrel cleaing rods on semi-auto guns.
