Then they'd have to go teach at MIT and figure out how to email google searches to 3rd world countries. At least it's MS paying them and not some student's parents.
Exactly, it is an amazing amount of money for a 19yo. Which is why I don't feel so badly about it. How does a 19yo get this kind of money? If he weren't so spoiled and actually had to buy his own things then the settlement would have only been for $3k, and along the way he would have learned to appreciate what he's worked for instead of just being given everything.
And don't tell me that he had no idea what was going on. Chances are he was blabbing to his friends about how easy it is to use his little tool he made to find ANY files.
I just happened to be listening to Howard Stern this morning and he was talking to Cabby. Supposedly Cabby had emailed him some pictures and Howard was bitching because he couldn't open them.
He said something along the lines of,
'You didn't send me a gif or jpg, instead it was some P something something file that I couldn't open.' Now this is in front of an audience of millions of people, not very good publicity.
Every movie works on a budget. I don't see Hulk as being a huge hit, I doubt it has the FX budget of Matrix. ILM will only produce as good of CG as you can pay for and I think Hulk probably has a lot more minutes of CG than Matrix will.
Yup, my bad, point still holds though because you have to assume worst case, plus luggage, plus extra weight of seats, food/drinks. So it wouldn't surprise me if you are talking 300-400lb/person which is still quite a bit.
Are you a minority? If you are and you are looking to intern at a fortune 500 then it's no harder to get an internship than it was at the height of the dotcoms, actually, I'll argue it's easier. Internships are great for meeting quotas because the money often comes out of a different pot than regular salaries. Of course, don't expect them to actually get any work done, they'll be too busy going to diversity meetings and having their picture taken to be placed on brochures.
Sure, this might be exagerating slightly, but quite a good deal of truth is underneath. Mod me down for honesty...
But if I wanted I really wanted I could play with the color schemes enough to make the virgin mary's face appear in the yukatan. They could have just as easily made this photo appear that Mount Doom exhisted off the coast of Mexico.
Tell people to look for the man in the moon and they will. Or a rabbit.
Not that I don't believe this, I'm just pointing out that all of these digitally enhanced photos, be it from this or the hubbell, or whatever are just that. Enhanced.
I was in the same boat with attbi and finally decided enough was enough and dropped it for dsl last week. When I called to cancel attbi and they asked why, I told them it had gotten too expensive. Almost immediately the guy on the phone offered to knock $10 off the price. I said too little too late, but if i were you i'd try the idle threat.
Ok, maybe i'm being silly here, but what the heck difference does it matter whether its on the inside tracks or outside as far as speed goes? Is it not about RPMS rather than angular velocity? Outer tracks contain more info than inner tracks? This seems kind of strange.
Some people paying a little extra doesn't even come close to making the development costs worth it. In the end, the vast majority will choose saving a couple bucks over getting in an hour earlier. Look at the amount of time people spend going from one travel site to another just to shave 10 bucks off a ticket.
Doesn't save space? A typical roller-coaster will ride around 30 people at once. You can easily fit over 100 of these things in an area the size of some of the mega coasters.
That being said, the only thing that this has in common with a roller-coaster is that they put coaster in its name. For the category of rides that this really fits into you may be right, 2 people isn't very many and compared to those rides it may have a very good hourly capacity.
Very little science is being done because it is currently a 3 man crew. Up until just recently NASA has had the 6 man crew pretty much in limbo because of cost over runs. Before a larger crew can be used Node 3 and the US HAB module need to be launched and attached. After that the Japaneese Experiment Module (JEM) will be launched and attached. It's not until JEM is opeations that any resemblence of real science can occur
who thinks that this is a totally made up troll of a submittal? I mean, a bobble head doll of the ceo? I find that extremely unlikely. Not to mention the ceo makes '65 million' crap that is added to try to make it even moer sensational. And if it's posted anonymously, why not a company name associated with it? Troll troll troll...
Assuming a relatively small surface area is exposed then the major immediate concern is blood boiling off. The Russian Orlan space suit has a protective rubber bladder on the inside that is supposed to buy you enough time to save yourself in the event of a glove blowing off or puncture.
The US suit on the other hand put more effort in ensuring that the situation won't occure at all.
My understanding is that it takes 2 seconds or so for your blood to start boiling when exposed to space.
If you can't do the time, blah blah blah. If you're smart enough to uncap your cable modem then you should have been smart enough to understand that what you are doing involves activities that fall into the jurisdiction of the FBI.
The FBI does not do anything half ass, when they act, they throw their weight around. Excessive, perhaps, but I guess the people who did this should have thought a little bit more about what could happen.
Plus, who knows, maybe the FBI knows something about these guys that we don't and they are terrorists;)
Come on people, it's obvious that the only real workable solution in the forseable future is nukes. Of course the tricky part is detonation at the appropriate time. Afterall, we're talking about a closure rate that is incredible (100k+ km/hr?).
Those who claim that the smaller pieces will be just as destructive as the whole are stopping the scenario short. You don't just shoot and hit with one or more at the same time. Over some amount of time you continously hit it with nukes, breaking the smaller pieces into still smaller until the pieces are either too small to do massive damage or blow out of our path.
In my opinion, all of these exotic solutions are a waste of time and money. Hell, at this point even the nuke solution isn't very feasible and considering the chances of being hit not a very good way to spend money.

Stop living in the past. College is over, get over it. Move on with your life. Who cares about what your alma mater is doing. All they want you for is to give them more money, as if tuition wasn't enough.

And add another 200,000lbs? Ya think that may affect how things fly a bit?
And what's the environmental impact of billions of windmills and huge solar farms that take up half the area of the US South West?
