if there is a glitch? Man, I hope there aren't any hackers with a mean streak there. The first thing I thought of was.... I wonder if I can buy a fresnel lens that big... You know where I am going with this. Would that qualify as a weapon of mass destruction? You could really do some damage.
TDK CD-R media had a 100 year guarantee printed right on the package. I can't tell you if it was BS or not but TDK seems to take their work seriously. No rebranding, new R&D (that scratchproof coating) and pride in their work. They even have a CD-R for long term digital photo storage. I can't tell you if it is really anything special or just marketing BS, but take a look.
Any how the biggest killers are UV, heat and moisture. Stop those 3 and you should be making the most of any brand. Mabey inside a pelican case w/ desicant inside a bank safe deposite box? Ehhhh overkill, I know.
1. Over at archive.org they have some old betty boop cartoons as well as popeye and the like. Convert them to VCD burn em and pass them out to the little kids. OpenCD for the parents.
2. woolite washing liquid (softiner?) will dry clear when "painted" on most any surface and will flourese vividly under UV.
3. Old laptop with Wifi external speakers webcam and VNC can be placed outside in a scarcrow or similar decoration can make for a spooky and interactive display. Geek certified.
4. Old R/C reciever and servos also work well. Once build a severed arm that was placed where parents would stand waiting for kids and could touch there feet. Watchem jump.
it's just that I think that the US has way too high of standards when it comes to "acceptable" levels.
Granite and marble are both naturally radioactive, as are bricks used for building materials. The US capitol building has a natural background radation of 30 microrems per hour. which is higher than EPA limits for "safe" LINK
Strom Thurman and Congress brain damage jokes may now start.
As a driver in LA I can tell you from countless hours on the 405, 605, 91, and other freeways that the mileage you get at 80mph is nearing an order of magnitude better than 2.5 - 7 mph that you normally get in SoCal. Smooth or not smooth, that best mileage is in 5th gear not at idle. If the Feds want to improve fuel economy and air polution that could start by reducing the number of people (cars) on the road.
Please note: This is not a troll, just my opinion from living and working in SoCal. YMMV
Why does the person wearing the T-shirt in that photo has 2 lumps on his chest?
That would be a rare example of what is known as a FE-Male. Fulminate of Estrogen infused male. Handle with caution as they can be extremely volatile, but with proper care can be quite nice to have around.
Did anyone catch the name of the Judge that started this BS...
From TFA... The FEC is in the unusual position of being required to extend the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act to online politicking because of a federal judge's order last fall. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ruled--click here for the PDF file--that the FEC improperly exempted the Internet. She also ordered the agency to rewrite its rules.
Isn't that the same ho that let Microsoft off the hook a few years ago... She is really starting to bug me...
I can marry a handfull of 16 year old girls in Utah but I face felony charges if I see/post don't filter/label pictures of my honeymoon on the 'Net? WTF?
Hold on, there are talking about it right now. Last I heard it was 3001: The final odyssey, only with 2061 rolled into it in the beginning for context.
No budget has been allocated, so it may never happen, but ya never know. Hollywood is in this "recycling" mode right now, comic books, old movies, prequels, and all.
Well I'll ask you to consider a few things first...
1. Calculate the energy density from all of these sources.
2. Compare to sunlight energy density at > 1KW/M^2
3. Factor in sunlight containing an ionizing radation componant.
4. Factor in pr0n health benifits. here and here
So yes it is safer to sit at home with the microwaves and pr0n that to go outside.
Ummm... so how is this different that Rent-to-Own. They have been doing that for years with TV's and furniture, why not videos. Hell I have been asking my local Blockbuster to do something like this for years.
Yeah, DO NOT USE ALCOHOL. Regardless of what someone else tells you. It will dry out the rubber rollers and then you will know the true meaning of paper jams. Use something that will mosturise the rubber, soft and supple is key here.
As for the artical poster, the best solution I have found is Ebay. Buy an old Laserjet 4 - 5 with a low pagecount. They may not be the fastest things on the planet but they just work (as you know)
Also feel free to drop some hate mail over on HP and their new big chief Carly Fiorina. She must have something to do with this.
Here is a suggestion that might not be useful, but i'll post it anyway.
Use MPEG1. I know it's old and isn't that great but it will play anywhere and you don't have to run it at VCD bitrates, at 320x240 384 kbps gives ok results and then move your hosting to a better service, Speakeasy told me that they don't have hard bandwith limits (as of last year when I was looking into something similar)
With this setup you KNOW that your videos will play on anything from PDA's to old hardware to Mac, Windows, Linux, and damn near anything else with a screen. With other setups your visitors will also have to find and download the proper codec, and their machines are going to have to have enough CPU power to deal with DivX XviD (older machines may choke on them) with MPEG1 no "extra" downloads. Plays Eveywhere (tm) and as an extra you can make them available as a download or stream on demand with the use of a M3U tag file. (google for it)
Remember MPEG1 is the MP3 of the video world for more reasons than the obvious.
What?! You have got to be kidding... if the Alpha Ins Co. did just that, charged everyone the prevailing rate then I would switch to the Beta Ins Co with better rates (as would a number of other people) causing a bad day(r) for the Alpha Ins Co.
Then comes the entire the religious robots thing. I wanted to like it so much...
Don't think of it as religion, think of it as the cylons "praying" or "communicating" with the cylon z990 mainframe... From their individual viewpoint, they are talking with their creator (god). And if I were to create true AI I think I would want them to refer me to as God.

You wanna see some funny math...
1. Your usual big box PC is 399. Often in those Dell mailers I get you can buy them on sale for 299.00. Buy one.
2. Now click here and follow directions. 200 bucks back on a Windows refund ain't bad.
3. Resell on ebay.
4. Lather, rinse, repeat
5. PROFIT!

That was the first thing that crossed my head. I am surprised that you were the first person to mention it on /.
