And actually, this isn't really necessary - Topeka is already like what the rest of the world will be like after the bomb. We like to refer to it as the armpit of the midwest.
If you could figure out a way to nuke everything west of Lawrence, and somehow miss Aggieville, then let me know and I'll do whatever possible to get the ball rolling.
Reminds me of my favorite bad math joke:
Q: What do you get when you cross a mosquito and a mountain climber?
A: Nothing - You can't cross a scalar and vector!
The joy of flash memory is that you don't have to keep only one thing on it for all time.
You could buy one 2GB stick and store your other games on a PC, and just swap em out when you're done. It might just be me, but I usually stick to one game for a while, not flipping between 3-4 different ones.
In this type of case, is a defendant guilty until proven innocent?
The presumption of innocence still applies, but just because you're assumed to be innocent it doesn't mean that you don't have to:
1) Show up for court
2) Retain a lawyer ($$$)
Lawyer fees can easily range into a few thousand dollars for a simple case. Also, since this is civil case and not a criminal case, the plaintiff only has to show that it's likely they were harmed, whereas in a criminal case it must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. This is why in trials like the OJ Simpson case he was found guilty in civil court but not in criminal court.
NiMH batteries don't store as much power per volume as alkalines - almost none of the rechargeable chemistries do (although some lithium cells come close). The important thing to remember is that primary alkaline cells are around 1.5V/Cell, whereas NiMH batteries are 1.2V/Cell, so equivalent mAH != same amount of available power. Also, NiMH batteries usually have less mAH per cell than similarly sized Alkalines (around 1100 mAH vs. 1500 mAH IIRC). I believe they also have a slightly higher internal resistance, so you can't discharge them as hard as you can an alkaline, but it's been a long time since I did battery stuff at work.
The great thing about NiMH batteries is that they're reasonably cheap, rechargeable and have slightly better discharge characteristics.
Alkalines are pretty amazing in terms of energy density, and that's why they're so useful. NiMH is a good substitute when you can get away with it, but that's not always possible.

I really hope this is a joke - that's an awful passphrase.
You'd be better off using just the first/last/some other letter of the words instead of the entire words themselves.
In my town, I believe the first GB is free, then all following GBs are $5.
They did just up our rate from 1MB/s to 3 MB/s though, so I guess that's something.
The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.
So, why aren't all the gun and ammo manufacturers deemed guilty of contributory murder? Lockpick manufactures held responsible for burgularies?
The difference is whether or not you have knowledge of what will happen with your contribution. When you make a file available to download the ONLY possible outcome is that somebody will download it, and despite the promise of P2P apps for legitimate uses, let's face it, right now probably 99% of P2P traffic is infringing use.
The gun analogy isn't a very good one, but lemme try again.
1) Your buddy asks to borrow your gun to go shoot some pumpkins, as he has in the past, but this time he goes and offs his girlfriend. - Probably NOT contributory.
2) Your buddy tells you he just broke up with his girlfriend, and damn, he needs to get some revenge on that bitch, and can he borrow your gun. - You're probably in a spot of trouble.
Please try to remember that these are legal matters open to interpretation by the courts. Intent has a great deal to do with the punishments meted out.
Oh, thats right. These days, youre now responsible for _others_ actions.
Partially, yes, you are. It's called contributory infringement. Look at it this way - "No your honor, I didn't kill Vito, Luigi did it. I just handed him the gun."
IIRC, flash memory is not designed to be constantly read. I believe it has a limited amount of flashes, so you wont be able to watch movies from a memory stick.
You've neatly contradicted yourself here. Flash memory does have limited WRITE cycles, usually in the neighborhood of 10,000 writes before failure, and failures are usually handled by a bad-block recognition and marking scheme so it is pretty much transparent to the user.
Actually, there was a follow up a few days later where it was discovered that simply reversing the order of the internal letters in the words would again render them difficult to read.
Jsut thguoht I'd pniot taht out, bsuacee I fnoud it initseretng.
I wasn't aware there was a declaration of war agains Al Queda. Can there be prisoners of war without a war? How does one even declare a war against a group with no boundaries or fixed locations?
Typically, you are responsible in some fashion for crimes committed with your property. You may not be 100% culpable, but you are most definately not totally innocent.
For example, if somebody takes your gun out of the closet and shoots somebody with it, you won't be charged with the murder, but you could very possibly be held liable in a civil suit for negligence, and would have to prove that you took sufficient steps to insure your firearm could not be used for criminal activities.
One of the many rules copyright law is that you do not have permission to redistribute any piece of any copyrighted work; this is why musicians must get permission before using a sample of someone else's work.
Therefore, distributing ANY small slice of the movie, no matter how small, is infringement.
Of course, this is somewhat silly, since the movie is in a digital format, and therefore distributing any number which appears in the digital stream is technically illegal.
Here's a curious one: if an email just contains a link to "Advertisement or Promotion" and the content itself is not contained in the email, does that count?
I know I get a lot of spam that is pretty much just HTML containers for images located elsewhere.
General Jack D. Ripper: Mandrake, do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, Mandrake, children's ice cream.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Lord, Jack.
General Jack D. Ripper: You know when fluoridation first began?
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: I-- no, no. I don't, Jack.
General Jack D. Ripper: Nineteen hundred and forty-six. Nineteen forty-six, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.
How do you know about Ultra-Blue Order #745-JUR Citizen? At your security level you should only have knowledge of Infra-Red level security orders. Knowledge of information above your security level is treason.
You have clearly been in contact with Commie Mutant Traitors, which is treason. Please report to the nearest suicide booth immediately.
