Get Sergey and Larry's dicks out of your mouth. "Google is Great! Must worship them and suck their dicks!"
I recently posted something in the Apple channel about fanboys getting Jobs' cock out of their mouths. My post was deleted. I guess it's okay to say the same kind of fellatiatic shit about Gates, Ellison, Brin and Page.
I suspect this stunt was pretty successful. Well, I don't really know that--all I know is that I hadn't heard of gog.com until it "shut down"--but I bet there are a lot of others out there who hadn't heard about it until its greatly exaggerated demise slashvertisement. So in that respect, it was a success: informing people of its existence.
I still haven't visited the site, nor do I plan to, so it failed in the big picture.
Why am I still at work right now? Fuck this noise. Later.
Heck, he could have found an apple fan-boy in line in the terminal who would have checked them and mailed them to him from the USA for the chance to suck his dick.
I'm confused as to why, 18 seconds into the movie, they show a split screen with the darker half "overexposed" and the brighter half "underexposed". You'd figure the people who put this together wouldn't get it backwards like that, but evidently they did.
Why do you think it'd feel like a 15 foot drop or rise? I doubt it would, if the turn were done smoothly. From what I'm reading, roll control (the control of rotation of the axis along the direction of travel) is not a serious issue with flying wings. That seems to indicate to me that the issue of storms and such (most which wouldn't generate a significant rolling motion in the vehicle) is a bit exaggerated.
I didn't say it'd feel like, I said it would be. Obviously I have no way of knowing how many flights you've been on, but, next time you're on one, look out the window from right after takeoff until about fifteen minutes into the flight. Do the same thing at the end of the flight. Watch the wingtips in comparison to level reference, the ground or horizon or clouds. Note how the plane has to bank rather frequently after takeoff and before landing. Note how the wingtips of your plane go up and down several feet in the process, often in less than a second. Now, imagine being on a flying wing, and being towards the wingtip. Do you really want to be dropping or hopping five, ten, fifteen feet in a second or less?
I don't know, maybe the flights you've taken were flown by pros or very smooth autopilots, and didn't have a complicated approach pattern. I've flown in and out of airports that are tricky to get to, often involving rather quick 270* turns or flying around mountains. They're kind of scary in a 737's aisle seat, let alone a wingtip seat on the Flying Wing of the Future.
But look, maybe I'm wrong. I've already made myself late to work writing this, so maybe you can help and do the math. Figure out the distance the wingtip would move at a 5, 10 and 15 degree bank, at 50 and 100 foot distances from the roll axis of the aircraft. Should be easy.
While I don't refute your point, Pla123, I feel I should point out that passenger aircraft are not pressurized to sea level pressure. I believe--and no, it isn't fact, but I bet it's pretty close--that airliners are pressurized to ~7000 feet above sea level. What is that, like, 800mb? Anyway, there it is.
Another problem with a flying wing passenger aircraft is the fact that there won't be many, if any, window seats. Okay, minor problem? What about the forces that would act on people towards the wingtips when banking? A relatively minor turn that would barely be noticed in a tubular airframe would be magnified into a fifteen foot drop or rise towards the edges. Now imagine trying to land in turbulent, stormy weather, and being really far from the center axis of the aircraft. Whatever money would be saved by the efficient wing design would be eaten up by barf bags and steam cleanings of the cabin after every flight.
I know I'm one of the lucky ones (read: poor enough to take the standard deduction), but it takes me fifteen minutes to do my taxes. On paper. For free. Nyah.
I used a setup like this when I would go hiking in northern Nevada. You have a Yaesu VX-8R?
Getting kind of long in the tooth these days, but I still love my Kenwood TH-F6 tribander HT.
You're a Louisiana native, but you can't fucking spell your home state's name correctly? Twice!? Way to perpetuate the stereotype about the average intelligence of Louisianans.
I seem to have a big problem with telemarketers. A big problem, like 10-15 calls a day. I changed my phone number and relaxed in the week of silence. Then I had to update my Cox billing information, and they got the new number. Not even two hours later, the telemarketers started calling again.
My point is, your ISP has (probably) been selling you down the river since you signed up, as has pretty much everyone else you've given personal information to. Magazine subscriptions, any number of websites, your bank, utilities...nothing new here.
Thinkgeek products are crap. Last three electronic items I've ordered didn't work right out of the box, and the last shirt I ordered was two sizes too small. Never ordering anything from them again.

I think submitter should discover something called a "calendar" and write "download bank data" every three months.
He could even use an electronic, automated, free calendar like the one Google offers, and have reminders sent to his email/phone.

Pretty much anything sold by Thinkgeek these days is poor quality. Buckyballs are apparently no different.
Note: The above statement is presented as fact, not opinion.
Let's see how long it takes for my comment to be removed.

FTFY.
Give me your credit card number, expiration date, CVV code and billing zip code and I'll check to see if it's still in our system. Thanks for using PayPal©!

98 feet underground? That wouldn't survive much of a nuclear attack.
(We're a kitchen-focused family.)
What, so, fat?
I think New Jersey is probably the butt of more jokes than Poland. Now even more so.
Or send a robot back in time to rape his mom.
FTFY.
Clearly Facebook needs to push ads for Ouija boards and séance materials when they suggest a re-connect.
Are you crazy? I could make a killing finding lost cats.
Step 1: Kidnap cats. Catnap cats. Whatever.
Step 2: Wait for "Lost Cat" posters to go up.
Step 3: Profit!
Looking at your thirty-five posts in this thread, I have determined beyond any reasonable doubt that you are a moron.
I want to have sex with this game.
I want it to bear my kittens.

Yes, where Louisianna is last.

Idiot.
You're still wrong. Baud != bits per second. Baud = symbol rate. Why do people (people on /. no less) make this mistake?
On what band would that be?
