What keeps some random person who owns a gun from taking one of these down, exactly? Does the impact get distributed in such a way that it will not be hurt by conventional arms? Do keep in mind that being in American, conventional arms is a 50-caliber sniper rifle capable of going straight through body armor (of several people).
3) Nothing with a debit card. You know whether you use a debit card you can use it as a credit card and sign the receipt, yes? It's just a matter of what button you or the cashier hits before swiping the card. In fact one of my debit cards had a promotion for free things, but I'd have to use it as a credit card for the signed receipts.
I just wanted to say that I found it left leaning. The charges against the right are valid, whereas the charges versus the left are silly. Money and oil vs gay lovers? Their Kerry bashing is complete silliness while their Bush bashing is truthful.
I'm not complaining about it at all, I am just suggesting you look at it a different way.
I thought I'd reply simply because someone decided to mod me down for (I am guessing) the reason you stated.
Yes, I am obviously overstating the case. No, this private corporation is not deciding the outcome of the election. However, yes, they are assisting both dominant parties in the notion that third parties have no place. So, they are not choosing the outcome of this election, except that they are explicitly stating "elect one of these two".
Solid cage = safer
Second, this little critter has a solid cage that can withstand the problem I just mentioned - its own mass. Most vehicles will crumple under their own mass at moderate speeds. At 65 km/h, head-on this car will walk away mostly unscathed, and the passenger will only have minor injuries.
From what I hear, cars crumple for a reason. That reason being changing your deceleration from 60 mph to 0 in.0001 seconds to.01 seconds (made up numbers, but it's something like that). Now with the advent of the airbag this might to be an issue anymore, but extremely rapid accelerations is very bad on the body, especially backwards acceleration. Sorry I can't really back this up, maybe someone else can. I just don't remember.
I think books will be replaced by electronic devices made specifically to replace books. Sort of like the little pads in Star Trek, portable LCD screens capable of holding millions of books with images, let someone take notes (direct pen I assume), long battery-life, etc. Once those conditions are met I'll be done with physical books. The price has to be reasonable enough that you're not scared to take it around with you. That is, technology isn't there yet.
I don't think that so much matters right now. If we can pick a fault line and tell it's going to quake, we're doing well. Better than anything previous, as far as I know.
Anyone notice that volcano in Mexico went off when Helens was starting to scare people? That's on the west coast as well. It could be coincidence, as I haven't heard anyone try to make a connection. Same fault line though.
Is this all that you can come up with? Could you point to something to refute what was said?
Actually, does that even matter? They are responsible for knowing this if the CIA knew this. They said what they said while the knowledge existed in their little club. Whether or not the president was personally aware of the fact is irrelevant, as far as I am concerned.
You accidentally gave me an interesting point. I do agree caffeine is addictive (didn't we know this for decades?) but on the subject of withdrawal it seems quite strange.
Let's say you're a coffee drinker and you have only a small amount in the morning. Will you start feel withdrawal in the afternoon or evening, that is, your body asking for more coffee?
I personally drink coffee on an on and off basis. Sure sometimes I have headaches when I don't have coffee. Sometimes I have headaches when I do have coffee. Sometimes I am jittery until I've had coffee (this presents a problem with a studying habits-- coffee putting me to sleep!). The caffeine symptoms don't actually seem directly related to the coffee itself, that is, coffee never makes them go away and I never feel like coffee when I have them. However, sometimes I feel like having a cup of coffee. In all honesty I'll just think "I could really go for a cup right now." whether it's 9 am or 9 pm.
As a disclaimer I've never been addicted (knowingly) to any other drug, so I don't know if it's common for withdrawal and cravings to be completely separate. It just seems to me that the side effects I have aren't actually tied to coffee, but caused by something else (possibly just natural). On the other hand every so often (perhaps once or twice a week) I spontaneously want coffee.
Ok I apologize for not drawing any conclusions. Can anyone help me out?
Why don't we spend this money on making sure another American doesn't kill me? I'm sure the odds of that happening are thousands of times greaterthan anyone outside of the country.
I wonder how many people over the past 10 years have purchased computers pre-installed with Windows, only to immediately wipe it and reinstall Windows?
Seriously though, I always completely wipe a new computer. That gets rid of Windows Me or XP Kiddie edition to way for a 'better' windows. On the other hand nowadays I'd never purchase a desktop computer from anyone ever again. Laptops on the otherhand I still feel like I don't have much choice.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah and what the fuck is up with this WTF?
I'll be right back, my roommate's finally going to tell me what BRB means.
I'll just reply to myself since 5 of the 6 people who responded to me said the same thing (some more intelligently than others).
It doesn't start up there.

Maybe to well.

The corporation is run by the two major parties. What else would you expect them to do?
I expect the election not to be run by the two major parties? I don't know where this is getting confusing for you.

A private corporation is in charge of who becomes the next president?
One ticket, please.

Apparently you haven't tried a GIS with the filter off.
Also, your baby will be fine without a video feed
Wait-- you're on to something. All you need is a stap, a video camra, and a baby able to hold a couple kilos on its head.

It's called responsibility.
I'm afraid of the 30% of people who found my post "informative"
I've donated money to many software projects. I've illegally downloaded software. I will continue to do both. By your logic, I don't think I exist.
I hear they have a wonderful view of Mount St. Helens.
I hear Coke tasted a whole lot better before corn syrup came around, so I am therefore against it.

Hah enough of that propaganda. I buy a gun, I can never control who decides to hold onto it. You're simply wrong. I'm sorry.
Ah, no. I'd prefer not to do such a selfish thing.
Why don't we spend this money on making sure another American doesn't kill me? I'm sure the odds of that happening are thousands of times greaterthan anyone outside of the country.
For future reference I'd like to call any weapon when used from space onto Earth a weapon of mass destruction. Seriously. Even a guy firing a pistol.
