But what if ALL your country's children survived the forest? Would they all be content to follow that one leader, or would they each start to get their own idea of how the leading should go, and then start to create trouble?
It sounds like they use an envelope of bubbles to encase the nacelles in air to reduce the friction between the nacelles and the water. If it works for increasing the speed through water, maybe the same methodology can be applied to increase speed of travel through air.... Surround the craft with a vacuum to reduce air friction. Maybe call it superturbulence.
I did that to a Windows Vista machine that was a store demo. The result looked HORRIBLE. You could finally tell where microsoft moved all the controls for the explorer windows, and it just looked very sloppy. They used the fancy aero theme to cover up the toolbar and pane boundaries.
The skills you get from that activity have a value all their own. You could become proficient enough to start your own repair company. It's like kickstarter for your hobby.
Why does clock drift happen? It doesn't need to happen. It can totally be avoided. It only happens because the equipment manufacturers design inaccurate clocks to save money. My quartz LCD watch from 1985 was accurate to within 1 second per year. That would WAY outlast the usefulness of the medical device. There should be no way in the world that device was off by 24 minutes.
Right now, I'm dealing with the same problem in my brand new car. It has a fancy on-board computer with a screen that tells me gas mileage, service info, mp3 and radio interface, etc.... The clock is ridiculously fast (gains 3 minutes a week). My new $20,000 car should have a clock in it at LEAST as accurate as the watch I can get from a happy meal.
I used to wear those all the time, and I can tell you this:
The Databanks have lots of great features, but are cheaply made. Often times the rubber buttons just wear down like a used eraser, which makes them hard to press.
More often than not, the total failure of the watch is due to the case being made out of plastic, and the spring rods tear away from the case, and can never stay put again. Even the watches with the shiny chrome case are just chrome painted plastic. I would be happier if they were made with metal.
Instead, I got an affordable INVICTA automatic watch on Amazon for about $100. It has a second hand, and Day-of-Month indicator. It's solid, made of real metal, and just works.
If they're replacing an old video tape system from the 80's, then you can bet that the resolution of the cameras are standard definition. They may even be B&W. If the storage medium was tape, it was probably stored in analog by something as simple as a VCR. Those heads can clog so easily, and degrade so that the resolution is even worse.
Adding new cameras gives them the opportunity to have higher resolution video, controllable mounts for direction and zoom, and probably a professional DVR system that would store the video digitally, which would make it easier to submit video of suspects to law enforcement for standard crimes, not just terrorists.
It looks like a really slick device... Smooth curves and all self contained.... But a quick look at the details shows that it requires you to REGISTER your device! This is the way of implementing DRM into the machine. It runs on proprietary software that required you to activate the machine so you can download all sorts of shape files from "the cloud". What a way to take a great idea and make it terrible.
Microsoft could license the Kinect to Sony for use on the playstation 3. I bet *THAT* would stimulate the production of software that uses it! I would love to have the Kinect on the PS3, because the MOVE controller is stupid.
They don't care if you hurt people, or even if you do it publicly.... But hacking into my server could cause me to LOSE MONEY, and B&N just won't stand for that.
Alternatively, the solution is simple: Let's all go visit Barnes and noble today and ask them for that particular issue. When they see how much MONEY they could be making by selling it, they may change their tune.
If I worked at Hulu, I'd be updating my resume about now.
Nobody works at Hulu. I have told their support reps that the HULU app for Tivo doesn't display the entire synopsis, and they said they are aware of it and working to fix it. That was 6 months ago. How long does it take?
You can kinda tell something about the submitter when you see the typo "management" instead of "manage". This lets you know that the submitter types "management" a lot. Probably a working class Joe.
Sony probably will not prevent used games from playing... AT LAUNCH (of PS4). They even did this before:
Their first PS3 allowed the user to play PS2 games. Subsequent PS3s dropped that feature. The PS3 had an "other OS" option... Then they took it away.
It would be a PR nightmare to release the PS4 with a catchphrase like "now only new games can be played", so they will allow the used games to be played initially, then, once they have sold enough consoles to get some serious market share, they will make an update that screws us all.
Well, ok, here is the thing.... People will only ask you your gender if they cannot tell, i.e, it's not blatantly obvious. You obviously don't ask Chuck Norris if he is male because: 1) You can see from his beard that he is. 2) He would shatter all of your teeth with his gaze.
The only people you would ask their gender of would be the ones that were NOT obvious, and you might need to know how to refer to the applicant in the third person.
I would think that ANYONE (not just 29% of 14.6% of applicants) who appears to obviously be a member of their gender would take offense to being asked, as if it was NOT obvious.
Height or Weight: If you don't ask this question, then you end up with an elf like Will Farrell instead of Troy Verner. Ridiculous! Sure it's funny for a 2 hour movie, but if you were hiring actors to play elves at disneyworld, it may just be a stupid hiring decision. You're fired!
My memories of the original Amiga were from Infocom games. I myself had an Apple//e with a monochrome monitor. When I went to the local software store to pick up the latest Infocom game (a text-only based adventure), there would always be several there for the Amiga... A machine that was widely known for its graphics capabilities.
Funny that Apple turned out to be the richest company ever, and Commodore turned out to be the Flying Duchman....
Plus, the overall price of the product needs to come into account. Saving $.65 on the privacy invasion purchase of a Blu-Ray movie seems reasonable, but what about purchasing a car, or a new home? I might sacrifice a few details for a can of Coke, but not for a shotgun.

Just label it "Water". It's all connected anyway.

No....
But if your predecessor started to beat me with a lead pipe, and then you stopped the beating, I would vote for you.

Quiet! B&N might catch on and stop selling 2600 as well!

Call me when it's a catastrophe.
Are they measuring the spies by weight or volume? Most people would indicate a NUMBER of spies.....

You should have then asked her if she had any tattoos....
With the zigzag tower configuration, it's just more nooks and crannies for snow to collect in and block even more sunlight.
I'll wait for Zero Point Energy.
