Wow, going back in time and killing your own father or grandfather. I didn't see that card at the Hallmark store!
PS I didn't see any pictures of this new model. Is she hot?
I doubt redundancy would have helped here. I think they would've installed sensors assuming the failure would've been a spring jamming or something similar.
Resulting in a spacecraft with multiple upside-down sensors.
This is one of the more geeky ideas I've ever had--and it worked great! A couple of years ago, I wrote a Perl script that used sox to take mp3 songs and speed it up to my running pace (about 157 bpm) without altering pitch. The script would play the track list to my MD recorder which I ran with. My MD recorder broke awhile ago so I haven't used it lately, but I'm starting to think I might finally get an mp3 player for this purpose to get me running again.
It takes a little getting used to, but running to the beat can't be beat!
Everyone (incorrectly) believes DOS == bad, no mouse == bad. What they fail to realize is how all the mouse movements/menu naviation slow you down. I just left a job where they are getting ready to transition to a Windows program because "DOS is bad." I bet it won't seem so bad when they see how it takes twice as long to do the same task.
There's a reason for the name keyboard shortcuts. I hope their new program has them.
West coast? Not exactly... USS Tautog (read about the ship's early years in "Blind Man's Bluff"!), out of Pearl Harbor. My one and only deployment was to the West Coast. How's that for seeing the world?
Yep! I was quite jealous of them when I was in the US Navy. Not only did they hardly ever go to sea, but they had beer on board! And Victoria BC is a pretty cool place to be stuck in port.
But to answer the original OT question, the US runs alarms basically the same way--sound the alarm, announce the casualty, and sound it once more.
Our network setup is sort of weird, like last year; we connected the camping-site via wireless LAN and directional antennas with 'The Hall,' the local community center, which is the central gathering place for all activities.
There's nothing like a network connection to the rest of the world to make a real camping experience!
3 is the minumum number of dimensions to sustain life
Ok, I'll bite
Okay, I'll bite off the other end. Is our life sustaining universe only "3-D"? Could something from an additional dimension (which we don't see, but exists) be necessary for sustaining life?
A straight line? That's strange, every time I throw a ball it travels a parabolic path. Am I doing something wrong? Is it because my dad never taught me how not to throw like a girl?
Base-12? Base-10? I would think/.ers would rather have a Base-16 system! I mean, who among us doesn't love to do hexidecimal math? Not to mention the more interesting times things could happen:
Saw a hot woman coming home from work at around B:0D. Had a late dinner of fish at C:0D. And a good midnight(ish) snack at F:ED. Ok I'll stop now.
That's a pretty good idea. However, if we are using only power (ie electrical) cables from the sub, that's only accounting for a small fraction of the reactor's total power. It takes a heckuva lot of power to push an 8000 ton displacement tube of steel through the water, and there's no electricity involved in accomplishing that (normally). I wonder if they could somehow utilize the steam that would normally go to the main engines to drive outside generators. Hmm.. didn't we decom some subs before they were out of fuel? Maybe I'm wrong about that, but if not it sure seems like they could've been put to better use. Ah well, I'm sure the DOE gave it some thought.
That is a very good point. You can do a whole lot more with the long format. And, thankfully, my PBS station played each storyline all the way through, allowing me to get completely immersed in the story on a Saturday morning. That's really a large part of why it became so appealing to me.
I was shocked to eventually discover some PBS stations aired the episodes a half hour at a time (which is the only way I can watch it now, if I happen to catch it). Its unbearable to be teased like that!
Yes! I can remember having quite a crush on her. Didn't TB marry her in real life? Or is that just an awful rumor (or should I say "rumour")
Thanks for the Kazaa tip, I think I may have to DL it right now
Agreed, but in this case its not you who are being flashed--you are the one who's flashing! Who among us is going to want to see that? That poor card...

I thought this just funny at first, but now that I think about it a bit more, I seriously like this color scheme idea.
Can we also make the $50's feel smoother than the other bills? I always liked how they felt. (I am remembering this correctly, right?)
Did the BBC interview fail to clarify that the surveillance videos are taken from planes like the P-3? The videos are being *transmitted* over sattelite, not taken from them.
The article makes it clear in the first sentence:
Nato surveillance flights in the Balkans are beaming their pictures over an insecure satellite link - and anyone can tune in and watch their operations live.

I will go see the ATHF movie now!

Am I the only one who read that as "un-ionized"?
Finally I can replace my long lost peril-sensitive sunglasses that came with my Infocom game! I sure seemed to be in plenty of danger back then...

Sounds interesting enough to check out, even as an adult. I think I would prefer the news reporters talk to be as a kid rather than as a consumer.

No, his post got through
Sounds like the perfect case for Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer. I'm sure he's seen plenty of rocks in his time.
