and only using the peripherals that the good lord gave me.
I'll bet before long you'll be using artificial peripherals, and liking it. Eyeglasses/contacts/LASIK, hearing aids, maybe even a pacemaker or similar.
Can someone please explain to me why you are willing to pay astronomical monthly fees for Netflix on a recurring basis
Astronomical? I've been with Netflix since '02. My lifetime average (last time I checked) has been about $1.10 per movie. With a huge selection. And no time limit. And don't have to go anywhere to rent or return.
Next year, they can point to Cheney, and screech that he obtained (and implying that he will use) personal information on the whistleblowers. The exact mechanism of how he got it will be brushed away.
What they should make is an unmanned water tanker sort of airplane. It seems a little too risky that we are putting pilots lives in danger any way.
Flying unmanned is harder than sitting in the seat. Among other things, you can't feel the aircraft moving around(wind gusts), and you can't hear the change in engine sounds, and your vision is limited to what is on the monitor. These aircraft are big. C-130 and DC-10. I don't think space to take a pee is an issue.
Sorry, you really don't know what you're talking about. Lead is known to increase deviant behavior.
Whoosh.... Yes, lead (in paint and gas) is hazardous. But to single out that, and only that, as the definitive reason for a lowered crime rate is...simply silly.
Increased prosperity, greater law enforcement, greater merging of social strata...are also potential valid reasons. Or maybe we're just growing up a little as a society.
You obviously don't live in an urban environment with older apartment buildings.
I have in the past. I was born in such. Decades before lead paint was banned.
What is most amusing is rather than plagiarizing your precious Wikipedia
The items on that list are no less an indicator/reason for a lower crime rate since 1973 than is the advent of unleaded gas.
Except maybe two. Ethernet, and cell phones. Or maybe the extraordinarily long solar eclipse. Or maybe the founding of the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Or maybe it was something about causation, correlation, or coincidence.
Secondly, Shuttle has a maximum payload of 50,000lb, Soyuz is more in the region of 15,000lb. Lose a zero. Closer to 1,500lb (880kg) for Soyuz. Adjust your calcs accordingly.
In 20 years, the RIAA will have been completely replaced by a set of publicists. These publicists won't own the copyright to anything--they'll be paid, on salary, to hook the musicians up with venues, hire web designers for band websites, and in some cases find places to record.
What do you think the 'recording industry' was to begin with? Their current power did not spring forth fully formed. Started out small, got lucky with a couple of acts that made it big, then had the money/resources to take a chance (with their own rules) on no-name acts. And a few of those made it big.
And so the circle goes.
I just went and watched a segment. Doesn't look like a bunch of hoops to me. Find which one you want (oh look...you can search the metadata tags), and click play. Poof...it plays.
Now...you could make the valid argument about watching on the PC vs the TV, but many people output to the TV direct from the PC anyway. I often do. Yes, it is rather annoying that they've broken it up into small segments, but the search feature outweighs this, IMHO, anyway. What did Jon say about China, or the Air Force. All neatly sorted by date.
Plus, I don't have to devote storage space to it.
Is it perfect? No. It's a start, though. And no one particular method will ever be perfect for everyone.
If I have to sit in my computer chair and click a bunch of shit I'm not even going to bother.
Do you also have a meat paste drip in one arm, and a Mountain Dew drip in the other arm? God forbid you actually have to go through that huge motion of 'clicking' something.
Back in 2000, Riding the Bullet had pretty much the same thing happen. Download, and be honest and pay up. The community said "Ha", and downloaded anyway.
For all the talk about "donations" and "giving back to the artists"...free seems to trump even a tiny amount of donation money.
If Outlook (The most used E-Mail client currently) included a spam filter...
It does. And it works 'not too bad'. Of the few that have gotten past other means (Gmail, etc), I can remember only one or two in recent months not getting caught in the Outlook Junk Email folder.

Unless you are a rower or something, you are obese. Sorry.
If your body fat is over 20%, well, you are fat. If it is over 30%, not good, not good.
BMI and body fat percentage are two totally different things.

Personally I'm of the camp that we should embrace the transparent society. At least that way there's some equity.
Ok, let's go for it.
You first.
And don't forget the measurement of how many Mp3's the data center can store
How many? All of them.
old SPARC cores
UltraSPARC
RTL source code
throw that on an FPGA
linux or minix
open software on open hardware
I can think of nothing sexier.
99.99% of the planet thinks you are just weird.
it's called bittorrent. I can get any popular new release dvd in 30 minutes. it takes longer to drive to the store.
Key words..'popular new release'. For any non mainstream thing, it might take days or weeks to d/l. Netflix is at most 3 days (assuming they have it).

We should be competing for a Mars lander by now.
For the lander portion, what is the real difference?
It is has long been thought that the requirements wouldn't hold up in court, but this is the first actual ruling.
First actual ruling? I would have thought that would be the successful challenges to the Communications Decency Act of 1996 (CDA) and the Child Online Protection Act (COPA).
Basically, you cannot prove who is sitting at the keyboard.

I didn't. A previous poster did.
Again...whoosh.

Lose a zero. Closer to 1,500lb (880kg) for Soyuz. Adjust your calcs accordingly.
The shuttle can carry up to 24,400 kg to low earth orbit, that is substantially more then the Soyuz can carry.
...is an understatement. Current Soyuz payload is 880kg.

Why was an anti-aircraft gun able to hit ground targets at all?
Because even on a hill a hundred meters high (good for all around visibility), an aircraft can be below you as it flies by.
The weapon eventually knocked the pol[e]s down.
And no one could simply turn it off when it hit the limit pole the first time? Idiots.

From Googles perspective, it is inbound.
Can someone provide me a logical reason why a 911 system would need to be connected to the Internet?
Maybe you can provide us a logical reason why you think "the Internet" has anything to do with this incident.

An aircraft painted black, designed not to be seen at night, is pretty hard to see after the sun sets.
