Buy and install one of these on your porch near the garden. I think it tracks light sources and compensates by rotating itself. Apparently it also has built-in AC as well.
This sort of thing is the best way to get something through to the public. What's more likely to get people interested: pages of plain text or a comic strip?
Government-funded PSAs on TV about internet spam and scams would work.
Not sure if you have any idea what your talking about. The 300 series with the big ass engine V8 new hemi get 26MPG on the highway.
My main point was that 340 HP in a family sedan is, umm, a bit overboard. Towing capability aside, the only real reasons for more and more HP is 0-60 times and bragging rights.
Doesn't this raise the bar for GM and Ford to trump that amount of engine power in order to compete in the coming horsepower wars?
Are we all supposed to get in a circle and sing hymns or some shit ? live in the exact same house, marry the exact same person and drive the exact same cars ? Not to mention having the exact same wants/uses for those cars ?
The integrity of Enigma relied heavily on keeping the machines and codebooks out of allied hands
Or in at least one well-documented case, getting fake info into enemy hands. Have you heard of The Man Who Never Was? Interesting story, there's at least one book and a movie about it.
I remember watching some TV special about the code talkers, and one of the old guys was practically laughing when he was telling his story.
When NASA was preparing for the Apollo project, they did some
astronaut training on a Navajo Indian reservation.
One day, a Navajo elder and his son were herding sheep and came
across the space crew. The old man, who spoke only Navajo, asked
a question which his son translated. "What are these guys in the
big suits doing?"
A member of the crew said they were practicing for their trip to
the moon. The old man got all excited and asked if he could send
a message to the moon with the astronauts.
Recognizing a promotional opportunity for the spin-doctors, the
NASA folks found a tape recorder. After the old man recorded his
message, they asked the son to translate it. He refused.
So the NASA reps brought the tape to the reservation where the
rest of the tribe listened and laughed but refused to translate
the elder's message to the moon.
Finally, the NASA crew called in an official government
translator. He reported that the moon message said, "Watch out
for these guys; they have come to steal your land."
Slashdot Mirror
Cool. If that's the one I think it is, I worked on the ASU for it. There's an aerial photo of it here.
Is Slash CMS or blogging software?
A page from 1999 says they start at $7200. I won't be getting one anytime soon.

We at Showtime Online express our apologies; however, these pages are intended for access only from within the United States.
I've seen this too. Why do you suppose this policy is in effect?

As we've found out all through history, you need rules when people have to share something or some assholes will abuse it.
If I just wrote the word "spam" here, Slashdot's lameness filter would not allow me to post.
"wrong."
Hey, are you the same guy that's in the latest TV commercials for the 4 blade disposable razors? And are you, like, gellin?

Now, I'm wondering what you are talking about.
What happens if the robots go on strike?
Is this a Backronym?
The use of industrial gases and cryogenics is still largely unexploited.
And that will only happen when the price of oil goes so high we actually have to stop driving our SUVs once in a while.
What amazes me is the horsepower ratings that are coming out lately. 340HP in a family sedan (DaimlerChrysler 300)?
There's lots of oil left (if you know where to get it), but this amount of power is just silly and reeks of "mine is bigger than yours" insecurity.
Hydrogen explosion? What hydrogen explosion?
Hydrogen burns invisibly, that's why it wasn't noticed.
I think you got trolled by the parent.
Condensation problems, maybe?
So why did she take the pain to do all this?
She's a writer and used the trip to gain attention.
My business was to show people Chernobyl as I saw it and now it is time to get busy with another chapter, which will not be a Chernobyl relative and I will make online version of it.
I expect there will also be a book offering. Nothing really wrong with what she did (slight misrepresentation), it's just marketing, right?
Taxes are really, really high

Oh great, I get mod points and I have to up/down comments about some stupid car.
messages sent by wifi to the car's computer and displayed on its screen, so you can read them easily
Yes, because we already know that reading, applying makeup and composing cell phone text messages are all good things to do while driving.
Some nVidia software does this and some guy here wrote a program to create the effect.
it was so toxic that they wouldn't allow their staff to collect a sample because it would have been too dangerous
DHMO strikes again.

You live in the north pole? Oh, you meant *liquid* water. Sorry.
