This would be truly amazing (especially for WW2 history buffs) since the only images ever seen of the conflict from non-participants have always been from a first-person cameraman (possibly staged) perspective (or fighter/bomber cams).
I want to see the Russian move into Berlin from above.
If I paraphrase this, it means:
- spoilers force air above and around the car when it is moving
- wings (at the back) use rushing air pressure to counteract oncoming air that tends to make the car airborn.
Neither of these methods care whether the car is front-drive, rear-drive, AWD, front-engine, mid-engine or rear-engine.
Ow, my brain now hurts, I think I'll just apply a few stickers and maybe put in a DVD player. Chicks dig that stuff!
With all the paranoid hoops the feds make travelers jump through to board an aircraft, I must admit my favorite airline is Amtrack these days, for shorter journeys.
Train travel is quite relaxing, actually. I figure the opposition to it when it comes to business travel options is based on appearances. In other words, we-are-so-successful-that-everything-has-to-be-don e-fast.
It's so much more sexier to announce that you flew in because of the urgency of the matter.
Nevermind that a relatively slow train ride provides extra time to contemplate the upcoming meeting/project without the hassles of air travel. Let's face it, if it's *critically important* that you physically appear in another city, you probably should be flying in a private jet. And your "perks" of travelling might be better converted into time off to reflect on things of importance.
Still, it's always good to include masturbation as a part of your fitness regime, for a couple reasons:
I assume this is directed towards the male population. Any advice regarding circumcized vs. non-circumcized? Before I start I'd like to have some expert opinion.
Isn't this similar to the phenomenon of waking up and realizing that your dream contained bits and pieces of what was on TV/radio while you slept (eg, your radio or TV is set as a wake-up alarm)? I.E., your subconcious mind picked-up on cues while you were sleeping and inserted them into the dream.
I disagree. I played in a few paintball tournaments, and what it really cofirmed in my mind is that any situation where people are spraying projectiles at each other involves a lot of luck. It doesn't matter how good you are, everyone gets hit eventually. In the games I played, you rarely were reacting to someone, you were just spraying whatever they were hiding behind hoping to nail them when they peaked out.
At least with paintball you learn that it hurts when you get hit (the one time I played, assholes from the other team shot me in the back as I surrendered after I got painted - I was walking off, arms up).
Then again, the people who were on my team weren't trained in tactics (me neither) and the playing field was an indoor one where the regulars that all had semi-autos (I was the only member of my team to also have a semi-auto and pissed them off) would have the advantage.
FPS videogaming and paintball experience is useful, but going into battle without a plan is, umm, probably not so useful.
OK. If you don't think it makes a difference, take two seconds to say "my name is John Deaux, and I'm coming to you from Northern Florida. In Where-ever-you-are, USA, it's a bone-chilling five degrees..." If you are afraid to make that little disclosure, then you are implicitly admitting that it does make a difference.
I'd have to agree with that, if only because not mentioning it hints at some insincerity on the announcer's part. The guy's 61 years old, I don't think most of his listeners would slam him for being able to broadcast from a warmer climate for a few weeks per year.
Not only does it take over the context menu, but it also pops up on middle button!
One of the options on the context menu is "Disable this Menu", the disable seems to work on IE6 and Mozilla 1.5.
Milonic's site is essentially a demo of what their menu system can do, web designers can choose to use whichever features they like - the context menu thing has to be specifically installed/enabled.
Slam me if you wish for being superficial, but Mozilla lacks the nifty drop-shadows and subtle visual cues that IE (and
OSX?) features.
I'm an "old skool" transformed-to-CAD draftsman originally trained with actual pencils, paper and a bit of artistic flair for focusing the eye on what's important, and I dislike Mozilla's lack of visual enhancements.
I would switch to Moz immediately and permanently if it could do this (not because of the "cool factor" but because it is a better presentation).

I am an introvert. I'm happy to be an introvert. I hate going places with lots of people, and I tend to be the quiet one if I'm ever in a group of people. But I do a lot of discussion boards. The amazing thing is that online socializing does not mess with my introversion. I'm comfortable submitting comments to discussion boards where I wouldn't be comfortable speaking out at a get-together.
So maybe the stereotype is right AND the study's results are right. Maybe it is our definition of being social that is being put under the microscope.
That's a good post. WAY too much time is wasted in "real" social interaction situations on appearance, "sizing up the competition", politics, establishing first impressions based on superficiality, etc. But we already knew that, didn't we? I suspect that you'd mostly agree with my statements above and I wonder why your website requires Flash to view it.
they had a webpage that you could login to in order to see the large emails that were in your account
This is different from webmail (I.E. only for large messages)? I would think that webmail would be pretty common for ISPs, maybe it isn't.
Just today I set up my mother's email account (she had been offline for about a year and SPAM has gotten much worse since), installed Mailwasher and explained how it works. I really like this program - I have no affiliation with the product - as it's free and easy to use. More ISPs should encourage its use, even though it doesn't really help them in the bandwidth battle.
When is the scheduled bump into the Radio Shack or Coke logo-ed Mars rock?
PS/OT: Does the off-centered "R" in Radio Shack's logo (circle containing the letter "R") have anything to do with legal matters? I've always wondered about that.
Founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Christiansen, the name Lego was invented by combing the first two letters of the Danish words "Leg godt" (play well) without knowing that that the word in Latin means "I assemble."
Even though SPF may not be a complete or perfect solution, I see no harm in announcing to the world that if it purports to come from my domain than it also comes from my designated mail servers.
I think most average users don't really care how it is done, it has become a "just do it" issue.
For websites that need to be able to accept mail from previously unknown senders, a challenge/response shouldn't be a big impediment to the senders as long as they know why it is being done.
Maybe I'm way out in left field here, but *something* has to be done before email becomes totally useless.

On those rare occasions when my power has gone out at night,I wake up instantly. The absence of noise is what wakes me up.
Same here. It's gotten to the point where I can tell if a fan has accumulated too much dust and needs cleaning.

My point is, from a branding/product identification perspective, a descriptive name is better than an imaginative name.

This adds up when you start talking about crews in the hundreds.
On the other hand, if you divide the total by hundreds of people it doesn't seem that bad.
