Great explanation. The relevent section is found in the PDF: 3.6 Orbit characteristics and residence-time distributions for temporarily-captured orbiters. Quoting in part
"A geocentric two-body orbit is not adequate for describing the motion of TCOs even for relatively short time periods".
Please see the DOT document entitled TRAFFIC FATALITIES IN 2010 DROP TO LOWEST LEVEL IN RECORDED HISTORY. I submit that the disparity in vehicle length, weight and power has never been higher than today. In the past car sizes were more uniform as compared to today's Smart car/Escalade match up, not to mention double length trailers. The above document shows that fatalities have decreased over time. My question is, how are these data explained? Even if we started in the decade when seat belts and airbags appear it seems apparent that the difference in fuel economy won't automatically mean more deaths.
They gave short shrift to the whole concept. I just tried voting and gave up. They have a confusing interface and show static pictures for what is definitely a dynamic media. I don't know how someone, who might consider themselves an artist but unfamiliar with the medium, might vote. I have played a lot and consider myself, at age 60, an active gamer but I haven't played all of these games. How do I determine my votes? In an analogous situation it's if the Oscars were decided by people who haven't participated in movie making were asked to vote but had only one still frame with which to judge the picture. Total crap.
I was a longtime user of CF when I found it in the guts of the Quicken bill paying application and decided to just use their application instead. Unfortunately they did not develop an OS X version so I had to switch. This was just at BoA announced their free web service so I tried them. I was on the phone with BoA about a problem and when I remarked about how similar their service looked to the CheckFree application. I was told, "I'm not supposed to just offer this but since you asked, yes, CheckFree supports our service".
They hold the stocks for my wife's plan. I wrote to them because I noted that when I navigated to a particular page of her account there was a series of numbers and letters in a block of text at the bottom. Within this block was a string which represented her birthday and another which were the digits of her social security number. They never did respond.
The Nintendo Wii Remote one-ups the Sony controller by including an infrared camera. It picks up signals from a sensor bar the owner attaches to the television set. This enables the remote to "know" where it is in relation to the screen, so the player can use the controller to point to things on the screen -- a useful feature in shooting games (and a lot of games are shooting games).
Here's another interesting piece of information. According to this source, the sensor bar is not even communicating with the console! I guess it's just shooting out a reference point for the remote, to act like a virtual mousepad to the remote's mouse?
When I start to feel my palms sweat and especially after I have tried a rough part and died I get angry and yell at my character to fight harder. Also my anger gets more focused at the enemy and I start trash talking them. My attitude in extremely difficult situations is "If I'm going to die I'm taking as many of you with me as I can."
On reflection it seems strange to admit how completely some of these scenarioes get under my skin. I have never been in a fight for my life, or even a really bad fight but I guess that something along these lines would occur. To survive anger must trump fright.
When all else fails blame game mechanics. Damn camera angle.
Okay, I finally checked out the Second Life client yesterday, and flew around looking for something to *do*.
I concur. My take on The Second Life experience is that it was more for people new to the VR space--maybe an AOL analog. It's more friendly then trying to learn the complexities of an RPG and yet have the elements of the social interaction. VR training wheels?
I believe it is possible to change your login ID from the originally assigned one. I use this option when it is available. Try the link on the home page labeled, "Forgot or need help with your ID?" The limitations on the ID are pretty liberal: Online ID Format Must be 6 to 32 characters Can also contain these characters: at symbol, number symbol, asterisk, open or closed parenthesis, plus sign, equal sign, open or closed brace, forward slash, question mark, tilde, semi-colon, comma, period, hyphen or underscore. Can contain all letters, otherwise must be a combination of 2 character types (Alpha, numeric & special) Cannot contain spaces Cannot be the same or contain your Social Security number or Check Card number
I'll sometimes go as deep as ten pages when performing research, but usually after three or four pages I'll just revise my query. If I can't find what I want using a search engine, I'll use the search engine to find a site that will help me find what I want. If that seems to take too long I'll use Wikipedia to find links to sites that might links to sites containing what I want. Once I find sites that are full of useful content I bookmark them.
Ditto for all of these techniques. I have about 180 bookmarks on Yahoo and prolly an equal but unique number on my home browsers.
Let the lawmakers work it out. This is most likely going to be the case, unfortunately. The old men in congress have absolutely no idea what goes on inside a game and have probably never played a MMOG. Yet chances are, they will be the ones who eventually decide what kind of laws are placed within any given game world. Actually no, they'll create an all encompassing set of laws that affect all game worlds, which is even worse.
Yes, but it will keep them occupied so that they do less mischief in the real world. Seriously though maybe Abramoff could lobby for the Second life natives...oh wait...I was supposed to be serious. How about this--maybe this is just the start of what will eventually be a concern not just for a gameplaying fringe but somehow, in the distant future, something that everyone will have a stake in. Maybe our material rights in virtual space will have universal significance someday. Then future lawyers will have to wade through Linden EULAs to find out what the Founding Fathers of Virtual Real-estate had in mind.
As a Mac user myself, I'll just say this. I don't want an Apple monopoly dominating computing; I would just like an Apple marketshare at around 35%-45% again. It would make for a much healthier market and would mean a lot more applications for Mac, instead of waiting a year later for a third-party port.
I chose to use the left hand with the mouse on my first mouse-enabled machine ~18 years ago (I'm not strongly handed either way, but use left for some tasks and right for others) and am amazed that the mouse manufacturers treat 10% of the population this way.
Yeah, I'm mostly right handed but I decided--with my first mouse experience--to learn to use both hands. This greatly helps when the fingertips or joints get sore. At work I use mostly my left hand and at home my right.
Date and cost of final deployment (from TFA second source)
Despite years of work, by July 1987 Northrop Electronics Division had succeeded in delivering only a small number of usable INS units. Up to one-third of the silo-emplaced force had no guidance system.
In January 1988 20 missiles were finally operations, and by December 1988 all 50 MX missiles (with guidance systems) had been deployed.
The cost of procuring a Peacekeeper missile (the "flyaway" cost) was only about $20 million (FY 82). The total cost of the program was approximately $20 billion however, at a pro-rated cost of $400 million per operational missile, or $40 million per deployed warhead. A total of 114 Peacekeepr missiles were produced (due to the need for test missiles and spares).
IINAP but I think that althogh the scientists speeded up light in this particular medium that does not mean that the absolute limit will be change. Comments?
Most of this stuff is beyond me but I was wondering if I could work around this as an end-user.
1) At a certain financial site users receive feedback assuring one that the site is legit. The feedback includes a picture and message that were designated previously. If I surf there first and find that the DNS directed me to the right site can I then surf to other sites with certainty?
2) What about using the IP address as opposed to URLs (is that the right term) or word address? Are DNS used if one types in an IP address?

The Michael is the Dell.
Don't marry her.

Not to mention the question about how we know whether or not they have "eyes" to detect this part of our visible electomagnatic spectrum.

It could happen! Don't look at me like that!
Ditto!

I knew there was water near the Dome but this seems to show that the place was an island! Nice links.

I always thought that The Ring would make an interesting survival-horror--adventure game.
