One problem with that line of thinking. The noise from the pipes is being projected BEHIND the Harley. It will do nothing to alert someone in front of you not to pull our or change lanes.
According to an article that was linked from Fark about this, the Centaur is absolutely silent. Great for noise polution, especially if you live in a modestly populated area where the neighbors don't appreciate it when you get drunk and start running the ATV around the street at 1AM, waking them up with all the noise. It might also be good for hunters to they don't scare the deer/birds/small children away.
The point is to judge public opinion. They obviously think the Centaur is at point in development where it could go on to become an actual product in the future, and not just a proof of concept. So the question now becomes, do they invest the addition money needed to perfect the Centaur and bring it to market? Well to make that decision, you need all sorts of marketing feedback, and with a niche product like this it is often really hard to judge if people would actually purchase one. So to get that information they're putting it up on their web site and seeing what sort of response they get. If they get 100,000 emails from people begging them to produce one, they probably will. However if they only get 500 messages, and most of those are from people putting down the concept, they know not to devote any more resources to the project and move on to other concepts.
I don't know about flipping burgers. But I absolutely loved my job in high school as a Little Caesar's assistant manager. If I ever find myself weathly beyond belief, I'll probably open up my own pizza place and work there part time between classes at the university.
(If I ever get rich enough not to work, I plan to travel a bit, and then spend the rest of my life going to school and studying whatever catches my interest)
>>2. They usually get to work in a climate controlled office.

I wish Slashdot had a -1 Whiny Bitch moderation....Also why to prove the original poster's point about most IT admins being a big bunch of complainers.
Now that I think of it, I wonder how the retail store was able to lawfully sell you that copy, since they were just a licensee (they do not own the boxes sitting on their own shelves) and agreed to the terms of the EULA when they bought the software from their distributor. Do retail stores now have to negotiate for distribution rights from the makers of everything they sell? I think you just put a bunch of stores out of business, court.
Actually, most software distributors won't ship you software unless you agree to their terms. One of those terms is that the retailer cannot return opened software to the distributor for a refund. Hence why stores won't allow you to return opened software.
Because not all judges think alike. Its the Microsoft strategy, you just keep appealing until you get a judge (or group of judges) that see things your way.
I'll totally go buy Warcraft III and then attempt to return it opened. I think it'd be damned interesting to see what they do with a camera in their face.
Most stores have a policy banning the operation of a camera within them. If they see the camera they will most likely ask you to leave and come back in without the camera.
You've got to be sneaky and hide the camera in a hat or purse or something.
What I think is funny is that the reason stores don't accept software returns is because the software publishers make that part of the contract the retailer has to sign if he wants to sell their software. Then these same software distributors go to court saying someone can return the software if they don't like the EULA, knowing full well that they don't allow the retailers to accept returns.
So say you click thru a EULA, you agree to it. You install the software and then decide to pirate it, saying "the EULA is not legally enforcable".
You do that, that's retarded.
Whether a EULA is enforecable or not has NOTHING to do with piracy. Piracy is regulated through copyright laws, not EULA's. EULA's are about giving up rights like first sale and fair use.
Not exactly true. Washington has an exemption that allows people from Oregon (and other states?) to get out of paying sales tax on purchases made in Washington. You just show them your ID, and the store has to fill out some forms. Most stores will tell you they've never heard of this, but generally if you get a manager involved they'll be able to verify it. However, California does not have this exemption. They don't care where you are from, if you buy it in their state they want to tax it.
You have to claim that you were so offended that is caused you emotional distress which has somehow affected your ability to fully participate in normal activity. That's how you sue.
Yes your honor, his green shirt so upset me that to this day if I see someone wearing a green shirt I pass out. Because of this I am unable to hold down a job because I risk seeing people in green shirts when I leave the house.

I use a T-Mobile Sidekick to send and recieve e-mail on several of my pop3 accounts at different domains. When I send an email with my Sidekick, it uses T-Mobile's email server to send them mail, but puts the email address of my pop3 account in the "From" field so it looks like it came direct from my other mail account.
Is this going to cause me problems?
What about those who have a domain that does e-mail forwarding to their ISP account, and have it put their forwading email address in the from field?
Is it really so hard for the instructor (or TA if at a university) to announce at the beginning of the test that all cell phones must be put away during the test and that if they see one during the test the owner will automatically fail the test. Then all the instructor needs to do is get up every now and then and walk the isles looking for phones. It can't be that hard.
I've got my BA and been in more than a few lecture halls. It wouldn't be that hard. I realize some instructors use test time to do work, but most only read magazines or books (or step outside to talk on the phone).
I atteneded Cal State Fullerton. Interesting campus. The CompSci department has a bunch of 10 year old computers in the labs, while the business department laps gets new computers every two years. I guess you need a lot of horse power to create Power Point files. I was a Business Major and my GF was a CompSci major, and I used to tease her about sneaking her into the business labs so she could do her homework on a decent computer.
Anyway, on to my point. Two years or so ago, someone came in during regular class hours and managed to steal every single LCD projector on one of the floors of Langstorf Hall and quite a few out of University Hall. These were $5k good projectors that were mounted to the ceiling.
Even though this was during class hours, no one claimed to have seen anything.
What you describe is a common experience when you are behind a firewall. Open up the ports for BT and direct them to your PC and see what happens. I've found that it makes a significant difference in transfer rates.
Greenpeace actually filmed themselves ramming a fishing (Whaling?) vessel at sea. They rammed it twice, knocking off the arm things that pull in the nets. They were actually bragging to the camera about damaging the other ship, and talking about how evil the sailors were on the ship they rammed because one of them pulled out a shotgun.
It very clearly explained on the original Austin Powers DVD that "Austin Powers" is mostly based off of other 60's era spy movies. They even give a bibliography if I remember correctly of where Mike Meyers got his inspiration.
The original Dalek's were even more impotent. They had paths laid ont he ground, and they were unable to leave them as they got their power through their paths (Simliar to a subway getting its power through the third rail).
