I've often thought that a food standard would be interesting. Seriously. Grow more food, increase the money supply. Food goes bad or gets eaten, the money supply decreases.
I'm not saying a food standard would necessarily be a good thing, but it's fun to think about.
OH GOD... nano-particles... everywhere! Must... reach safety of... A) The great urban outdoors B) My particulate laden residential environs C) One of the polar regions, where the climate will be tolerable 100 years from now...
(Quick, before the real estate values there go through the ozone layer!)
Why do you think Russia is claiming the arctic for themselves?
Some high-end HP printers and (AFAIK) all enterprise-class HP laser MFPs (Multi-Function Printers) have hard drives 5GB for older models and 20GB and up for newer. The Job Storage feature isn't enabled by default, but your system administrator can enable it for scanned and/or printed jobs. However, they can also lock down the stored jobs so only the person who scanned/printed it has access to it, via a PIN or user/pass authentication.
These products also have a "Secure Erase" feature, which will do a DoD wipe of the hard drive which you would be well advised to perform before selling it. This would prevent someone from removing the HD and putting it into a PC to view job data.
I don't work with HP's consumer-class printers so I can't comment on their job storage features. However I doubt that many of them come equipped with HDs or even support an HD upgrade, and with their limited RAM I'm pretty sure no job storage is going on except for a "reprint last job" feature which wouldn't survive a power-cycle.
However, I have never been able to find a power button on the iMac.
I had trouble with that, too. I think I eventually found what looked like a sticker on the side or back. Pressing on the sticker turned the thing on. How can Apple claim to be so cool, when they can't even get the power button right?
Weird as it may seem, there seem to be some correlation between outside temperature and how bad the 'net speed is (it has been unseasonably warm here)
Probably a cabling issue on your end. Our cable service would suck every time it rained, until we had them come out and bury a new cable from the box to our house.
Stranger in a Strange Land felt different to me than any other Heinlein book I've read -- especially the last half. It's a fine book, to be sure, but don't judge the rest of his works by that one book. It's definitely got a different flavor to it.
Now, whether or not Stranger was more Heinlein or less Heinlein than his other stuff is a whole 'nother debate.
Sometimes the action shots are so close that all we can see is a huge full-screen blur. Then there's the camera shot length.
I'm convinced this is one of the reasons the Matrix did so well -- you could actually see and understand what the heck was going on. There aren't a lot of modern movies you can say that about.
Gyroplanes (or gyrocopters, if you wish) auto-rotate all the time and can still do a zero-roll landing without a collective. The rotor speed is controlled by the angle of attack to the relative wind so you come in at speed and then flare at the last moment... not that that would really help a guy going down in this trike though, as he would have no control surfaces.
If all you want is a pipe, I suspect that your last refuge will be setting up up a tunnel to a datacenter. Assuming hosting and colocation companies don't start this crap too, you can SSH into your shared server or colo host and your traffic will originate from there, effectively making your hosting provider your new ISP.
Additional cost, additional latency... but at least you'll have a real internet connection again.
Their pistol, the 9x18 Makarov, uses a slightly oversize 9.2mm diameter bullet. NATO forces use the 9x19 cartridge with a standard 9.0mm diameter bullet.
The point is not so the Russians could use NATO ammo, they can't (it would blow up in your face if you tried). They did it so that NATO forces couldn't use Russian ammo (the 9x18 cartridge would work in a 9x19 gun, if the bullet was only 9.0mm).
The problem with many XM transmitters is that they transmit at illegally high power levels. The FCC is very clear on how much power these things can use and many of them exceed it. It's frustrating that the FCC doesn't do more to crack down on these things.
Speaking as a Jericho fan, I agree. I think most of the consternation is the fact that they canceled the series after one doozie of a cliffhanger. I don't really care if there's a second season, but we at least need one more episode to tie up some loose ends, mmmmmkay?
It depends on the car, but I believe that below 60mph or so windows are more efficient and at higher speeds the A/C is more efficient. Since my commute never exceeds 45MPH (and averages closer to 35MPH), windows come out ahead.
Which is just as well, as I've never owned a vehicle with working A/C.;)
Is there a way to control temperature inside a car without using excessive fuel?
Well, I just roll my windows down.;) Though I suppose that in some really hot places that's not much of an option. An evaporative cooler may be effective in dryer climates (just have to top off the water once in a while) but for the humid South... A/C is probably the only solution.

Don't forget the Robert Novak / PetsWarehouse.com suit.

Killing with the point lacks artistry anyways.

You are half right.

That spectrum is occupied by TV channels 5 and 6, BTW.
