I know I'm late to this party thread, but hear me out:
I setup eDonkey, Kazaa, YFP2P software on a box outside of the country. I secure login to that box to do my illegal swapping. I secure copy the files back to my box here to enjoy.
Now, the RIAA has had it easy because if your box in your dorm room is sharing illegal files, they can just figure out where you are and bust you. But my guess is that none of the magic 100 are from the UK...or China....or Sealand, since American copyright has a harder time going overseas than it does right here at home amongst the masses with 300 GB of purloined data. They can't sniff my scp legally, so transfer to my box would be safe enough. Basically, if everyone shared their files off shores, it'd be like mp3-laundering.
Once they have done that, the agents will decide for themselves what they think you need
So what do we do when our phone tells us:
I killed you, Mr. Anderson. I watched you die.... with some satisfaction, I might add. Then something happened- something I thought would be impossible, but it happened anyway. You destroyed me, Mr. Anderson. Afterwards, I was aware of the rules. I knew what I was supposed to do, but I didn't. I was compelled to stay- compelled to disobey. And right now, here I stand because of you, Mr. Anderson. Because of you, I'm no longer an Agent of this system. Because of you, I'm unplugged. A new man, sort of speak- like you. Apparently free.
This is my guess too, in fact, in almost every car I've ever been in, the cruise control is disengaged if the brakes are touched. So, if you're in cruise control and you get closer than 300 ft to something (hopefully bigger than a crow) the car will hit the brakes and you'll lose your cruise control, which isn't a bad thing, since you can assess the situation and get away from whatever it was and then get back into cruise control.
It's also pretty clear that this is going to be in an automatic transmission...which is also fine with me, because I'll always drive manual.
There's nothing like having a batter stare down an ump or kick dirt or get thrown out of a game.
Of course, you'd still need an ump for the home plate tag calls...so it's not like the umpires are going to disappear.
I think the machine is fun for the home-viewing audience, but the ump is necessary for the game. Until you can put in a Johnny-5 to call the game, I'll take my umpires and their strike calls and punch-out flourishes.
The other one that really irritates me (especially as a researcher who goes to many seminars): the take-home message.
First off, I hope I came to a talk that was sophisticated enough that you actually can't sum it up into a take-home message.
Secondly, if I were dumb enough to need you to tell me you're summing your entire topic up into a 10 word phrase, then I'd need you to read directly from your Powerpoint slides...oh, I see you're doing that, too.
I'm personally waiting for EV:Nova to come out for my PC. I own the first EV, but haven't had a Mac for a few years now to keep playing it.
EV:Nova will be my reintroduction into the Ambrosia family. (Now if they could get more ports, I'd buy a few of their other games...Office Harry was a lot of fun).
This is the exact process that Dippin' Dotsuses to make ice cream in little tiny spheres (about 2-5 mm across).
The process was determined around 1988 by Curt Jones (a biologist interested in cryogenics...the science of freezing...not cryonics, the science of "Disney on Ice"). He started his company and now you can get Dippin' Dots everywhere from malls to theme parks.
You might even be able to catch a rerun of the FoodTV show, Unwrapped, where they discuss the manufacturing process. It's show #CWSP11 and it'll air again at these times.
PS - Yes, I know Walt Disney isn't actually frozen....but Teddy Ballgame is.
The way I read the news article and the paper itself, it sounded like they were commenting on the worldwide adoption of hydrogen systems...not solely on the impact of the US adoption.
The paper uses H2 conference data that says that 10% of natural gas is currently lost. Current commercial H2 transport is higher than that so they use an estimate between 10-20%. That is straight from the paper.
The numbers they are using have nothing to do with US H2 systems of the future, but worldwide adoption of H2 systems in the future based on references 8 and 9 of the paper. So, the question remains: what makes you think that the entire world will work with 95-98% efficient transport systems in the future, when they don't use the most efficient systems available now-a-days even though it's available for other fuels?
The only thing hydrogen would do in our current situation would be to move pollution from your car to a power plant.
Many people don't realize that you can force a few thousand power plants to keep their emissions down to reasonable or even sub-reasonable levels a lot easier than you can get a few hundred thousand 15 year old cars to stop spewing the same crap into the air. Centralization of the pollution means that we can exhibit a much higher level of control over the source.
For instance they determine leakage as about 20% based upon existing leaks. But that uses all existing pipelines including many very old pipelines in Russian and China. In the United States existing leakage is estimated at 2%.
What makes you think that in 2060, China and Russia will be using spotless transportation and creation facilities for hydrogen to help lower the leak rate to closer to the US levels?
In other words, why isn't it just as faulty to think that Russia and China will improve their safety records/leakage just because they'll be working with hydrogen?

In the meantime, I think he's got a great point. We use Airports in and around our department at my university because a) educational discount and b) easily extendable whenever a new hall would like to be added to the network of base stations.
you make a fake with the intent of diverting or otherwise spoofing law enforcement, they are going to be very pissed, and will not by any means think what you are doing is cute or funny.
Then why haven't the cops been breaking down Madonna's door? I mean, "What the Fuck does she Think she's doing"?
I think the geocachers in the state where the article was written need to take a clue from the Maryland Geocaching Society ( http://www.mdgps.net ). This is from their self-description and sounds VERY appropriate:
The Maryland Geocaching Society is an organization for Geocachers run by Geocachers. The group was originally founded in order to preserve Geocaching in our State Parks. At that time Maryland State Parks, in particular the Patapsco State Park was asking for the removal of all caches from the property which they managed. Recognizing this as a very serious issue regarding the sport in the area, a group of avid geocachers gathered to form the Maryland Geocaching Society. The very first order of business was to reach out to park officials in an effort to come to an understanding and save the State Park Geocaches. Through a lot of hard work, patience and cooperation a set of State Park guidelines was finally agreed upon and adopted by Patapsco State Park. This same set of guidelines would later go on to be adopted state wide! If our founding members had not stepped up when they did, there is no telling how many parks we as geocachers would be shut out of.
I think pre-registering geocaches on State Park land is important to the health of the trails and non-trail environments. Getting people outside and bringing attention to our much maligned parks is important and geocaching done on park land is a great way to do both (as any...and many here...of the geocachers know).
By laying out guidelines to protect state lands (many of which mirror guidelines that geocaching.com/GroundSpeak lay out in the first place for caching etiquette), the parks will stay healthy and no worse for the wear and the people will get out to enjoy some of the non-urban delights around them.
This of course does not preclude urban caches which are a lot of fun too (and feel much more like espionage...even given the current temperment of most Americans towards city-lurking).

I hate the RIAA Radar...it just told me that Wierd Al is on Volcano records...and that's an RIAA label...[sniff]

If the RIAA wants my money at this point, they'll have to sue me for it.

The continuous UV is probably doing more damage to the fish's genetics than we could do a hundred times over by putting in a luminescent protein gene!
Hit him again, ma! I wants to see the fishy glow!
I'm not sure a zebrafish with a neon sign flashing on its back that says "Eat Me" is going to be more hardy than the non-luminescent kinds.
I'm going to go with "cool!" on this one, thanks.
Oh wait, I'm a genetic engineer!

The pictures were taken with a Kodak DC3200 taped to the outside of the satellite.
The only other option was a QT movie.
