Wait a second, are you talking about network tv or slashdot?
99% of people (or even Star Wars fans) are not going to watch the cartoon network to see 2-3 minute cartoons
99% of StarWars fans are going to watch them over the internet, download them, burn them to CD, burn them on the back of their retinas, memorize them, act them out on the streets of NY waiting in line 3 months for ep3 tickets ala the best.Triumph/Conan.skit.ever, download the new Triumph/Conan.skit that will be based on the acting out of the cartoons, memorize *those* lines, go write their own 8 page fanfic to replace and fill in between the cartoons....and still act like Lucas is a hideous beast for destroying the legacy of 4,5, and 6 once they see the cartoons and ep3....and buy all the toys.
So, don't worry about the viewership...because you know Lucas isn't. There's plenty of time for these things to disseminate to everyone who wants to see them regardless if they are released as flipbooks, written in Lithuanian.
No problem. Anytime anything is free and a present, I'm usually "thank you" first and DRM second. Sorry, we can't all be overly informed consumers when it comes to a 128 MB ram chip in my digital camera that's never going to move from its slot as long as it lives, so it's not like I've somehow given the Dark Side a foothold in my computer world that will spin out of control until I can't even clean the ball of my mouse without Microsoft needing to engage the "Release Hatch Product Key" through my network connection.
That having been said, I'm a slut when it comes to gifts. Whatever you give me...I'm fine with it so long as it works.
No, that's not a typo. The picture shows how this thing is barely bigger than a pair of quarters edge-to-edge. Great. You know how often I lose change?
There's a certain advantage to having small media/cards/devices. For example, having a 128 MB SD disk in my digicam is nice. I don't have to have a backpack to store more than 100 pictures at a time. But some of these things aren't even big enough to fit your initials on them, let alone some sort of recovery info if you *were* to lose what amounts to not much more in size than pocket lint.
It's nice that I can take my entire mp3 collection anywhere I want to go in a thimble. That's a real advance in computer technology. But are these guys banking on the idea that I'll lose one out of every 10 to 20 of these things that I'll buy?
I hope any NEWCARDs that I might need or buy come with a carrying case that's about as big as a floppy or CD. I'm still finding jelly beans, pen caps, and AA batteries under the furniture that have probably been there since Reagan was in office....oh..there's my entire work portfolio...
I've read through all of the "bug" threads where they explain viewpoints vs. workspaces and how the user should have forced edges for window movement...and you can just use a 16-keypress while dragging the mouse in circles...and you can still program it to edge-flip from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4, but not 1 to 3 to 4 to 2 if you have a 2x2 workspace...and how you can edit all these highly elaborate header and config files...and no, the guy that took it out is just too lazy to make it work in the new system...and no, he's not too lazy, it's just that nobody wanted it in there...and no, look at this highly unscientific poll where everybody wants it...no, look at my poll, where everybody doesn't want it....
But, really. I don't understand why it was removed as an *OPTION* for those who would like to use it. It wasn't deprecated. There's no valid replacement and certainly nothing easily and conveniently available for even someone with half an understanding of what's going on. It is the major reason I haven't really jumped into RH8.
If you look at the Integrity's exterior, this would make sense. It looks like a plane cabin with all the sub necessities above and behind it.
I'd imagine there's no reason not to do this to a plane body to build a sub. The plane is already going to be constructed for high pressure differential and circulating air systems. I guess they've figured out how to handicap the scrubbers/AC to fit the size though...or they recommend you always wear flippers when you walk on your shag underwater.:)
If you've got $78 million, you can get this fancy number.
If you only have a measly $682,000, then maybe this guy is more your speed...and you can attach him to your yacht for greater range from shore to explore!
What about the retailer that doesn't do a heavy volume of business through PepperCoin?
For example, if it's a 50/50 probability that a given coin is worth High or Low and you flip that coin 100,000 times, then within a minimal error, the coin will be 50,000 High/50,000 Low. But what about a retailer that only does 1000 or 500 or *less* per month.
Then, add on the fact that the PepperCoins being discussed aren't necessarily 50/50 but sound more like 5/95 or 1/99. If you closely examine any 500 of those 100,000 tosses earlier, you can probably find quite a few runs of 500 lows or more in a row. Suddenly, there are whole months that a retailer is going without payment to wait for that one time when they get compensated waaaay down the line. It seems a feast-or-famine proposal for the smaller retailer.

the fact that the articel mentions none of this prior work sugests this is crap science.
No, the fact that a highly summarized article on a news website doesn't mention prior work suggests it's crap reporting. If you read any scientific papers from these researchers and there's no prior recognition or control groups mentioned...THEN it's crap science. What you've done is like reading the Science News article on the human genome mapping project and crying foul.
(and they did mention prior work in church organs anyways, as I quote:
Infrasound has been used by organists in churches and cathedrals for at least 250 years to create grand, high-octane music.
Some scientists also claim it is the cause of the uneasy feelings and changes of emotion experienced in places believed to be haunted.)
From the summary page: SouthCom has not yet produced a Noriega Compact Disc of these songs, so you'll have to dig them out of your personal music library, if you can.
From an update on a further page: 8/01: If you cannot find them in your personal music library, maybe someone else has a copy on one of the numerous file-sharing applications on the web.
Ok, so I made that update up...but it's a nice playlist they have on pages 4-6. Some really good classic rock.
I've heard that some genetic researchers are attempting to develop methods which would either extend the telomeres or in some other way give a normal aging process to the cloned animals.
If we're to build an army of warriors capable of taking down the Trade Federation, IIRC, we *need* the premature aging so that they are ready to fight in time.

No, it was probably a shovel or a hammer from above...maybe they just drugged here instead.
You have to understand the era he grew up in to adequately answer this question. Mr. Crosby was a free-loving man and often bedded many of his attractive female co-stars.
He was a very good crooner.
This is how, not "The", but many, Bing Bangs happened.
The computer, on the other hand, is just calculating moves, so psychology doesn't factor into how it plays. To me, this seems like the biggest advantage that a computer has over a human player.

Sure, a Geo Metro will take you to work and home again...but the flat-bed pickup will let you perform surgery at 250,000 miles up (or something like that).
If you're worried about dog contingencies, you probably should ask if he has considered a RAID array of dogs, instead of a Beowulf...besides, wouldn't it be a Beowolf at that point?
If there are 4 urinals in the bathroom and I number them from the left, assuming that 1 and 3 are in use, which urinal should I use to abide by the rules?
Thus they probably didn't even bring up EVA suits.
Actually, in the news conference it was noted that they had the ability to EVA, but only in case of a latch problem in shutting the cargo bay doors...they had no way to leave the bay though.
Also, to answer your other question, there was no arm on the Columbia for STS-107.

Not quite as interesting a read as a Project Guttenberg book, though.
