Everyone who can't play a game during this move should take Ubisoft to small claims court. Lawyers are not allowed in small claims court, so this is an advantage for you. Just claim the value of the game as damages and the cost to file the claim. If Ubisoft doesn't make an appearance, you win by default. If they show up and you lose, you still caused them to lose far more money than they got from you for buying their game. If you win and they fail to pay your claim, you can put a lien on them or have an equivalent value of their property seized.
I was implying that the water would enter space and turn to ice. This could make a very good vehicle for transporting bacteria across the galaxy as they would be in or near suspended animation.
How about this, a few billion years ago, there is a planet that has large, vast oceans. This planet is where life begins. It's nothing more than bacteria. The life spreads throughout the ocean. Some floats on the surface, some in the mid-water, and some lives on the rocks at the bottom of the ocean. One day, an asteroid hits this planet. The asteroid completely destroys the planet sending debris in every direction. Since most of the planet was water, the water that didn't vaporize instantly is frozen almost instantly as it enters the cold of space. Now, the drops of water, many containing a few bacteria, are flying in every direction, many with enough velocity to escape the planet's sun.
Now, we could be the next solar system over, we could be in the next galactic arm, or we could be in an entirely different galaxy. All it would take is for conditions to be right on Earth and for 1 single bacterium to land in a pool of water. Given this, why would it be so far fetched that life could have come from a different solar system or even galaxy?
My guess is that tornados form from storm clouds where dust devils form due to convection from heating. While they are both vorticies, their origin is what distinguishes them.
A simple solution is to remove execute permissions on the file. I've run across malware that doesn't like you accessing the permissions dialog, so I typically use the command line CACLS.exe. Then I reboot, get a few errors since it is trying to execute a file that no account has permission to access. Now you can restore the delete permission and remove the file since it's not locked.
The cell phone towers broadcast a signal perpendicular to the tower. While some of the signal goes up, most of it just goes straight towards the horizon. Under ideal circumstances, if you were directly above the cell tower, you wouldn't get a signal. If you're 5 miles above a tower in an airplane (which is almost a Faraday cage), you probably wouldn't get a signal.
The space station has to have shielding carried up via rockets. One of the huge advantages of the moon is you have large amounts of material (dust, sand, rocks, etc.) on the moon that you can just mound on top of your facility. If you pile enough stuff on top of the facility you'll block the radation. Now we just need to get someone to figure out exactly how much material you'd have to pile on top of the base to accomplish this.
You're exactly right, the theory of evolution is based on observation. Science isn't saying that God didn't make thinks evolve. Science is just saying that things appear to be evolving. There are plenty of other thoeries out there, but until some of them can offer something that can be tested and observed, those theories aren't going to get much attention. Science is not saying that evolution is right. It is saying that evolution is the theory that most accurately represents what we are currently observing.
You're right on need a good grouding plane, but there are cases where UTP will perform better than STP. The shielding will create a capacitive coupling with the signal. As the frequency goes up, you will lose more and more of your signal. So 10 Mbps will perform better over STP, but gigabit, especially on a long run, probably won't perform very well if at all over STP.
Well, I'm one of those 800-pound-microsoft-certified-gorillas you were talking about, and I know 4 others in my area. We all are running MS shops. We all have Firefox or Opera on every desktop and have removed the default IE icons. I have about 95% of my users using Firefox, and about 40% of them report they've switched to it at home as well. The other MS certified people I know are reporting slightly lower usage levels, but majority of their users are not using IE.
This is the common definitions of the word. Sometimes the legal definition can be significantly different. I have no idea in this case, so could some lawyer tell us if these definitions are what the courts would go by?
when they send this e-mail to a Federal Agent, Judge, etc. personal e-mail address? Making a death threat on any of these persons is a felony and the US could seek extradition. Or mayby W. would consider this a terrorist threat and deliver a $40,000 piece of ordinance via the U.S. Air Force.
The fact that it isn't saltwater isn't very surprising at all. Almost all glacial ice is freshwater. When saltwater is frozen for a very long time, the salt actually works its way out of the ice, leaving fresh water ice. Since the lake is in the middle of one huge, relatively old piece of ice it is not surprising at all that it is not salt water.
Also, it is not too peculiar that all the ice isn't melting. If you have a few small heat sources in the middle of several kilometers of ice, you'd expect it to melt a small area of ice around it. Since the heat requirements grows exponentially to melt a larger volume of ice and there are several kilometers of ice to melt, it would take a very large heat source to melt enough ice to either melt up to the surface or to the ocean.
<Bitching>I love how I press submit and get an error. I try it again and it tells me that I have to wait xx seconds before posting again. If I couldn't post due to an error, why do I have to wait to try again?</Bitching>
Not exactly. Acceleration due to gravity is 32 f/s^2 (feet per second squared). But you must also account for the drag generated by the kite. Based on what the article said, there is no way to mathematically determine how far or hard it fell.
Since we all know how technical majority of politicians are, I can just see them basing this whole bill on the definition of spyware. If you ask any of the companies that make spyware if their product is spyware, everyone will say that it isn't. This is just going to lead to millions of dollars being wasted on deliberations as to the definition of spyware etc.
This bill it just an attempt to treat one problem. Why don't they make an ethical software bill where all software is required to follow certain standards. Don't worry about the user being informed of the reporting of their personal info. There are too many ways to legally get the consent of the user like a 349575 page EULA. Just focus on things like being easy to find and uninstall. This would make all spyware as we know it illegal. Also, required all software list the legal name of the individual(s) or company that developed the software.
While I think that spyware and virus writers should be summarily executed, we all know that it is better to treat the source of the problem. Do something like imposing a small fine for every piece of software they install on your computer without giving you the ability to uninsall it with less than 10 clicks and no visiting a website (that doesn't exist) to complete the uninstall process. Figure $5 per violation, they'll be out of busines in no time.
While I know your post was a joke, it got me thinking. Maybe you could get a whole bunch of these kits together and make a graphite puck and you might have one.
What about an electromagnetic assisted launch? I remember from my astro engineering class that a very significant percentage of any launch vehicles fuel is required to just get it to clear the tower. Why not build a scale model launch vehicle and tower that is capable of attaining a certian altitude using EM assisted launch. Make one of the requirements that you use 20% less fuel than a non-EM assisted launch. We already have maglev trains that go 300 MPH and roller coasters driven by linear induction motors, so it doesn't seem like it would be too hard to adapt these technologies to space launch.
that hurt you. When you rub your feet on the carpet and go touch someone, that's several kilovolts, but it doen't really hurt. It's the amps that you need. We should start sending him 1 nA for each spam delivered. Even at that rate, he might be dead within a day.
in the prisoner hierarchy. While I don't know first hand, I've heard that depending on your crime, you basically have a rank in the big house. Murders are high while pedophiles are low. While the spammers crime is no where near as bad as the two afore mentioned criminals, everyone except other spammers and this guy hate spammers. So where would a spammer fall on the prison's hierarchy?

Could someone please explain that one to me.

247.9 f/s * 3600 s/hr * 1 mi/5280 ft = 169 MPH. This is probably well beyond the terminal velocity of a camera attached to a kite.

it's still one less spammer!
Hey, how about that, that's the same printer model number i give all those telemarketers that want to sell me toner.
