Ala Brabham in the mid 70s before it was banned after one race. Come to think of it the same guy designed both cars. His excuse for the Brabham was it was just a large cooling fan...that happened to suck the car down on it's springs.
I'm pretty sure that that car wasn't banned, but that they just stopped racing it, because they knew that if they didn't that it would be banned. Either way, it won it's only race.
As for there being only 7, there may only be 7 left, because I've seen quite a few mangled wrecks of Mclarens (not because they're poorly built, but because they go FAST). There are probably more than that out there though.
The submarine, which in commercial production will take three people in cramped bucket seats to depths of 50 yards for up to three days at a time, is designed mainly as a plaything for the rich.
So, the seats are cramped, but you can stay in them for 3 days.. Do they recline at all, or do I have to spend all 3 days sitting upright with my head sticking out into the ocean?
And what does it smell like in there after 3 people have been down for 3 days?
Is there a bathroom? Seems pretty impractical to me, but hey, I don't have the $845K (or whatever currency it is, unless its lira or soemthing) lying around.
There is no difference between the company X10 that cells the wireless remotes and X10 the company that advertises its wireless cameras all over the place.
Their full name is X10 Wireless Technology. They are also the same company that makes all the home automation software (that was sold for a while by Radioshack).. It's pretty neat stuff. You can hook it up to your computer and control all your lights, etc.. Check it out. You don't need to use their software or interface either, there are plans around, and even Linux software.
Didn't they have something like this before but for Birth Control pills? And where does the 'Microchip' come in? It seems like the polymer does all the work adjusting the dosage by slowly biodegrading..
Anyways, I'd rather swallow pills than have a Microchip stuck into my body. While this could be very useful for people using addictive drugs like Morphine (the 'patient' would always have the same dosage, and wouldn't be able to do more than their normal dose), I don't know if it would catch on for other medications.
And if the new location has phone lines too, try switching the fax and phone lines. You'll get plenty of beeping calls, but they should disappear as their sends will be unsuccessful.
I think he already is using the line as a phone line, and that's the problem; the phone rings all the time with fax machines trying to spam him.
Also, the fax machines will never try to stop sending, because much like e-mail SPAM, that list has been sold to many different companies. I've had a voice line that got fax spam, and it was not cool, and never stopped. Now I just don't have a phone, problem solved.
They recieve a commission for each application, sometimes up to 50$ a piece.
Really? A $50 commission for signing up for a credit card? From what I hear, it is $1-2 each, but maybe the guy I was talking to was getting screwed or there were lots of middle-men, but $50 seems ridiculous..
Maybe I should contemplate a career change.
NASA developed a substance that can be injected into small breaches in many parts of the shuttle to ensure the craft survives re-entry. Note I said *some* parts.
The new moons, uncovered by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, are about 8 to 10 miles across (12 to 16 km) -- about the size of San Francisco.
The two new satellites are the first inner moons of Uranus discovered from an Earth-based telescope in more than 50 years. "It's a testament to how much our Earth-based instruments have improved in 20 plus years that we can now see such faint objects 1.7 billion miles (2.8 billion km) away," says Mark Showalter.
Is Hubble considered an Earth-based telescope somehow? I'm kind of confused. Can anyone explain this?
You guys had the tape? Hahaha, I had the LP, and let me tell you, the plane was HUGE (and crushed) when you unfolded the thing. It was I think 3 LP covers wide. Very cool. Too bad my mom sold all my LPs.
AMD Opteron Server Model 144 Processor $691.00 AMD Opteron Server Model 244 Processor $1069.00 AMD Athlon64 Processor (Pre Order) $639.00
There are no details listed for the Athlon64 as to speed, etc.. Also, prices are in CDN dollars. Convert to US and you get $498, $770, and $461, respectively.
..DAT is used in recording studios. I can bet you MD never is..
Well, Sony does make a multi-track Minidisc recorder, or at least used to (check out this page).
Also, when I was working at a [student] radio station, we used to use minidiscs for all of our ads and promos. Of course we didn't need pro audio quality for broadcast, but they had some pretty nice machines back then, and this was in 1994 or 1995.
Imagine how high the failure rate would be with fabricating a CPU with four cores... I don't see how it would be practical unless it was with an extremely-high yield design such as the StrongARM.
Naw, that doesn't seem like too big a problem. All they have to do is check to see how many cores are working, and then sell the chips like that. Something like this (assuming you pay a premium for more cores, relative to the lower yields):
$500 for 1 core
$1200 for 2 cores
$1800 for 3 cores
$2500 for 4 cores
If you could cross this with The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, you'd have a winner on your hands. Play as Zaphod the 2 headed.. thing and steal the Heart of Gold. Switch over to the Vogons and blow up a couple of planets (think of it like GTA, but you get to blow up billions of people at once!).
Throw in a little cricket, and you've added another Genre..
I assume that this is the advance here.. To pour the beer faster, but without the foaming. Otherwise someone would have thought of this before- bigger spout == faster beer pouring.
Interestingly, the CNET article reveals the telephones "...can only call other phones that use the same technology."
It's also listed on the webpage (well, it should be pretty obvious to most that read the page). It seems like JimCricket didn't browse the page too much.
Anyways, I agree, it's pretty useless. In Canada, deregulation of local phone service was supposed to happen already, and we were supposed to have options of multiple companies. This hasn't happened yet as far as I have heard. Some company needs to come out with a card that I can plug into my computer (like say a quicknet PhoneJack card or something) and service that allows me to plug in a phone line and enjoy all the features of a normal land line, including a number that all users can dial. I'd get that, just because I refuse to get service from Bell, since they've screwed me over a few times.
Hopefully it will attract attention of some Canandian politicians and induce them to put some strict limits on patents.
I don't see how Canadian politicians could be induced to put strict limits on patents that are in effect in the USA. They might be able to put pressure on American politicians to do the same, but will it make a difference? Canadian politicians are busy pressuring American politicians about beef at the moment.
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't need the type of technology you mention either..
So, maybe that's why that isn't the technology that they offer. From their website:
Through the development of integrated hardware, software and services that support multiple wireless network standards, RIM provides platforms and solutions for seamless access to time-sensitive information including email, phone, SMS messaging, Internet and intranet-based applications. RIM technology also enables a broad array of third party developers and manufacturers to enhance their products and services with wireless connectivity. RIM's portfolio of award-winning products, services and embedded technologies are used by thousands of organizations around the world and include the BlackBerry(TM) wireless platform, the RIM Wireless Handheld(TM) product line, software development tools, radio-modems and software/hardware licensing agreements.

Damn, now I know who took my screenname! I always wanted to be known as 'The HotOne'...
Mice are very tasty, at least according to Farley Mowat, but far less usefull than mouses at controlling cursors.
I play cards.. every day from midnight until about 8am. Various games and variations, because otherwise it becomes awfully monotonous.
7AM, sure. True enough, then when 5PM hits the mark - BAM - you should be outta there.
Don't you mean 3PM? Or is it normal to work crazy 10 hour shifts these days?
You guys had the tape? Hahaha, I had the LP, and let me tell you, the plane was HUGE (and crushed) when you unfolded the thing. It was I think 3 LP covers wide. Very cool. Too bad my mom sold all my LPs.
Wood Man from the 2nd one sucked too.. was there any use for the forcefield thing whatsoever?
I remember Quick Man from the 2nd one as the hardest stage to beat I think..
I got the following prices by visiting a local computer store:

Visa stamps on the passport? They don't do that anymore do they? My passport is blank, and I've been all over Europe (in the late 90's though).
The German's didn't even look at my passport as soon as I told them I was from Canada.
Maybe they track it by computers now instead, but I didn't notice anything more than a quick check of the passport.
