Sometimes the adverts are the best part of the shows. Now, *some* people can rewind and rewatch those Victoria Secret, KY Warming Gel, exercise infomercials, and similar commercials over and over and over.
I just hope this doesn't include those lame locally-produced commercials, such as furniture, auto dealers, and the like.
"Yesterday we ran a 100-mile test where the lead vehicle was being driven manually and the robot was following," Jaczkowski said. "We did this successfully where the average speed was about 22 miles per hour. You may think that 22 miles per hour is not that fast when operational convoys are going 60 to 70 miles per hour. But you have to take into account that we did 68 right turns.
"You don't take right turns at 50 miles per hour, especially with a 20-ton robot."
According to this article, from the Alaska Department of Health & Social Services Public Health Division, Alaska has been watching out for problems associated with a potential Bird Flu pandemic for quite some time.
We would be one of the first to see it, but there are many questions to be answered.
FTA: "A recent report from the Center for Security Policy shows that the ARMB currently has investments in 68 companies that do business with Iran and eight with business ties to North Korea. Several billion dollars can be traced to these and other Alaskan investments."
The state has a resolution pending to study the matter.
My phone, internet, mobile, and DTV are all supplied by a member-owned cooperative (Matanuska Telephone). I used to have service through corporate suppliers, but switched years ago, and am glad I did.
The service costs less, and after the infrastructure and upgrades are paid for, I get a check back every year. Plus, we get to vote on stuff, and we own the company.
FTA: "Across the United States, at least 14 pending laws -- including Missouri HB 1266 -- differ in language and strategy, but "all would weaken science education," said AAAS President Gilbert S. Omenn, professor of medicine, genetics and public health at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. "The AAAS Board of Directors opposes these attacks on the integrity of science and science education," he added. "They threaten not just the teaching of evolution, but students' understanding of the biological, physical, and geological sciences.""
Just as you can't always rely upon the police to protect you (they come after the crime/whatever has happened), or the fire department, etc., so too must each person be diligent in making sure that their not being victimized. This case is a perfect example of why.
" The Pleistocene Holocene transition took place about 11,000 years ago and caused the extinction of a large number of animal species including mammoths, mastodons and ground sloths. The Holocene looked very different from the Pleistocene."
I first discovered the site a couple of years, also, when I noticed a bill stamped with "Track this bill at Wheresgeorge.com". I have entered quite a few, (some I found and some I stamped) and while some travelled quickly across the country, some took almost a year to go to the next town.
There are a lot of people, in fact I'd hazard to say the majority, who simply don't notice their money. Also, believe it or not, some people don't have internet access. So I wonder how many people handled the bills, and what their travels were, between entries.
There are also many people who handle money (store clerks, esp. liquor store clerks), then touch their faces, smoke a cigarette, eat, etc. without washing after handling the bills. They wonder why they get sick so regularly.
Excellent and informative post. "These tags are too expensive, or also too big and too weak to be of concern to people."
Today, perhaps. But tomorrow?:"An unusual pool of scientific talent at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, combined with new nanofabrication and nanocharacterization instruments, is helping to open a new frontier in electronics, to be made up of very small and very fast devices." and ""When the first computer hard disk was introduced 50 years ago, it required a rather large size to store each bit of digital information. On today's computer disks, the corresponding size is about one-50-millionth of that needed in the original disks. We are now moving well into the nanoscale range, and nanomagnetism is one of the real drivers of the nanotechnology field.""
Will it take 50 years to make RFID tags ubiquitous? Probably not.
"I don't know about you, but I have Horseman 4x5 cameras coming out of my ass."
Sounds painful, however, FTA: "Things from the thrift store...
As a way of improving on the results of my first primitive scanner camera frames, the redesign of existing optical devices and simple cameras proved to be extremely valuable. While large format camera frames are traditionally prohibitively expensive for the amateur photographer, there are a number of alternative sources that can provide high-quality results. The redesign and modification of devices such as magic lanterns, overhead projectors, and box model cameras of the 20's and 30's worked quite well. These hybrid digital cameras provided fairly high quality results, and were much more versatile and easy to use than the more primitive variants."
The article also mentions cardboard and duct tape.
"The federal government will spend in excess of $400 billion with contractors this year and over $100 billion is expected to be spent with small businesses. Now business people from all over the U.S. can learn first hand from the experts how to capitalize on these business opportunities with federal government agencies without leaving their own offices"

Uh oh, the cat's out the bag. Fark used to be a fun diversion, then they went for the buck. DIAF.

You're assuming that someone from google didn't leak it.
It's been said that there's no such thing as bad publicity. Making something 'secret' only adds to the interest.

Only way to go, IMO.
I also read another article about a vehicle the Pentagon is testing, but I forget what it was about.

In fact, this case is but one example of many that we have been hearing about, and by the time the company admits it, the damage may be done. The criminals are always coming up with new ideas, scams, and tricks, such as the "You've won the lottery! Deposit this check and we'll send you your lottery winnings"
Punishment, no matter how severe or financially crippling, will not stop this.
" The Pleistocene Holocene transition took place about 11,000 years ago and caused the extinction of a large number of animal species including mammoths, mastodons and ground sloths. The Holocene looked very different from the Pleistocene."
This case is a non-starter, and the Judge should sanction the plaintiffs, IMO.

Looks like they need an artificial sun.

Opened a path to new computer technologies and related devices
At least it could lead to something useful.
If I were blind already, I'd be willing to risk it.

Sounds good to me.
Also, global warming will be a thing of small concern.

If that is slow, then maybe what you want is gold nanorods. This could be the next generation in optical chips.
Except for now, it's still in the 'concept stage' (meaning I have to imagine I am playing GTA under Linux). A few more tweaks, and I'll have it.
