So, if you put a bunch of these tubes together in a sphere with the barrels all pointed inwards and use Estes rocket motor ignitors so they all go off at the same time can you cause the oranges to fuse?
Don't water the drinks down. When the temperature sensor on the processor starts peaking a little ice cube (de-ionized water so things don't short out) drops on top of the chip.
What... this isn't running "zillion clock-cycles to add 2+2", Windows...!) Linux, it should run nice and cool, expecially if you don't compile code while drinking.
Now that's the way to go! Get rid of the rapidly spinning disk of alluminum. Get rid of the microscopic magnetic domains on some ferric material that softens with old age.
Solid state memory worries me a bit. Now you are at the point that a sub-atomic particle can make a 0 into a 1. Think of storage on silicon like the QC steps in the manufacturing of LCD displays. A few bad bits don't make a bad chip. Just map them out as unusable and move along. A memory storage device the size of a wafer would have gigabytes of capacity (be a little pricey at first). You could embed the controller on the wafer, cover the thing over with some buckeyball carbon to make it harder than snot.
Racing used to have a driver and a mechanic in each car. The mechanic was responsible for keeping the vehicle at it's top performance. (Sometimes by reaching into the motor to make adjustments to the carb. I don't see the differences between a mechanic on the sidelines with a lap top, telemetry link and computer control system to make those same adjustments.
Naah, for the good chemistry read "The Curve of Binding Energy". There was a semi-related thread a few days ago about shock sensitive explosive compounds.

Sounds groovy,
Buy your computers from IBM
Buy your operating system from Microsoft
Buy your telecom/ internet from BellSouth
------------
I have had to deal with all three and they suck equally as well. (BTW, I work for a CLEC so I have firsthand experience dealing with an incumbent (incompetent(BellSouth)) phone company with ego's the size of Montana)
------------
DSL is so damned expensive and unavailable rurally because of the baby bell's arcane, antiquated systems that they don't want to upgrade. They just hope that the competition (CLEC's) go away so they can continue to sell you shitty service through the rest of the 21st century.

Take a look at the tarrif pricing on a DS1 or a DS3! Talk about dis-incentive for anyone expect for a fortune 500 to buy. The RBOC's hate bundled (data and voice)services, they hate UNE-P's, they hate their customers. Just send them the money and shut your mouth.
Same here,
I am a Starband user. The connection is two way. Up and down through the satellite. The DL speed gets up to about a Meg/sec, UL speed runs about 50-100K.
It's fine as long as it doesn't rain (like it is right now). In far northeast Alabama (aka.. redneck) DSL and Cable access are far off. (BellSouth said "never", Comcast said "in a few years").
The 360 Modem (satellite TX/RX unit with a USB and 10 base port) is trouble free. I want to stick the feed horn on a large, second-hand C band dish to cut through the rain fade.
When there are no other choices then satellite is the only way to go.
BTW, gaming is damed near impossible and the system hates NAT forwarding (VPN for work). I have a Sun Blade indirectly attached to the network via a junky 486 as a firewall.
Hooray!
There are a few of us out there that try to run a computer on something other than an In-hell processor. I have a bunch of SPARC boxes just for the heck of having something that hasn't sold it's soul to Gates.
The interference to avionics could result in the front end of the reciever's to be "desens'ed". Aircraft radios are fairly wideband. A signal (or a harmonic of that signal) falling into the "window" of the front end can saturate the pre-amp. This could cause reduced reciever sensitivity. Usually selectivity (the ability to look at a smaller bandwidth) can overcome this form of interference.
I think it's a scam. About twenty years ago I interviewed for a position with Airphone in their R&D lab (what a joke, a test bench in an old store in Joliet Il). High tech wasn't their forte.

OJ, with lots of pulp!
Of course, if you write in prose you will have a problem. I guess prayers, with repetitive phrasing would also be filtered out.

Of course you could comply by sending a 2 GB log in on a few thousand 8" diskettes.

Sure you will get flamed but you are right. They may suck as a company but on occasion, they can accidentally create (or buy) something decent.

I think he doesn't need the penis enlargement. Have you seen a picture of his face? . His condoms come in "44 wide" with a 16" neck
