I went with a friend to the Apple store for him to get the new iPhone. While standing there I stated comparing my version 1 iPhone to the new ones. While holding them side by side for a size comparison I noticed the new version had only 3 bars while my phone had 5 bars. I thought it may have been this particular phone but nope every phone in the store had 3 bars! I'm waintg for version 3 if my battery will hold out.
Sorry you have had this experience. I have an Infrant NV+ and it initially had a SODIMM go south in the second week. Infrant sent out a replacement instantly and due to xraid I didn't even lose a file in the process of swapping it out.
You mean when you type in Chronic you can get that on eBay?

Interesting to see what kind of feedback you would get from that sale.

You can already buy channels a la carte. It's that they just charge the same price as for the next programming teir.
I wanted HBO so I could watch the Sopranos and that's all I wanted. The price for adding this one channel, only $9.95. The next tier with HBO and a bunch of other stuff, $9.95.
It's that type of behaviour they should be addressing.
The Disney gatlin gun uses compressed air to launch shells in the 4 to 8 inch range. At least this was the sizes they launched a few years ago when I saw the system, maybe they they go up to 10 inch but Disney doesn't shoot many 12 inch shells anyway.
They have a large several hundred horsepower air compressor at each air launch system for the lifting oumph. No nitrogen involved as it is too expensive to use in the quantities required.
The shells are plastic encased shells that are a little enlongated (not sperical like normal shells, think eggish). Inside each shell is a little electronic circuit and electric match. The circuit is engergized by a inductive coil in the base of the fiberglass launch tube. The circuit doesn't use altitude per se but a timed interval instructed in the coding pulse at the launch event.
The bulk of the show will still be fired normally as they have lots of ground level effects and lots of smaller shells that would be too numerous to fire in the air launch system unless they have made great strides in its firing rate. I shot many a show that had 100 of 3 and 4 inch shells going up per second.
Still plenty of smoke to be smelled around the lake in Epcot.
Yep, I want to be able to rebuild after one of my coworkers gets run over by a bus. And it happened too! Well not exactly a bus but he is now dead just the same. Documentation and marketing materials are stored in our source control too.
AdroidCat you are right on! We do store uncompressed video files in the repository so we can recompress them or have the source files for a re-edit. Storing binaries takes up a shitload of space.
IMO, StarTeam's version control system is the best for web or other large scale projects for storing other than just code. They even have a dumbed down product (StarDisk) for the script writers and managers.
We have a project with over 51,000 files that is 130 gigs in size. StarTeam never had a hiccup.
but without sophisticated guidance systems and telemetry any weapons utilizing hobby rocketry parts are just an unguided high speed bottle rocket.
With the explosion of the AeroTech plant in Nevada, rocket motors are harder to get anyway. Several other manufacturers have developed their own motor systems and reloads in their place.
I personally got out of High Power when the shipping and hazmat fees started to cost as much or more than the motor. Now that the guvment is more involved I do pyrotechnics instead. But that won't last much longer either.
A couple of pyrotechnics sites in case you're interested.
In the energy services field it is common to send data up the drilling fluid on a drilling rig. They use a valve downhole to modulate pressure waves up the pressurized fluid in the pipe. This gives them details of the environment at the drilling bit. They data rate is quite low.
90% of higher of Hydrogen Peroxide it what they need plenty of.
Just keep it off of anything remotely organic least your find your parts itchin' an' a burnin'.

The only item that is never mentioned in this dicussion it where are the friggin parents? Who usually bought the game for little timmah?
I did seen GTA being played on a PS2 by my 8 year old nephew and thought the game was prety cool but way inappropriate for him. I asked his parents and the game was bought for the dad who was clueless about it's content until shown. The mom freaked and called it X-rated which is overreactionary.
The game is not that bad but a game for mature people only.

Just enter/paste (dpss) (laser,lasers) (blue) into the ebay search box?
I have a 10mw 473 Blue laser for sale: $500

Why wouldn't be something easily available like this Bismuth Alloy available at Small Parts. They have the greatest stuff for building things.
Well VZ is in my alley (Lewisville, Texas) installing fiber to the home. They "promise" 15mbps down and 3mbps up for $49.99. Yea, we'll see.
Why buy something they were just going to destroy anyway?

Thanks for the mirror! You may regret it after the bill for the bandwidth! If I'm feeling brave maybe I'll mirror it too.
It is the Land of SUVs and I will drive over you when you visit while browsing the web along the Richardson corridor.
