Water is good.
The water will only be released in the area of the house where the fire is (Hollywood, please take note.), and if you hook the system up to an alarm, water damage will be minimised if someone turns off the sprinkler after the fire is put out.
Yes, it seems pretty optimistic to me too. _If_ they make it to space, I don't see how they could return with a nose-up attitude (since the plane is designed to go nose-first). They will end up going too fast, and break up on reentry, or stall and end up in a flat spin.
Good luck to them, but I hope they try this with remote control first.
IANAL, but looking at the web page, something more substantial than a name page would be required.
o the name is similar (Warcraft/Freecraft)
o the game plays in a similar fashion (I don't know the details on this, never having played Freecraft, but this is stated in the article)
o the artwork is very much like Warcraft (look at the screenshot on the website - it just screams Warcraft in style)
To me, it appears like a direct knockoff, with perhaps a few things rearranged, but no original work.
The movie is a Good Thing, but I wish they had used the LOTR model, and filmed all the books at once! Expense would have been minimal, since there would be a _lot_ of post production to generate the full background sets.
I think that a good chunk of the box office for LOTR came from people who found out that they would be getting all three books, and not just a first film teaser.
Oh well, here's hoping that the film does well, and the sequels get made anyway.
It isn't intended for the use of drivers, but rather those who maintain and clear the roads.
In other words, those who do the salting, sanding, plowing etc.
o 2500+ gallons of water to produce one pound of edible beef (about 1/2 of the water use in the US
0 25 gallons of water to produce a pound of wheat
And so on.
It doesn't matter so much how much it takes to produce something, but rather what happens to the waste products.
And that is one of the few areas where I don't mind government regulation. Use all the resources you can justify, but clean up your mess afterwards. Economics will take care of the rest.
You do realise that as the owner of record of this one acre, you are the one who will be charged the property tax? I hope you have a tenant lined up...
>Conventional radar *can* detect stealth craft. Most of the stelath craft around
Back when I was in the military, working at an air defence hardware project, we did pick up an F117 coming to an airshow over in Europe on radar, at about 2.4 km out.
The civvy engineers really happy about this, until I pointed out that in the real world, under wartime conditions, there would be active electronic countermeasures, and that our radar had probably been picked up at 20 km, and an anti-radar missile had probably been launched at more than 10 km away.

It just happens to be developing a new meaning, by virtue of common usage:
boxen
(By analogy with VAXen) A fanciful plural of box often encountered in the phrase "Unix boxen", used to describe commodity Unix hardware. The connotation is that any two Unix boxen are interchangeable.

Lower salaries are the main reason, but throw in fewer benefits to be paid, cheaper medical, lower taxes, simpler (and fewer) regulations, and so on.
You can look on it as exploited workers overseas, or spoiled workers at home.

Now that is an entirely different kettle of fish from a straight knockoff, and my sympathy for Blizzard drops greatly at this point.
A work-alike converter for using Warcraft on unsupported platforms has my (qualified) support.

Well, it _might_ be ok for gaming, but as a practical computer workstation, it leaves a lot to be desired.
I use my computer for working, not just gaming, so ample desk space is a necessity.
I'm also curious about the stability of the hanging monitors -- will the monitors shake every time you move?
Ditto getting in and out of the chair if you need to go to the printer, use the head, or hit the fridge for a shot of caffeine.
If you look at the Dune mini series as a stage play, rather than a big budget blockbuster film, it comes across much better.

I think I'll take anything said by someone calling himself cyberyogi (which he does on one of his other pages) with a grain of salt.
Oh, wait, salt's bad for me too. Is nothing safe any more?
In Canada, you can give them Santa's postal code (and yes, this is a valide code):

Quieted them down real fast.
Technology works, if you know how to use it.
