Example, day has many meanings today: In my Grandpa's day, things were different, words had meaning and one could understand that meaning from syntax... or something.
There's two words to examine. Die and Day. Surely being cast out is also a way to die, and they were cast out of the Garden immediately, right? I should think that die is unambiguous here, the phrase I would focus more on is "in the day."
Strong's Concordance gives the root Hebrew for this phrase a definition of more than just the standard 24 hour day. It's the same word to describe creation "days" and great periods of time more usefully described as "ages".
The "What she's alive?" question was meant to point out that she is, in fact, dead. God didn't lie to Eve. When she disobeyed God and touched the fruit, she became mortal. The implication is that, before the fruit touching, she was not mortal.
yes, and the cat/rats thought the food was trying to get away and didn't realize until (movie moment) just a little too late that the propulsion system the food employed could be dangerous.
Can't wait to see this on the big screen someday.
Very exciting and entertaining series of books. Hopefully they won't butcher it.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned this before your post. I told my children (3.5 and 1.75 years old) only once what that bell on the truck means and they responded to it approriately thereafter. They were immediately trained to jump up, beg for ice-cream and run to the front door when that bell sounds in the neighborhood. They salivated too.
The only thing I hate more than hot weather is yankees.
Sorry, you'll have to move out of Florida to avoid the yankees. New Yorkers moving to Florida in droves Hundreds of thousands of us are moving in right next door. Solution: Raise your taxes, drop your temperatures (99 inches of snow a year would slow them down), get rid of those pretty beaches...
I'm father to 3.5 month old twin girls. My wife recently joined a local mothers-of-twins-club, of the 11 people joining the club that night, 10 used drugs to conceive, one (my wife) did not... The club has grown because of these drugs, and the pediatrician made it clear that the rate of multiple births has doubled because of them!
Does the doubling of the multiples birth rate because of these drugs imply a doubling of the chimera twinning rate?
IANARS, and I'm way to late to reply to this thread, but why can't aerogel be used to fill any damage on shuttles' tiles?
When it first appeared in science rags and TV, it was promoted to be an easy and simple insulator of heat, showing blow torches applied opposite a piece of ice for emphasis. NASA's own website includes the pictures "1,400 degrees C" on one side, room temperature on the other.
John Glenn's flight, STS-95 included experiments on making the stuff in space.
Is anyone working with aerogel today and why can't we inject it into the wings of the shuttles to make them "solid insulator material" the whole way through or at least paste the stuff in any holes created like a space based caulk?
It's used on Stardust to capture, well, dust, and was used on pathfinder...
The only complaint I've seen, it is fragile so perhaps it would be pulverized on return...
If motorcyclists installed the collection plate over their mouths (or over any exposed skin) they would capture plenty of bees, lady bugs, moths and larger insects. That's where the largest ones impact when I ride.
Seriously though, the aerodynamic properties of the vehicle has something to do with size and location of impact?
Why can't study participants scan the collection plate and email the resulting image? Just include some glass cleaner with the collection plate so you could wipe off the platten.
Sure, emailing a high-resolution scanned image of a target would make biological sampling impossible, but it would give a pretty good first look. If they put distance markers on the target, they could compare splatter marks and any leftover bug-chunks (wings?) for size... now, off to lunch...
powder aluminum + rubber = rocket fuel, eh, what pushes the shuttle into the sky
I thought the envelope of this ship was rubberized cotton, but could be wrong.
I can just imaging what a nice large surface covered with aluminum powder, subsurfaced with rubber and all coated in nitro cellulose would do when struck by a lightning bolt or something. Actually, I don't have to imagine it, do I... oh the humanity or something.
NASA ran test on the fabric a few years ago: http://www.hydrogenus.com/advocate/ad22zepp.htm
I especially enjoy a nice bitter chocolate with a dark roasted bean. That stuff is so dark I have to drink a glass of water just to survive the experience! something about washing the pallete?)
Double whammy. Too bad the caffein causes my heart to fibrulate.
last I checked, 5,000 music CDs can be had for around $1 each... if you provide the master and art.
Fife and drum corps, marching bands, small folk musicians often do this, cutting 1k at a time for a buck or two and selling for $15. Also, my cousin's old band ran an indy label themselves selling CDs at trendy record stores in NYC and at concerts.
$3 was too expensive for them, they would have scoffed at $5 unless it included a studio and master. (And they you keep the master, unlike RIAA companies where all your base belong to them.)
Know RIAA, no peace. No RIAA, know peace. or something.
Sorry, I didn't really answer your question. Bush is an evil fucker, because he is stirring up war in a previously stable, if not actually peaceful, part of the world. All he wants out of Iraq is cheap oil. The North Koreans are a far bigger threat than the Iraqis, but there's no sign of troops going in there - why? Because you got your arses handed to you last time?
They wouldn't know a cost REAL saving measure if it reached up and punched them in the fucking face. (Here's an idea FIRE THE HR PEOPLE, that'll save you some bucks) Dregs, you wouldn't wish your children to become one.
"Hey, HR Prick, the technical guy that has the highest salary in that department you're gutting makes the most money because HE'S SO MUCH BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE."
God, I swear, when I'm emporer of the world, there will be a good, old-fasioned, purge of those people. (can you tell I've been burned by h-r types recently?)
10,000 light years away and I'm not holding my breath waiting for the big pop, which the article indicates could come in the next 50,000 years.
But I would assign an undergrad to keep an eye on this daily and be prepared with some high powered [space based] telescopes to capture it's death in all it's glory.
Almost like being there?
What would the cost be to take a picture of this star every day/month and just observe it?
This is a very interesting topic, especially right now. We are in a down market, and there is an irresistable temptation for some employers to make lowball offers to currently-unemployed candidates.
No doubt, everyone I know whose lost their job in the last year and found another has been taking a $10k to $20k pay cut! We're talking 40+ people almost all sys-admin types. Of course, as soon as something that pays $1/hour more comes along, they'll drop what they're doing in a heart-beat and the low-balling employer will cry boo hoo... until they drag in the next low-ballee to replace them.
server friendly DSL providers?

DSL Rising
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
My issue with DSL vs Cable: port blocking.
The cable company apparently wants nothing to do with hobby servers on their network, blocking ports and what not. Several in my family have the service and get terrible upload speeds, and blocked ports.
It seems the DSL providers in the area don't block ports, but you get worse upload speeds than cable.
Are there any server friendly DSL providers out there? I'm in Rochester, NY, and many of the so-called national DSL providers don't offer service in my area. I'm plenty close enough to the POP and get decent speeds with DSL now, but want 512 Kb ADSL that won't cost a mint every month.
Amen. My former employer (a certain large digital printer manufacturer) was like that, merit based raises bound to your ranking in the department, the department's budget, where you sit in your current pay range, and a bunch of other bullshit in place purely to water down the curve. The most useless waste of cubicle space choked out 5% while the most productive earned 6%. Can't have the most productive and valuable employees feeling all wanted and superior now, can we.
Of course, two years ago, they pushed the yearly merit raises off a full fsking quarter, dropped bonuses, offered totally worthless stock "options" (Options to buy stock at %300 the current value!) and dropped all funding for parties and most reward programs.
This year, they gave 3000 people walking papers for Christmas. (on top of the 10k or so during the first parts of the year) Of course, they replaced many of those with people from a failed division.
I swear I'm going to start a company and treat employees right, we'll have the highest morale of any company. Of course, I have no idea what we would do, but our morale would be high... The stock holders would probably vote in some multibillionaire CEO who would fire everyone of value, close factories, weaken the product line and upgrade the corporate jet.
You should all try the stench coming from a sauerkraut factory some time... The small towns of Shortsville, Manchester and Clifton Springs, NY all stink like, well like rotting cabbage from the discharge of byproducts into aeration and decomposition ponds and other manufacturing processes. (Silverfloss brand)
That smell nauseates me. But the end product, hmmmm Silverfloss sauerkraut...
Want to stop avoidable motorcylce accidents caused by left-turning blue-haired car drivers? Attach a 500 Pounds of HE to the bike with sensors. If a collision would otherwise kill the rider, then blow everything withing 100' sky high. For a special treat, make the explosives directional (oooh, shaped charges are pretty cool!) and merely take out what's in front and behind the bike, not on top...
Sure, you'll kill lots of bikers, but you'll kill the drivers who cause the accident too... Maybe this would make that soccer mom in the minivan a little more attentive. Little else would.
(OK, for those who are sarcasm impaired, I'm not serious about the HE, but I am serious about the cause of the accidents. Alcohol (tipsy biker), speed and road conditions are nothing compared to stupid inattentive car drivers turning in front of motorocylces when counting the reasons for various accidents. I don't know it is soccer moms who cause the most accidents, could be little old people. Perhaps someone can dig up the data for me...)
who knows what the results of projects like this will demonstrate? Bond movie years ago; strap the viewer into a chair, measure eye movements and track those on screen to determine which places the viewer was looking, then generate distractions to draw attention to the place the advertiser wanted attention drawn, the actresses hair for shampoo example. Of course, Bond looked at cleavage, buns, boat's engine...
In today's case, the advertiser could deliver a jumble of images that you can barely discern in real time that has the power to change your opinion through subconscious processing. Don't underestimate the power of planting suggestions this way. You may just wind up with that minivan you never really wanted after watching a stream of short clips on the utility of a cup holder.

Of course, as with most verses, you can read it several ways. If it wasn't ambiguous, it wouldn't be any fun.

that's the part of the scanner, the flat glass thing you put the but spattered sample on.
