the pictures are from a mound of meat and bent german steel. the girl was dead before the chunks of car had stopped rolling.
um... what is the name of that theory that says that if a civilization has the resources/technology to build a shield around the entire planet then they are so advanced that they dont NEED a shield?
how about something way simpler. invest in motion detectors that turns lights on as you approach them (variably of course: 1 mile away for highways, 200 feet for hallways, you get the idea)

Anti Scratch coatings are meant for eyeglasses and things of that sort: something you wear on your face, not in your pocket pressed against a key or a coin.
Glasses are also very light in comparison with a phone. If you put them down on something rough, the coating has to resist a comparatively smaller pressure from the scratching agent.
if you were to coat iPhone screens, they would get worn off fairly quickly and people would be crying like babies when their $600 piece of geek bling is not pristine anymore.

IMHO if you are a grownup and unable to open a clamshell and undo a couple twist ties without severing a major artery then maybe you should bleed to death in an emergency room and spare the world from your progeny of incapable mouths to feed.
no matter how tough the clear plastic,
1> get any minimally decent knife
2> penetrate the plastic on one corner (the top)
3> rest the oposite end of the package on a sturdy surface (a table) making sure the edge of your blade points down
4> push downwards on the blade until you reached the bottom.
5> pry open if neccessary.
if this too difficult or dangeours for the average citizen of the world? if so, we have much worse trouble than how barbie is packaged...

Instead of yet another round to the same old bashing of the **AAs why dont we use these forums to brainstorm and come up with a way to free the artists from the marketing whores?
you know, if there was an easier, cheaper, more effective way for all the recording artists to make their work known to the public and cut the middle man, they would do it.
Please dont come back to me with isolated success stories. I am hoping for ideas to help everyone in the creative side of the music business a decent living and all those a-holes in the marketing dept, homeless.
Exactly! Blue Security should sue Micro$oft just like the families of shooting victims sued handgun manufacturers in the past.
The concept is very similar: although the gun people were able to prove that "guns dont kill people" they still lost because their manufacturing and marketing practices were making it extremely easy for innocent people to be on the wrong side of the gun at the wrong time.
Windows doesnt launch DDoS attacks on its own but M$ puts crappy, half finished software on the market and its marketing tactic is to make it hard for the average Joe to buy a computer that doesnt come preinstalled with Windows ==> the innocent is standing on the wrong side of hundreds of thousands of computers attacking his livelyhood and his integrity.
M$ should pay.

Excellent point! Also, The body has developed a tiered approach to sensory input processing. If you step on a nail, the amount of information that needs to travel to your head is minimum before your 'reflex' pulls your foot up. on the other hand, the amount of information going from your retina to your brain to help you decide wether a girl is pretty or not is pretty massive and needs to be processed in parallel by many parts of the brain.
The advantage that our nervous system has is NOT the speed at which signal travels (electro-chemical is one of the least efficient known ways) but the capacity to parallel process and prioritize at a sub concious level (you are already pulling your foot up from the nail before your brain even knows what is it that is hurting down there)
(I am paraphrasing info learnt from a book called Singularity is Near by Ray Kurzweil and a Scientific American Article from a couple years ago but I dont remember issue #, sorry)
SAME HERE!! right on. now I have to figure out wether to do dishes or let the roaches eat them clean. but at least I dont have to hear complaints about the mess...
I switched! and im soooo happy about it. I know at least 2 more people who did and *SHHHH* yesterday I bought a Mac Mini to take to my mom when i go visit and scrap her old PC.
I bow down before the might of whoever is hosting this bit of video. I just watched the whole thing at 10am PST without a glitch...

well, Adding more 'stuff' to the universe is part of the creation process... Even more in this series where we go from the most open and uncertain beginning into a story full of loops and intricacies.
If King hadn't added any more "stuff" after he introduced us to Roland's world, The whole 7 tome work would have been reduced to : "The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed"

Even simpler!! Look for the Microsoft Logo during boot.
