Look at Cracker Barrel. They have a cool deal on audio books. You buy the audio cd at one CB and return it to any other CB for a full refund minus $3 or something like that per week (rental). I thought it was a cool deal and they have cracker barrels on every major highway.
I feel your pain. I've tried to read that book 3 times and have stopped at the same place everytime. I think I have to do what a friend did and that is skip all the philosophy part and just read the motorcycle trip and maintenance part.
Thanks for that info. I just replaced the battery in my 2002 Mazda Protege. I left it w/o a battery for a few days. When I finally did get it running I ffelt the stall while it searched for the ideal RPM. I thought it might have been a blocked injector or the likes. But your idea is much better.
The kid who got abused got scarred for life. No refuting that fact. But this guy downloading the pic has created a demand for this kind of thing which leads to more kids being abused for his fetish. I'm not saying that THAT particular kid could have been not abuse.
I'm saying that in the future kids might have been saved from abuse.
The harm done by him is due to the fact that he creates a demand that perpetuates the need for more kiddy porn leading to more child abuse.
He did actually do some harm. He is some way contributed to the demand for child porn. Some poor kid had to get abused for the photograph he has hoarded on his computer. That could have been one kid who wasnt abused but for the demand this guy created for kiddy porn. I dont mean to blame him totally for it but he did have a small part to play in it.
I agree that the punishment shouldnt be that severe as for a child molester who has actually carried out an act.
I saw an episode of MythBusters where they play different types of music to plants and test how it affected their growth, Heavy Metal beat classical music in increasing the yield in Pea plants.
This brings about the question whether heavy metal is more atonnal than classical music.
Food for thought....
What about the idiot who refuses to get back up to traffic speed just so that he can get to see the last episode of his favorite show and is too lazy/stupid/stubborn to pull over.. So now you have people who are going 3mph or slower just to see if Ross kisses Rachael or if Phoebe is pregnant while traffic is going past them at 35-40 mph
Nah...doesn't sound right to me.. Maybe if you let the audio be on and just switch off the video...but I'm sure there might be something wrong with that idea as well..
Adhish
Maybe when the robot sees an unforseeable (not sure whether I intended that pun or not), it call call back for help from the controllers at home. If all things are well, it can go on chugging along its merry way.
Why not have some system (explosive bolts or something like that) that disconnects the battery in case of a severe accident (where the airbags deploy). This way the system isn't energized and there are no stray amps running through the car. It would seem simple enough.
I remember the trench game...My older brother and I programmed it into our Toshiba (can't remember the number). It provided hours of fun. It was called Death Valley. The ASCII art takes me back...
I totally agree with this guys last statement. I've had to replace an alternator on my Buick and my Honda (the regulator was busted)....In India, the don't replace the part uncless it's physically broken and cannot be be fixed..When I had a problem with an alternator in my car in India, the guy took the alternator apart and replaced only the part that was busted...(I'm kinda jinxed with alternators I guess...)
We have a HP4600Dn which Duplexes and it's smart enough to tell people on it's LCD that they should not try to pull the paper. It's pretty smart.....I've seen many people trying to grab paper coming out of that thing
On a side note, the new printers and photocopiers are pretty smart...they help you to fix them....
The other day I saw someone using a similar product to this Vertical Mouse. I tried it out and it seemed pretty convenient.. Maybe it can solve your problem
Sure they could do that, but you can always check the authenticity of the code using MD5 or some other security method. Lots of software now uses something like that..... That shouldn't be too hard to do. At least this way it is scrutinzable ( I wonder if that is a word or did I just make one up...like GWB). With closed source, you just have to take their word for it.
And it's not conspiracy...we all know about Diebold and their code...It could happen and it HAS happened before
On the other hand, do you really want some closed source software handling your elections.
Would you rather have every GWB hating geek scrutinize the voting machine code with his self assembled electron microscope or some "security" company Diebold do it with closed source software which they CLAIM is "safe"
Just for the parents information. This technique only works when the camera and the subject being photographed are not in motion. If they are in motion then, in the time it takes to switch filters, the picture would have changed and then you wouldnt be able to composite them together accurately.

Threads on Slashdot about this predicted this. I cannot believe this experiment was even carried out.
Yeah...Those Disney execs. should have listened to the voice of the/. reader and not tried this experiment....Lord knows every/. prediction has come true (out-sourcing will never be successfull)...

Opportunity knocks but temptation leans on the door bell
I'm not sure if this even works or if this fits into your budget and I know it definately doesnt meet your no extra hardware requirements, but maybe there is some way to hook up a bluetooth GPS receiver to the cellphone and get your work done. I haven't tried it...(BT GPS receivers are still a bit beyond my budget)
It would be nice to know if anyone has had any luck with this kind of thing

Why not use a permanent magnet to create a magnetic field around the space craft. That would have the same effect as the earth's magnetic field. I'm not sure it would work but it's worth a shot. It beats carrying a ton of Lead around with you.
... that we cannot do stuff over the phone either. Would AT&T require a license to make credit cards over the phone. The phone is a telecom medium as well....
......measure or detect a particle that exists for 10^(-54) seconds....I'd say the bigger achievement is being able to detect something that exists for that less time rather than finding something that exists for that less time.

This is exactly what I am talking about in my
post (#7474597) earlier. Instead of changing an existing virus, create a custom virus and have it do the job. Being a CS major, I haven't a clue how they would do it, but, I'll leave that up to the Biochemists etc...They need a job too;)
If the virus could be designed to attack cancer cells, there might be an enormous benefit to it. Though, how they are going to invent a virus that does that, I don't know...
Maybe this is
"One small step for "a virus-developer " but one giant leap for "cancer eating virus kind" "
