While it's powered by solar wind, it will slow down and reverse as it gets farther from the original star and closer to the destination star.
But you want to slow down when you get to the other star. Problems occur when the destination star is much larger or has a higher energy output than Sol, thats when you will start to reverse. If you were going from one star to another, both of equal energy output, then in the virtually frictionless environment of space you would accelerate from your departure point and then when you get to your destination, it would slow you down to a nice gentle stop.
All you would need to do though is retract the sail when you get up to the required speed.
From article: "As somebody who likes and enjoys a challenge, I'd want to find a way to utilize the two screens."
I get the feeling that DS game designers are trying to fit games to the touch creen, rather than designing a game that may end up using the touch screen. Seems like gimmick led devlopment to me...
I don't understand all this complaining about MS adding their own little non-supported-by-other feature and web designers using it. If the feature is a handy little feature and it gets used, can't the Mozilla team add in support for the same thing, thereby eliminating your complaint?
I may get flamed for this but I don't care, why complain about MS giving web designers a new tool to use and it gets used in a big way. If the feature is so useful, why can't the standards bodies and the Open Source world take a look at it and adopt it?
It would also act as a way for Mozilla to move into new areas by touting that Mozilla supports all MSIE extensions, plus runs on multiple platforms.
Limiting Mozilla to just the standards could be hurting it's acceptance in the business world...
Their SAP User Interface & Branding seems to be a good example of what they can do well. Sure the Packard Bell PC looked like shit, the Acer work they did wasn't bad.
The company is only as good as their current crop of designers, but their previous work is generally of pretty high standard.
Give the kids a magnifying glass and send them outside to fry ants and look at other stuff, much more educational than looking at a bunch of grey chips and shiny copper.
You said: You could try driving an axel-less(sp) vehicle like I do!
Minivans still have axles (look it up in the dictionary, dumbass), even small ones called stub axles. If you minivan runs on wheels, it will have axles.
So if I had two images both named the same but one was at http://www.ebay.com/auction/ebay.gif and http://www.auction.com/ebay/ebay.gif, which would be listed first?
Is there something wrong with Google that when you do a search for 'ebay logo' in their Image Search, you get a Harley Davidson logo at number 3 and a stuffed animal at number 5?
However, almost every single teenager in the world is a raging ball of hormones, and seeing T&A on TV only makes them hornier.
In other words, lots of kids will replicate sexual behaviour they see in movies and on TV, but not many will replicate the violent behaviour they observe.
Have you seen the nudity that is broadcast in a lot of European countries? They show breasts in commercials, do they have a massive teenage pregnancy problem? No they don't.
Do you think that it could be possible that restricting nudity could have the opposite effect in controlling teenage pregnancies?
Finally they are trying to equalise their violence vs nudity vs language levels, going the wrong way though.
How is it that in the US you can see as many shootings as you want on TV bvut as soon as someone says fuck or bares a breast, the loonies go nuts... I thought seeing people getting killed would harm a kid more than seeing a breast or two.
Your time should be occupied with things like your kids. You want fun, go buy a motorcycle or a boat. Go play golf or something.
What if you don't have kids or they go to bed at 7-8pm?
What happens when you work during daylight hours and your free time occurs at night? Playing golf at night is nigh on impossible (glow balls are ok but don't fly well) and riding a motorbike at night isn't a great way to make sure you live a long and fruitful life.
I thought the ultimate irony was Lucas' strangehold over the rights to the Star Wars universe to 'protect its value', then he goes and ruins that value with 'The Phantom Menace' and 'Attack of the Clones'.
"Vampyre" has been in the English language since the mid 1700s. I don't think you can just remove it bevcause you don't like the connotations it brings.
You need to work on your marketing skills... and yes, the manager needs to brush up on his tech skills too.
If you drew a picture or created a powerpoint slideshow on how the sniffed packets were compromising the security of his payroll DB, he might have listened to you.
As a previous poster stated, the porn industry has not embraced 3D animation because it is 10x easier and cheaper to shoot the real thing on film for a realistic looking result.
The realism of the scene will not matter so much when the 'scene' is being implanted directly. It will be the sensations that will be more important.
While gaming will prosper from this tech, it's important to note that gaming will also lead this technology further than any other field, because of the fierce competition in the global gaming market. The rest of the world is going to play catch-up to gamers.
On this point, I think you are wrong. Porn will lead the development of this technology whether you like it or not.
Imagine inputting porn signals directly into the brain, you could take porn from being an audio and visual experience into a full body experience. The possibilities are enormous (hopefully).
Just like the porn industry took up online credit card transactions faster than anyone else, the porn industry will lead the way in this field too.
But NZ$56 per year is stuff all to pay for a small shop. This gives you the right to play any RIANZ music in your store from CD. Perfectly reasonable fee I believe.

My 5 month old son weighs 10.1kg (~22.3 lbs) and I pick him up all the time.
Have all you geek muscles faded away to nothing?

Huh? Inside of a computer educational?

Dr Seuss was more scary than a Dalek ever was...

Shouldn't the domain have precedence?
Good point.

Last I heard, minivans still had axles...
And what would that be? A hovercraft?
Set up a series of events like you suggest but make them qualifying rounds, ie. you have to meet a minimum grade to reach the final race.
Going by this years event, there may not even be a race though...

Surprisingly like any recent Star Trek explosion...
I hereby label you Uber-Nerd, for actually knowing the physical dimensions for something that was never referenced in the movie.
You dressed as a stormtrooper for the Ep 2 release, didn't you?
