Still, using Lego is just a little insane, and there is the minor problem of a '1' or a '0' slowly degrading into '0.5's further along the Lego logic chain...:-)
LEGO quantum compters now!!! Wow!
Right, should have thought of that, original is 448.5 MB.
The type of music is Ska. (OC Supertones: Hi-Fi Revival) This was done with iTunes 4.5.
For the other post, the
MP3 bitrate: High Quality (160 kbps)
Appleloss Less: Automatic
ACC: High Quality (128 kbps)
The format of the original music was whatever comes off the cd and the codecs are which ever are imbedded in iTunes
Maybe its just what you're used to? As an engineering student I have to use the "English" units all the time and can use them much quicker then when a prof throws a curveball metric problem in the mix. Also you could choose to use a different factor that wouldn't require the extra conversion, such as the density of water is 62.4 lbs/ft^3 fresh water or 64 lbs/ft^3 salt water.
* Coastal States exercise sovereignty over their territorial sea which they have the right to establish its breadth up to a limit not to exceed 12 nautical miles; foreign vessels are allowed "innocent passage" through those waters;
* Ships and aircraft of all countries are allowed "transit passage" through straits used for international navigation; States bordering the straits can regulate navigational and other aspects of passage;
These are two points from the Law of the Sea treaty recognized by the UN. The countries also have a 200 naut. mile Exclusive Economic Zone to which they have exclusive rights to regulate the natural resources. Being that its an international treaty there are all sorts of exceptions and finer points but that's the basic gist of it. As for blocking ships from entering a countries waters, generaly it's up to the individual port to decide whether they'll allow a ship to enter their port although depending on the manifest a country my intercede but not usualy.
"The other curious aspect of yesterday's release is the use of Secret Service agents in the bust. The Secret Service, we naively presumed, was employed to protect high-ranking elected officials. " Actually thats just part of the Secret Service's job. They are officialy under the treasury department and are also in charge of counterfeiting investigations and some other things... I'm not sure how ileagle CD copying falls under this, but they don't just protect politicians and civil leaders.
Yeah... that last line was sarcasm sorry I didn't use those little tags... I was just trying to point out how much easier it will be for our government to do this because of computers. Hopefuly it being a beurocracy won't fail us agian and they never get out of the planning stage to impliment it...
The Stasi actually just had to swipe something you touched with a special cloth and then put it in a jar. If I remeber correctly for some reason (maybe a chemical added) being in the jar amplified the smell so even a human could distinctly tell the difference between them. Actually the Stasi's main problem was that they collected too much information. They had data on almost every citizen and they weren't able to process it all to determine who was and who wasn't doing things they wern't suppose to. It seems like our government maybe headed down the same path but with the help of computers and centralized DB maybe they'll get it right...
I'm currently a student at Webb Institute in Glen Cove, NY on the north shore of Long Island. Our school is one of only 6 or so schools in the country that grant degrees in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineer. The school "gives" us all computers when we first arrive the first weekend. They are ours until we, fail out, leave, or graduate when they offer to sell them to us for the value of the a survey of eBay prices for similar machines. We don't have tuition so they don't raise our tuition to pay for them and our room and board are significantly low enough to not be the source of computer funding. Along with the laptops our campus has a wireless network so we are able to check our mail, work with software with network locks and surf the internet (play quake, read/.) from anywhere on campus. I can honestly say that having the computer has been invaluble. It is much easier to work on a group project and be able to sit around a library table or in another common area and spread out papers and work than to have a bunch of people huddled around a screen in a computer lab. Its a lot easier to email files back and forth than to have everyone use the same computer. We use our computers for almost all our classes, in chemistry we put lab data right into the computer we'll be writing the report from, math we use Maple and mathcad, NA and ME we use special programs such as HecSalv and GHS. We live under an honor code so theft of the laptops isn't a problem, as well as having 24/7 to anyplace on campus, I can and do leave my laptop in the Library at my desk in the classroom and anywhere else I want to put it down. Hell I could leave a breifcase of diamonds lying around and no one would touch them. Actually the only real prob with the computers is when you're working on them from 10 to 23 1/2 hours a day (sometimes you just have to stop to eat) they're just not as rugged as they could be (and the're running Win, I would prefer a Mac or Linux but hey stupid engineering software...)
The Deutsches Museum in Munchin, Germany was hands down the best museum I've ever been in. They have the perfect assortment of hands on exhibits and traditional exhibts. They range from computers (peices of ENIAC), to sound (rooms explaining sound and a gallery full of musical instruments) to trains, ships, and mining. When I was in the ship gallery they had a full size canal tug (I think, yes I'm a Naval Architect but everything gets fuzzy after awhile.) It had an opening to see the inside structure and engine. While I was looking at it an employee came and started the engine! This was in the middle of a museum. I could have spent the rest of the year in there but unfourtunatly I only had a day. http://www.deutsches-museum.de/e_index.htm

Is this the same trailer that was after the credits of Reloaded?

Any time, sorry I don't have flawless typing skills and never make a mistake...
