I wonder what one of these big capacitors would do in a crash? At least they're not filled with so many chemicals as normal batteries, but what would happen?
The electric field would leak out. It would waft away on the breeze, and wherever it touched down, a little puddle of liquid electric field would form. If someone stepped in it, the liquid would get absorbed through their shoes (or their bare feet if they were in Maryland), travel up their legs through the Qi-energy channels, and end up in the eyes, where it would cause the eyeballs to glow. When such an afflicted person would look at an unafflicted person, the charge would flow into the other guy, and according to the Theory of Six Degrees, Kevin Bacon would eventually ground everyone out.
Or something like that. All I have to say is, thank God for Kevin Bacon.
Well, according to this US gov't report on titanium prices, titanium has never been cheaper, and consumption is generally up. I could find any market for titanium futures, BTW. Not COMEX, not FOREX, nothing. I wonder why that is?
Why do people insist on thinking this is for children that dont have any food and live in ditches.
Because that's all we see on TV, thanks to relief organizations. I've never seen "Prosperous Africa" on TV or in the news. Like it or not, what we casually see on TV while getting our SciFi channel fix does affect us.
The laptops will be sold to governments and issued to children by schools on a basis of one laptop per child.
How clear can they be?
(emphasis mine) A lot clearer than that. Isn't it the case that aid and relief that goes to African governments are largely diverted for the corrupt politician's use? I'd really like Negraponte to address that concern.
Just from the environment these things are going to be in, does anyone think that pop-up wireless "horns" are a bad idea? I'd imagine they'd easily be broken off. Then again, this is MIT. They've surely thought of this.... right?
I thought the idea was that if an institution carried out research on embryonic stem cells, it would lose federal funding for the entire institution, no matter what other bits of that institution were doing?
Well, I agree the analyst has responsibility, but since when should an employee have carte blanche access to information? There is such a thing as the Principle of Least Privelege, and in this case I think the OVA fell down.
Also, remember the Rules of People Club:
1. People are flakes.
2. You don't talk about People Club.
You know, I used to think that because of China's human rights record, we should just refuse to have anything to do with them. But then I figured that China could probably stand 100 years or more of isolation, so that certainly wouldn't be doing anyone any good. We couldn't go to war with China because they're way too big.
So I figured that the best thing over all would be to trade with China, hoping to get the Chinese citizens more wealthy, who would then start demanding more freedoms from their government.
Then again, what do I know, this isn't a game of Civ.
I agree completely! Science Machine should be totally readable. If it isn't readable, where will we get our daily fix of Science? Not from Science Machine, that's for sure!
Granström, a 50-year-old former veterinarian, has his own management problems. During our phone conversation his 13 sheeple escaped and were last seen charging toward his garden.
Man, I hate when managers refer to their direct reports as sheeple!
I hate to admit it, but I went through the motions to get out of high school so that I could go to college and (a) study what I was really interested in, and (b) study other subjects at a higher level. Although I'm not sure how I got into a good college by just coasting in high school. Maybe it was my entrance application essay -- I tried a sales pitch approach.
Lamassoure went on to say, "It is important to tax new technologies, to generate new revenues, especially to extend the reach of our existing tax to fight the Norman invasion of 1066."
Havana, Cuba (a colony of Spain), February 15, 1898
USS Maine: Blam! Glug, glug, glug.
America: WTF? Spain, can't you control your own damn harbor?!
Spain: STFU
Tomas Estrada Palma (head of Cuban Revolutionary Junta): Spain, I've got $150 million for you if you'll let us have independence.
Spain: STFU
American Democrats and Big Media: Free Cuba! Woohoo! Spain sux0rz!
Prez. McKinley and Republicans: WTF, we don't need dat shit.
Americans: Remember the Maine? Let's go kick some ass!
(April 25, 1898)
McKinley: No, YOU STFU! We declare war! As of... uh... 5 days ago!
Congress: Let's tax... inheritance! That oughta make us some bling-bling. Oh, and let's add one penny to the telephone bill. Only rich people have telephones, they can afford it.
(June 10, 1898)
US Marines: Ha ha, we ownz0r Guantanamo Bay! Freedom from torture for all!
(August 12, 1898)
Spain: Dios Mio! All our fleet are belong to you!
America: Yay, we win! Give us all your wine. And tapas.
Time Machine: Wowowowowow
(1982)
Congress: Let's set that war tax to 3% of the phone bill, that oughta keeps us in da bling-bling. But only until 1985.
(1984)
Congress: F Dat, we want to keep our bling-bling. At least until 1987.
(1987)
Congress: Mane, what were we thinking? Keep da bling-bling until... 1990?
(1990)
Congress: Too fun! Let's make it... permanent! Par-tee! Par-tee! Par-tee!
(2000)
Congress: That was stupid. Let's repeal the war tax.
Clinton: Ah agree. But there's nothing in this big ol' Bill (heh heh) about that edumication spendin' ah wanted. Y'see, it all depends on what the meaning o' the word "Spanish-American War Tax" is. Ah veto this Bill (heh heh, I cain't never get enough o' that joke, now come set on daddy's lap).
(2005)
Internet: Congress, you are too stupid!
Congress: Well, I guess we can try again.
Somehow, though, I think if a missile blows your aircraft in two, being able to communicate from the cockpit to the tail rudder isn't going to be very effective anyway.
