520 days - 30 days for the simulated stay on the surface = 490 days round trip or slightly more that 16 months BOTH ways. Since oldspewey seems to be talking only about the outbound leg 8 months is about right.
You are right though a month does in fact have less than 65 days.
My bad, it is not part of the State Department, it is directly part of the Executive Office of the President of the United States. The rest of my comment stands.
ACTA is not an organization, it is the name of a (currently proposed) treaty being negotiated by Office of the United States Trade Representative which is part of the US State Department (which is part of the Executive Office of the President of the United States). Even though the negotiations started before the current administration, they are being carried on by THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION! Since this is a part of the US government that is under the purview of the president he could simply by executive order make this public. So far he has not. That a trade agreement could be kept secret as a mater of national security is utterly spurious.
If you can include going downhill then why not figure max speed as terminal velocity at sea level air pressure. ie. Max speed after driven off a cliff. Should be able to get into the 70's easy.
However the constitutional protection against ex-post-facto laws would keep those companies from being charged with what they did in the past I would think. Or not, IANAL
So if I wanted to crunch some of this data on my old Apple//e how many of the 143k 5.25" floppy disks would I need? When I try the math in Visicalc all I get is #err
You see, it's a joke. Look it's like this, CLR is the name of a commercial cleaner that gets it's name from what it targets; Calcium, Lime, Rust. CLR is also an acronym for the Common Runtime Language which is what all.NET languages compile down to. The intentional use of one in place of the other is intended to be humorous. However you should be aware that it loses it's humor if it has to be explained.
About 1/3 of states do not require any periodic inspection. Many of the states with emissions testing only require it in metropolitan areas whose air quality does not meet federal standards. Looks like only 40% currently have statewide safety inspections periodically.
However, as far as I know every state requires you to register your vehicle annually, that would be the time to do it.
Yes, first sale is a right. However "First Sale" implies that subsequently I as the consumer have the right to resell a product once I am finished with it. Ford doesn't tie the ownership of my Tarus to me forbiding me to sell it in the future. A more appropriate analogy would be that I have the right to sell the dead tree versions of books, even though the original publisher/author had the first sale right to the copies I own. DRM steals (in the same sense that software piracy is stealing, which is to say it's not but I digress) from me the right I have to reclaim some part of the value of my purchase by selling it to another consumer.
DRM is at it's simplist an erosion of the consumers rights to the product they purchased.
Basically you need a conductor between the two electrical probes of the taser that carries the charge with less resistance than the human body since electricity will follow the path of least resistance. So, chain maille should work.
I'd prefer my police to be run by and for the people, i.e. the government, rather than for profit. That said, the FBI/CIA has been ludicrously incompetent in tackling this problem.
The blurb said they were going to collect data and forward it to the authorities. I don't get the leap to private police force you seem to be suggesting.
Oh for fucks sake, it was a genuine question, not an attempt to flame. WHY is this guy's opinion given so much weight? I mean Stallman, ESR, Linus etc... Yep, those guys I get. But Cory?
WHY is all I'm asking. (And no doubt another idiot mod will mod me down, which just confirms everything people say about mods on here.)
Probably because his work with the Electronic Frontier Foundation gives him a certain amount of credibility? Is it justified? I don't know. But he does have a track record of being on what most slashdotters would consider being the "right side".
it is safe to think that the supplies sent would last until just a few days before the last one dies.
Yes, baring unnatural causes of death it would be safe to say that no mater how many supplies they send the supplies will last until a few days before the last person dies.

Heck all of the real estate agents I know use PalmOS smartphones because they have some seriously vertically integrated apps for the real estate business that are only on the palm. Same goes for doctors. Heck I still carry my Palm TX and use it daily.

Protip: If you have to explain the joke (in parentheses), it wasn't funny.

On the other hand, it kinda defeats the purpose of taking a shower to use a dirty shower head. Except if you take someone else there with you.
That is an entirely different "dirty shower head".
