The Future of MREs

· Score: 2
In my previous life as a defense contractor, some reservists brought some MREs in to the lab... This was right when they came out, replacing the K-Rations (C-Rations?). They were totally nasty. Including the Spaghetti&Meatballs...
If you do save things in the registry, provide an import/export function so that you can take your settings with you when you upgrade/reinstall your computer.
These guys are fanboys of the Wrights. They have the time and the money (or sponsorship) to do it. So f*cking what if it "will add nothing to the body of human knowledge and experience".
To put it in the words of Sir George Mallory (sp?): "Because it's there!"
... the study may be flawed, and will do nothing but cause the public unnecessary confusion and concern
And just how would this be different from the endless contradictory studies that say [INSERT YOUR FAVORITE FOOD HERE] is good for you -- no, wait! it's bad for you -- no, wait again! it's good! -- no, it's bad... ad infinitum
The other thing that bugged me about not having original media, but a recovery CD (enough that I gave them the $10 for the OEM media) was that I wanted to install the Win2K Recovery Console. Unfortunately, you have to run WINNT32 from the CD, and guess what's not immediately visible on the recovery CD?
Actually, I did something similar when I bought mine from PC Club (Thousand Oaks, CA). I mentioned that I was going to install Linux, and asked them if they could do 2 20G partitions instead of a single 40. No problem. Only thing was, they had the OEM "recovery" Win2K CD. For $10, I upgraded to full standard media. Again, had docs for everything.
Good point. I didn't build my current machine. I've been there, done that with my previous machine. I decided to pay a little extra to have my local shop build it from my specs. Doesn't mean I'm stupid, doesn't mean I don't know my way around the innards of a machine. I'd just rather spend that little extra time playing with my kids.
algorithms have been worked out for sorting things and factoring primes using quantum techniques.
Hell, I have an O(1) algorithm for factoring primes!
Factors(p) = { 1, p }.
Now if you had a quantum algorithm for figuring prime factors (or even just a wheelbarrow), then you'd have something. Of course, such an algorithm *DOES* exist.
The Jacquard and Babbage cards were quite a lot different from the Hollerith version
Quite right. But the OP said that punch cards were developed/invented for the 1890 census. I merely commented that *Hollerith* cards were invented for that census, and pointed to prior art.
You do a 'delete' on a single char on either the KP26 or KP29 (I forget which). Essentially it punched all 12 holes. But it caused the IBM card reader to ignore that position.
Of course, if you did that on all 80 positions, you got a lace card...

Hmmm How about Reese's Eggs&Macaroni&Cheese Cups?

I'd like to boycott mp3.com, but that's the only place I can send people to get the CDs from brother-in-law's band.
Remember, though Patel has also shown that she *DOES* have a clue on occasion. She ruled that code was speech in Bernstein v. DOJ.
No, it's Insecure Exploder.

and was a perfect counter-balance to whomever was flying the plane (engine on one side, pilot on the other).
Except that they used two engines, counter-rotating to negate gyro effects, and the pilot was between them.
The correct answer is, "Why the F*CK not???".

That is the most frightening "prayer" I could think of having kids say...
"Oh, I might die in my sleep tonight? I don't think I'm going to sleep tonight, Daddy!"
Besides, FTL is invented in 2063 by Zefram Cochrane! Of course, the Borg try to stop him...
increase mass
Travel near the speed of light.
increase energy
See previous item and the mass/energy equivalence
travel faster than light
Not theoretically impossible. Travelling exactly at c is the problem
Hell, according to my spam, my computer could get a PhD from a prestigious non-accredited institution today! I bet that's how the AI gets his!
No, that would be "what kind of angel". He has it right.

they had used hotglue on the IDE cables right where they go into the drives.

Are you certain about that?
Most of it revolved around some sort bizarre Ice Capades show starring "The Child of Light."
I didn't know that Belgarion could ice skate!!!
With the size of cameras these days, it would be possible to hid them in coats, bags, etc
And you'd get arrested and thrown in jail for being a "terrorist" because you've obviously got those hidden cameras to test security.
