Granite weighs only about 2.9 tons a cubic meter. So if the thing has a density similar to granite, the kinetic energy would be reduced from the your original estimate.
Farming is high tech. GPS systems are available for combines, tractors and crop dusters. They are able to map the fields and apply different amounts of chemicals where the need is different. I have seen (pictures and information about) a linux powered weed spray application system that uses leaf recognition to spray the chemical only where needed. Saves money and the environment. As farmers deal with more and more information they need ways to share it. Perhaps, in the future, they could download improved leaf recognition programs, and instantly upgrade the sprayer. Sneaker-net is a bummer from desk to desk, but it becomes more inefficient as the distance increases.
Oh. I also run an aircraft repair shop in the middle of a wheat field, and I have been using wireless internet at $49 / month for 2 years. It was such a vast improvement over dialup out here, it was like going from black and white to color.
My old e-machine (e400i i think) is a great linux machine. It was the first linux machine I got everything working on. (Sound, Video, Lan) But, then, it was the first machine I installed linux on. So it would make sense that it was the first I got everything working on. It is, in fact, still the only linux machine I can play tux racer on. Because my other computers lack support for OpenGL (or I haven't taken the time to figure out how to get OpenGL set up)
There are better prices on ebay.
I was sure no-one on the microsoft patent team was aware of the fact that patents are not supposed to be awarded on something that has sufficient 'prior art'. If they know this then why.... oh, nevermind.
To top it off, Epson added an image sensor unit that can capture and transmit aerial images via a Bluetooth wireless connection to a monitor on land, and they also devised two LED lamps that can be controlled as a means of signaling...
A little rant feels good in the morning, and NO, you are wrong, the joke is still on the moderators, who gave the grandparent an insightful. The joke is on me if there is something insightful there and I missed it. If that is the case, please explain the insight to me and I will laugh at myself. Else, I will continue to laugh at the moderators.
this lame joke where the author pretends he doesn't know that there are planes commonly called private aircraft and planes that are commonly called commercial aircraft is insightful ?
If he would have made a joke similar to ...there is no privacy on airplanes anymore, didn't you RTFA that might have been funny, but certainly not insightful
The aircraft that are commonly called private aircraft, are the aircraft that are operating solely under FAR part 91
It's +4 informative now, and when you repl
ied to it yourself it was +5 informative. So your reply should be -1 off topic which does, indead, result in negative karma. (not that I keep track of karma or anything)
Six more US Universities and colleges have announced another round of tuition increases. Hope you're saving for your child's education,....even if you don't have a child yet.
**snip** very few people actually benefited from Microsoft's success **snip**
I can buy a good personal computer for $500, and I am sure the price would have never came down to this level if someone hadn't come out with a universal operating system, with ease of use, to drive consumer demand, and therefore hardware production to the high levels we see today. In 1990 I could walk into WalMart and play a game on a computer(Solitaire), having very little experience with anything other than BASIC on a TRS80 before hand. I naturally assumed if I could play a game on it, I could probably use it to keep books, so I bought one. Now we have 16. I work in an industry (personal aviation) where low production levels of parts make everything cost >10x what it ought to (example, plain spark plug $20, fancy spark plug $50 each) The computer industry is spoiled with the low cost of high volume hardware, and they don't even notice. Microsoft's success benefited me. Of course, it would have been some company, it just turned out to be Microsoft.

I can think of a few people I will be glad to recieve this e-mail from.

.. apparently 'the new version of the game will be illustrated by Rod Lord.
He will have trouble topping the original illustrations...
You got me there.
Anonymous Coward = Right
CmdrTostado = Wrong
He = Zaentz = the guy who sued Forgerty
He lost = Zaentz lost = Forgerty won
Forgerty won the lawsuit.
And update the wikipedia, too.

From the article...

...you guys are democrats. I knew something didn't look right here. I must have taken a wrong turn in albequerky.
Um... er,.. post number 9,999,999 is... a.. little more.... wordy! than 10,000,001.

which is more accurate,
a) history from the future
b) history of the past
should have taken the airline, they haven't burned gasoline since the DC3.

**snip** Kansas. *hmm err hmm* Done **snip**
Hey, we have 2 outside Kansas City, and a few on our side of the river in Kansas City, that are available right here in "good old Kansas". Entering that data could easily take several seconds.
Six more US Universities and colleges have announced another round of tuition increases. Hope you're saving for your child's education, ....even if you don't have a child yet.

Have a look at the botton of the screenshot
clever...you found "(c) 2001-2003 Send-Safe.com"
of course you could also look at the logo on the top of the screen shot, or the title bar of the screen shot....
