Times Beach was contaminated by dioxin laced waste oil, which was common to spread on dirt and gravel roads to cut down dust. When it flooded the area, the oil was washed all over everything. At the time, nothing was known of dioxin.
The entire four corners area (Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas) has hundreds of zinc & lead mines. For over 200 years, those mines were the backbone of the area. We call that area of Missouri the "armpit" because of all the contamination.
Go back and listen to the audio. (unless they made this part up for you tin-foil hat types)
After burnout, they separated, and ignited a "tumble motor" to send both parts off on another direction so they wouldn't bump into each other.
The rocket motor was the important part, and was recovered. The "mass simulator", the upper section was not recovered and was expendable.
I never had any problems with Vista, but my laptop was "modern" at the time.
I didn't even think of installing it on my home computer, because it (at the time) was 5 years old
When 7 came out, I built a new home box (quad core) and 7 installed just fine. As for my now
5 year old dual core laptop? 7 installed perfectly, no issues.
The libertarian side of me gets really worried when the government gets involved in anything that says "neutrality"
I'm sorry, but freedom of speech is freedom of speech...PERIOD!
Do I like about 75% of the garbage on TV, radio or the internet? Hell no! But, I always side on freedom. No one is
FORCING me to watch or listen to something I do not want to hear or see. When government gets involved, it usually
screws everything up. Truer words were never spoken when someone said the scariest thing every said was...
"I'm from the government, and I'm here to help".
I don't want ANY regulation on speech, though, or expression. That includes the KKK, pro-gay, pro-abortion, anti-abortion,
pro-religion, anti-religion or anything else.
If you don't like it, don't watch, read or listen to it.
If the entire world stopped listening to music, and or buying it, it would take about 10 minutes for the radio stations, recording labels
RIAA etc to come crying back to us to buy/listen to music.
The RIAA et al, are nothing but blood suckers, trying to hold onto an outdated business model.
Anyone dumb enough to hook one of these gateway boxes or "cable modems" directly into their computer is just asking for trouble.
As you say...plugging it into a router is the ONLY safe way to connect them. Even my dad's computer, who doesn't need anything
but a connection, is connected to a router though his gateway DSL box.
I quit using am/pm YEARS ago, it's stupid and pointless. As for the day/month/year thing, I think it goes back to the silly "we've always done it that way" mentality.
I put 7 beta on my Dell E1505 laptop when it came out.
Problems ZERO
I wiped it, put RC1 on the same laptop when it came out.
Problems ZERO
I put the release version on the same laptop about a month ago
Problems ZERO. (I'll be at the store on Oct 22 to buy it).
XP, when I installed it, had issues that were not resolved with bluetooth and wi-fi until SP1)
XP, I loved you, but, it is time to give you up.
Win7 installed, found 100% of my hardware and has had absolutely NO problems.
I just built a new home computer, to replace my 6 year old P4 HT processor.
The new box is a Intel Quad core 2.66ghz, 4 gig ram, 500GB hard drive & an Nvidia 9800GT
video card. Win7 found 100% of everything and set it all up perfectly. After I got everything
set up, installed AV etc, the first time I connected it to the net, it found "updated driver" for
the chipset, sound & video card, installed them all perfectly. The only mod I made was to
install the new Nvidia video card driver. It even found my Hauppage TV tuner and set it up
PERFECTLY.
Win7 is a BIG improvement over XP. XP was a BIG improvement over windows 3.11
Works fine on my box, but, the Q8400 CPU is listed as "VT" approved.
I installed it and it's really slick how it works, and funny seeing windows XP in a window
The demise of the print newspaper has a few causes.
1. We live in a 24/7 news cycle, with 24 hour news on tv, cellphones etc.
2. By the time a newspaper is printed & delivered, the "news" isn't new anymore.
3. Most print newspapers have journalist with a very liberal slant, and people don't want that anymore, witness the success of Fox News and online bloggers.
4. You could learn VOLUMES by the stuff they DON'T put in a newspaper.
Anyone who buys into the whole "man made" global warming is a NUT, pure and simple. The OUTPUT from the sun increased (with the sunspot CYCLE) and caused the earth to warm. We are now in a solar minimum, which explains the (northern hemisphere) lack of summer we had this year. Not to mention the retreating ice sheet has uncovered things like lost villages, mining camps etc. Now, if hundreds of thousands of years ago, there were places humans existed, then it wouldn't take a genius to figure out it was WARMER then. You tree hugging hand wringing anti anything humans do should just go sit in a cave somewhere and leave the rest of us the hell alone.
Agreed! This is ALL apples fault for ONLY "allowing" at&t to sell it. I've heard on hacking boards where people jail break their iPhones to work on other networks, and the data speed is a LOT faster. If apple would get its head out of its butt and and allow any carrier to sell the iPhone, then perhaps the
deathstar would upgrade their stupid network. I have an HTC Touch Pro, and I've benchmarked at&t's speed at different times of the day. During "business"
hours, it slows to a crawl. Early morning (5-6am) it's not to bad, but, after 8am, it starts to slow to a crawl. If it wasn't for wi-fi hotspots, I wouldn't even
bother.
Hey! What an idea! They could cure the health care problem in one single trip! (sarcasm)
This is dumb....."when the pilgrims left for the new world, they knew it was a one way trip"
Well, it's a little different when Mars has NO AIR, NO WATER, NO FOOD.
EXACTLY! IBM and other companies see the writing on the wall. Hussein Obama is a Marxist/Socialist and will stop at nothing
to "redistribute" the wealth from "those that stole it" to "those that deserve it". What company would want to do business
in America, when any profits they make are stolen. We have almost 40% of the people out there that for whatever reason, would rather sit on their butt and let the government "take care of them" instead of getting off their butts and taking responsibility for
themselves. We have complainers, lazy butts, and those that think anything that happened to them is someone else's fault.
It's a good thing the lax attitude of the average slob American wasn't around from 1941 to 1945 or we'd be speaking Japanese or
German!
Socialism will fail, as it has everywhere else when they run out of other peoples money to give away.
Which is why we use to SCREEN everyone entering the USA. To keep out sick and people with disease.
Thanks to the crybaby libtards, those days are over.
If this computer system has access to the NCIC system, INTERPOL, or NLETS, then the sheriff SHOULD be
the one in charge of it, not the CIVILIAN board of supervisors. Trust me, if NCIC does an audit and your T's aren't
crossed and the I's not dotted, they can and will YANK your access. ANY law enforcement database should be
managed by law enforcement agencies, NOT civilians.
Story says she wants "an all white nation". That should be enough to tell you that her elevator is stuck in the basement.
I'd put her in a 96 hour Psych hold and let the doctors even out her meds!
LOL....I can see N Korea launching one of these from a plane......it will be like the
Coyote dropping the anvil from a balloon.
Geez......North Korea & Iran spending tons on crap like these, while 99% of their country
starves.
If both OS's are pretty much equal in performance, I would rather have a "new" OS, than one that has had 3 patches, and continues to be patched. Plus, you know when 7 comes out, the other hardware vendors will probably drop "new" device
drivers for XP.
That is all well and good, but, wireless customers have gotten "use" to the cell phones being "free" or 20-60 dollars, because of the contracts. I would prefer to pay a higher rate for a phone, and pick & choose the carrier to use it on.
The USA is WAY behind the rest of the world in the choice of phones they can use. If carrier locks were removed, and just about anyone could sell a phone, the price on high end phones, as well as the throw away phones would, because of competition, come down.
The carriers, for obvious reasons, like the subsidy locks, which "lock" you to a certain carrier until the contract runs out. Also, from a management standpoint, I'm sure the carriers would HATE to try to provide customer service to make sure the thousands of different phone types/styles would be compatible with their networks.
Too bad, other countries do it. The USA wireless carriers are just lazy. Look at at&t's 3G network. Not enough bandwith to support the people signing up for the iPhone and other high end phones, to use the 3G network, are reduced to "dial up" speed because of overselling the network.
That said a small leak in the solid rocket motor O-ring seals wasn't anything to be alarmed about.
The same NASA that said we've seen foam strikes on the shuttle for years without any problems, so don't worry about it.
NASA has a problem, too many politicians control nasa instead of "missile men".
Nice to see someone was paying attention when they talked about standing wave ratio.
People just don't understand that you just can't run a cable from one end of the country to the
other without a problem.

I've been running leaked builds of 6.5 from XDA-Developers and the last 5-6 builds have been great. Boots faster than 6.1 and is a lot more stable.
Stop over charging for your software, and perhaps more people would buy it instead of pirating it.
