I find that surprizing, but the problem would be the enormous weight of the thing - it would be impossible to deploy a steel cable, since it would be impractically heavy.
Just in: Congress announced a new excise tax to fund the Iraq-American war. This duty will be levied on long distance phone service and collected by the phone companies on behalf of the IRS. The amount is tentatively set at $36 per year.
Bear in mind that the sky is rather drab. Therefore it may be possible to effectively cloak an aircraft in the sky, but not necessarily a ground vehicle in front of a complex background.
They are not rebroadcasting, they are just transporting the broadcasts very slowly. As it is, the speed of light in a cable is about 2/3rd the speed of light in vacuum/air. This provides the cable companies with a precedent. All this cable company has done now, is make the speed of light much slower still. You pump a show into one end of the cable and it falls out the other end a few hours later, as opposed to a few milliseconds later...
Interesting - note that it is possible that your condition has been cured, that you really were seriously ill years ago and now isn't anymore. Contrary to common perception, an adult person's brain does grow and heal itself, it is just a much slower process than in muscular tissue for example.
I noticed that my teenage son and his friends are trading DVDs full of MP3 songs. The mind boggles at the number of songs on such a thing.
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a backpack full of DVDs...
That brings back memories of watching donkey carts deliver charged (stolen) car batteries to shanties to power their (stolen) TV sets. The electricity used to power the battery chargers was of course also stolen - run by the chap who built his shack underneath a utility pole. Microsoft has no chance to sell/rent anything in a 3rd world economy.
Yeah, but you need a 3GHz PC to be able to run Doubleclick, Avenue A, Smitfraud and 200 other pieces of crapware and still have enough cycles left to run WinXP. The result is that only a true Geek can run a sub 1GHz PC, ordinary Joes can't...
The nice thing about fusion, is that it is self extinguishing. Presently, these devices are purely experimental and don't produce much of anything. Mostly, they are just a sink for excess tax money...
Actually, with aircraft wings, it has been found that vortexes are beneficial, since it reduces the stalling speed. Consequently, many small aircraft have vortex generators (little pieces of bent metal) fitted to the wings to make takeoff and landing more efficient and safe.
"(* But I'm not bitter)" If it will make you feel better, I used to get about 10,000 of those *per hour*. The reason it topped out at 10,000, is 'cause that is as much as the machine can handle per hour. A few black lists got things under control.
Yup, the people that get ripped off are not the receivers of the spam - they delete it or ignore it. The people that get ripped off are the business owners that get duped into thinking that advertising by spam is useful - they then hand over oodles of cash to the spammer, who sends out the crap and the business owner gets zero return on his 'investment', plus a few death threats.
Hell yes, considering how MS routinely delay their releases, having proof that it is not just more vapourware is good news for all MS shareholders. At least somebody is doing his job over at the MS campus.

WestJet once offered some free flight tickets, which cost about $70, due to all the taxes and charges.

Hmm, I guess that lots of chairs will go flying...

Uhmm, not on Windoze no - it will create a feedback loop. On Linux you may be able to do something like that using some pipes and sox.

No, no, you got it all wrong - plasmaware...
No, you first have to kill lots of people, before you can win the Nobel peace prize.
Well, you could always use this age old, tried and tested patch: http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Co rel3/Products/Display&pfid=1047024307359&pid=10470 25942227
So you haven't heard of "Innocent until proven suspect"?
Hmm, lemme see now:
Viruses
Insecurities
Spam
Trojans
Adware
Sigh...
640GB should be enough for everybody... ;)
In the dark, all cats are grey...

Oh wow, he invented an RC plane, although I suppose the engine is larger than 10cc.
Well, considering that the US $ has devalued by about 50% over the last year, it is really only only $300...*Duck!*...
