Well, it's a crime of the character, certainly. Why not have virtual law enforcement track him down and put his character in jail for a certain amount of playing time hours? Or, since it's a fantasy setting, cut off his hands?
Oh, wait.. who would want to play a cop in a game that follows real-world values? The cops would be un-equipped, outnumbered, and bound by laws to use deadly force only when necessary. Hah.
$500.00 maximum lifetime credit for us working schlubs. And that's only if you spend $5,000.00 or more (as it's 10% of the cost of your home upgrade).
And if I could afford to buy one of those overpriced hybrids that no mechanic but the dealer can work on (So I hear), I could get $1,700 or $3,000 tax credit!
Unless, of course, I have to pay the AMT.
Meanwhile, the oil and gas companies get billions for "developing new technology", with little to no oversight that I can see. How unexpected.
But that was my original point of this thread -- was there a study to measure the "increased levels" of coal? Or if switching from refining oil to refining ethanol, is there that much of a difference?
The coal's gotta be burned anyway to refine something. My question is is the decrease in emissions from burning ethanol worth an increase in the pollution from any additional coal?
Over half of our country's electricity comes from coal
Not exactly a clean source of energy.
When I read this, I thought of one thing too... I understand that the US doesn't refine most of it's own oil as it is, but isn't the energy being generated by coal anyway? What I'm thinking is:
Coal burned to make energy to refine oil that is then burned = 2 polluters.
Coal burned to make energy to distill ethanol that is burned = 1 polluter.
I wonder what the net output of pollution vs. the net output of energy is. Anyone know of a study on that?
It does, but only on about a third of the problems. The rest can (usually) be cleaned by a special cleaning solution that Epson has, but only is available to certified Epson technicians.
Unfortunately, by the time your friendly neighborhood Epson certified tech gets done with it, you've got 75$ worth of shop time into it. It's usually far more cost effective to replace the printer if you can't get the heads cleaned yourself with the cotton swab/alcohol trick.
How is this "inventing" a new way to print? Hasn't Epson been doing this for years in their printers?
I know when I replace my printer cartridge on my Epson I just replace the ink, unlike the old HP I used to have where I replaced the head every time.
Of course, this might be a new thing for HP to sell new printers, as when the ink dries in the head the whole printer has to be replaced. One of the downsides that we've always had to deal with in an Epson.
Why does it matter? All they care about it moving the arm in that case. It's not that the "filtered" signals are being blocked from the body, and just getting lost. The article states that the monkey tried using his regular arms for a while until he realized that the new arm worked when he tried as well.
But, while I'm sure that if any harm came to the monkey in the end that animal rights groups would be all over them, I'd like to hear about follow up once the monkey was disconnected from the machine. Do his arms work normally? I doubt the probes have any lasting damage, since they are pretty small and don't penetrate the brain enough to destroy parts of the brain. Think of them as more... fitting "between" the cells, though I'm sure this analogy doesn't do it justice, and is not technically accurate.
Well, I would have to wonder what part of the shellfish one is allergic to.
I know for me it's the content of some of them. I can eat shrimp, if they've been well cleaned. Crab and lobster I've never had problems with. I can't eat scallops without swelling and slight difficulty breathing.
Since they are only using a small component of the shrimp in the bandage, I wonder if that's the common part that most are allergic to.
I wonder why the doctors want to remove the titanium later? I mean, if it's already part of the bone structure, why go through all the problem of removing it? Unless it's horribly disfiguring or something. Otherwise, Titanium is pretty inert and just would make him have a hard-to-break jaw. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding the article?
Really? That includes the parts that extend down near Turkey and the former Soviet republics?
Down there in the middle east?
Doesn't look that cold to me, but maybe that's because I came from Alaska.;)
That I can keep a case of them in my garage, pull one out, and drink it cold, without taking up any of my refrigerator space, or keep paying electricity to keep it cold until I want one.

With the way Fox plays the new ones, that could be a long, long time...

Well, just a thought, anyway.

Ok, I'll elaborate.
It doesn't pollute nearly as much as oil, IIRC.
Plus, it stems the tide of money that we are sending to the terrorists to fund their war against us.

I have to wonder if this also applies to the Adobe Acrobat format...?
Seems as though most governments have picked this one up, after all.

Bah, those of us from Alaska wear shorts all the time down here in the "warmer states".
Oh man, been a long time since I heard a reference to Paranoia.
Good work.
Halo has no single player? That's news to me. Guess I got a buggy copy with a whole single-player campaign accidentally included.

Actually, Cayenne pepper is a great antiseptic and helps clot wounds pretty well too.
No, it doesn't sting like salt.

Yeah, I think he converted the wrong way or something... I mean, 30 is 2 degrees below freezing, and freezing at celsius is 0 degrees...
Wow, you modded my dumb joke all the way down to flamebait. Now I'm hurt.

In mother Russia, Can chills YOU! Hmm...
Absolutely! Right after Google's moonbase is built...
Very useful for those multimedia/movie playing home-built Tivo type machines.
But maybe that's just me.
Well, by force, I meant that. If it impairs my daily activity in any way, shape, or form, that's forcing me to listen it.
