At that point, when you receive the email, your legal situation has somehow changed. If you don't answer, you haven't forgotten your paperwork, you are actively withholding tax payments and right into criminal territory.
They have to contact you with a medium that lets them prove you got the letter, like one of those certified letters. Otherwise, you can just say you didn't get the mail, cat walked over the keyboard and deleted it, etc.
You could make a single-pixel, b&w camera by putting a very sensitive fluorescent screen between the lens and the mirrors. Expose the screen for your speed, then scan the screen (compensating for fading) with the mirrors.
No. It's been proven that spheres are the best shapes for travelling down tubes, so IBM packaged their data into little balls, in order to travel down the internet tubes as fast as possible.
Actually, a disc would be better. If embedded in some liquid, data discs would prove much less viscous than data spheres.
So Brazil is in the Americas, and in South America, but not in America.
That's what I said. Unless you disagree in that the Americas are a continent rather than many. Since that discussion has been proven futile in slashdot, may I suggest we discuss something else, like the gender of angels or whether the Gioconda should be displayed in Italy?
Serious electric storage is kind of pointless, as is hydrogen. Hydrogen and stored electricity are both a pain in the ass to deal with, and both generated via coal-fired power plants.
How about, instead of a battery, a reversible fuel cell. That way you can charge it with the on-board generator, and/or have a station at home generating hydrogen. Maybe add a small battery buffer. Dealing with hydrogen should be as easy as dealing with compressed natural gas, and we've already got CNG cars figured out.
For your information, Brazil is in America, more precisely in South America.
As much as I disagree with the racist asshole, I think he's right about America. Although Americo Vespucio named the continent America (in spanish), the custom in English is to call the continent "the Americas" and the country "America". It's just a convention.
Choosing PIC for your first uC is like making a life-time commitment in childhood, such as priesthood or professional musician career.
If you do, later you won't want to (maybe even couldn't) use any other uC architecture.
If you don't, later you won't want to (maybe even couldn't) use PIC architecture.
Actually, I started with PICs and I'm beginning to tinker with 8051s. I was ZOMFG with the 8051 when I read you had access to the data and address bus, a uart (unlike low-end pics, where you have to bit-bang serial transfers), etc.
Because Counter-Strike is the 'latest video game'.
Well, it never gets old. I (and my friends) could have fun playing an old version of counterstrike. It doesn't take graphics or a story, just relatively good maps and a fast game pace (like quake)
hese computers are cheaper than a big stack of textbooks, though.>/blockquote>Between sharing books, buying them used and selling them at the end of the year, you could easily go through school spending less than 100-150$.
Life can hop planets due to impacts and take advantage of the best place at a given time. 4 billion years ago Mars may have been nicer to life than Earth.
There's a problem with this theory: although there are life forms which can take the extreme cold and vacuum of space, and those who can take the mild temperature and pressure of Earth/Mars, it's very difficult for one to be able to withstand both conditions.
Um, if something happened that would cause the US to be shut off from foriegn food supplies, my guess is oil would go hand in hand. In that case, it wouldn't matter how much food was grown domestically before the incident, there simply would not be enough energy to produce and distribute food for any significant length of time.
That's why the US doesn't use its local oil reserves but rather imports its oil.
Lastly, if the water pump dies, everything else will die. Make sure you have some sort of kill switch so all your hardware shuts down if you lose water flow.
Would it be possible to design a system so that, if the pump dies, water still circulates through thermosyphon effect?
When I played GTA San Andreas I remember thinking to myself, "This isn't the kind of game I'd want my kids playing." For me, it hit a little bit too close home. Having grown up in Long Beach, and seen gang life first hand, the game was uncomfortably realistic.
Try playing it with the funny mask (the one with glasses and a moustache) all the time. It makes you more conscious it's a game.
The laws of today may not be, but what about the laws of tomorrow?
It's not the laws that aren't retroactive. Laws just say what you can and can't do. How you apply them is in the constitution. The constitution says you can't enforce laws retroactively. In order to do that, you'd have to change the constitution.
You can't be tried for a law that doesn't exist. IANAL, but if it wasn't against the law when you did it, you can't be arrested for it. Ignorance of the law is one thing, but ignorance of a non-existant law is quite another
You're right, laws can't be applied with retroactivity. It's like arresting anyone who ever owned a gun because they just passed a law banning guns.

Not really godwinned, it was meta-godwinned. It invoked a threat of referring to nazis.
I'm saying they would probably die in transit
