Obviously, but think of the cost. How many countries have both the cash and the desire to give the US a bloody nose, and could pull it off without anyone noticing before the object is in orbit?
Many tubes are pipes, many pipes are tubes. Not all of either are both.
In plumbing terminology, tubes are small pipe or flexible pipe-like devices, usually less than 1/8" wall thickness with less than 3/4" in diameter. They are generally either welded copper or aluminum, or threaded fittings on soft pipes like clear nylon, teflon, waxen braided rope, or rubber.
Common use of 'pipes' generally just refers to big stuff. They are usually welded, thread-fitted, or flanged steel, aluminum or copper, greater than 1/8" wall thickness with an inner diameter of 3/4" or more.
Nuclear steam pipes, for example, range from 1' to 8' in diameter and are welded to rather precise specifications [1]
A generally accepted exception is that pipes cannot be flexible enough to bend 90 degrees and spring back over a length of less than 2*pi times their diameter. Tubes, on the other hand, can. (The reason for this specific distinction is that pipes MUST be flexible to a degree, but generally not flexible enough to be able to move permanent fittings. It's all in the U.S. Navy Machinist's Mate handbook if you're curious). Flexibility is not a requirement of tubes, but it is an exclusion of pipes.
A drinking straw, in plumbing terminology, is thus a tube.
Most houses are equipped with input pipes, which manifold off into many copper service tubes (if youre hose has been properly plumbed).
GP's comment about the viscosity of fluid is misinformed; he's probably a case-modding junkie, and used to seeing the cool clear plastic things that transmit his antifreeze called 'tubes'. It's the right term, but his justification is wrong.
Ok, I'm sorry about that. I know way too much about plumbing, and it's hard to start without tangent ranting.
------------------- [1] The weld must be completely whole and be ground so that the seam is flat against the pipe, so as not to allow for any weakness, or any change in the thermal characteristics of the pipe. The welding process must change the carbon content of the metal as little as possible (tolerance in the 2% range). If the weld is zinc to steel, the zinc must not be allowed to be in contact with any water, as it would degrade the beneficial effect of zincing. The zinc should be in a 'cool zone', or a zone in the system that is not heat-dependant, and the weld should not be cleaned (get the most money from your zinc - don't remove any of it).
NE's and IT Trolls use 'pipes' to describe their WAN connection. That's about as far as the analogy usually goes, as it breaks down under the simplest of devices (sure, a hub can be a manifold, but then, what's a switch? a router? How do you describe bidirectional traffic without the analogy being completely wrong (since the total bandwidth in either direction can be any size between 0 and the maximum bandwidth, so can either direction, unless you have a bandwidth-controlled service like DSL.)
Sounds like a cross-quote I heard that pretty much sums up this entire situation: "Heinlein said: 'Technology, sufficiently advanced, is indistinguishable from magic.' Similarly, comedy, sufficiently advanced, is indistinguishable from politics." - my English 103 professor.
Hm. I wonder how difficult it would be to run a campaign to simply lower the average age of the senate. I mean, yes, stupidity is kinda global, but technology in general is understood better by those who grew up with it (or, at least, have kids who grew up with it to school them in how policy should be run - remember, we're talking about the senate; these kids could be up to 30 years old and still qualify).
"Do you really expect every lawmaker to be an expert on everything?"
No, just the things they vote against their constituency, and decide they need to speak up about.
Nobody's saying this guy's done something mean. We all know he's an idiot. If we're doing quotes: "It's better to be quiet and be thought a fool, rather than open your mouth and prove them right."
There is a real possibility that his e-mail server was slowed down by the flood from the net neutrality debate (not pointing fingers; the guy's an obvious moron and should be unseated), but that's nothing to do with the size of pipes. That's all about server load (the manifold? I don't know. The pipes analogy only goes so far in the jargon).
Or, one of his interns could have been asleep at the job, changed his computer's clock and sent the e-mail backdated. Pretty standard sec4retarial practice - especially if your boss is gullible enough to swallow it.
Still, seeing a senator use straw man as justification for being an idiot is... painful.
I work at a University. I am given the task of setting up and maintaining my depeartment's webpage. I would love to be using ruby, personally, however, I'm stuck dealing with my school's hopelessly microsoft-addicted IT department. As such, I'm rather forced into using ASP (the VBScript variant, no less). I've argued the point of how much more superior Ruby is, how much cleaner the code would be. I've gone over the security flaws inherent in using ASP and IIS, etc. It falls on deaf ears. Even just asking for a new object to use is impossible.
So I'm stuck with what I got, and I make the best of it. If I was to ask for advice on, say, how to make a mailer for ASP, and someone told me to use something else instead, it wouldn't be helpful, as I need to know the ASP hooks for doing it, not the contents of a language superiority discussion.
Mind you, I've been on the recieving end of MANY of these discussions, mostly when I'm already locked in to something.
Ok, my point was (and it's taking some work to remember it - who argues a point two weeks later?): Most casual web developers don't have control over what interpreters their server supports; they're rather at the mercy of the ownes they're renting time and bandwidth from. As such, they have to make do with what's there. What's there is that which is ubiquitous, and unfortunately, that's PHP and Perl, anymore. Unless they want to work in ASP.
What if you use two GPS readouts, mounted on the front and back of the car. They are a known position apart, and can give the system an idea of just how inaccurate the GPS is at any given instant. Couple that with the third fixed GPS, and I don't see how you couldn't get at least to-the-inch accuracy, even if the satellite margin of error is about 4".
I mean, considering we get accurate measurements of things like atoms, that's a much bigger difference in scale.
First, get a starcraft CD. Next, find the no-CD crack, and apply it to an installed version of starcraft. Next, find the Battle.net gateway editor (so that you can add gateways and such).

You're missing the point. See, you know all this shit, which means you are in fact concerned with spiritual matters. An apathist is not. I don't CARE what other groups call themselves. I harbor great apathy when confronted with how other spritiaul beliefs work.
If you weren't here for a faith debate, you'd have shut up already.
Here's the point: If you necessarily believe in the Bible as factual work, you must necessarily believe other holy books to be false works. I don't like to be that closed minded. By using the Bible (and other holy books) as strictly alligorical references, you have the option of using any or all of them as philosphical guidelines that may be used or not. Since everything from the Torrah to the Vishnu contain extremely important ideas, I feel this to be a more balanced approach to the issue of spirituality.
In other words, if you're gonna let a number of long dead monks rule your life, you might as well let all of 'em do it.
Yeah. Previously, they called it the war on communism and the war on terrorism. Or, at theast the hard-right have tried to cast it that way for decades.
Check your inflation rates. You were making a good $4-5k more than me. Meanwhile, I do have savings, as well as a 'Spleen Explosion' fund, student loans, etc. Meanwhile, that's not the point.
The point is that God does not need your money. He's God. The church does not need your money; the church does not need to exist.
Lastly, the church absolutely does not have the right to levy a tax on its members - at least under its own rulebook.

True, but the cold war is over. Do we actually care if someone else knows how to get into space nowadays?
I gots to be the luckiest boy in the world then. Amy's both a mac nerd and a geek girl.
How about a mine control challenge/response device?
Or, if it's, say, a desolate field that was just a throughway between one place and another, you could signal them all to go off at once.

There is; it's all about size and flexibility.

Uh, the bible is a work of debatably factual prose. As such, using it as anything more than an allagorical reference is an judgement error.
