I dunno about you, but eating while a girl is waving her vagina in my face makes me think of eating a girl out. Whilst entertaining, it's not exactly something that ranks way up there on the taste-bud meter. Hence it sort of spoils the taste of food. Usually I stick to liquid diets at the strippers. There's always a chance it won't stay down by the end of the night anyways, so why pay for food?;)
For a north american home? Black is hot, white's neutral, and green (or bare, duh) is ground.
I'm quite sure of this, as I gave myself a good little (accidental) zap a few weeks ago when wiring up a bathroom fan. One-hand untwisted the black leads on the old fan and accidentally touched the side of the box. Yessir, nothin' like a little 110 to make you feel like someone just slammed your arm in a door...
Except the positive lead to the starter is only live when you're starting the car. Siphoning enough current off it in four or five seconds to run a GPS unit for a couple of hours would cause problems, especially in older vehicles and/or cold climates.
Personally i'd probably go for the fuel pump power supply, although newer direct-inject vehicles with an HPFP may be more sensitive to voltage drop
Better yet, any accessible line to a tail lamp (esp. the license plate bulbs) would be most excellent.
... Is this the same Gorilla Glass that's in my Cowon S9? Because I *sat* on it once (oops) and it broke the AMOLED screen (cry) but not the gorilla glass on top. I've seen the videos of someone attacking it with forks and coins and stuff too. That shit is seriously tough. So did Apple buy the generic brand of it or what? How the hell are people cracking it without destroying the rest of the damn phone?
Not always true. The Cat 979B is all mechanical drive, and it's one of the worlds largest earth-movers. Unfortunately I couldn't find what kind of torque it produces, but with 3000+ hp i'm guessing it's a hell of a lot.
They mention it in one of the videos, but basically e-voting would be excellent for US citizens abroad, specifically those deployed in the military.
One would also hope that, if internet voting were to ever be successful, there would be a substantial increase in voter turnout. Imagine casting your vote from a candidates Facebook page, for instance.
In any case, teh intertubes is far too cluttered with evil things that go bump in the night for this to be a sane idea in 2010.
Must be a new system, because when my CC was skimmed last year in Vegas it took them a week (and about $3000 in purchases) for them to figure out that it was stolen - despite the fact that charges were being made in two different countries on the exact same day. Visa must think I regularly take 8 hour flights to and from Vegas to buy gas, groceries and shop at Best Buy.:\
When I worked as a mechanic I once saw a crankshaft pully come off at speed. My co-worker was replacing a timing belt on an older for Escort and had a bit of trouble getting it lined up properly. When he figured it out he got all excited and hopped in the car without actually bothering to bolt the pully to the crank... so when he fired it up, and it worked, he got all excited and revved the engine a few times. This sped up the inevitable march of the pully down the end of the crank, where it ran out of room and fell off while doing about 4000rpm. It bounced twice in a shower of sparks, and the third time it "hooked up" and shot across the floor of the garage like a rocket. Needless to say, the engine died and the pully was now in more than one piece, as was the bit of wall it smashed into. My co-worker was devastated, but the rest of us were in stitches.:)
Wire a toggle switch to your fuel pump +12v wire and hide it somewhere in the cabin. Preferably not any place it will be bumped/kicked/elbowed. Then get in the habit of switching it off when you get out. Next time some moron tries to jack your ride, all they'll be able to do is kill the battery.
Goddamn, I skimmed the headline in my RSS feed and saw "Developers Fork Mandriva Linux, Creating Mangina." I really need to cut back on the caffeine.:\
Please tell us your version of the G20 summit. All I heard was that a bunch of protesters were sitting our doing there thing when a tiny percentage of them went anarchist and started burning and smashing everything in sight. Then the police stepped in with an iron boot and arrested a few hundred. No?
IANAL, but English law countries (like Canada) typically have a "loser pays" system. So if the RCMP lose in this case, they pony up for the guy's legal costs. If the guy loses, I think the judge can award some/all of the RCMP's legal fees as part of his punishment, but i'm not 100% on that because it a criminal case (eg: The country is suing the individual). In a private vs private case it would almost always be "loser pays."
A professor brings a new and amazing device to school to show to his students: The Science students ask: How does it work? The Engineering students ask: How is it made? The Business students ask: How can we market it? And the Arts students ask: Do you want fries with that?
The best part is, it's usually the Arts students who laugh the hardest at it. Some of them laugh so hard they start crying. I think.
Hitler's propaganda was written for the express purpose of harming the Jewish people. That is what defines it as propaganda - persuasion of some set of facts (real or imagined) about Jews. Historical fact is not normally considered propaganda because it typically does not contain a persuasive argument. This is a case of "all propaganda is information but not all information is propaganda".
Now one can argue endlessly about what constitutes propaganda and what doesn't, but generally those arguments slip into absurdity where anything a person has ever read or heard can be classified as "propaganda" because it invariably contains some degree of presenter bias.
At the end of the day, Canadian schooling has a strong focus on Canadian content not only because it is the global norm to learn about where you live, but particularly because we Canadians live in the worlds largest cultural shadow. If we didn't attempt to protect our own identity (through history, etc) then we would find ourselves very quickly slipping into the enormous cultural pull of the USA. Some may argue that has already happened, but the point of past and current efforts is to reduce or reverse that trend, not to breed a nation of brainwashed zombies nourished on propaganda and lies. At least, that is my opinion. YMMV.

Same thing that happened to our razor blades.
Here you go: .????

I really need to mark my breaker box. :(
Unless you own a PS3.
This is like how purple is a flavour, yes?

Chill the fuck out. I read your entire comment.
My point was, why should your phone do something that your car should do (or already does do)?
You mean, like OnStar?
Like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8As1zshWxn0 :D
Does this mean when Wesly Snipes gets out of jail, we have to freeze and then thaw out Sylvester Stalone?

Do you type laying down?
You must, because that *Whoosh* was about six inches off the ground and it still went over your head.

I think his point was that pre-alpha-release != launch.
Volunteer construction? Yeah, there's an app^h^h^h organization for that.

Reminds me of a joke a friend told me.
