Basically it is a car with no fuel and a self recharging battery and runs on a hydraulic pump system. They are getting a patent for it now, so they are trying to keep the details to a minimum. But they say from the fly wheel back the car is unchanged.
Somebody showed me a move the other day where if somebody has a grip on your wrist or hand you completely relax the whole arm and take your free index and middle finger and rub it gently across the back of his hand on time. Immediately pull out of his grip after that. Remember you have to be totally relaxed as you do it until you try and get out of the grip.
The move is 'tricking' his mind into relaxing a little. He won't completely remove the grip but it should provide an opportunity to escape.
CNN actually ran a similar story. They had their staff Dr. (Sanjay Guoptra? sp?) using one of these. He said it was very stressful and really put him back emotionally to when he was embedded with a unit, but as stressful as it was he was in an environment where he could deal with it. I found it to be an interesting story.
Interesting.... I didn't realize that. I did find the foxyproxy extension that will route your dns lookups through the socks proxy. I entered the computer name for my linux box at home into the address bar and it pulled up the page on the webserver on that box.
I use a SOCKS proxy using my computer at home and putty. It involves leaving your computer on at all time, which I normally do anyways. But if I am behind a restrictive firewall I connect using putty, which dynamically forward port 1080 to my linux box and then set firefox to use a SOCKS proxy at 127.0.0.1:1080 . It's just encrypted data after that and the firewalls cannot see the traffic.
My father has a Neilson's box and it uploads to Neilson automatically. I believe he was told that it polls what is being watched every 5 minutes or so and then at some point, early in the morning, the Neilson box will phone home and report the viewing habits.
The installer told him that anything on the screen gets reported. I believe he told my dad that he represented 35,000 tv viewers.
Many farmers do know this, but the difficult problem is keeping the cattle from creating these conditions. A cow, if it had the choice of a place to lay down between a dry, grassy area in the sun or a wet, muddy place under a tree will choose the tree. Not neccessarily because of the shade, but also the mud is more comfortable to lay down in.
If you have limited land to put the cattle, you have to fight them creating muddy areas in the shade. If you have several cows laying in the shady parts of the land, it will get muddy there. Dairy farmers realize that cattle that sleep in the mud have a greater chance of getting mastitase (sp?).
No, but I imagine he would have a say in the software they use. I would say his concern is more than just a personal preference concern. If the new software is not compatible with linux then it sounds like there would be a mass move to Windows which would be costly and time consuming, I'm sure.
I'm color blind (red/green) and I can see the word 'see'. Is that the hidden word they put in there to throw off the color blind or is that what you're supposed to see? It doesn't shine out at me, though....
I was going to suggest something similar, but just do a fake phone call. One of my first interviews when I was going for PC tech spots the interviewer pretended to be a caller and his monitor did not work. I had to guide him 'over the phone' to get the monitor to work. I had to describe things like what the cable ends looked like to him and also demonstrate a knowlege of common problems with monitors. I think in this cases it was just a dead monitor.
I actually got hit once with a good email. It was a valid question to the product I was selling. I was excited about selling it because it was worth a lot of money. My excitement overcame my common sense and I logged into the phishing site. I realized I messed up when I tried to reply, but there wasn't a message from that guy in my mailbox.
I instantly changed every password that I had that used my ebay username. I changed them all within a few minutes a giving the phisher my passwords, but it made me realize how easy it is to fall for it even when you are aware it could happen. I was just excited about making the big money.
I had to fix a Lotus Notes client for a lady and asked for her password so I could do it while she was off to lunch (I think I was setting it up). She smuggly replied with "Well, what if I don't want you reading my email." I came back with "What makes you think I need your password to read your email." The look of surprise/defeat on her face was priceless as she handed over the post-it note that had her password on it.
I was about to mention Collateral as well. Micheal Mann directed both this and Heat. I was surprised how loud he made the reports from the fired weapons. Not because I thought it was too loud but because most movies never do this.
Dell did this about one or 2 years ago and I remember the first time I called them after the system was instated. Invariably, it did not work as intended. I was sharing and office with another woman and here is what she heard:
"No."
"No."
"No!"
"NNNOOOO!"
"IT DOESN"T WORK!!!"
and so on....
She thought I was ripping into some poor soul trying to help me get the parts I needed. After I explained I was yelling at a voice rec system, we both had a good laugh. I'd always anounce I was calling Dell after that so she'd know I wasn't ripping into somebody. But I still hate those voice rec systems.

They're too involved in their IPods and X-Boxes to care. Don't sit back for too long. You may be waiting around for nothing.
Yeah, I actually started using AOL for something after Yahoo did that to their TV listings. http://tvlistings.aol.com/ isn't half bad.

If you are curios as to how Saudi Arabia contributes to terrorism, try reading Sleeping with the Devil by Robert Baer. Very interesting book.

I wonder how compatible IEs4Linux would be with your current vendor?

I gathered that he was trying to say that there are vast more amounts of middle class that are doing the spending than upper class who are spending.
