the expensive toilet, along with the fabled $1000 coffee pot, etc., were all designed to withstand zero-gee emergency maneuvers inside military aircraft. i used to work for the company that built them. your standard "bemis" toilet and "mr. coffee" can't hack it under those extreme conditions.
my college psych professor once told me that the syndrome you describe is known as self-attribution. basically, the sufferer puts obstacles in his own path, so that he has an excuse to fail, or to not even try.
i am sure that submarines make a lot more noise than these gliders. the only noise the glider makes is the noise from its ballast pumps. sosus is a passive array, so it sensitivity is limited.
the only problem with hunting down enemy subs is that the glider is too slow to keep up with a modern sub. the article points out that the current design only does 1/2 mph, and the navy's latest design goes at about 5 mph (which has to be a w.a.g. because i am sure the actual figures are way classified.)
who is "ComCast"? and does "time-shift" mean fast-forward, pause and rewind? my dvr is not from comcast, and it does allow me to record, rewind, pause, etc., any show i want, not just the premium channels.
I use the new Digital Video Recorder (DVR) from Time Warner Cable in NYC. The box is made by Scientific Atlanta and works like a Tivo. The DVR does not require a telephone line, costs nine bucks a month, and does not require any up front fees. It can store 35 hours of programming, and has, from what I have been told, almost all of the same features as Tivo.
Self-installation was very simple. I took my digital cable box and remote to the cable office near my home, and traded it in for a DVR box and a specialized DVR remote. The DVR box connects to the cable and tv just like the old cable box. And the new remote is like the old one, but with the DVR features added on.
