Us Chavez a tyrant? From all I've heard, he's a populist, which is pretty much the antithesis of tyranny (ruling by getting popular support vs. ruling by crushing all opposition). Merely being socialist doesn't make him a tyrant, in fact socialism is a good thing that's practiced by most of Europe, for example.
Me, I'm not prepared to stand up for the two hours it takes to get from London to Berlin. Especially not while holding a kid in my arms the whole time.
I can stand for two hours easily, and I don't have any kids. What's your point? That Harness Airlines wouldn't be ideal for everyone?
Then it was standing room only, no seats, with harnesses to hold you in place.
That could actually work and be safe and reasonably comfortable. We already use something like this in high-G rollercoasters in amusements parks, right?
I do not think it is ridiculous to suggest the advance of modern technology has made co-pilots possibly unnecessarily redundant.
Co-pilots are there to handle things in case the pilot gets sick or something. If modern technology has made co-pilots unncesessary, it has made pilots unnecessary, period. If it hasn't made pilots redundant, then it has not made co-pilots redundant, either.
Anyway, I think this is a really, really, really stupid idea. You are saving the $10,000-$100,000/year pilot salary and risking the $50-$150 million plane. Even from a corporate sociopath perspective, this is a really dumb idea.
Personally, I would not give them "snacks," as that will make them fat.
Carrots don't make you fat, keep you from feeling hunger since they're full of fiber, give your teeth something non-sugary to work on, taste good and fresh, have a firm structure that doesn't spill juice when broken and are good for your eyes due to their beta-carotene content. In short, they're pretty much the ideal snack for any IT worker, or really anyone.
we need more research to tell if this is first or not.
But rest assured, creationists/ID proponents don't need any more research to declare this as proof that carbon dating is incorrect. Which, shockingly enough, might actually be true, since the strength of fundamental forces define the rate of radioactive decay, and which nuclei are stable in the first place.
Either way, I predict that Fundies Say the Darndest Things will have a flood of new Whiskey Tango Foxtrot -forthy quotes in short order.
BTW. Your comment is not the first. According to the HTML, it's 33,484,140th. So there:p
Nitpick: in real world, you don't close your other eye when aiming. Doing so distorts your eyeball, which makes you less accurate. You keep them both open, and simply deal with the fact that the sight is only visible in one of them.
I suppose magnifying scopes might be different, but that's not really relevant to your typical 3D FPS game;).
For a more realistic 3D experience the display would have to follow your eyes, and see what you focus on.
In games this is not a problem, since everything is in focus anyway, unless the engine goes out of its way to defocus. In a movie, the only real fix is to also have everything in focus - impossible with a lens, methinks - or use an optical phased array for both recording and playback; in other words, a hologram that would let you focus on what you will.
I remember the first time I played Duke Nukem and Prince of Persia. There were amazing games. The graphics of PoP, the immersion of DN, they were great. I am sure that some said it was just a fad and we would be back to Pac Man and Trade Wars, but fortunately we never did.
I get the feeling you're not talking about the remakes, greybeard:).
So, are we going to get Pac-Man 3D: The Pill Quest anytime soon ?-)
After a while you do get used to it, but it is definitely a huge gameplay issue that will keep 3D gaming in the gimmicky realm unless a game is designed to address it, either by having no interface or having an in-the-world interface, like Dead Space for instance.
I'd love to hear about how Castro hates the internet and considers it to be a series of tubes filled with lies. But using it to keep track of the news in detail across the globe? That's something that many people his age simply cannot or will not do. Stupid facts messing with my preconceptions again...
If Castro was stupid or unable to adapt he'd never been able to take power, much less keep it against constant attempts of the US to oust him. Most people his age are not former victorious guerillas.
See that is the part of the story that doesn't hold water, and its why I think the military may have more knowledge of this than the naive attention seeking critics.
This worm would be a really poor way to spread an intrusion, because of the need for human assistance to get started, and because it is essentially harmless and low risk and easily detected by anti-virus software both then and now.
Someone brought an infected USB stick from home. I'm sorry, but that's the most likely scenario, and certainly far more likely than someone wastes an agent who's managed to get access to military network in a completely pointless attack.
In all likelihood this wasn't an attack, unless your count attacks of stupidity, and those are just as common with military as they are with any other group.
Australia, California, Chile, Algeria all make very good wines. They just aren't Burgundy, or Champagne. Would you expect a "Scotch Whisky" to come from Polland? Obviously no. It doesn't preclude Japanese to make great Single Malt Whiskies.
The problem with this argument is that more people associate Scotland with a geographic location than whisky, while more people associate Champagne with a type of wine than a geographic location. The very fact that you felt the need to qualify "Scotch" with "Whisky" is evidence for this; people don't order "Champagne Sparkly Wine", they order "Champagne".
If the intention was make it clear what's in the bottle, you would simply mark both the style of wine and its location of origin in the bottle and be done with it. But of course, if you did that, people might compare "Champagne from Champagne" with "Champagne from California" and decide that the difference in tase (if any) is not worth the difference in cost.
But then again, what do I care? Let elitist pricks pay a premium from drinking a brand name wine if they so wish. It makes them happy, and I suppose it's better than having EU use my money to subsidy Champagne (geographic location). I continue gulping down beer and ketchup sauce:).
That's absurd, considering the large portion of the population that things it's red wine with red meat and white wine with white meat, you'll have to forgive me for being somewhat skeptical.
Yeah. It's beer with food and vodka otherwise. Why would anyone want to gulp down rotten fruit juice?
Maybe I'm strange among/.ers, since I don't feel any compelling need to buy the latest shiny toys, but I've given the whole "HD" thing a miss for now. I really should set up a MythTV or something so I could watch HD without the DRM, but lacking the energy for that I'm perfectly content to watch normal DVDs for a while longer.
Do you know what the funniest part is? The Pirate Bay is full of HD rips. And the DRM makes them a more attractive choice than the Blu-Ray discs or HD cable, thus achieving the exact opposite of its intended effect.
Believing in String theory is a bit like searching for the Aether in 1900, or assuming the correctness of math before Godel (who proved math is not consistent, whoops)
Actually, Godel proved that maths is either not consistent or not complete. It's still correct, there's simply theorems that are true but can't be proven so.
We're just as a part of nature as bees and lemon trees, so why is stuff we made suddenly unnatural?
Mainly because our minds can invent new things faster than our bodies can adapt to them, thus something invented by us is more likely to cause serious trouble for our metabolism than something that bees or trees invented millions of years ago.
I've heard the pain Statoil went through due to some leaks at Statfjord... A couple of hundred gallons of oil, and it was a major investigation on how such an accident could take place!
Well, it's a government-owned company. Of course it's going to be inefficient by actually giving a shit.
This might be coincidence, but I would look very closely at both events for evidence of terrorist activities(Environmental, Islamic, or perhaps some sort of alliance)

Slashdot Mirror
Pirate Bay is up and works. It's slow, so either there's been some damage or it's slashdotted.
Was that really too hard to check, Slashditors?
Maybe there's a psychologist with mod points reading Slashdot?

Your problem is confusing ability and character.

Everything that decomposes also burns. Your shit is flammable.
You did know both your body and bacteria get their energy by burning things, right?
Sandpaper has been invented, you know.
