I have used Duck Tape for several things that it wasn't designed for. It functions well as a electrical tape. It functions as regular tape. It even works for holding the air ducts in the attic together.
But the best application for duct tape is replacing electrical tape in the health care role.
Here is how things happen. 1: "Dang it!" 2: "This is gonna hurt." 3: "Get me a napkin and the duct tape." 4: "I am not going to the hospital while I have a supply of Neosporin, napkins and duct tape."
Come to think of it, if you poured this stuff into a wound and held the gash together, would it stop the bleeding befor the side effects of the glue itself killed you?
Whether it is a theif staking out a location where victims are likely to have swag to steal, or a lion waiting for a weak antelope to visit a watering hole with the rest of the herd, there is a relationship between areas where prey collect in larg numbers and areas where bad stuff happens to prey.
Sure, as more people are able to afford laptops, there will be a corresponding rise in laptop thefts. However, there will be certain spots that will attract predators. If anyone was really interested in tracking thefts and armed robberies of illicit drugs, all you would have to do is go down to an area where illicit drugs were sold. The volume of crimes of that nature would be higher in that area than they would be in areas like say, a church in an affluetn area.
Cause and effect. Statistics can be made to prove ANY point, but sometimes thing s are just.......frickin' OBVIOUS.
Britannica is feeling REALLY threatened by wikipedia.
Britannica pays over 4,000 contributors and editors, and only prints a new version every couple of years. Wikipedia, has way more contributors, and publishes almost DAILY, without paying for the research.
The hype about no one being accountable for any of the information as well as the uproar about recent political attacks on certain entries are all designed to try to get people to distrust Wikipedia and embrace Britannica as the "One TrueReference."
No encyclopedia should ever be used as anything other than a quick synopsis and or reference. Britanica sniping at Wikipedia for accuracy and integrety is just really amusing.
The Bill of Rights was gutted when that airliner blew up when heading from JFK to Paris. President William Jefferson Clinton signed an anti terrorism bill that completely emasculated the fourth ammendment BEFORE the cause of the disaster was confirmed.
Your loss of rights has been going on for a long time, it's time you took a look at the past 15 years of legislation passed and WOKE UP!
Stop blaming one faction of todays government for finally showning you that YOU have no rights anymore. The assault on your civil liberties started two administrations ago.
I can think of no real reason other than research and development for this attitued. The UK would need the source in order to develope new weapons systems, and to intergrate current weapons systems onto the aircraft.
Modern fighter/bomber aircraft are extensivly intergrated. The flight controls, the radar, navigation and cockpit displays all interact with each other in order to put munitions on target.
It is more likely that the UK wants to be able to develope new munitions without having to pay the USA in order to get a new weapon online. I can also understand that the Brits might not want to buy all of their munitions from the US when they can develope and manufature their own.
It is an entirely resonable request to make. F-18s F-16s F-4s are sold throughout the world, and even built under licence by foreign governments. I don't remember hearing that any of the software associated with those programs was being denied to the end user.
As long as you have the required diplomatic connections, a production license, and an end user certificate, it becomes your airplane. There may be some bs reason about the stealth technology but that is more hardware than soft ware.
I can't help but think that this is political posturing in order to get something else

My girlfriend is a nurse, and will not wear a digital watch.
I found this out after buying her one when her old watch broke. It seems it's almost impossible to count a pulse and determine heart rate per minute with a digital watch.
With an analog watch, you merely watch the second hand travel around the face of the watch while counting the patients pulses.
After 6 years in the Air Force and taking a somewhat cavalier attitude toward hearing protection while working on the flightline, I have noticed a very small decrease in hearing at higher frequencies.
I can not believe that these little ear buds can cause a huge amount of damage in such a short amount of time.
If I recall, when the Sony Walkman came out when I was a kid, there were similar lawsuits issued, that never came to anything. I think that parents sued because their children were ignoring their pleas to finish their homework.
IANAL, but wouldn't this guy have to prove that HIS hearing has been damaged? Or can he do what amounts to a "drive by"?
Not being a citizen of Australia, I'm a bit confused here.
IANAAL, (I Am Not An Australian Lawyer), but isn't there some sort of mechanaism for the people being harrassed to bring some sort of lawsuit against the agents of the state for harassing them?
For a police force to try and intimidate citizens, for taking pictures of bloody PUBLIC buildings or areas, is crazy.
I am actually so disturbed by this article,(and I did RTFA),that I can not post anything without being labeled some kind of libertarian or anarchist crack pot.
I am REALLY wish I could moderate the above statement "-1 Jackass".
It does not matter if you're a crook or a saint, THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO OPEN YOUR MAIL, OR LISTEN TO YOUR PHONE CONVERSATIONS.........unless they get a warrant, and do it LEGALLY.
Encrypting your correspondence DOES NOT MAKE YOU GUILTY OF SOMETHING, YOU TWAT!
If the federal governtment is not legally allowed to open your mail without a judges approval, why on earth would you not be offended of they said they have been reading your e-mail?
My god, if this is the attitude of most people in America, I have no hope left that we will not end up running from the frickin'thought police.
Body armor covering vital areas of the body from penetrating trauma has very little to do with protecting the body from flamnable materials like WP or Napalm.
As for DU rounds, the tremendous amount of KE combined with the density of the rounds means that almost nothing on the planet will stop one of those things from going through it's target.
The warhead will always win the arms race between armor and penetrator.
Do a bit of math here. Newton's third law says for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, if a projectile were to deliver enough energy to break a persons neck after hitting an impregnable helmet, the soldier that made that shot would suffer from a broken shoulder.
As an aside, necks are tougher than most people think. In movies, the hero grabs the villian by the head and makes a severe twisting motion accompanied by a loud "CRACK". In real life, the amount of force needed to break a neck seems to exceed the amoount of force that a SUV traveling at 35 mph imparts to a stopped vehicle at a stoplight. Whiplash is the usual outcome of a multi ton vehicle traveling at 35 mph. A 5 gram bullet moving at approximately 900 m/s has no where near the same energy delivered.
Of course, if a howitzer round lands on the helmet, the odds of a broken neck are pretty slim compared to the odds of being blown into a thousand little red bits....
When ever I need information off of the web, I use several source's, not just wikipedia.
Anyone that use's only one reference to back up his or her argument is an idiot. Nothing but research and alot of proof will ever convince half of the people involved they might be a bit mistaken.

Trust me, the USAF was burnt on the F-111 as well. I worked on them, 1989-1992.

As long as they keep the cockroach form factor I am ok with this sort of technology moving forward.
However, as soon as they start to produce robotic spiders, I am going to be calling my congressman.
The world is creepy enough with REGULAR spiders...
I am curious, how can I benchmark performance for each OS, and how can I do so that I am not comparing apples to oranges?
What I would like to do is something akin to a bandwidth test, and record the results in a way that is easy to compare.
Can anyone help me out here? Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Remember, when confronted with a Jurassic Beaver, make sure to stand perfectly still. They can only see movement.

How hard would it be to offer an accessability patch which might be available for a small fee?
I can't see any reason that sort of thing would be unreasonable.
