Nah, LRC cap with LMC cap with resist caps is unstoppable.
I had a set, back when it was valuable...
The UO economy is shot, as is the game..
I quit after 5+ years of playing.
Floor accelerator, then release to free throttle cable (won't work on throttle by wire, usually). If this doesn't work...
I had this happen to me a few weeks ago, I hit a pothole faster than I should have and all of the sudden I started accelerating out of my control. Of course I toggled cruise control a few times (to no avail), so then I tried pumping the gas pedal a few times. Much to my surprise, it actually made the car accelerate more.
To end the story, as it turns out, when I hit the pothole, my horn speaker broke off of it's mount and landed right on top of the throttle, wedged between the throttle and the firewall (95 Sable). When i pumped the gas pedal, it only wedged the horn further.
A little duct tape and a zip-tie later and the problem was fixed, and it's back to too-fast-for-conditions driving for me!
It costs NASA more to launch the average shuttle than the prize would yield. That's the point in looking for private sector competition, price becomes a factor and they'll develop cheaper techniques.
The X prize is a way of saying "WTF, windows is bloated and expensive, someone write me a better OS"
I bring my laptop to coffee shops for 5-6 hour sessions of writing. I like to write fiction in my free time. I found that using only one app (I use OpenOffice, even though my laptop is well equipped to handle MS Office (1.8ghz). and reducing the power settings on my laptop I can get 4-5 hours out of it. I use a toshiba laptop, by the way.
It might seem a bit odd, but I somtimes embody the "Monitors are for hackers with a bad memory" saying. I'll turn my monitor off (switch to VGA-out only). I can write that way for up to 6 hours. Of course it doesn't work so easily for other applications, but for simple writing, I tend to do fine. Only problem is a little 20 minutes of editing and formatting afterward (editing and formatting that tend to take up more time if they're done on-the-fly anyway).
Why would you say sorry? You just boosted all of our download speeds.:) It's not very much more stress on suprnova's servers, thus the Bit Torrent aspect of it. Sheesh.
One thing i've always liked about the Beastie Boys were their technological edge. I find your claims to be highly unfounded and based upon a few songs you heard back in the 80s.
But ask yourself which door it's a foot into. What was the original purpose of the internet? for childporn? Absolutely not for porn? Absolutely not. (though it did help the internet to grow, not neccesarily in the right direction) for Warez? Probably not for Hacks? (I'm assuming you mean Script Kiddie tools) Absolutely not.
The internet was created for the free spread of ideas and information... not to give society another medium for "bullying" annother person around or stealing something that someone doesn't WANT to share.
I'm going to avoid turning this into a filesharing argument by avoiding that front. But honestly, which internet to you see a positive future in? I understand that people have the RIGHT to be immature and do some stupid things (Child Porn, Hacks), but who says we have to make it easy for people to do?
And as far as porn goes... it makes up a large chunk of the internet, It's not going to go nomatter what you do about it. I'm not making the distinction that porn is bad, but rather that it is taking the internet away from more novel purposes as far as the mass of society and the media is concerned... and face it, computers wouldn't be nearly as far along now if they hadn't picked up large social support.
In every other case a high death rate results in an even higher birth rate.
A high death rate correlates with a high birth rate, i'm not sure you can build a cause-effect relationship between the two statistics--without a theory that can be tested it is nothing more than a correlation... you can't say that by raising the death rate you can raise the birth rate.
Low birth rates, on the other hand, make for low to negative population growth almost every time.
There are far too many cultural forces playing in this scenario to make such an admittely "counterintuitive" and "supprising" claim.
new features and services, such as improved platform manageability, serviceability, and administrative interfaces which are too complex to implement in the old BIOS environment
God forbid they leave me with one thing in my computer that I know won't crash.
A bios is a bios because it's a basic I/O system, it does a simple task, it's done a damned good job for the last 20 years, why go around changing it?
Good code has a simple and solid foundation, building from there--not a bunch of integrated and "optimized" complex subroutines without a fall-back.
In addition you have to consider that ever-raising dollar figure associated with oil prices. Driving faster uses more gas to go the same distance. so, if everyone drives fast, more gas used, oil prices rise, polution rises, president doesn't get reelected. Nuff said? Also, stricter driving laws give police reason to pull over someone they suspect is a drunk driver. Hell, i'd be ecstatic if a cop pulled me over to see if I were drunk--I'd feel safe knowing that he actually gives a shit and checks.
Then agian Science can't explain how life forms(today), Science can't explain out of the billions of permutations that evolution requires why is there only one Intelligent species, Why hasn't another one exsisted? The probalities would say it should of happened.
If any species starts to gain on any other, one quickly vanquishes the other.
You're saying that "because there is no one competing with the Roman Empire right now, they have always dominated the world"
The truth of the matter is, the evolution of species is a much longer process that the evolution of society--one which we can not date back further than bones we find.
Non-insurance agency reports generally say that speeding doesn't make an accident any better or worse.
You're dead on... in a world of mature drivers. It's not so much that speed makes accidents worse, so much as makes them more common... I think you're considering everyone as a middle-aged sober driver. I'm not saying that teenagers, elderly, and drunkards speed--my point is that when someone else is speeding, these people with reduced reaction times, tend to make some poor decisions in dealing with the speeding driver.
And as far as democracy goes, there are bigger problems than Voting. We don't have choice, even if we had direct voting--choose from the puppet on the left, or puppet on the right... these people represent nothing but corporate America--professional politicians--the Senate nothing more than a millionaires club.
And you're wrong historically: the republic was established not by the federal government, but by the state governments. The president was not intended to be chosen by the people, according to the constitution--it was to be chosen by the states. It just so happends that all of the states leave it up to their people to tell them who to vote for in the electoral college.
RFID is a bit difficult to broadcast through materials. It is almost irrelevant how strong the initial broadcast is or how large the antenna is (after a reasonable point). the problem is the reply from the RFID chip. I was thinking about this same problem a while ago from an idiot pretending to know what he's doing stand-point and realized that, without powered RFID "chips", you can't really boost the range of RFID.
Sorry if i wasn't too clear, that's what I was refering to as 'sentence structure' out of a lack of better words. I thought that maybe it was one of those "correct, but sounds like shit" sentences. I honestly couldn't tell the difference, but dislike them both equally. If it's not even correct grammar than I guess he didn't proofread it (or is just overly dependant on an Edior);)
Asked an english-buff friend of mine, she agreed with you. I, on the other hand, will be honest and say I don't know anything about english beyond what I believe to be colloquially correct.
Imagine a cute fluffy puppy, frolicking happily and wagging its silly puppy tail. Imagine someone offering that puppy a lovely pig's ear. Think of the bright eyes and lolling tongue of the cute little puppy as the treat is offered, imagine the little nosie twitching in anticipation. then imagine that just as the puppy goes to take it, the pig's ear is harshly snatched away, and the bearer gives the poor little puppy a hefty kick in the nuts.
That is what pirates do
How did this get passed the mods? it's meaningless and boring, poorly-executed humor. There is no news, at all, anywhere here.
You know what that's called? A troll. I call bullshit.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Earth's moon is not a planet.

stereo images? I thought this was an Auto(car) Stereo system powered by linux... with a 3D display, for some reason.
Unfortunately most of the time, windows decides when you get to waste hours... Windows is a very touchy person.

We have HOV lanes. Why would something like this be so far fetched?
I don't know which Atlanta roads you're driving on, but all of them that I use have "that lane with the extra line"
HOV lane enforcement simply doesn't exist in Atlanta. What makes you think people would respect the cute little "PM only" lane?
Although it's admittedly easier to police a "PM only" lane, I think you underestimate the power of American belligerence.
Beleive me, I want a solution as badly as the next person, but I don't see this as such an end-all solution to put in place.
Americans are scared--whether justified or not. Most won't sacrifice their Soccer Tanks, even if PMs are statistically safer.
To his credit, the parent did seem a bit misleading and certainly had me on the same high horse as him.
