You know, you could actually wash your own clothes and get some exercise, then hang them to dry.
This might be better than working the double shift to pay for that $1400 washer/dryer set, and then spending extra on the gym membership to stay in shape, all the while exhausted....just a thought.
The most convincing testimony to jurors is not a clear, honest explanation, but a whiz-bang over-your-head technical explanation that laypeople don't understand.
Yeah, the whole orbiter thing is absolutely flawless!...except for that whole "burns up on re-entry" thing... yeah that might be a small problem...
I love how the contingency plan is that if problems with Discovery are found during its inspection, the crew will stay on the ISS while another shuttle goes to rescue them!
Great plan!...except for that whole "the shuttles all have the same design" thing... yeah that might be a small problem...
Keep your eye on People Aggregator (you can give them your email for updateds) - it's going to be a sort of meta social networking tool, with the ability to create "ad hoc" networks of your own, as well as manage all of your other social networking (myspace, flickr, etc.).
I think it's going to be the ultimate in social networking - one place to manage all your blogs and profiles.
My hope is that the universality of this tool will eventually draw people off of myspace and into corporate-free networks of their own.
(IANAMD), but I think a backlit display is probably one of the biggest causes of eye strain. The whole point of buying an e-reader, for me, would be the e-paper.
My dad prints out hundreds and hundreds of pages daily because he simply hates reading backlit displays.
Laser dentistry eliminates many of the common complaints of traditional dentistry. A laser device replaces the rotary tool and can be used for everything from surgery to tooth bleaching. The only addition to the procedure is the requirement of protective glasses to shield the eyes from the laser beam. A laser doesn't make any noise and doesn't require physical contact with your teeth. Water isn't usually needed but air suction is used to keep the treated area cool.
I have read that often anesthesia is not needed since the laser doesn't produce the heat or vibration of the drill. It also avoids micro-fractures that may weaken the tooth down the road.
On that site you can search for dentists in your area.
When the new comment system came out on digg they had comments nested 3 deep. As a user interested in digg's possibilities, that was pretty exciting!
Within an hour or so the nesting was restricted down to 1 deep - that was such a horribly frustrating moment for me and digg.
I agree that messaging and replies are such an important part of the web experience. In order to read my replies on digg or fark, I need to go back through the stories I commented on, and text match my username to see if anyone gave me a shoutout. It's a slow and tedious process. This is one of those things that slashdot gets right. Flickr has a pretty interested system where I can go back and see my comments pretty easily, but with no nesting you are again doing the text-matching username thing.
It's really frustrating being on "the other side of the fence" on the internet. I guess I better start brushing up on my coding skills so I can make the ultimate news website - basically:
1. user submitted stories like digg 2. deep nested comments like slashdot 3. comment headers/titles like slashdot 4. comment messaging system like slashdot - read who replied to your comments, etc. 5. ability to post pictures like fark
It would be a digg/fark/slashdot hybrid, with a superset of features.
The biggest thing I haven't decided on is the moderation system.
Anyway, if someone wants to do this for me, be my guest!
Improve things? We're just trying to keep things from getting worse!
"Damage control" describes most of my political action lately - I generally fancy myself as a progressive, bleeding heart left liberal (yes there's a bit of sarcasm in there for some of you), but lately I have found myself feeling like a bit of a short-term regressivist - I would like to turn back the political clock to September 10, 2001. Ironically, I would consider this "progress."
How about a check-box that lets people include non-photography and or screenshots in their search.
Would that be so hard? Oh wait, we're talking about a site where character over-run in comments creates long lines which makes for horizontal scrolling on otherwise normal web pages. Maybe it would be that hard.:-\
MacBook has the word "MAC" in it. That's Apple's very expensive brand name, and they would do very well to promote it. They learned this from the auto industry.
"What kind of car do you drive?"
No one says "oh, I drive an SC 430." They just say, "I drive a Lexus.
"Every citizen of Annexia was required to apply for and carry on his person at all times a whole portfolio of documents. Citizens were subject to be stopped in the street at any time; and the Examiner, who might be in plain clothes, in various uniforms, often in bathing suit or pyjamas, sometimes stark naked except for a badge pinned to his left nipple, after checking each paper, would stamp it. On subsequent inspection the citizen was required to show the properly entered stamps of the last inspection. The Examiner, when he stopped a large group, would only examine and stamp the cards of a few. The others were then subject to arrest because their cards were not properly stamped. Arrest meant "provisional detention"; that is, the prisoner would be released if and when his Affidavit of Explanation, properly signed and stamped, was approved by the Assistant Arbiter of Explanations. Since this official hardly ever came to his office, and the Affidavit of Explanation had to be presented in person, the explainers spent weeks and months waiting around in unheated offices with no chairs and no toiled facilities.
Documents issued in vanishing ink faded into old pawn tickets. New documents were constantly required. The citizens rushed from one bureau to another in a frenzied attempted to meet impossible deadlines."

Then certainly, we shouldn't bother returning to the moon because it's "been done."
Actually - I'm a "let the robots explore space while we control them remotely here on terra" but you know, whatever.

Sad but true... can't recall source right now.
Umm... I've had a COLLEGE PROFESSOR use "thru" in formal writing.
Yeah, it's great. Glad I paid the big bucks for the whole college education thing.

NPR reported that the shuttle would be grounded in cloudy weather due to potential electrical activity in the atmosphere.
Yes -
the shuttle really is THAT fragile!

Dawn and Drew?
Govtrack will let you set up RSS feeds to monitor your representatives, catch legislation based on keywords, etc.
It's a good start but I would like to see more sophisticated tools available.
Flickr is excellent.
I know I am weird but - I actually don't want the illegal content. I can find commercial programming on television.
The reason I go to youtube is precisely to see user generated "grassroots" content.
No, it's not generally fine art, but it is often funny and interesting. It's what the internet is all about.
I strongly prefer your design.
However, I must join others in calling for user customization on the styling - the best of all worlds, for everyone!
You're confusing privacy and vanity.
You'll find that most conservatives are ripe with victorian ideals, including shamefulness of the human body.
When it's illegal to be without clothes, is it illegal to be human?
Businesses and individuals may soon have to release their encryption keys to the police or face imprisonment, when Part 3 of the RIP Act comes into effect

That would be the "Lyme Disease - hey, at least it's not AIDS!" argument.
Just because the current political climate in the United States "isn't as bad as ______[insert country]" doesn't make it ok.

Focus the brand!
What next, "young people are losing interest in machining?"

Please, don't let the industry mature!
don't forget magnatune!
Hopefully some bright programmers will fork the code and keep Azureus alive and updated in its current form.
