OK, I'll admit that most men have the ulterior motive of trying to get laid.

Get a ham license and set up 2 packet radio stations, one with access to broadband and the other at your home. The range is insane. As far as speed goes you'd probably have to do a little research as the standard speeds aren't much better than dialup. Failing that a large wifi link (you can bump up the power a crap-ton once you have a ham license) could also work.
Ok, am I reading this right? Encrypting day-to-day traffic is going to soon be the new norm? Seriously, in the arms race between ISP's and networks the ISP's can't win. All that will happen is the networks will be more sophisticated, use better encryption, etc, etc. ISP's should instead focus on going after the big fish instead of trying to make it impossible/cumbersome for people to transmit certain information. I hope AT&T is smart enough to realize this. . .
Why thank you, you all do understand though that it'll be damn impossible to get modded up posting like this, and even if you do it'll be so far to the right that your post will be a column of characters. Nonetheless I welcome a poster to reply to me and offer an opposing view.
And 2 seconds after I submitted I realized "In the Sky" sounds a lot like "In this guy". ..damn I missed the opportunity to make that a really great pun. . oh well, serves me right for drinking on a Friday night.
P.S. Does anyone else other than coders use nested parenthesis in writing something in English?
All you have to do is strap this thing on, get it up, glide a little bit (perhaps back and forth (in the sky)) and then at the end, deploy the parachute
Yes, but at what temperature/pressure? Both of these things affect the density of water as well. I'm assuming its STP or 25C and 1atm. Then again, how exactly do you go about measuring that...
ROT52 is radically different than ROT26 and has its own problems, triple ROT26 (3ROT26) is much more feasible with today's technology and far easier to implement.
Because the toucam you can get for below $100 and does the job quite well, there have been comparisons between it and specialty MEADE cameras 5x the cost and the toucam does quite well.
Yeah, the only bomb able to trick enemy radar into thinking it's a friendly and then unleashing an explosion that devastates indiscriminately and mother russia simply can't find the courage to get angry at it.
TouCam is dirt cheap and perfect for entry level astrophotography. Just google around, there's lots of literature on modifying/using the camera. I myself have taken some nice pictures of jupiter and moon(with filter) using a Toucam and 114mm maksutov-newtonian telescope. After you capture a video w/ the camera you can boot up registax to process it and make a compilation of multiple video frames for a nice still image. If you want to go for imaging deep objects like M31 or other galaxies, you will probably need to invest in a "real" astrophotography CCD.
Pretty sure that is best strategy, then again maybe it's only one of the many optimal strategies formed by the complex polyhedron. Then again it could be both. ..wow that "intro to game theory" course was pretty interesting. Long story short, can you think of a better way to win? I tend to play defensively and convince other players that if they attack me I will assure they will lose by devoting all my resources to attacking them back, then after a few card sets have been turned in I try to steamroll the weakest players first.
Very true, but as is stated in a later post, sometimes forces like solar wind will cause the gyros to have to spin very rapidly to maintain the desired position, and so you have to bleed this momentum off by using thrusters. Still the use of gyros for rotating is a neat idea considering the environment.
You know we here at slashdot see all sorts of these stories, about how the laws are being made by corporations, about how they want to take as many rights away from consumers as possible and so form an "evil" alliance with the government. While I do think that corporate lobbying is a horrible flaw in our legislative system, I have hope through the judicial system. As long as our peers are the ones to determine if Mrs. Johnson should pay 1.2 million for listening to a song she couldn't find anywhere else we should be fine. Jury nullification is a great check & balance against a flawed legislative system. With that said I am disgusted with the current trend in copyright laws in lieu of the dawn of the information age, but I haven't lost hope. Still that doesn't mean we should sit idly by, send a snail mail letter to whoever represents you, ask them for their opinion on these matters and explain yours.
Change your orientation, and you will need to use fuel to get you back into position which defeats the purpose of equalizing your fuel since you used up what you would have saved.
Satellites often rotate themselves using gyroscopes. Imagine a large spherical weight inside a square box, you spin the sphere clockwise, box rotates counterclockwise, once you are at the orientation you desire, stop the spherical weight, box stops rotating as well. Theres a bit more finesse with the acceleration curves and what speed you let the gyro cruise at, etc. but you get the picture. Yay for conservation of angular momentum. Granted this will take Energy, but not precious fuel, fuel is only required for thrust, not rotation.
Of course he could have, he could have used an infinite number of negations. . or rather, he could have (not^(2n)) used an infinite number of negations. Where n is any whole number greater than 0.
Yeah I've seen that type of first post before. ..ah, here it is After the first few words I realize I should just stop reading. ..but it's just so damn ridiculous I have to keep reading to see where the madness will end. ..like I said before, it's the literary form of goatse; curiosity is a curse.
heh, no I just made it up; the language and content are eerily similar. ..Tried to capture the whole "reasonable on the surface" thing with "slippery slope" kind of thing.
We must not underestimate the bounds and abilities of the terrorists, they may have infiltrated any and all parts of our government, and it our responsibility. . nay, our duty, as freedom-loving Americans to find them and bring them to justice. These background checks are only a preventative measure, to ensure that government employees have the utmost integrity and loyalty. So long as nothing suspicious shows up on these reports government employees have nothing to fear, we must all sacrifice something in the battle against terrorism.
The pinto didn't explode under normal use but instead had a a low tolerance during a (rear-end) crash. If I fling my laptop at the wall I'd be much less surprised if it burst into flames. A more correct analogy would be a car that bursts into flames under normal use.
Oh I know that laptops use harsh chemicals that can causes these fires (lithium is one interesting bugger), but then again, would you expect a car to spontaneously combust? I mean. . all that gasoline which everyone knows is flammable. My point was that it isn't unreasonable to assume that a laptop WILL NOT spontaneously ignite. Even though it certainly has the potential I think a consumer can realistically assume that there are enough safeguards in effect to make it virtually impossible. I don't know the figures for how many laptops have ignited, but if it is higher than the chances of my car/tv/cellphone spontaneously igniting then I think it's a problem.

Heh, thanks for doing my homework for me. I was just about to go digging through FCC regulations.

I guarantee you, you'll see a dupe much sooner than that.
