hehe, i made a portable bottle rocket launcher similiar to that. Ok, it was in the grill of a car to shoot over our practice field 25 years ago.
I used a single strand of wire from a piece of multistranded flexible wire and simply wrapped it around a standard match head for the ignitor:) Actually worked quite well (80+%) for the price (err...free)
For shooting off big dollars in fireworks i would just pop for the rocket ignitors tho.
Anyways, good luck, have fun, and none of us ever said a word to you......
Right on, i just bought a Xbox off my buddy to help support his Xbox360 habit:) $80 with 2 games and 2 controllers plus $45 for 5 more games off ebay. Now i just add the couple specific games i wanted and i'll still be under $200.
"The only reason anyone would find this funny is if they are willing to completely ignore what the hunting entails and just laugh at another's misfortune."
Like the nice drive to the woods...oh wait someone else will do that. Like searching for a good spot..oh wait someone else will need to do that. Like tracking your game...oh wait that will be someone else. Like aiming carefully...oh wait someone else again. Like determine if safe to shoot...oh wait someone is responsible. Pull trigger...BINGO Determine if you hit something...oh wait back to someone else. Collect your prize/trophy/food...oh wait someone will at least need to direct them to it and back. Load it on/in car...Possible i suppose but since you already have an assistant.... Bring home...oh wait need someone to bring em home. Show off prize kill...DONE
Nope, wouldn't want to deny them the hunting experience would you. I find it funny because hunting entails alot more than simply pulling the trigger when someone says GO.
I suppose if they find someone willing to take responsiblity we could let them. IF something does happen who do you sue/fine/lockup? The blind guy who pulled trigger or the guy saying GO ?!?!?
Who do you fine for overlimit or shooting wrong critter ?!? Aid says you missed when you hit it and gets a couple for himself. Fine the blind dude? Fine the aid that never fired a shot for shooting something someone else shouldn't have shot? If answer is fine the blind dude, sounds like blind could be taken advantage of pretty easy. Fine the aid sounds pretty iffy.
I course i would want equal rights for blind bow hunters;)
Sounds like more problems created than solved. How many blind people can be clamouring for hunting rights anyway?
Now you have at least 2 pages of services that still easier to use and faster than msn/yahoo page o' junk. Save this link and you only need one button to get to most services now.
His comments are fine...EXCEPT...
More than half the time i go to google to search. I don't want to see a bunch of junk and i sure don't want to wait for a bunch of video clips and ads to load on MSN.
Oh well, guess i am just simple. I have a phone that just makes phone calls, a printer to print stuff, a fax to fax stuff, a copier to copy, and a camera to take pictures. They all do their job well.
*ok, so i shouldn't mention the stereo system with 166 buttons and 47 knobs i guess;)
"Or even better, confessed to multiple things only to have the charges dropped from something like 24 counts down to 1"
So having it go from 25 counts now down to 1 when they plead will change what exactly? What will be the 1st charge they drop now?
I suppose it is OK as a feel-good measure and let sites check against so they can say they tried.
However it seems this list would have to be widely available or do only a couple large sites get it? Do i have the right to keep them out of my chat room? Does vigilante group X have the right to keep them out of their chat room. Can we all get the list? So it seems likely the SO would get harassed more and be even more likely to get an additional email address than otherwise!
I keep hearing how the space in important to the PS3...
Aren't the vast majority of games gonna be written for both PS3 and Xbox360 at a minimum ?!? Can you add more stuff for a fraction of your customers without breaking the bank? At least they know it will be there if they find an economical way to use it.
Now the idiots that left off the Hard Drive on the 360 is another story...with demos, trailers, d/l games, scoring, etc that seems MUCH more useful item.
What on earth could be so important you would have to check while driving that one would actually send in an email that you can't be sure will even arrive?
If it is that important then surely it would be worth a phone call. Not that one should answer that on the road, but for crying out loud, now we need DWE (driving while emailing) laws too ?!? On second thought, the sleeping pill ad on TV has to say not to drive after use so i guess maybe:(
There is no such thing as an emergency email in my world:)
I use one from 7-11, speak-out or speak easy, something like that.
Terribly high per minute but i use the phone almost zero so that wasn't important. Seems to do ok outside local, had no problems on trip to the beach. One of those plans does have the 365 day dating on refills which was what i wanted. $50 phone (less now) and $25 per year for an emergency phone worked fine.
We just replaced a couple of the company phones from a verizon plan with these also. Went from $300 a year to $75 even assuming the damn drivers lose the phone;)
What water? The puddle outside may not be considered wet at the moment. surely this will need to be factored in. You may need to add a geologist or meteorologist to help determine if climate or location affects the answers. Also remember water is less wet at this time of year.
Reminds me of my paper i never got to do luckily... The migratory habits of the common office writing utensil:)
Anyways, hard to believe that high of percentage. I suspect the questions are suspect. If broadband is 81% and overall is around %50, that means most all broadband blocks/filters and most all dial-up do not, right? Or is there a LOT higher percent of people on dial-up than i think. How many dial-up vs broadband now and why the wide diference?
EMT scissors made for cutting seatbelts and stuff:) Cuts anything up to and including pennies.
Being in the medical supply industry i wonder how people get by without a drawer full of surgical instruments:)
Still hate the damn packaging tho.
PS Aviation grade wire rocks:) hehe dad had a flight school/repairshop/avionics shop when i was young and wired up my train layout with leftovers from closing the avionics part:)
Their marketshare is not declining much sounds like it has dipped a tad.
Would this not be a bad thing since they bought half the competition by now?? If you get rid of competitors and still don't gain any ground on who's left you failed. So they spent a bunch of extra $$ buying out people to simply hold their ground. Sounds like when there is noone left to buy up they will be in deep doo-doo to me.
Except that live performances never sounded hollow and metallic to me;)
That said, CDs are fine i just have to adjust my stereo a tad. MP3 is bearable, fine for portable players. Burning something from iTunes to CD sounded the worst. I haven't attempted to reencode as i dont really do MP3 or similiar yet.
And why do we need an article correcting the zune sales from one pathetic number to an ever so slightly less pathetic number;)
Until someone comes up with much better(is it possible?) DRM scheme and gets it into wide use (i thought they were trying with Playsforsure but WTF?) i can't see anyone approaching iPod.
"There aren't five brands of recordings because the artist didn't sign five contracts."
Have any artists signed nonexclusive contracts with multiple publishers?
I wonder what would happen if some major artists starting insisting on it. Could certainly create an interesting marketing scenerio if they were big/good enough.
Oh well, I can't get my head around the perpendicular part anyways;(
To be useful wouldn't they need to be on a medium of some sort? Useless the medium is a thread one...umm...vortex wide how do you hit it at 90 degrees? You can't focus the magnetism like a laser to get to another layer AFAIK.
hmm, i may have figured it out while descibing it. Now do i have to patent it before i say it? hehe Seems like a bugger to manufacture tho, that multi-terabyte drive is gonna be multi$$
Is that the boss is not gonna figure out how to sleep/hibernate/turnitoff anyways since he may not recognize what the on/off symbol means in the 1st place. And a little arrow nearby isn't gonna clue him in either.......
That on/off icon duplicates the button on the laptop, they do the same thing i hope!
Having to hit start to shutdown was bad enough to explain:O Looks like they got rid of the word START, i guess that's a start.
Good Point... i know you would rather have the mod point but life's not nice;)
I found a history book in the alley. I actually took it home and read it:) The book seemed alot better than the class at least from my foggy memory, hehe. Wasn't bad really tho it was in small bite sized chunks. If it didn't fit on one page it must have changed the world;) The overlapped of history periods cause it focused on geo areas primarily was a bit confusing sometimes tho.
And a pause button, rewind would make a god-awful mess tho, hehe.
I am worse than an 8-track buff, I am a QUADraphonic 8-track buff:) hehe, Quad recorder with a 4-channel dolby box and 2 EQs. I need to make some mix tapes one of these days.
If I could format shift the VHS easily I would but there is nothing to format shift my QUAD tapes to nor would I;)
"the Brits are running a much more efficient failure at $24,000 per physician per year, while America's KP is spending $76,920 per physician, per year on its failing project"
Was this comparision done by one of those techno idiots? hehe
Seeing as how this a 'medical records system' not an office accounting system shouldn't one compare the number of medical records/patients not doctors involved?? Does an American doctor see 3 times the number of patients? Not likely but not inconceivable either.
Not that KP has ever been a model of effiency...
Oh well, we have a $50,000 system that can't remember check numbers between batches:(
C'mon even my local paper had 2 PS3/Wii stories today. Including a decent description for the features of both. This is Spokane i would hope that a nerdy site would outgun us on gaming 'info';)
It's a good thing they explained that baby commercial...I was REALLY begining to wonder about their target demographic:O
Not that i understand why crying is related to gaming. Exactly what game makes one cry ?!? I was kinda hoping for FUN from a PS3 personally but to each his own. The only thing i can relate to is when EA shutdown the MCO servers... So sony will get me wrapped up in a game and then take it all away? Umm, that isn't gonna get me to pluck down $600 anytime soon.
WTF is reverse crying? I don't work for an ad agency.

I don't know but the local newspaper presented it the exact same way as we did here.
