Ok, before everyone goes bashing him for saying that he doesn't feel bad, lets think.
The Manhattan Project gave way to tons of other discoveries, discoveries that have saved many more lives than were lost to nuclear attack. The concepts of using radiation in medicine, in power generation, etc, were born from the Manhattan project. So yes, while the direct result of these technologies and discoveries were the deaths of millions of Japanese civilians, many more people have been saved by technology behind the nuclear bombs.
Also, in my opinion, the nuclear bomb has in some ways help avert another major world war. If you doubt this, think about it... without the nuclear bomb, there would be no worry about destroying the planet, causing nuclear winter, and rendering land unusuable for decades. But, with the nukes, people must consider what may happen if nuclear weapons are used again. If there were a third world war, chances are there would be so many nuclear weapons fired that the earth would experience massive devastation. Nobody wants that, not even power-hungry dictators and terrorists (Hussein, Bin Laden, Bush).
However, doing that would have allowed the Japanese time to prepare to repel the airplanes that dropped the bomb. You have to remember, this is prior to any ICBM's, and the bomb HAD to be dropped directly onto its target by an airplane.
Well, how about a roll up display you can take with you. A single newspaper, that updates every day. A single book that allows you to simply download new books to it to read, instead of having to waste money (and trees) printing them. Screw having to print multiple new copies of things, just upload the new copy to the piece of paper.
Embed an RFID in the paper to store the data, and use an RFID writer to replace the data.:-D
I hate natural keyboards. They hurt my wrists. I'm currently using a standard Dell QuietKey. I can type 140-170WPM on this baby, all day, with no pain.
I guess it all depends on who you are, how you're built, and how you sit when you type.
Thats what I meant, Sodium Hydroxide. Ehhe I need to pay more attention to what compound I'm writing.
I think I said chloride cause I was thinking about salt at the time...
Either way, I apologize for any confusion.
Today, when a print cartridge runs dry, consumers just buy more ink, not an entire new print head. Refills of HP's new color Vivera ink cartridges will sell for $9.99, while older color ink cartridges can run $30 or more.
A shot of espresso made with freshly roasted / ground beans and on a well maintained machine by a well trained barrista is the apex of coffee perfection and cannot be improved upon.
Why the hell such abominations as the Wolfgang Puck Gourmet Latte and just about everything they serve at Starbacks are permitted to exist is beyond me.
Well, I'm pretty sure you just answered your own question about Starbucks. Starbucks ensures that all of its drinks are made on well-maintained machines by well-trained baristas. Thus achieving the "apex" of coffee perfection.
Oh, and lets not forget that there is more to coffee than that. One man's coffee, even if brewed nearly the same as another man's coffee, will taste different. Plus there are different blends and roasting time for different coffees. There are many factors that go into making Starbucks' drinks, and indeed Wolfgang Puck's Gourmet Latte, unique.
True, but you arent transmitting your TV and beer into my space. However, the transmissions from the WiFi AP were going into the mans vehicle. He "saw" them and said "hey look, free internet".
Before someone says "Ya, but his using it also transmitted into the guys home!":
You're right. So lets make it illegal for anyone to transmit anything onto anybody else's property without permission. Goodbye public television, radio, WiFi in general.
If its unsecured, its open. Deal with it or close your network.

Oh, never mind. Im just an idiot.
Thats what you call.. cali-fornication :-p
So wait... its not ACTUALLY a minigame? I thought that you actually got to control them having sex or something. Pfft.

Actually, they drink tang.

Well yes, thats the general idea. Bring to the literary world what iTunes brought to the music world.

Screw screensavers... lets have keyboard savers!
yes. and there is a department devoted to enforcing such things. its called the Child Protection Agency.

When the chemical reaction occurs, the sodium and water combine to form Sodium Hydrochloride. Thats probably why they say what they say.

RTFM, man. RTFM
I second that
Shutup, I want the bookplate FFS :-p
You see, when Microsoft dumped Slate, they took their spellchecking software with them.

Getting Wolfgang Puck to endorse it :-p
The army has been using this technology in its rations for a loooong time now.
This would be great for taking soups along with you. Especially for lunchs or breakfasts, or on hiking trips.
Except he should said that his insurance would not pay if he had already recieved compensation from another source.
I believe the point he is trying to make is that the $1000 compensation will not cover the cost of his laptop. He is not trolling.

But lets not forget that too much calcium intake can cause brittle bones and strange calcium deposits in places you dont want them.
