I determined for myself that 1 fl. oz is not 1 oz.
1 oz. is about 28 grams, and 1 fl.oz. is something like 29 grams or 29.1 grams. If I'm making 3 billion tons of gravy, that's quite a large difference.
Some people might not know what a content management framework is, but it's damn rude to say that he shouldn't be reading the article if he doesn't know.
Whatever happened to the old idea of learning something new? Whatever happened to being a friendly neighbor?
If cooking were chemistry, we'd be measuring solids by weight and not volume. Making bread is far more difficult than it needs to be because two people can't measure out the same cup of flour. I'd blame it on bad lab technique, but it's actually faulty recipes that specify solids (powders) in terms of volume. That makes no sense unless you specify the density of the packing as well. It would be much easier and more accurate to just specify a certain number of grams of flour instead.
These could inadvertently trigger a terrorist attack too. It's not too hard to imagine a bomb controlled by a signal, and if that signal is cut off the bomb explodes. This would be a fail-safe switch for the bomber and the bomb, in case the terrorist is killed, the bomb goes off. There are IED's in Iraq that work like that right now. These jammers could kill innocent people, and are properly illegal.
Selling out is the American way! It's going to happen to Slashdot eventually. For proof, look at the great rock band the Who. First, they're bathing in baked beans on the cover of a record, and next their tunes are being hacked up for the opening music on three different CSI TV shows. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing is more American than making a buck.
What does that mean? Does this mean that it hasn't been proven to be universal (which is the case if there was just a bug in the proof) or is there another proof that shows the machine is not universal?
kdawson, not proven to be universal and proven to be not universal are two different things.
Air isn't free. It's used in proportion to the nutrients you consume. You thought air was free? Nope, the cost is built in to what you pay for a big mac. Glad to have educated you.
I think it's about perceived value. Most people don't value what they didn't pay for. It's free, so it's not worth much, right? This is the reason why I won't give my child any money for college. Not a penny. I'm going to make them pay their own way, out of their trust funds and other incomes. If I paid for it and gave them a free education, they wouldn't value it at all.
Same with Linux. It came with the computer, and it's free anyway. Microsoft is going to make a HUGE amount of money selling XP to people who want something they paid for. It's a perception that it's better because Microsoft can make money from it.
Right, I know all the objections, and most of them are wrong or irrelevant. That's because you can hop on the Internets and fill my computer full of arguments about freedom and open software and stuff. But, you can't as easily hop on the Internets and do the same thing to a kid in Niger, can you? It'll take you a couple years to educate these kids, and in that two years (or 4 or 6) before you can tell the rest of the world about your great free software, Microsoft will make billions selling them something they already have.
I'm a consultant. I can turn the sun on for you if you pay me. But first, we must have a meeting in which you must tell me what you are referring to when you use the word 'sun'.
For Pete's sake, do liberals have to put their political correctness into EVERY thing they see? Quit forcing other people make a hash out the language just to protect your sensitive little brains and the conclusions they jump to.
Essentially, abortion reduces crime by killing the criminals before they get a chance. That doesn't make abortion right, because not all those abortions are killing criminals. I am only in favor of killing the criminals after they've been convicted.
It works like this: The helecopter approximates a visual representation of helecopters familiar to people in America. People with money. You get those rich, stupid people in America to invest in your helecopter-representation, and their riches become your riches. That's how the helecopter/moneymaker works.
There's nothing much for us to do down here either. Most of us work at meaningless jobs, doing nothing important at all really. We sell stuff to our neighbors and buy stuff from our neighbors. Read Ecclesiastes and see.
If you can get a bunch of people living on the moon permanently, providing some product or service, then the Earth Moon system will be self-sustaining, and the people on the Moon will have as much purpose as people on the Earth.
Nothing to do. Bah. If you've got 25,000 people living on the Moon, they'll have just as much to do as 25,000 people living in Marble Falls Texas.
You're still not thinking the right way. You're thinking about people visiting space, and saying 4 months up is way too long for a vacation. I'm thinking of people living in space, so they won't be riding the elevator constantly.
My daddy was rich, but I am a self made man. He loaned me $10 million to start my own business, but I paid him back every penny. Don't tell me I got my money from my dad, or from anybody else. I earned it all without help, by my own hard work and discipline.
Armstrong with nothing to say? He was an awesome choice for first man on moon, but I wish that he felt some kind of obligation to talk about it more. He basically said thanks for the trip, now I'm going to retire leave me alone k thx bye.
He's an inspiring man, I just wish he'd talk about it more.
That's a good problem to have, because we have good solutions to it. Keeping a long pipeline filled (even 4 months) so that it's constantly delivering a stream of material to orbit is trivial. 4 months to orbit won't reduce the utility of a space elevator very much.
What has a Buddist ever done? China is full of Buddists and look at them. Poor, dirty, smelly, almost animals. For 5000 years. They're still not free, and they lack the spirit to even want the freedom any man would want. On the other hand, the USA, a Christian nation, prosperous almost immediately, a shining example to the world. Morality yields a certain kind of nation - our Christian nation. I know it's not fashionable to call other races heathens and other religions immoral and depraved, but that's why morality is hard. And if Christianity isn't defended everywhere and expressed through abundant living in a Christian nation, then we'll sink to the level of animals, like the non-Christian nations.
Wealth is evidence of morality. I'm rich because I've mastered myself, with willpower, discipline, determination, and self reliance. If you don't master these things, well, you wake up at 3 PM and deliver pizza.

Please, won't somebody think of the Javerts?
Ahhh Nader. Remind me to send him a gift. He helped me put my boy into the White House, and it's only right to thank him for his patriotism.

I can contradict Jon Postel right now, and he won't have a thing to say about it.
It wasn't me. It's my opinion that "cut piece" should have been performed with chainsaws.
