There is a show called 'Sport Science' on Fox Sports where they take all these extreme athletes of all types of sports in America like NBA, NFL, NHL, I.R.L., softball, soccer, billards and it goes on. The text article is nice but they provide so much more info on the show and visual demonstrations with great players like Jerry Rice, Ben Roathlisberger
The MMA one is a really interesting one when you have Bas Rutten making the scientest jaws drop with the amount of pressure they hit a target. One hit I remember broke the 1000lbs of force and they were telling these guys that they are throwing concussion hits.
Good episodes like... Human Flight: Who Are The Highest Flyers in Sports? Sudden Impact: Who Hits the Hardest in Sports? Reaction Time: Who Reacts the Fastest in Sports? Cheap Shots: What does a Cheap Shot feel like in Sports? Out of Control: Elements of the Game you can't Control
Wouldn't another thing you want to consider is how much muscle strength is in the tigers leg; which would allow it to leap farther. I don't know if there is a formula for that.
The tiger got out either way so it has been proven.
Good than we still have about 5 billion years before the Sun goes out.
I wonder if this will affect the moon much? Maybe it could even help push the moon a little closer since it is moving farther away from Earth every year.
We Californians tried to get our emissions test to a higher standard and for better fuel economy, but the third world country in Detroit had a better shouting distance to Washington.
It is alright though since we are suing them in court. Does California have the right to set the emission standards lower for vehicles here which will basically affect the rest of the industry? It is all playing out now and the sad thing is that Toyota had no opposition to it since they had already met the standards long ago.
I have seen scooters and those Vespa(?) scooters are also a lot more popular. Side not for any businessmen or entrepreneurs a good investment would be to sell those Vespa scooters.
Thank you for making that big point because more sets are coming with the tuner/cable card built into them and even integrate some DVR. Almost be nice to take my cable card over to somebodies house and bring my service to their set.
The DVR service almost becomes pointless after awhile when you have the VOD(Video On Demand) service; the shows are all stored there in the VOD library for access anytime. VOD eliminates a heat generating hard drive to make space for smaller devices.
They have taken measures to prevent hijackings like not opening the cockpit doors. Also they have reinforced the doors to withstand anything.
I don't get where you are trying to go with your argument. They might even just use it on International flights only or maybe to certain areas.
They are preventing something that 'might happen'. It is better to be safe than sorry.
I know it is hard to follow what is going on in the world; but Russia sells a lot of military arms to basically everyone in the world and a personal AA missle can be cheap to get.
It is called VOD (Video On Demand) not Tivo-ing and is referred to as a DVR not PVR. Time-Warner have one of the best systems around right now for VOD. I have a free huge library of hundreds of videos at my disposal to play HBO On Demand, Cinemax, Showtime, TMC, Starz, Local news On Demand, Dodgers On Demand. There are dozens and dozens of these On Demand channels just filled with full seasons of your favorite shows ready to play and you don't have to wait for them to be recorded. As soon as we get rid of that stinking old analog system the VOD library is going to get a lot bigger and we can soon get some HD content served up within next 4 years.
Oh yeah dish service can never really do this because it basically requires a two way communications to serve it up, especially the bandwidth and multicast. Satellite tried to copy the VOD with some newer boxes but what they basically did was record every single movie or popular stuff the last 24hrs to the DVR so it would make you think it was On Demand but not really.
Statement just proves to never come here for an opinion on Blu-ray technology or any format war.
Pick any article and the opinion will be completely wrongly predicted or just modded up to satisfy the open source advocates around here; it is annoying when the agenda must be pushed on every article or how simple little 'facts' get completely ignored.
Minority as usual speaking as if they represent the majority.
Boy I remember being called a 'paid shill' that works for Sony because I said Blu-ray was going to win the format war when it was clear they had all the blockbuster movies under them; yet the same old crap about how there were some classics out there that were still good and how some indie films would stand up.
Example: You should watch the show 'The First 48' about detectives working murder cases.
Usually the first 24 hours is spent searching for suspect or if they have identified him they will keep the info quiet and give out fliers to police officers to find the criminal.
If all resources are exausted usually by the 2nd day they will reach out to the media and put the criminals face(fame) out there.
Seriously what a jackass, I hope his opinion isn't that bad in the real world at his school or maybe they just don't take his opinion as usual with any IT person. A simple suspension of 2 days or several weeks of Saturday detention would be much more appropriate.
Earthquakes are not as devastating as they used to be or as people make them out to be in California mainly because of home building code improvements and overall infrastructure improvement; mainly just in San Fransisco area where the big one is coming. Cal Edison is doing massive upgrades to the electrical infrastructure in California, so most of the power remains on even in a bad earthquake. Electric towers(strong A-frames/etc) and poles are buried deep(20 ft+) in the ground; they will not be easily knocked down unless you are at the epicenter.
Hell during the North Ridge quake we didn't lose power but instead watched the news people in the morning start looking around as the studio shook and than you heard the earthquake approaching which sounded like a 100 freight trains coming at you, pretty hilarious and later on that day we went to Knott's Berry Farm where all the rides were still working.
I don't see why a generator would be knocked out of commission when it is most likely bolted to the ground and the worst that would happen is it would move a foot or so during movement, most cords are flexible anyways and we Californians can easily survive up to a 9.0+ for most homes.
New Orleans is just basically uninhabitable geographically and it would be pointless to provide power to a flooded city where everything would short out in the water, unless you raise the whole city and electrical lines in homes out of the water. They just have to ride it out unless they can get a temporary cell tower in the air somehow on a blimp/plane.
Living in the Midwest is a completely different story because of the intense storms and freezes they get; even if they had generators you would have to have huge reserve tanks of gas because you would most likely not be able to get out to it to refill. They basically just have to ride it out like they have been doing and find some good neighbors to hang tough with.
How do some of the colder European countries handle some of these situations, although it is hard to compare since the U.S. is a lot larger and some of the communities might be closer together?
Why would a warlord allow his people not to have rice but have a laptop so they can learn and ultimately remove him from power. Warlords might be dumb but they are not that dumb and they will not think twice before pulling out a pistol to shoot that teacher in front of the kids to make him an example. Laptops can be stolen also and they basically 'don't give a shit' about them, so that will most likely means being destroyed or used as a weapon.
I predict in some of these African nations the local muslim population will see these laptops as a threat from 'the man' and we will see on the local news channel a pile of OLPC all burning while the community dances around them. I don't like that tribal attitude also towards education/learning but thats the way the modern civilization works.
Laptops and rice are nice but it doesn't get rid of a warlord or tribal attitudes, an AK-47 might be better in some ways but it is better they get 'some rice' rather than 'no rice' even if the warlord takes some. Warlords are not going to take rice and sell it on the international market either, I don't know where you made that fact up but that is a very dumb idea. They are not in the trade market but rather in the steal/loot market.
I still like the SNL skit where Will Ferrell play president Clinton; how he explains the warlords and compares it with a sausage mcmuffin.
Wish the world was a Utopia also but there is always somebody who wants power out there, it only takes a group of pissed off villagers to say "hey we don't have any food, but why do these kids have laptops". I just think of the kid who comes home after using his laptop only to have his mother cooking up whatever rodents they could find on the ground to cook up(saw it on National Geographic).
Nobody takes these warlords seriously and everyone thinks you can sit down to have talks with them, it always comes down to we need the U.N./U.S. to come in to solve the problem.
Version 8 which I just got Free After Rebate works also completely fine on my Vista and the same for my buddies laptop, along with everything else I used to use on XP.
You obviously never watched the show on HBO 'The Wire'.
This method is known by police and the feds for a long time with the disposable phones; they even got smart and started buying them from another state to throw off the authorities.
The drug dealers in Baltimore know a lot more about privacy and keeping their conversations private than a lot of people around here sometimes.
Don't worry, we Californians do a lot of things different than the rest of the nation and usually have to take it into our own hands to get something done. Like voting to allow medical marijuana which the feds do not like at all.
California is literally a nation by itself sometimes with the laws we try to enact because the government works too slow; health-care, medical marijuana, housing mortage problem and other things. California defines what the nations emissions laws are set at for car manufacturers, well big GM, Ford and others are trying to get the emissions standards lowered for the thirsty cars. So we took them to court and are suing them for trying to do this, we will win basically because Southern California represents the auto industry while detroit has lost most all of its power except for its hands in a few senators pockets.
You can get pulled over by the CHP and if you have under an ounce(over maybe) of Marijuana they will let you go as long as you are not under the substance. The CHP works for the state of California and not the Federal government, thats why you always see federal agents executing raids on Medical Marijuana facilities and not the local police.
They would treat just like a pit maneuver and if the police executed it in a safe manor where there is not a lot of traffic or pedestrians around. Send officer ahead to slow down traffic ahead so you don't have any fast moving oncoming cars. This unit is most likely going to be limited to a very few cars so the chance that we have a miss hit will be unlikely as they usually have a senior ranking officer leading the pursuit. It is no different than executing a pit maneuver and making sure you do not send the suspects car into oncoming traffic, sometimes the suspect get too eradic on the road and the police just decide to pull of the pursuit or pull back to let the police chopper to follow him.
It is going to be interesting to see this used in the car chase capitol of the world here in Southern California. You don't execute the pit maneuver going 60 mph down a residential, but you can look ahead and have officers clear the path ahead to execute the microwave take down on a wider open boulevard.
It only goes 15 meters so bust out your tape measure and get an idea that it is not very far at all,

Well I guess Microsoft could fill that empty space where the HD-DVD drive was supposed to go.

Cannot be as bad as this Griswold family I used to know who tied their dog to the back of their bumper.
The dog kept up for the first mile or two; but after that he couldn't run anymore to keep up with the car.

The story is complete bull because it is 1.5 weeks old, late to the game as usual around here.
It is a sort of 'bait story', to make sure that MS is in the wrong and the bashing can continue.
Here is a nice one also of a million dollar yacht and luckily the crew doesn't get swept off the bow.

It is not always the first wave that gets you,it is when you start heading down the back of it and go into this deep valley of water.
That is pretty gnarly and I would have body surfed it in.

Also cell phones have become a lot cheaper and text messaging is on the craze right now.
A fellow worker has a 14 year old daughter that racked up a $300 text messaging bill, it is almost like 'instant messaging' with them.
They would treat just like a pit maneuver and if the police executed it in a safe manor where there is not a lot of traffic or pedestrians around. Send officer ahead to slow down traffic ahead so you don't have any fast moving oncoming cars.

Hell just send him to one of those Texas chain gangs where they constantly have to go out in the heat and work the shovel.
