The Chile is the official state vegetable and they can get pretty hot, err, picante. More info here
So I thought that NM might have a low rate of cancer mortality especially prostate (because I know more men versus women who like hot chiles). Well my quick search uncovered no such pattern. It seems that NM ranks fairly high in mortalilties from cancer. I can only think this is so because of the number of *poor* in rural areas and lack of medical care available.
That and we have LANL and people LIVE there! Also White sands missle range. I'm surprised this whole state isn't all glowy at night.
You're saying that the dark roasted Sumatra I enjoy three cups daily of is swill for pigs? Then you state you *hate* coffee. What in the hell do you know about coffee and coffee quality? Hint: if it comes in a can it is crap.
If Costa Ricans drink coffee that is like the bean labeled costa rica then I should say they drink weaker coffee than I. My caveat, I am of Italian hertitage and I brew a freaking strong cup.
Although I think your comment that other populations were not tested but included in the results is right on.
Your Arcade was in the Mall? Man, I can't count the times I trudged out route 50 to the small building next to the eletric station. No sidewalks. This was in northern Virginia, so it could be raining and usually was. Zaxxon, Donkey Kong, Joust, Dig Dug, Centipede. Whew! take me back.
Then Tron and Spy hunter came out. I worked at a drug store and they had Spy Hunter. After my shift I would spend a couple of quarters. Would have spent more but I was at work.
It's been many years since I have played Air Hockey but I reckon I'm still a mean player.
The reason it's illegal is because it also blocks police and fire department radios and the cell phones of people dying of strokes in the bathroom.
But the fittest will be able to get out of the bathroom. Yay! Darwinism wins! I see so many people yakking and driving that I am waiting for my state to pass a law and then it's insurance Bingo!
Have you seen the 1960 Time Machine? All the news I could find about the latest production made it sound like any other movie with big whiz bang explosions.
The director Simon Wells was replaced at some point with Gore Verbinski. Thus earning the film such reviews as this and this, and this and this..
I think it is wonderful when a movie doesn't ruin the books story. The 1960 Time Machine of the did just that.
The Time Machine of 2002 did not. H. G. Wells spun in his grave
I think I am correct in stating that a traditional CCD only sees one colour while the X3 CCD sees three. At a given resolution the X3 will seem sharper compared to a regular CCD at the same resolution.
Still we' re loosing two thirds of an image by using standard CCDs.
What this means (in my mind) is that traditional CCDs throw away two thirds of the image data and the software makes up that missing data. I.E. Take three pixels; one captured the red, the next blue, and the third green. The SW looks at the blue and green to determine how much of those colours should be in the red pixel and likewise for the blue pixel and the green pixel. So yeah, while the pics made with digital cameras look good they're only one third real.
But the X3 CCD by being able to image all three colours (red, green, blue) in each pixel creates a sharper image and one truer to the original scene.
I think I was twelve when I heard that loud music could damage my hearing. I believed it too after an album side played at high volume.
That ringing in your ears when the music stops? That's temporary hearing loss. Listen to enough loud music/sounds and you will have that ringing all the time. Just ask Pete Townsend and Bill Clinton.
I am happy that I never went to many concerts. I've been to a few. Never sat up close. My cat is almost never too quiet for me to hear him getting into stuff - from my bedroom. Although the cat tries.
I would label this complaint as idiocy. Put it right up there with the woman who spilled hot coffee on herself and sued (yes that is not a good, 100 percent comparison, but RTFA before slamming me, please). Perhaps this is more like smokers who die from complications of smoking and their families sue. Did they ever really encourage their deceased loved one from smoking? Did the smoker ever really try to quit? As a former smoker myself I realize it can be very hard to quit but it can be done.
Some people like pain. I don't. If something I like hurts me I try and change something about it so it doesn't hurt or quit it.
Idiots. Idiots all around. They can be identified when they utter: I knew it would hurt/be wrong and I did it anyway and refuse to deal with the consequences.
They've been doing this for years now with humans.
Yes, I saw a program on Dicsovery years ago but I cannot find it on their site. Basically, some Siberian Doctors were using the Winter weather to induce hypothermia in patients undergoing open-heart-surgery. Here's a report from 2001 and Another report from 2002

If my friend had net access I'm sure he still wouldn't care as media player does mostly what he wants. He just complains about what it doesn't do or do well.
My friend likes to tell me which app will do which task and how I should try it. But it's Windows only. I keep telling him "I'm not going to do any work in Windows. I only installed it to play games with you. I am sure there is something for Linux for such and such a task".
Last time I told him how I could play wmv, avi, afi, mpeg, mpeg4, dvd, vcd, and mov files with ONE app. He's starting to get an interest in Linux. Sooner or later he'll get sick of M$ and I'll be there.
Recent Simpson's episodes are still better than 99% of the crap on TV and this is one of the very few shows I make an effort to watch.
Here, here! There are episodes I have seen so many times that I turn off the TV and do something else. There are episodes that just hit the spot for me, and I will watch them over and over.
Family Guy, as others have pointed out, is akin to fart jokes. No thanks.
Futurama was soon a viewing requirement. At least it was released on DVD. The sales of which let the studios what people are really watching.
Other than those there is not much on TV to spend my time watching. I listen to a lot of public radio. I am listening now. The station here has really varied programming.
Slashdot Mirror
The "Classic" OS did the same. It wasn't fully PowerPC native till 8.5.
I'm not running a 64bit OS but...
Yup, shockwave. TFA has it wrong. If it had been stated correctly that it was shockwave I wouldn't have wasted my time. Otherwise I was curious.

They're illegal because they can interfere with pacemakers
Like microwave ovens.
or car ignitions
or lots of other equipment that have the potential.
The reason it's illegal is because it also blocks police and fire department radios and the cell phones of people dying of strokes in the bathroom.

Make a snap decision. Research shows making quick choices are often better than prolonged study of the problem/purchase

I read about this 3-4 years ago in Discover Magazine.
X3 is a CCD technology by Foveon Inc. that captures all three colours instead of one per pixel as traditional CCDs do.
What this means (in my mind) is that traditional CCDs throw away two thirds of the image data and the software makes up that missing data. I.E. Take three pixels; one captured the red, the next blue, and the third green. The SW looks at the blue and green to determine how much of those colours should be in the red pixel and likewise for the blue pixel and the green pixel. So yeah, while the pics made with digital cameras look good they're only one third real.
But the X3 CCD by being able to image all three colours (red, green, blue) in each pixel creates a sharper image and one truer to the original scene.
Wikipedia knows about X3
Sigma Corp. makes two camera with X3 CCDs. When I finally go digital in photography I'm getting one of these.

I've been saying since the 80's "almost only counts in horseshoes and nuclear war". Grenades are so local in effect.
