Borodin: Do you think they will let me live in Montana? Capt. Ramius: I would think they'll let you live wherever you want. Borodin: Good. Then I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman, and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pick-up truck, or umm... possibly even...a recreational vehicle, and drive from state to state. Do they let you do that? Capt. Ramius: Oh yes. Borodin: No papers? Capt. Ramius: No papers. State-to-state.
I know the Marines still have CH-46 helicopters in service that took battle damage in Vietnam. Some are 40 years + and none are less than 35 years old.
Saying "The design is sturdy (as opposed to a helicopter)" is really quite a statement since the design is not in service.
'Smith!' screamed the shrewish voice from the telescreen. '6079 Smith W.! Yes, you! Bend lower, please! You can do better than that. You're not trying. Lower, please! That's better, comrade. Now stand at ease, the whole squad, and watch me.'
A sudden hot sweat had broken out all over Winston's body. His face remained completely inscrutable. Never show dismay! Never show resentment! A single flicker of the eyes could give you away. He stood watching while the instructress raised her arms above her head and -- one could not say gracefully, but with remarkable neatness and efficiency -- bent over and tucked the first joint of her fingers under her toes.
Due to his long-running television and xylophone playing career, eccentric manner, distinctively rapid speech delivery and in later years his ever-present monocle, Moore is widely-recognised and well-respected in the United Kingdom, even by those with no interest in astronomy. This was used to great advantage for a 1976 April Fool's joke on BBC Radio 2, when Moore announced that at 9.47 am a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event was going to occur: Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, temporarily causing a gravitational alignment that would reduce the Earth's own gravity. Moore informed listeners that if they could jump at the exact moment that this event occurred, they would experience a temporary floating sensation. The BBC later received hundreds of phone calls from listeners claiming to have felt the sensation.
Moore joined the Flat Earth Society as an ironic joke though many have taken this seriously.
"Other posters joined in the internet discussion, asking whether Tom Cruise missiles are affected by wind. "No way," Keith joked. "Modern weapons are accurate to a matter of a few tens of yards."
So, does that make Tom Cruise a 'straight shooter'?

Ebay knows about this type of fraud and other types and they do very little to combat.
Go to ebay and do a search on 'wholesale list'. You will find people attepting to deceive the buyers, I'll even say that much of this is fraud.
I would bet that among the 'power sellers' (and others) there were organized 'teams' of people that artifically jack up the prices for profit.
Now, if ebay KNEW about these practices and did nothing to stop them, could they be found liable?
I have been a victim of Ebay fraud, complained and heard nothing back. I sucks, but I now expect that from both ebay and paypal.
"Last November eBay changed its rules to conceal bidders' identity making it even more difficult for customers to see whether sellers are bidding on their own lots."
What this also does is it keeps people that wish to help fix the problem from doing so. IE, I see an obvious fraud attempt on EBAY and try to contact the people that are about to be screwed. I can't do it.
But I was thinking, is this a possible way to launch orbiting vehicles? I first think no, as the initial force necessary to 'shoot' something into orbit would probably destroy any delicate instruments needed for a working satellite.
However, this seems very interesting as an Anti Satellite/"Star Wars" platform. If they can get the software working to intercept, this should (scaled up version) be able to knock out satellites, ballistic missiles, etc - shouldn't it?

"imploring movie fans to act ethically and resist the temptation to download pirated movies"
How about -
imploring the MPAA to act ethically and resist the temptation to download pirated emails.

I agree.
Won't it be funny when we find out that the *WRONG BOOK* was leaked?
Honeypot???
So, somebody MADE you read the spoilers?
I really doubt it. When this stuff happens the media reports it. that is advertising.
And for you folks that read this and/or the spoilers, too bad. You could have closed your eyes.
But hey, it is something.

Seems pretty cool though.

One of my yahoo addresses I have had for about 9 years. I just opened it up and looked:
Inbox - 7145 UNREAD messages (99% spam)
Bulk - 2547 UNREAD messages (about 99% spam)
Obviously, I don't use this account all that much. My point is that at least in my case, this extra storage will be just wasted.
I read this as a marketing move that really won't do a thing for me or many of the other users.
I'd bet that the warning sign is already there.
Here is everything you want to know about this interesting satellite:

There have been reports of people actually 'seeing' the laser as the satellite goes over:

New water holes way under the ice. Fun. I wonder if we will find even more 'new species' as was reported here:

How is this a bad thing?
