Neither B&N nor Amazon see fit to display the TOC for this book. If somebody knows of somewhere it's listed could you post that here? I'd especially like to know if 1/3 of the book is appendices we don't need.
Good review, BTW. Too bad about the book's cover. What's up with that? Although it did make me think of the Brazil dream sequences. Perfect for those dreary winter afternoons in the cubicle farm.
He picked locks. He made phone calls. He wandered around the building, awlking off with physical objects. This didn't involve breaking into any computers.
And which version was crashing all the time and on what architecture? Come on man - give us some details - don't just whine about it. What was happening before it crashed?
Most guys raped are guys for there first time locked up, between the ages 18-30 that looks young, not strong, looks lonely, scared. Guys watch these things.

I was "rented out" for sexual favors, and a lot of the guys who rented me are not rapists, or assaulted as children, or any other stereotypical model. They just wanted some sexual satisfaction, even though they knew I was not deriving pleasure from it, and was there only because I was forced to. . . . I was with the Valluco (Valley) crowd, so I was only passed around to them for free. D. Town Hispanics had to pay. They were charged $3 for a blow-job, $5 for anal sex.

I didn't know how the prison system work, so this inmate come up to the A & O unit and gives me three packs of cigarettes, I didn't know where they came from, or why they was given to me, I took the cigarettes, two weeks later I was placed in population, and here come this big old guy name [M], telling me that I belong to him because he had bought me, and had the same guy there who had brought me the cigarettes to verify it.

Often the victim will be tied up on a bed, face down and sold until the debt is finished or until the novelty is gone.

His stories, along with John Lear's, are way too inconsistent and, well, kind of childish. The miltary battling Greys armed with lasers 1000 feet below ground. The same military developing missiles with which to penetrate to the aliens' deep bases under the US.
but just for the inner glove. Have a heavy-duty sort of spandex inner glove which runs all the way up the arm inside the suit wher it attahces at the shoulder region. Then attach the outer glove at the wrist as normal but leave it unpressurized. That could improve dexterity somewhat.
The thing i'm wondering about is heat loss. The outer glove would still be insulated, just not built to maintain pressure. But a vaccuum isn't going to be the best thing to help with that insulation, i would imagine.
Anyone understand this better than me? We could split the $250k...
At least, that's what i got from your subject line.
The thing is, the programmers at google have a lot of time and resources gifted to them in order to play. Obviously, someone there thought it would be neat to put this together for the anniversary of the first moon landings. Obviously, it's a bit of a hack. I think it's a pretty cool thing for someone there to have done. I also think it's fantastic for the company to put it live.
However, i do not have a problem with the fact that it does not locate many of the fascinating spots on the moon. I don't care that it does not include the entire surface of the moon. I'm not bothered that the resolution isn't down to 1 meter. I am, however, bothered by the cynicism (you think i'm being cynical?!?) that pervades many of the follow-up posts to articles about somebody doing something neat just for the hell of it.
I'll say it once again: if you really think this should be expanded upon, get off your ass and do it instead of complaining that it's so close and yet so far. Personally, i agree that a google moon could be amazing. I've even thought of a few more ideas today. However, you showed a complete lack of respect in your post.
Really, get off your high horse. Someone at google probably put this together on their own time. It's clever and a nice way to salute the anniversary. I'm sure they know all about the other interesting landing sites but could only do so much.Complaining because you don't think it's complete is very lame. If you feel so strongly about it why don't you shut yer hole and build it yourself.

So often, when looking up info on some, er, unsavory person, google has the namebase link on the first page. Namebase is great but i don't have a registration so for me it's only good for cross-referencing.
yeah, i'm talking to you, slack-jaw. Novak called Rove for 'confirmation' on the story. After mentioning the details about Ms Plame, Rove said, "I heard that, too." That's the sort of handjob operation politicians and the press engage in all the time. He leaked. If he had any sense he would have told Novak nothing and then got on the phone to Tenet. Hell, the call to Rove was probably all worked out between Rove and whoever leaked to Novak in the first place.
And besides, why would Rove have this information about Plame? If you're an American, you should be feeling *very* uneasy about the people running things right now. They have shown themselves to be utter shitbags and they cannot be trusted.

low-altitude flight over Camp David or Junior's 'ranch'* a once in a lifetime experience, i'll bet.

just in the past week or two i've seen that one popping up in the press. I like the Vanity Fair one better, though. Very Hepburn.
