People are sketchy enough about putting a nuclear reactor on a rocket. Try telling them that you want to load up tons of nuclear waste on a rocket that could potentially explode. I'm sure they'll go for it.
What I want to know is: will this search engine conver content in MSN groups?
I am a member of an MSN group. What I (and everyone else in the group) am always complainging about is the lack of a "Search" button. The forums are getting filled up with things that have already been asked/posted because of this. Not to mention trying to go back and find a specific post.
MSN Groups has to be the poorest excuse for a service I've ever seen. If you aren't using IE (ActiveX enabled), you can't put emoticons in your post. It won't translate the standard text-based ones. The layout is very archaic... want to find a photo album? You have to go through what has become 10 pages... changing the page with a drop-down list. (Just "Page 1", "Page 2", etc.) I should end this rant here, it's starting to get off-topic.
Cellulose acetate butyrate is known to be flammable and iron oxide is well-known to react with aluminium powder. In fact, iron oxide and aluminium are sometimes used as components of solid rocket fuel or thermite. (However, the oft-cited claim that the ship was "coated in rocket fuel" is a significant overstatement.) While the coating components were potentially reactive, they were separated by a layer of material that should have prevented the reaction from starting.
That reminds me. Open up a command window in 95, load up QB. Run POKE 8, 8. The command window will immediately terminate. (I *think* it was 8. The location and value are exactly the same).
Honeybees are so much smaller than dinosaurs, I don't think we can really compare their adapting speed, ability and mobility.
Interesting point. I would like to see an experiment done where they create a post-impact environment and see how the bees thrive. Of course, the hardest part would be trying to get as much of the ecosystem into the environment as possible... there could be any number of contributing factors to the bees' survival.
The question is... how well will you function after being in that environment for 3 years? Sleeping in shifts seems almost critical... you'd have to exercise or I think your muscles would suffer (but then again, IANADoctor).
Half VGA Screen means half of the VGA resolution, 640x240. To quote:
"By composing a new pixel with the sub-pixel on the adjacent scanning line, 480x640 (VGA) resolution can be attained from a 240x640 (half VGA) panel. The device can display up to 260K colors for TFT panels in mobile phones."
While your post is quite funny, paint is not the way to go when altering the color of plastic. It will chip off eventually. Vynil dye is supposed to be the best method of coloring plastic. It soaks into the plastic and supposedly won't show scratches.
I may just be pointing out the obvious, but look at the "first found" entries on that printout:

Now someone try and tell me that that's just a really fast monkey that managed to parse 3 files in less than a second. Or perhaps that could explain the fact that they missed the filesizes on these "movies."
File server? Check out prices of 120G laptop drives vs. 120G desktop drives. Nup.
I know they make 2.5" -> 3.5" converters so you can use laptop drives in a desktop system with IDE channels. It would make sense that you can go the other way... it just would be a bit messy (maybe mount the 3.5" drive where the battery or floppy was? Each has a tradeoff...) Aside from that, it's just an issue of powering an IDE drive. You would need to derive both 12v and 5v power sources from the input power, which could be done with some basic electronic skills...
Ground water dosn't "tip." The lake is moving because part of the landscape on one side of the lake is rising. Naturally, the water tries to move downhill as the hill rises.
"If everything stayed just as it is right now, we could probably survive it, because even with broadband it takes at least an hour to bring down a movie. But I visited the labs at Caltech, and they're running an experiment called FAST where they can bring down a DVD-quality movie in 5 seconds. The director told me it could be operative in the market in 18 months. Well, my face blanched."
So what is this magical technology that lets one download a DVD in 5 seconds? Something to do with Internet2? Anyone?

I was thinking more along the lines of Etch-a-sketch...
Only in DOS.
It was on an old Packard Bell. Windows 95, 3MB RAM (yes, *3* megs), and a 540MB hard drive.
I opened up good 'ol QBasic, and did this:
DIRLOOP:
MKDIR "T"
CHDIR "T"
GOTO DIRLOOP
It crapped out after 40 or so subdirectories. It was funny to see C:\T\T\T\T\T\T\T\T...[lameness filter lookout!]...T\T\T> when I exited.
Of course, this was before I discovered the DELTREE command. I did a lot of "cd..", "rd t". A *lot* of it.
Yeah, until everyone goes home for the evening.

Our technology associates multitouch capabilities with visual display.
*snip*
What do you mean by "Multitouch capabilities"?
It means that it allows the use of multiple fingers at once, thanks to its multitouch sensitive LCD.

Dunno why they called it the Bonneville crater though...
(Note to mods: lame attempt at humor)
It's a USB Thash-jumping-penchain memory drive, or USB TJPM for short.
What?
After getting slashdotted:
Someone set us up the bomb!
I think my head just exploded.

Wow, this mouse has force-feedback! But why is the cursor buzzing around like that? I can't click anything!
