I always get a kick out of the "But 40 years ago, scientists said it was going to be an Ice Age" types.
Just about 40 years ago, I attended a low end Community College. My Chemistry prof actually had copies of a few of the "Ice Age" magazines. Which he relentlessly made fun of as being Journalists not understanding when they were interviewing crackpots. He was certain of the green house effect, and talked about how in a closely coupled system that had reached a relative stability, it would cause some wicked oscilations throughout the "bread basket" regions of the planet. He didn't use the phrase "Global Climate Change," But it's certainly what he was talking about. He also was talking about the hole in the Ozone layer & CFCs. In 1980.
Agree with the premise of certain types of tones definitely being speaker killers. BUT, JBL builds easily damaged drivers. I've got a pair of 36" JBL cellular horns. The 50w JBL drivers weigh about 8 pounds each & were nothing but trouble. Replaced them with 50w Altec Lansing drivers that weigh over 30 pounds each. That was in 1993. Haven't had a problem since...
And to n3r0.m4dski11z, the 4632 handles the following wattages: LF: 800W MF: 200W HF: 50W It's probably the 50W HF driver that goes. Those ones look about 1/2 the size of the 50 watters I had, that were consistently releasing the magic smoke...

Isn't it supposed to be about *average* temperature change? ie: 17f colder in the winter,19f warmer in the summer, equals an average of 2f warmer, but is insanely miserable, year round?
Don't really know that much about it, but this makes sense to my tiny brain...
Not only do they exist, they're kind of interesting tech. The camera has a *visible* light filter, right next to it is a high power IR light. That keeps them able to read plates at night, with out getting blinded by headlights. The system ties into the in car laptop. When it hits, if their are other windows in the foreground, it beeps a couple times, then if no action is taken, pushes itself to the top. Around here, they use cellular internet, to continuosly upload all the data to computers at the station. No data retention policy, either...
Know several people that have been pulled over / arrested for unpaid / late payments on traffic tickets. Got my car stolen, they drove it 7 miles & walked away, took over a month for them to find it sitting there, legally parked...

I use Firefox for my browsing, Epiphany for facebook & chrome for google services. For all intents & purposes, this is how a lot of people use a single browser. 2 or 3 windows, with 1/2 a dozen (or 50) tabs in each. My windows are just different applications, isolated from each other... If I want to browse a link I see in the google or facebook windows, I copy & paste it to the browse window.
If I'm going someplace I'm really concerned about, I pop in a live cd of my favorite low profile distro, puppy linux, & reboot without saving when done...

1.) A while back I needed some extra cash, so I took several paper routes. The newspaper is the main one for the area I live in, they charge 75 retail. However, it turns out that NONE of this money goes back to the publisher. The money collected from home delivery, machine sales & retail store sales is divided up this way: The Route manager gets a 1/3, the truck driver gets a 1/3 & the point of distribution(paper boy, store, machine filler) gets a 1/3. The publisher takes nothing, they get all their money from the ads.
2.) Some time ago I co-owned a small retail store. We sold a few magazines. We paid for the first month of all the mags we wanted to sell, then nothing more for as long as we were in business. I was a bit confused by this, so asked many questions of the distributor. He said: most mags work this way. The publisher makes their money from the ads & gives them to the distributor, often paying the distributor a small amount per mag "placed." Some stores actually get paid for placement of certain mags, in addition to keeping all the cover price. Subscriptions work the same way, which is why publisher's clearing house can have such a huge sweepstakes prize.
And they don't have any idea of how many people looked at the ad on page 147, more less even went to the manufacturer's website or looked for the product at the grocery store. My understanding is that web ads, while gleaning much more customer info, are far cheaper. It doesn't make sense to me...
So, the Military has multi-million dollar radar systems, operated by a team of specialists, that think a 30,000 pound airplane is a bumble bee. But a hand-held unit costing a few grand & operated by Officer Bubba is infallible?

HTC tilt via the "hidden" internet conection sharing & usb (winmo & windows xp (yeah, I know - boo, hiss!)) - standard internet plan 13 dBi antenna from ebay (cellgear-usa) Went from 30-60kbps & 650+ ping, to minimum 150kbps(edge max) & 2-300 ping, popping up to 1.5mbps(3G) occasionally. On their advice, added a pizza pan as a ground plane(fiberglass motorhome). Goes 3G more often, but still not all the time. I'm going to get a longer cable & mount it up in a tree...
I'm no programmer, but wouldn't it be possible to make a program that randomly changes a few bits in a file every time it's up/downloaded? I know that wouldn't work for programs, (unless they were in a compressed archive, with an area of the file specifically set aside for "randomness" - another application entirely, but still doable?) but for a 2 hour video, a few pixels misplaced here or there wouldn't be a big deal?
Slashdot Mirror
whites make up 63 percent of the U.S.; Hispanics, 17 percent; blacks, 12.3 percent
so they're killing blacks at more than double the rate their population would suggest.
and whites are only getting killed at 1/2 their rate.

I am vision impaired & *had* a hard time with captchas.
Until I remembered that in firefox, ctrl+ zooms.
When I run into a captcha, I hit ctl+ a few times, fill out the captcha & submit.
Then I hit ctrl- a few times to get it back to the appropriate size. Yes, I know about ctrl0, but I already run most pages a little zoomed.
Every single person I have shown this to, vision impaired or not, no longer has a problem with captchas...
pass it on!
