I had a disposable lighter explode (left it on the dashboard, Doh!). The nasty sharp shards went all over the inside of the car, making me glad I wasn't in the car when it went off.
Alternatively, you can get a nitrous oxide kit fitted. BIG power increase for those rare occasions when you need it( zooming away from lights to impress girls )and stock engine for the rest of the time.
How come these rockets didn't fly? The development cost was gazillions, the huge manufacturing costs were paid for, was it really just to save a few (million?) bucks that they didn't launch the last appollos? What did the government p!ss away the money they 'saved' on?
Any company that whines about people making copies of their product, whether music or software, should offer to replace any damaged or stolen disks. If they don't do that then they should STFU.
Alternatively, their customers should be able to limit what the vendor does with the customer's money. 'You can only keep this money as dollars, you cannot electronically transmit these funds.If this check is not as good as it seemed when it was accepted that is your problem" etc.
Where the crimminny blink do you live? There are increasing numbers of freaking traffic lights everywhere 'up north'.
I am sick of sitting at red lights in the early hours while a road empty of cars has the green light.
In the uk we have robot cameras at set distances apart which read your license plate (visually, not rfid yet) and work out your speed, then, if you are speeding, they look up your name and address on the government vehicle ownership database and you get a fine/court summons/etc through the post. Hooray for progress.
You can have a HUD in your car today by merely fitting a sloping sheet of glass into your line of sight (Hey! Wait a minute!!!!) and projecting onto it. Like a 60 year old gunsight.
You can run your car on whatever you like in the UK as long as
a) you pay the relevant road fuel duty tax.
b) you don't exceed the pollution levels.
Sadly, since most of the cost of UK fuel is tax, this makes biodiesel no cheaper than DERV.
This sounds like BS. What pressure? Is the fuel system sealed when the cap is on? If so, what happens when fuel is pumped away and used as you drive? What happens when you drive the car out of a warm garage into a snowstorm and the air/vapour mix in the tank cools and contracts? How is the tank repressurised when the engine is restarted?
I will be very impressed if I am proved wrong, though.
And this sounds more or less feasible than 'shadow' photons interfering with 'ordinary' ones?
"the photon occupies all slits, until you look for it"
Why is this more likely than multiple universes?
I think Deutsch says that the shadow photons cannot be viewed by us directly, only the effects they have on our photons, and the whole point is that it is an alternative theory to the current laws of physics.
It can't be as bizarre as wave/particle duality and quantum packets, surely?
Uh... so when the slits are open then a single photon can pass wavelike through them all and interfere with itself but if the slits are replaced by detectors then the photon can only hit one of them as it isn't a wave any more. Yeah, Good, much more convincing than multiple universes.
Safes are much cheaper than you might think. Get the type that is sunk in concrete in the floor and it is incredibly difficult to crack (petrol stations love them).Make the bastards work to get your money.
U.S : evil people with guns, check. Good guys with guns, check.
U.K : evil people with guns, check. Good guys with guns, nope.
Conclusion: You are much safer in the U.K.
And therefore : Profit!
That's what i was thinking.
Who needs p2p when everyone can have gmail accounts with 1gig of mp3?
"I keep copies of my stuff off-site in case my cd's get stolen, it's not my fault if other people guess my password is the same as my username!"
Employers don't give a hoot whether work gets done, they will keep a lazy worker who shows up on time over a latecomer who produces more units. As long as you LOOK like you are working, you don't need to produce anything. If a telecommuter is not visible by cttv or webcam then he cannot be seen to be working and therefore management doesn't like it.
So? You can skim the head of an engine to increase the compression ratio but the displacement of the engine stays the same.
You can't make an engine vary between 249 and 998 cc by altering the compression ratio although you can make a 998cc engine perform like a 249cc by increasing the volume of the combustion chamber.
"head with variable displacement"??????????
That wouldn't affect the capacity of the engine, which as any fule kno, is swept volume (although big arguments when you try to measure swept volume in a rotary engine!).
So mp3's are:
a) so easy to send through wires that the evil filesharers are bankrupting the entertainment industry.
b) so difficult to send through wires that you can't make a profit on a $12 album when you have no physical artifacts to produce/ship/display/wrap.
interesting.
Clearly iTunes has a massive hidden overhead such as mind control waves broadcast from low earth orbit stealth satellites (how can a broadcast satellite possibly be 'stealth'? The money goes in bribes to radio astronomers!).

Erm, yeast makes alcohol, brewer's yeast anyway.

I have aa nokia 6800. I can thumb-type on the fip-open keyboard pretty good, I just can't afford to use the email facility.

No they don't. not at low speed. Compare a b47 with a vulcan or croncord.

I like 'Little Britain', but I just went and bought a DVD of '15 Stories High', the second series of which aired recently.
