Clearly you have never visited Ontario, Oregon. Well, let me be the first to say that they have a kickass RV dealership there. Next time you have some vacation coming up, check out Ontario. Just remember to thank me when you get back.
That's right. It makes me wince when I go to Safeway see row upon row of toxic "food" filled with hydrogenated oils. People are actually putting this crap in their bodies.
This once again is a classic example how a group of human beings, who individually may be fine upstanding citizens, collectivly turn into an untrustworthy and unethical entity.
If you use your own muscles' tension to create resistance to a given motion, as in say a military press, you can build strength in the same muscle groups as with the traditional, weighted equivalent, but in my experience it's wasted effort compared to just lifting heavy weights with low repetitions, or the more difficult bodyweight exercises like one-armed pushups and one-legged squats.
These latter two types of strength exercises are more efficient strength builders than pure tension exercises like the one you describe because they are less apt to "burn out" the muscles when done properly. Believe me, I used to do kung-fu type tension exercises as a kid and I can say they accomplished very little for the amount of effort I put into them. They're more of a supplement to real training.
Get Pavel Tsatsouine's book, The Naked Warrior, and start practicing the bodyweight exercises if you don't want to use weights--you'll be a believer in no time.
IBM could have still won but IBM screwed up. The company that deserves the blame for the death of OS/2 is IBM not Microsoft. IBM as a company could not commit to a direction different divisions had different goals and were attempting to accomplish different things.
I read (on Slashdot, of all places) that the commercial failure of OS/2 came down to a faulty master disk that somehow escaped detection when Warp got rolled out after IBM's huge ad campaign. I remember the ads even after all these years.
They made it sound like the best thing since the wheel, but all those people bought the OS, installed it, and nothing happened (or so the story goes.) Even though it was, in it's corrected form, vastly superior to Windows 95, the experience soured most people on OS/2 and IBM was fucked.
It's one of those melancholy "what if" scenarios that tech history is replete with.
Somebody should celebrate the Cuban Revolution by shooting off the top of Castro's head and shitting in his brain cavity, then everyone can rejoice, especially the families of his victims.
And the ISS needs this flight too. badly. (they`ve run out of beer).
Actually, it's vodka. The Russians set the standard on purely practical grounds; a given mass of vodka will last a substantially longer time than the same mass of beer.
Not only that, but beer-belches cause CO2 levels to rise dangerously in the cramped spaces found on spacecraft. For these reasons, as well as simple deference to the cultural sensibilities of the Russians on international crews, vodka is the beverage of choice for our men in orbit.
If Battlefield 1942 was fought in IIWW realia, shouldn't Battlefield 2 be located, say, in Roman Empire, the unrests caused by king Herod, barbarians' attacks from the north, this kind of stuff, when Jesus was a 2-year-old child?
A direct hit to a Humvee's front wheels should either disable it or dramatically affect its speed and controllability. A shot to the real rotor of an Apache should send it careening out of control.
Developers probably thought it would take too many CPU cycles. You're right, though.
Not true - Germany developed and used the first chemical weapons in WW1.
Check your chronology there, G Money. This website indicates otherwise. Looks like France gets the blue ribbon. And as for chemical attacks specifically targeted against civilian populations, the winner is glorious enlightened Great Britain.
Here's a choice bit by Winston Churchill on the practice of dropping gas bombs on Kurds: "I do not understand this sqeamishness about the use of gas. I am strongly in favour of using poison gas against uncivilised tribes." Go Winnie and Saddam!
Don't forget all of their gleefully racist WW2 propaganda cartoons (i.e., "Wack a Jap.") For that, I'll gladly boycott them until the end of time. Not to mention their permanent Micky Mouse copyright.
This is going to be a real problem for Mac software, because most of it isn't frame limited, and isn't designed to run this fast. You'll be typing a sentence in a word processor, and before you know it, the cursor will have zoomed off and crashed into the right hand edge of the window.
Just put some foam cushioning on the right side of the sceen bezel and you should be good to go.
Where's your reference for this "fact"? It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I don't believe you. This is mostly a myth as far as I've ever been able to figure out.
Not at all. This article describes the situation at Altamount Pass in California. These are older, small-diameter and therefore high-RPM type turbines. As the article and countless others like it shows, they do kill birds, including hundreds of raptors. It is this very sort of turbine that one is likely to see in residential or urban applications. As you can see, the methology for determining bird mortality with any sort of turbine is simple: count the bodies. With the smaller turbines, there are many. With the larger one, there are few, because the birds can see the blades and avoid them. This is also well-documented, just look.
How did you jump to the conclusion that I am opposed to wind power in general based upon my misgivings about wind power in built-up areas?
And tin reply to your question: Many birds would be saved by replacing coal plant with wind turbines. Given the sundry collateral costs of coal-power, such as immense air pollution in the form of SO2, CO2, and CO, to say nothing of the radionucleides that get released from the coal, and the human and animal diseases caused by same; water pollution from mine tailings in coal-producing regions; deforestation and long-term ecological damage caused by strip-mining; mortality among coal miners, which is very, very high in the developing world; logistical costs of moving coal over long distances, all of which add up to make coal more expensive and less desirable than it appears, for avian and human beings alike.
Suggestion: PCI card slot fans. They're extremely cheap (4 USD) and quiet. Put one in a slot adjacent to your high-end video card. I added one and my case temp dropped by four degrees.
Well, it isn't my book, but I suggest you check my link to the John Taylor Gatto site, beneath my nick. His magnum opus on the history of American education is available to read online or for purchase of a hard copy. You'll find that it's anything but a hack piece.
Well, to be fair to Jesus, he did have the foresight to say that his ministry would bring strife. Strife, that is, between the people who adopt his doctrine of pacifism and the fanatics who prey upon them.
Perversely, many of the people inclined to prey upon the pacifists now call themselves "Christian."
Well, you must admit Cookie Monster has a great death metal voice. He ought to put together a superband with Oscar the Grouch on drums, the Count on bass, and Elmo on guitar. Imagine a cover of Sepultura's "War for Territory," revised with appropriate G-rated lyrics. I'd pay to hear Cookie Monster growl, "War for Chocolate Cookie!"

Hell, yeah. Anybody remember this study?
Well, I happen to disagree with your post, but damn that sig is cool.

What kind of default weapon does Jesus get?
Developers probably thought it would take too many CPU cycles. You're right, though.
Interesting. While I've never played BF1942, the feature was present in Operation: Flashpoint.
I sort of got a morbid kick out of seeing who killed me, but multiplayer afficionados would see things differently.
Sure, if you don't consider the 400-plus billion we spend annually on "defense." It's a collossal subsidy.

For great justice!

Of course, that could be a bonus if we're talking about pigeons.

Somebody send the parent a cigar. This may be the first time somebody on Slashdot has exhorted another to "RTFB!" Magnificent.

That would rock.
