the Q7 fits inside your ear without a clip going over it; it has a small rubber piece that bends within the contours of your ear to keep it stable, which looks kind of strange but is actually quite comfortable.
So it's not that big, and the part with the "antenna" goes in your (outer) ear.
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking And racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say
Sendmail was more useful as a litmus test than as an MTA
The entity that was Sendmail, last manifestation of Chaos which would remain with this new distribution as it grew, looked down on the corpse the system administrator and smiled.
'Farewell, friend. I was a thousand times more evil than thou!'
And then it leapt from NetBSD and went spearing upwards, its wild voice laughing mockery at System Security; filling the universe with its unholy joy.
On that very page -- right after the table of everyday G forces -- is a link to a Popular Mechanics article which in turn references "a classic medical study published nearly a decade ago in the medical journal Spine", which most likely is available on PubMed should anyone want to check it out.
Now let me quote from the PM article (emphasis mine):
Time Matters
When discussing the effects of g-forces on the body, time emerges as one of the most critical factors. When it comes to the higher-g sections of amusement rides (see the illustration above right), exposure to high g-forces lasts only a fraction of a second. Blackouts and other health problems associated with g's require exposure to g-forces that are either greater in magnitude or of much longer duration than those achieved by today's amusement rides.
The issue of g-forces on the body was explored in detail in a classic medical study published nearly a decade ago in the medical journal Spine. In their investigation, doctors and engineers found that the normal movements we go through every day subjects us to far greater gravitational pull than that felt on any amusement park ride. According to the study, you experience 10.4 g's when you plop down into a chair. Hopping off a step generates 8.1 g's. A cough is a 3.5 g experience, a sneeze generates 2.9 g's. By comparison, 4-g amusement rides are wimpy.
So, you see, it doesn't matter if you agree or not, those are the facts.
I would suggest a more humble approach in the future; there are still people around that can teach you a thing or two, young padawan.
It actually states in the article (and even the./ summary!) that the cabin for humans won't be doing over 12.5Gs, so the point is moot.
On the other hand, why don't we let this thread go where it wants to? Just because you made a joke doesn't mean the rest of the thread has to be a joke as well.
The judge admires Admiral Jackie Fisher, who developed battleship HMS Dreadnought, which launched in February 1906, 100 years before the case began.
In a statement, Mr Justice Smith said: "The message reveals a significant, but now overlooked event that occurred virtually 100 years to the day of the start of the trial."
Formula One race car driver David Purley survived an estimated 179.8 g in 1977 when he decelerated from 107 mph (172 km/h) to 0 in a distance of 26 inches (66 cm) after his throttle got stuck wide open and he hit a wall. He suffered 29 fractures, 3 dislocations and 6 heart-stoppages.
The point is, nearly nobody names things originally. If the translator gives me a name for a station that ends up being "Small night-blooming flower native to the planet this station orbits found only in the high reaches of the southern hemisphere during the correct season", it's not a name I'm going to keep using but it at least shows that they gave naming it some thought. Those stations that aren't named "Outward Station" "Border Station" "Station for the Inspection of Others" and such are nearly always named after the planet they orbit, and if the species is native to that planet, that name is always "Dirt". So there are even more Dirt Stations than there are Outward Stations.
When the Sonic Wind had hit the water brake, it had produced 46.2 Gs of force. And for an astonishing 1.1 seconds, Stapp'd endured 25 Gs. It was the equivalent of a Mach 1.6 ejection at 40,000 feet, a jolt in excess of that experienced by a driver who crashes into a red brick wall at over 120 miles per hour. Only it had lasted perhaps nine times longer. And it had burst nearly every capillary in Stapp's eyeballs.

Well, I hear it's fine if you got the time and the ten to get yourself in. And I hear it's tight most every night, but now I might be mistaken.
Ah have mercy.

LOAD the Paper Cassette with LETTER sized paper
Yeah, that's what I said:
Other than that, I think your divinations are basically correct.
Of course they have.
Primus: They don't have to go, it's a voluntary event.
Secundo: They don't want their software to interoperate with anything else than their software.
Tertio: Profit? As in "What's in it for Microsoft?"
So, it's perfectly reasonable of Microsoft to "boycott" the event. It's what you'd expect them to do.
Cryptic summaries of ephemeral events... I thought it said "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters."
Good thing Rob Halford didn't think of that as a title... :)

On that note, the words "instantaneous" and "sustained" might be of interest to you. You'll find them in any online or offline dictionary.
Isn't it ironic that you call your blog anti-idiots?

Relax, and enjoy das blinkenlights
There's a reason we have different spelling for words that sound alike, and that's because they mean different things.
Dreadnought ~ "Fearless"
Astronaught ~ "Starless"?
I was trying to think of a joke about astronaughts (Star zeroes? Those not astronauts?) but I guess sunday morning coffee hasn't taken effect yet...
Sorry for being a nitp(r)ick. Your meeting with Don Pettit is very interesting, and confirms my belief that astronauts are indeed very fit.
Here you go: l :)

2004 National Novel Writing Month winning "The Journal of Alan Ledford" by Roger Ostrander has a similar thought:

PC LOAD LETTER? What the f*** does that mean?
Just in case that was a real question, it means Load the Paper Cassette with Letter sized paper.
