The places where this has worked have high population density and less personal space. A teenager can watch TV in their room without disturbing their parents. People can watch TV on public transport. That kind of thing. It is less attractive in countries with low population densities.
Door A only opens when the airlock is empty and door B is closed. Door B only opens when door A is closed and people are in the airlock. Various cheap sensors determine whether the airlock has items in it. Human observer is a fall-back.
The elevator is actually a good idea. Press to go down. Elevator returns to the top automatically. Ultrasonic, infra red and weight sensors verify that the elevator is empty before it goes back up.
Kevin Rudd isn't sitting up in The Lodge scanning the opinions of contributors to this site. OTH he is surely paying close attention to public opinion and the opinions of certain members of parliament who hold the balance of power.
I think it is important to avoid giving Rudd and Conroy ammunition at this point. Do not behave like a bunch of idiots. Public opinion is fragile. I am reminded of the pilots dispute of almost 20 years ago. The Government swung public opinion their way early on and the pilots never had a chance.
Android uses chrome, the iPod uses Safari. Both browsers support small screens by letting the user drag the finger/pointer to pan. I am not aware of firefox doing this. It may be a trivial UI tweak but firefox won't work on a phone until it works.
Currently if I start firefox twice the second request goes to the first process. With a simple tweak you could allow the second process to start and get a multiprocessing firefox with perhaps a one line change.
I know thats not the point, but are we trying to go the long way around to our solution here? Sometimes it is best not to build an operating system into your application.
Maybe Belarus citizens could exploit a loophole intended for tourists if one exists. Otherwise I expect the ID card system to be pretty tightly administered.
Both rovers are so far past their design life that arguments like this are moot. A fan would not work because mars has hardly any atmosphere and anyway it would not have been needed for the design life.
So long Spirit, and thanks for all the science. You have done well.
My wife grew up in Malaysia and when she gets a cough she gets it for weeks
Has your wife had a Mantoux test recently?
Its a good suggestion and I will see what I can do. It is a delicate issue because her nephew was diagnosed with Fungal Meningitis last year. Very strange in an otherwise healthy 14 year old boy, and her father was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer and died during chemotherapy.
Tuberculosis was ruled out in both cases early on, and my wife's cough is definitely associated with viral infections but I suppose they could be agrivating the condition.
She doesn't have any other symptoms on the TB wikipedia page, but I will try to get her to see a doctor about it.
I can see why those people are angry. I have been a victim of violence here myself. As for cycling in Dubai this article is consistent with others I have read:
Dubai is not a very bicycle-friendly city but there are plenty of areas where you can ride, and it can be a great way to explore as well as keep fit. The pedestrian areas on both sides of the creek are pleasant places for a spin, especially in the evening, and riding through the souks can also be an experience. Clubs and groups of cyclists generally ride at the weekends, and early mornings and evenings when roads are quieter and the temperatures are cooler. If you have no choice but to ride in busy areas, exercise a lot of care and attention. Although helmets are not legally required, it is recommended that you wear one considering how crazy Dubai traffic can be. Outside the city limits the roads are flat until you near the mountains. Jebel Hafeet near Al Ain, the Hatta area of the Hajar Mountains, and the central area in the mountains near Masafi down to the coast at either Fujairah or Dibba, offer interesting paved roads with better views. The new road from Hatta through the mountains to Kalba on the east coast is probably one of the most scenic routes in the country.
The US should have responded to 9/11 by building a stupendous building on the WTC site. By that I mean they should build something which anybody else in the world considers utterly impossible. Five or 10 kilometres tall. The upper floors would of course belong to NORAD, with a big primary radar on the roof.
Thats an Australian PATHETIC LOSER GHETTO ASS thanks.
Abu Dhabi is sitting on 7 TRILLION dollars of money, real cash, they made from oil trade
There is more to life than money, and you should know that. My personal measure of a good city is one I can ride my bike around in reasonable safety. From what I have read, Dubai fails on that account.
You could launch sailplanes by dropping them from an upper storey, and have enough altitude to go off looking for lift. Hmmm I wonder if they encourage or prohibit parasailing.

Its not in the correct position.

Yep. Clear as mud.

Though I don't know what we would do with such a message. Might be a bit late to help.
Could someone fill me in what purpose that may be?
Because.
Plain html is a wonderful thing. And as he points out, it would be easy to write a cgi script which returns a specified block of digits.
I wonder if he has checked for the circle?

Yeah and my taxes subsidise trams, trains and buses. But I still have to buy a ticket for them.

I assume a valid ID card will be required to register.
I told you not to tell me that...

Its pretty dangerous, bot not as suicidal as it would be in Dubai.
Oh definitely. I ride a bike to work in Melbourne and I agree totally we have serious problems.

They have incredible population density, but no sewage system to speak of
Gee thats interesting. So how...
Never mind.
Higher population density makes for better public transportation
And because the public transportation is vertical it can be totally free without offending the free marketers.
