Actually, I was pretty sure that the d in d-day stood for "disembarkment" as in "disembarkment day" when the allied forces were to land on french soil.
According to the Coalition Advocating for Smart Transportation (CAST) poll, seven out of ten of the state's citizens support a switch to hybrids."
i'm not really sure why this is relevant. i'm not sure who wouldn't want hybrid cars -- the limiting factor isnt the amount of people who want them, its the money itll take to switch over to them. a more relevant statistic would be how many people who own taxis and taxi services that would like to switch...
It is true that the FDA's prudency has been good in certain cases, but the FDA's rejection of Thalidomide was something of luck. It turned out that the lady who was in charge of evaluating Thalidomide had refused to pass any drug or device whatsoever -- that is, she pretty much said no to anything. Did this lady's conservatism save lives? Yes. Overall was she responsible? Not completely.
I absolutely agree with your comment re:uploading. I used to leech a lot only because uploading would kill my download speeds.
However, now I upload all the time because I can limit my ul speeds so that my dl speeds aren't killed. I seed for days sometimes on bittorrent because its transparent.
I would most definitely not want a USB drive on a leatherman tool. Leatherman tools are designed to be robust, and most USB drives certainly are not -- what would you do if the drive broke? You'd be left with a crippled tool.
Moreover, the article never mentions that there have been cattle casualties. Also, the cows (a) look like they're sleeping and (b) certainly don't look like they've been struck down by any debris.
this is so stupid, it was on fark the other day.
gps requires line-of-sight to the skies in order to operate. plus, how the hell would one receieve data from these panties?
this is probably one of the most ridiculous slashdot stories ive ever seen.
I myself am personally a Mac user and a huge proponent of Macs in general, but I don't feel like Mac OS would be a good solution for the job. You would need an application for which the OS would be completely dedicated. Also, of course, the application would have to be very well written.
To that extent, one would argue that in airport applications, it is not the operating system's fault, but the software? Just a thought.
I actually saw this a while ago -- its majorly cool. Since the site is down, you might find it interesting to know that the page's creator is a woman by the name of Limor Fried. In addition, when her page is back up, theres some other really really neat stuff that she's made like a Nixie Clock and a Bike Light.
You might like to check out her resume too (care of google's cache). http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:1W86JlyhfWUJ:we b.media.mit.edu/~ladyada/bio/resume.pdf+%22limor+f ried%22&hl=en
i havent read the article, but at first glance i think "aren't monkeys immune to hiv anyways." before flaming, realize that HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus
He said: "As a kiteflier I have learned that what can go wrong will go wrong. I wonder about what happens if the line breaks. It appears the assumption made is that the kites will still fly in an upright and stable position. What if they, for example, turn 180 degrees to the wind and fly downwind and actually accelerate in speed to the ground?"
Wouldn't the kites have to turn 90 degrees??? (pi/2 radians???)

USB and the chipset that controls the chip are bottlenecks, i would presume.
Okay... why the hell is this parent modded at 0?
Mod parent up!

This is definitely a torrent for Tiger for PPC. Just look at the comments...
I doubt that Mac OS for x86 was released by Apple, if at all, because if it uses Darwin 9.0, it won't be able to run on many processors.
In fact, I've tried running Darwin on my AMD system to no avail.
Just my 2 cents...
Why is it that all Japanese inventions are intended "to help the elderly"?
Unfortunately, I don't think that Verizon will let you use phones that they don't issue. Someone please tell me I'm wrong, though.

this seems pretty easy to do. according to a published paper (http://ares.jsc.nasa.gov/HumanExplore/Exploration /EXLibrary/DOCS/EIC050.HTML), JSC-1 contains several oxides including SiO2 and CaO.

I find it extremely ironic that tellonapple.org is using a .Mac account to host it's videos...

And moreover, the video is absolutely ridiculous
Actually, in a lot of my math classes these days, I wish my TI-89 was a little faster when doing Sum stuff or when doing three-dimensional graphs.
