    ... best make sure the tissues you wipe them with are not lotion-treated, else you'll get nice lotion/oil smears all over your nice and clean lenses.

    I have to use a clean cloth. Anything else usually leaves a fine smearing of oil (enough that I can see it). Drives me insane.

    If you're sweating while underwater, the water is waaay too hot, or there's something wrong with you...

    Yea, and hot, bright, and dry do not either.

    Indeed. The Miranda warning is only about arresting you (ie, taking you into custody) and is intended to protect you from abusive interrogations.

    Yea, because TV shows with the objective of pure entertainment is the best place to learn such important things...

    As long as said person is legally allowed to posses that firearm, and they were not brandishing it...

    That's a good way to get your ass thrown in juvie and/or shrink-time.

    It's called headphones and a line-in. Any real amp or effects processor will have jacks for both.

    I know, I use them! In a studio apartment at 3am, and nobody hears a thing! Imagine that!

    It is.

    That doesn't mean it's wrong, but it is a crime. What makes it a crime? Laws written that say it is.

    And what does that have to do with the heliocentric or geocentric rotation? That's on the scale of a year, not a day. We are apparently thinking of different yet similar things here...

    further to the point though - the argument is garbage. Gravity, inertia etc all back up the fact that it is the earth moving about the sun, with the other planets. Your perspective doesn't change fact, only color your perception of it.

    Yes. It's not easy to keep them all in order, and training them is not the easiest thing to do either. Not even bringing the relatively short lifespan of them into it!

    But either statement is not related (regardless of your frame of reference). One governs year, the other day.

    Isn't a second defined to be 1/60th of a minute which is 1/60th of an hour, which is 1/24th of a day? And a day is the amount of time it takes for the sun to revolve around the earth. For this reason, it won't add up at all since this change will have redefined what a second is.

    Yes, they do. And the Napoli style is words better than the Roma style.

    Another quirk: they don't mix the toppings. If you ask for peperoni and mushrooms, you get a pizza with peperoni on one half and mushrooms on the other.

    That's like telling my your 1980s Ford with a chevy transmission is no better than a 2011 right off the lot.

  20. Re:Warez on White House Wants New Copyright Law Crackdown · · Score: 1

    Lets use the Scarlet Letter for example. The US did not have copyright, but Britain did. The publisher didn't get his ducks in a row fast enough to get the copyright in Britain (which was needed to make some money, because all that was circulating in the US was bootleg copies).

    Well, the bootleggers got there first, and nobody got anything from the work.

    Sound fair to you? I sure as hell wouldn't have enjoyed having that happen to my work.

    I'm going to go out and say it was, depending on the fall distance:
    1. Hypoxia to a critical area of the CNS
    2. Shearing trauma to the CNS

    Really, 99% of the ways you die are covered by the above. The rest are all similar to #1, usually a result of the metabolic processes halting or malfunctioning.

    yay. happy thoughts.

  25. Re:Well... on NASA Worker Falls To His Death On Launch Pad · · Score: 1

    Have you ever passed out while giving blood? That's probably what it's like, as the actual true cause of death is the same cause there - hypoxia. The difference is the extent - and your cognitive abilities short out well far of the mark.
