Then I posit this: Get the holodeck first, and work on the replicator with that. If they could simulate breaking the transwarp barrier, then they should be able to simulate the replicator - note that the replicator would be simulated, but not the matter that had been transformed on it's way through it.... are we taking this too seriously? lol
Voyager showed the holodeck being used for simulation and prototyping an aweful lot. Why replicate when you can simulate, and only when done actually manufacture the peice? I'd say if we only had one or the other, the holodeck would be the "best" choice simply because of the versatility of use.
Not to mention you know the porn industry would be behind it (pun intended)
Or he could build/buy the sear and selector*, pay $200 for a class-3 tax stamp, and enjoy is non-$50,000 fully-automatic weapon.

(you know the assault weapons ban is gone? there's still the classification system in place (points for features, past a given count of points it's now class 3 and you need a license and tax stamp)
Yea, but milled aluminum may not be suitable for the purpose. You'd want something that's less reactive to heat.
I don't get the point anyways. Automatic fire uses way too much ammunition and is less useful than you'd think. Aimed semi-automatic fire is just as dangerous, if not more so - given that you're deadlier for far longer (seriously, lay out a magazine with an automatic and notice how your magazine is empty in under a second (M4: 700 rounds/minute = 2/second = 30 shots in 15 seconds)
If you run into further problems, note that this engine has never really liked SLI.
You may also notice white or black "sparkles" along geometry. This is an incompatibility with newer drivers and the way the game does HDR + AA. You can either set it to bloom mode, or disable AA.... so many little bugs. IMO the game is worth the trouble though.
Note if you use this it will redetect your graphics settings. Adjust as needed, and do note the incorrect graphics card model will be displayed. This is intended.
How many of these dummy thermostats are actually connected? The ones I speak of, you can see the arc when the mercury closes the circuit. I've never seen that on properly dead ones.
I've also seen thermostats that, while they don't directly control the system, do alter the way the system cycles. I believe it's some kind of 'intelligent' system that realizes if Department A wants 70F and Department B (next door, open air) wants 90F, it's a waste of energy doing them separately and just pushes out 80F.
That being said, you are taught that pedestrians have the right of way in such cases, and even on a geen light you are supposed to look before turning. It's hardly the traffic control devices' problem that people persist in ignoring those rules.
Well, given that my data points are from our own collection of customers, I've noticed that the vast majority of intrusions are made via poorly written/maintained/configured PHP code. The amount of inexplicable ones that we see (in that there's no sign of "forced" entry - they just guessed/stole (I'm quite irritable that cPanel et-al like to encourage FTP) the password) is relatively tiny. Or, well, we just never see them because they've been broken so efficiently.
It's hard to get a proper picture because of that last bit. In truth, unless you actively monitor/review your customer's servers - you'd only end up seeing the sloppy hacks (because said "administrator" is clueless and it takes a sufficiently nasty job to make them notice).

My chiropractor can "grope" my ass to locate my tailbone for an x-ray. What makes that any different?
Hrm, "Neutral_Observer" responding to a lizard in the Tropics with "eew!"
Does not compute!
Yea, because these could only ever be of use during the initial push.
I mean, look at Iraq! No power anywhere! ...
(as well, you seem to be positing that this would only be of use when there is always power everywhere. that's hardly the case.)
That slot looks just wide enough to accidentally snag your finger in. Add a twisting motion... ouch!
However, these materials could in turn be used as a positive to create a mold for the -other- materials.
Or, done intelligently, would form the actual mold.

really piss me off.

Indeed. I can't wait for these wastes of resources to die.

There should be no loss in quality.
Goodbye Slashdot...
... and nothing of value was lost.
Bah, stupid brain. I meant 96khz.
Yea, because you really miss anything at 192khz 32-bit floating point....
giganews, easynews.... just search for usenet and you can't miss them all...
Oh wait, you don't want to pay...
The Mole might be another appropriate (though not as fun sounding) name.
Thanks for the chuckle :)
Hilariously, the fix is to put a d3d9 DLL in the game that tricks it into thinking you have an nvidia 7300 (different in the case of ATI).
Seriously, did they bother testing on all hardware, or just what somebody had hiding in the corner of their cubicle for slackoff time?
Yes, because when I vomit I evacuate my bowels and spill my innards all over the place...

Frankly I don't give a shit who gets pissed off. The objective is scientific understanding, not pissing people off or not.
