I am wondering if the cost spent on deployment, not of the plates (that could passed on to the consumer) but the scanners to the law enforcement, wouldn't be better spent on something like addressing the spread of HIV in their population.
Is to use a nuclear powered fully-submersed shell which uses super-cavitation to acheive high-speeds with minimum drag, and have it generate a powerful magnetic field above it to suspend a freighter above the water. Like a water-based, self-contained maglev.
Sure it's total impossible and you'll whine about minor problems like air friction of the freighter, the power requirements for doing something like this, and stabilizing the boat above the submersed shell, but wouldn't it look cool! And in the process we use the heat to change the viscosity of the water around the submerged part. Further we use the excess electricity to split the H2O into the components Hydrogen and Oxygen. Then we have giant gas collectors attached to the side of the tanker and we use the gas in the afterburners. Now wouldn't it SUPER cool to see a supertanker levitating in mid air with afterburners going?
Sounds a little like supercavitated torpedoes, where the bubbles minimize drag except in this case they aren't encasing the ship in air. What ever happened to supercavitation anyway? Was it actually ever used or extended beyond torpedoes?Yes and in the article they talk about that a little bit near the end.
The idea of air cavities has much in common with supercavitation, in which a submerged object such as a torpedo creates a single large bubble around itself. This slashes skin friction, bringing remarkable speeds within reach (New Scientist, 22 July 2000, p 26). Perhaps not surprisingly, Russian engineers who first developed supercavitating torpedoes have not only done plenty of research on air-cavity lubrication for ships, but have also put their ideas to work.
Kill me now with bacteria and other problems or later via the leeching of heavy metals (mentioned in article). I think I would choose the heavy metals if I was in a third world country.
Yeah, Honestly! I am not a closet gamer just a guy who is really busy with wife and kid at home. My gaming extends to about 1-2 hours total in any given week. Only after reading the story on the front page was I able to read the back story on the other posts. So while ignorance is no excuse, it is the only explaination I have.
Lucky for me I did watch the Matrix and know from Cypher that Ignorance is Bliss. So will return to my deluded sense of reality.
I honestly had not heard of the game until this story and now I honestly comtemplating buying the game. Honest perspective here is treated with Troll and Overrated moderation. Seems like I have better Karma when I keep my thoughts to myself.
I wonder if email and the web is really to blame or if concentration of people is more to blame. You don't see these mail boxes going into new housing developments. Everyone has a mail box and daily delivery (and pick up if needed) a their sidewalk.
I don't discount the idea that they may not be taking in as much mail from the iconic blue boxes, but I wonder if total 1st class mail has decreased significally or only where it is picked up from? As older urban communities die off and people that can afford it flock to suburn developments (I know sweeping generalizations), are the blue boxes simply in the wrong place or has consumer culture of this service simply changed?

Thank you for your support. I would say that I didn't and still don't expect much beyond the moderation the comment recieved. That is part of why I posted it seperately. As your post suggests, I do believe that it is related. A better me make me a better daddy. I do believe that my faith and relationship with God help me and spur me on to do and be better.
Once again thank you for your support.

And seperately, I have found that a personal relationship with Jesus is the surest way to happiness. It is not an easy path or one for the meek. But there is nothing like it in this world. Some here may not agree, and that is their decision and I respect that.
If you want to talk about this or hear more, let me know.
The flaming of me and my person may now commence.

The best gift you can give your child is a stable family. Many people try to buy the happiness for/of their children. Others try to be their best friend. If you really want to help your kid out. Give them security in an insecure world. Model for your kids that life and relationships can be hard, but at the end of the day Dad and Mom are commited to each other and them "the kid(s)".
Most of us will, like it or not, end up similar to our parents. How you treat your spouse becomes the norm and comfortable for them. Notice I am not saying the right way or even healthy, only what they are used to and most likely to reproduce. Later in life, despite all of our best efforts, we tend towards the relationships we see modeled around us.
Words of wisdom that others have shared. 1+1=1 or 100%+100%=100% When you are fully devoted to building up your spouse and they are fully committed to building you up will both of your needs be met. The struggle should not be on "how do I get my needs met". If we could do that than there would be no reason to get married! From the personal experience, grace can carry you a long way and only when you are both working together do you achieve real happiness.
If you want to help your Child, give them security and good model for their future relationships. Never fail to tell them you love them. While you may not like some of the things they do, you should always love them.

Fine, I can take a hint from you and the previous response. I will go back under the rock from whence I came. The message intended sent was not the message received. Man I love a faceless medium!
That's not the point of my post, if you find the story elsewhere and want to post it fine, but give credit where it is due. I am not accusing anyone, only pointing to a source that has been linked to before in slashdot stories with a post date that's 14 hours before this one.
They story is a good one and likly slashdotted by now, I am just showing a possible place where the information may be found. Accountabilty is not a bad thing.
User base as a result of deployment. There are a lot of business users that as they are strongarmed by micro$oft sales reps to the latest version of windows. If I where betting I would say that the business user base that migrates in the first year is larger than the current linux and OSX combined.
In an era of scandal secrets I welcome the opportunity to make an informed decision. In that vein does anyone have comparable numbers for Opera, IE or other popular browsers?
It is not the size of your dongle but how you use it! I know plenty of guys with big dongles that can barely fill them and only take them out once in while.

A great story of how I won't take no for an answer solves problems. I just hope, and bet, it will save lives on the ground in Iraq.

Since methane hydrates releases are still suspected in the sinking of ships, how do the researchers account for the loss of buoyancy? Since this research calls for redesign of current ship building know-how, how are they planning on addressing the buoyancy part of the equation?

Then I won't have to buy one for him. I am sure that it would make his parents made if that helps your decision.
