the retraction of water as a result of the coming tsunami happens very fast, I'd say 1-3 minutes. It's not like they had the chance to have a premonition..
I'm sure they saw the waves coming right after they saw the water withdrew, but then there was still no chance to escape..
Barnes and Noble stores that have Starbucks in them use T-Mobile's Hotspot as wifi provider.. once you subscribe to them you can use the service wherever Hotspot is available.
From TFWebsite, you can also use them in:
Starbucks coffeehouses,
Borders Books & Music stores,
FedEx Kinko's Office and Print Centers,
Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, airports, and the airline clubs of American®, Delta, United, and US Airways.
im talking about getting access to your said fuel ingredients when the need for them rises. With increased estates up there in the orbit, increased commute will be inevitable. What i was concerned about is the accessibility and availability of those things.
If in fact these stuff are already available abundantly (or will be available abundantly--by 2010,according to the article), then pardon my ignorance.
okay, so building/leasing/renting orbital estates are all good fun.. but what about the fuel?
I am mostly sure we're not going to use fossil fuel anymore for the traffic going up and down (or in and out, rather), but hydrogen and other alternatives still seem yet mature enough..
I just hope we have found new (and potential) alternative fuel by the time space/orbital race traffic begins..
As TFA suggested, the GPS system was primarily intended to improve train safety and efficiency.. Aside from the regular tracker that are used on most trains, I guess this feature just adds more safety assurance. with the issue of GPS jammer, well, the preexisting tracker/locator should be good enough.. hey, two is better than one
there are differences between a roll call, swiping a badge, AND being RFID tagged.
furthermore, swiping badges at school entrance means the school authority knows that you're in school.
Being tagged means the authority knows your movement every second, although it's not as precise as how GPS work, but they can track you as you move from room to room.
I dont know about you but I dont like feeling like those dogs with 'invisible leash'.
so does this mean there can be things - stars, asteroids, any heavenly objects - flung towards earth or our solar system, so sudden that we wouldnt be prepared, or at least know before it's too late?
Or would we know beforehand as potential threats are setting up?
now how will C-Span's coverage of White House speeches deal with teh great use of English literature such as the following?
Bush:
"nucular"
"abu.. abu.. abu.. abu grabby prison"
Rumsfeld:
"here are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."
I'm curious as to why a similar magnitude earthquake, also in the ocean, occurring off the coast of Australia shortly before this earthquake didn't cause a tsunami as well?
The epicenter of the quake happens to be where several plates meet, thus the vertical movement and the high scale.
AFAIK, as the tsunami moves into shallow waters, the height increases as the speed decreases.. a recipe for deathly trouble for people living on shores..
Imagine a wall of water 100+ feet high chasing you up inland..
i am looking at this matter as a battle. the industry's posse can keep suing the platforms but as far as i'm concerned, all they can do in IRC is force them to close the channels.
back in the days, I used IRC and then moved to napster, kazaa, BT, and others.. but now i guess it's time for us to move back and let others know that there is another way to download files for educational purposes!!!
it says 6.2% dont have telephone land lines AVAILABLE to them.. they cant get it even if they want to.. your family and friends might have CHOSEN not to have landline services.
what happens when the interceptor hit "nucular" missiles above or near our coasts? Wouldnt there still be fallouts? I'd propose for a program that creates maybe something like an EMP blaster or force firewall that virtually disables the incoming missiles..
it amazes me that a simple interceptor, that i thought is already an old technology, fail..
this "virtual island" sounds too much like the game Far Cry.
They should've created a virtual martian base with monster invested, evil-laden hellhole, where people in it are doomed to fight those monsters.. maybe the beachfront would look more exciting:p
if you for once browse the Firefox Extension room at Mozilla, you would find this all amazing FTP Bookmark Synchronizer
it first stores your bookmarks on an FTP site of your choice and then you can download it to wherever you want.. I use it to synch my laptop and deskt after my burnt PSU took along with it data in my HDD
*OUCH!*
I see several people replying to this refer to Konqueror.. would th eprogram actually recognize on-purpose word tweaks like "KONQUEROR"? or warez or other widely-accepted expressions?
another thing, I think people speak in slang in part because slangs have a function to let people talk in more intimate/familiar/laid-back situation, and they often let people get ideas across faster and better. Slangs also help the language itself grow (e.g. the term 'Slashdotted')
Forcing grammatically correct typing in chat clients will only lead to discouragement in using them, and would still channel their way of talking "misgrammatically" somewhere else..
remember, negative enforcement often leads to dissatisfaction and that leads to fight-backs, or at best, correct conducts based on submission.
I would positive enforcements (specifically for the grammar issue in chat clients) such as: -games (like YahooIM games) that's based on words -predictive text completion (computer predicts likely word to be typed [like in MSWord] that people can press TAB to let computer completes. This way users can see what their spelling is supposed to be. I dont know how many americans i know confuse the word THEY'RE and THEIR.
yes that's what I've always been thinking.. I'm a huge fan of indy. I watched, owned, and try to find out alot of things about Henry Jr. I used to think that no one else could and should make an Indy movie but Harrison Ford. But I realize that I love the character more than I want the actor to play that character. So eventually we're gonna have to replace Ford and try the best to find a suitable replacement!
oh and btw, for those of you who likes to read novels, try reading some Indy Jones novel series by the author Rob MacGregor (there are several other authors).. VERY RECOMMENDED!
katamari damashii (jp title) or "clump soul" is one of the best games of 2004. If you havent tried playing it, you should go buy it now for only US$19.99
..this is the era where common sense and a good hunch for justice just arent enough.. in the past judges could make decision based on their wisdom. Today, they are further removed from technology that's advancing so fast they can barely keep up even if they try.. keyloggers, spammers, phishers should be judged by someone/some boards that really knows what it is and what's at stake..
hm.. so is that it? will our communications be limited to the speed of light until we find/invent some sort of wormhole? arh, it annoys me to know that speed of light is the limit..
to add to that, I read the possible uses for this, at least for now are:
1> thrust air-to-ground missiles to target deeply buried targets (maybe like saddam's crumbling molehole.. remember $1000 toilet and $500 hammer?)
2> like others have mentioned, intercontinental ballistic interceptor.. (almost sounds as cool as CONTINUUM TRANSFUNCTIONER)
jokes aside, I know that they're testing this thing high in the sky.. but wouldnt it achieve faster speed if they fly it near sea-level, since air density is higher? anyone who has comment pls reply..

I personally dont use this service, why pay when I can go to Panera that's just around the corner..;)
Try the Turkey Artichoke sandwich!!!

the vehicles probably are set to surface when the battery is low. including calculations on timing such as when to rise up (morning?),
so YES, they ARE (or might be) autonomous...
thanks but no thanks apple, I am quite happy with my thumb 2x1x1 inch sized 256MB no moving parts different LED colors display bundle of joy

dont tell me the name COUNTER-STRIKE escaped you as you were writing the post. CS:Source is many people's reason to buy HL2!

This Japanese Katamari official website (english version) is a better website that tells you what it is, and there are also wallpaper images for download (one of which i am using)
