Sadly starting a fire or tripping a breaker won't work very well for anyone in IT, they'd just be stuck at work over the weekend making sure everything was working (or in the case of a fire, building new servers with no time to sleep or rest).
The opening is estimated to be 620 feet by 520 feet and the hole to be at least 380 feet deep. Wow! That beats even goatse!
I'm sure you'll be moderated funny (as you should)... however if you reach 5 then I'll know others, too - have suffered the same horrible fate I once did. It'll help heal the mental scars I still carry to this day...
I looked at the pictures, and it seems that they had a bug on the lens.
In all seriousness, though, I wonder how they can determine the depth of the hole, just from the surface characteristics?
Simple (somewhat)... take two pictures at different times of the day. See how much the shadow / dark spot changes of the walls. Assuming vertical (or nearly so) walls then it's (somewhat) a math problem...
I respect lavatory cleaning staff far above copyright lawyers.
Yet lawyers serve a purpose. Just because, in this case, their purpose is opposed to your interests does not make them scum.
The root issue we're disagreeing on is, I believe, rather a person is scum based upon the job they choose to perform. One person's scum is another person's necessity.
If this was not the MPAA or the RIAA but instead, an author of a self-published book that went viral on the internet (who knows - people might start reading again).. would you still be so adamant that the Lawyers are scum?
I don't know how well the guy in the law firm is doing - if he's scraping by or if he's raking it in.
I do know, however, that to impose my beliefs that the lawyers are scum on them in a legal manner and make judgement based on that is not something I would want others doing to me.
Different jobs involve varying degrees of moral direction - some would consider repossessing cars to be evil, vile and dispicable - while others see the necessary need for loaners to recoup their outlay.
Do I not like what these lawyers are doing? Sure
Do I think these lawyers are performing what their job requires them to do? In all probablity, yes
Is an individual going to stay on moral high-grounds when his job is on the line? Rarely, and I can't fault them for it - especially not in this case.

Individuals at the company may be scum, they may not be - however attacking an individual's personal life for what he does in public I find offensive. The lawyers, are, at the moment within their legal grounds to perform this service for the MPAA and their ilk, as much as it leaves a bad flavor in my mouth.
If you want to change the world, stop attacking people and start attacking the issue. Fuss at your congressman to change silly lawsuits that are extortion schemes.
If I highlight the Wikipedia article on 'plastique' you can personally garantee that I won't ever be getting a visit from the feds or be placed on any kind of watch list?
Because if you can't, well... we should just ban curtains and envelopes and get it over with.
And yet, you yourself failed to link to plastique on Wikipedia yourself.
Says something about how far paranoia has gone...:-(
I assume your figures are for full coverage... the nice thing about lasers and lights etc is that they can go blinky and shine in another direction during their off cycle. Multiplexed enough... say 128 times you'd still be able to get enough spots covered with sufficient intensity I imagine... </guess>
Also your assumption that it's 5,000 km squared sounds a bit extreme as I don't think you'd want to "light" the whole area. Sufficient maps could be provided to the satellite to only send it where it's reasonable needed (eg: avoid > 4 miles inland; avoid >0.25 out to sea).
Bah, I'm sure that my name will beat you: Zhiwoumxy Quujosva. Placed all my 7 letters, +70. Placed Z and X on triple letter squares, +60. Completed 2 other words with them, +60. And so on...
Actually the Atari 2600 had a very similair chip to the C=64. I believe on the 2600 it was a varient of the 6502 - on the C64 it was a 6510 (basicallty a stock 6502 + 2 I/O lines). So yes, it essentially does come with an Atari 2600 cpu.
See wikipedia for more info on the Atari 2600 / C=64 chip differences.
There are actually programs that allow taking a tape player, plugging it in your line in (if you have one still) and decoding the C= tape into individual.prg files.
I don't have them handy but google might.. - try +C64 +audio +tape +conversion - eg: This one...(among others)

You sound like you're speaking from experience?
This should be interesting... I wonder what a combination of Skype and Google Voice could do for me...
Assuming vertical wall, you won’t be able to see them. You’re looking down.
Plus, the camera is using thermal imaging, so a moving shadow wouldn’t show up well.
With any spheroid looking down unless you're directly beneath the camera there will be angled views.
As for thermal imaging - overlooked that part...

Rather versus Whether vs. Weather... The joys of English.
This would essentially put the government in charge of choosing which press agencies to sponser... Dangerous precedent...

We're all glad to know that you're offended when people who are 'publicly' attacking other individuals are in turn attacked as individuals themselves.
I'm glad you're glad.

I concur with the parent poster... the api seems, for it's purpose, straight-forward and easy to use.

Jolly Ranchers [ . . . ] are a gateway to the "harder" stuff (not literally, nothing's actually harder than a Jolly Rancher.)
This begs for a Chuck Norris quote but I'm at a loss to think up any (decent) ones...
The first post was posted at 2:03pm (in my timezone) .. yours was posted at 2:07 so all things considering, a 4 minute fix isn't too bad...
"British Chiropractors Drop Case Against Simon Singh" -newspapers "Well that's a load off my back" -Singh "See! Our treatment works!" -chiropracters
So how heavy was the case that they dropped against his back?
Also your assumption that it's 5,000 km squared sounds a bit extreme as I don't think you'd want to "light" the whole area. Sufficient maps could be provided to the satellite to only send it where it's reasonable needed (eg: avoid > 4 miles inland; avoid >0.25 out to sea).
So where's the other 1? He only used 3...

Uh, how many U's are there in the game?
I think you should read my post again.
I did ... I had two choices.
Either assume that you're trying to be funny or that you typed too quickly in attempt to make first post.
Judging by the lack of any funny mods I'm assuming I made the right choice

Gah drbbt.. Accidentally modded parent as redundant. Posting to remove it (was going to be insightful).
So I get marked off topic because I post a comment to remove a bad moderation I made?
The proper response should have been OverRated if you don't want everyone to see me - not OffTopic.
