A deer can weight up to 200kg, a wolf weight barely more than 60kg.
When have you ever seen a 440 lb whitetail? The record is 511lbs... the largest you're likely to see in the northeast is *maybe* 350lb - and that's not going to be running around near highways
The average airliner with two engines can only fly so long on one engine, and with 4 engines can rarely fly with 2 well, take out two on the same side and the pilot will have to correct for yaw as well.
Modern planes like the 777, and other slightly less modern ones like the 737 and myriad others, are expressly designed to be able to fly "a long ways" on half their power.
Likewise, a 747 can fly a long way on half its power.
And since they've gotten rid of the "puffer" machines, no one would know you're carry chemicals
P.P.S. If you really wanted to get nitric acid in, dilute some fertilizer, dip a pair of jeans in it. When they've dried, buy a plaid shirt and a pair of shit kickers. Head to the airport dressed like a farmer. It'll raise a flag, but they won't take your pants for it.
Let me say that while I agree with you, there's something to be said for economy in editing.
Sure, you don't want wasted time in film. Long cuts, however, don't need to have wasted time -- especially if the screenplay is tight. (Of course, that also requires the actors to be sharp, and everything else to be done right the first time.)
You could have a feature length film in one cut without any waste. It would take a lot of skill to do it well -- from both the cast and the crew.
When CBS remade Failsafe 10 years ago (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0235376/), it was done live (plus commercial breaks).
A one-shot movie would be nominally akin to filming a play straight-through and then airing it
Older languages, like the mainframe DBMS NOMAD and the PC DBMS dBase were IMO brilliant. They needed little documentation, and no curly braces or other such nonsense you find in modern languages like C or Java.
C is only 8 years newer than BASIC (being developed in 1972 instead of 1964). That hardly makes it more "modern" than BASIC - if you want to look at "modern" try F#, C#, or even Python or Ruby.
So you only want to vote for the person you think is going to win?
I voted this morning. Most of the people I voted for were never mentioned on the news, in the papers, and most people don't even know about them. I did my research, found the person I liked and I voted for them even though they are likely to win. Waste of time? I think not. Every time I vote that's one more little bit of the percentage of being recognized.
And it's what I do every year, too - just like I did this morning:)
For the curious, Article 2, Section 2:
"[The President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur."
Treaties of the United States have to be ratified by the Senate. This is hardly news.
So if only 3 senators are "present", only 2 need to agree?
I don't think that we can determine if there actually -is- anything in his/her hand. Take a walk around a city sometime and you'll see plenty of loonies holding the sides of their heads, talking back to the voices they 'hear' inside their mind. I'm guessing schizophrenia manifested itself the same way back then as it does now.
Hell, there could have been a loud noise nearby. I make that move when an ambulance passes by.
And folks with bluetool earpieces look even loonier than the rest of us who still hold our cell phones to our heads
For some reason, all classroom desk/chair combos seem to be designed for some hypothetically-average 6th grader. Even the ones in college. New chair/desk combos are definitely needed... the obesity problem is another issue, but 6'2" 200lb people just don't fit well in a chairdesk designed for 5'5" 130lb folks!
I've used multi-stranded cable much thicker than half an inch. It was for an experiment that needed to burst 2500 amps, I needed the heavy wire for low resistance. You could probably do 480V @ 1875A on a loop of 9 conductor wire of OO gauge (.33") per strand. it would be pretty heavy but no bigger than a gas pump hose according to my primitive napkin math.
And I've run DC 500A in wiring about the diameter of a pencil.. of course, it was NbTi in a Cu sheath bather in liquid He, but still.
Common silk is reasonably bullet resistant. You can shoot a low caliber bullet at a silk hanky (held by the top) and the bullet will push the silk aside rather than penetrate it.
That's true of a cotton handkerchief as well. Being "pushed aside" but the shockwave off the bullet is NOT equivalent to "bullet resistant". If you're standing behind the "hanky" while the bullet is pushing it aside, you're still going to get hit.
Could include some now-extinct cats like sabre-toothed ones. But you're probably right... MacOS X is now about 10 years old and is probably due for a major rejiggering soon.
And Linux is about 19 years old and is probably due for a major rejiggering, too:)
How does an i7 desktop running Linux use less power than an i7 running OS X or Windows 7?
My MacBook Pro gets worse battery life in Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 than it does in Snow Leopard.
Not sure why this post was modded "Troll" - it's dead-on. You might be saving some money on the licensing end, but MS doesn't charge full price per seat to governments, just like they don't to large corporate customers.

I did once get asked to remove some shaving foam but once the guy had examined it for a monment he gave it back to me anyway.
he was probably looking for embryos

And how many colonies on Earth started out as penal ones? Australia and the state of Georgia come to mind...
We don't make our money from selling profits
Ummm... duh! Who SELLS their profits?!?!
I want a AR-15 full-auto sear and selector assembly, and it seems like it would be way less risky to make one then to buy one.
If 3D printers printed metal, that may be true. Of course, some of the now-entry-level "home" CNC machines can do this
... which can lead to gum disease...
SEE! THAT'S why chewing gum is so bad!! Who wants gum disease?!!?
yeah, but do you really want to go down the street sucking on a big huge pickle?
Have you never seen the "pickle pops" that some convenience stores sell? They're chilled pickles on a stick.
(pretty sure they got the idea from the book Some Summer)
And I'm not even joking. Aren't monochromatic regimes the obvious clients for such techniques?
there. Fixed that for you.

That can't be, he ran on a platform of openness and transparency.
And this has been ongoing for over 3 years, which means Mr Obama didn't even originate it.

wish I could vote this one up!

I left Ford because of the exploding gas tanks they put in their pintos. Customer satisfaction must count for something.
The gas tank only exploded because the woman driver was BACKING UP on the interstate!

probably :)
