I don't know. I came into a crate full of MREs 10 years ago, and my buddy and I used em for camping for a LONG time. I found them generally palatable. Except the eggs. It's just not easy to make and keep eggs for a 10 year shelf-lief.
As a buddy of mine likes to say, we're so technologically advanced, that we've put guidance fins on concrete bombs - we're effectively throwing high-precision rocks at our enemies.
Mantis, released somewhere around 1992 was an amazing combat simulator. It was complex enough, my buddy and I used to play cooperatively, switching off combat and piloting duties.
It's too bad it never evolved into something updated.
Only supporting 1, a SINGLE, ActiveSync account, for one. That I think is perhaps the biggest flaw in the iPhone email setup... this coming from the Pre, which could support multiple ActiveSync accounts, so I could sync GMail and my Corporate mail. With iPhone, it's one or the other.
IANAL, but I'm pretty sure that's a violation of the UCMJ and also the exact reason the submarine nuclear deterrent force was required to operate as they did.
And also why they no longer operate in that fashion.
Which is sillier, because if I know the combination, and there's only ONE combination, then I can KILL officer #2, and use his key to open the safe. So the only SAFE safe, is one in which I have at least two combinations.
If the storm didn't have that clicky screen, and maybe had a real keyboard, ala the Palm Pre, I think it would have been a much more commanding hit than it was. It was sold as the iPhone killer for Verizon, but it failed to achieve much of it's goals. Most of the Storm early adopters I know were long-time Blackberry fans, and they HATED it.
An okay offering? I don't know if you remember smartphones around 2006, but messaging and browsing was absolutely horrid - the best probably being the WinMo smartphones, but even those were arguably horrible. The iPhone redefined ease-of-use mobile internet, just as the Pre has redefined connecting to people (whether the Pre has any staying power depends on Verizon getting some very soon, IMHO).
Are you seriously lambasting the FDA for what, three major outbreaks (peanuts, tomatoes and one mad-cow false alarm) in the past 10 years? I guarantee you buddy, if the FDA didn't exist, you'd be playing Russian roulette at the supermarket. But I can concede that even if you have a Grade A production line, all it takes is one worker who wipes his ass and fails to follow proper sterilization procedure, and a whole line is contaminated with e.Coli.
I disagree. Assuming well-formed and presented education, it is in MY best interest that everyone schooled is presented the best possible education - some of those kids may be the doctor, firefighter, EMT that saves my live someday, or discovers the cure to cancer. It is in our collective best interest to ensure their competent education.
Now paying for college... I have firm beliefs that much of what we teach in first and second year college classes out to be taught in junior/senior year of high-school versus so-called AP classes. But that's just me. I was in some AP classes, and I wasted the opportunity.:(
And you make the naive assumption that this information is not now, nor ever will be kept by Bing. Based on how I know how marketing, production and sales talk to one another, I guarantee it's being kept, or rather "Not purged as per policy."
Bingo. This whole net neutrality thing only became an issue once Vonage and Skype started eating at the trough of "land-line" telephones. The big telcos should either admit they're internet companies, or phone companies. They can't have it both ways.
Point taken, but read the context - the post I was responding to was definitely using my definition of billion (10^9) in reference to AT&Ts income/revenue.
No, but what it *HAS* given us is Airstrip America right in between Iran and Israel and next to Saudi Arabia. I've been saying that's the real reason we're over there, and not oil, revenge for Daddy, or any other reason, since Day 1 of the Invasion.

Fuck that, man. I brew, yes brew!, Folgers Instant Crystals in MY Mr. Coffee. Nothing like a cuppa Mud to start the day.

I think you're on to something...

For some research from the guys who actually know what the fuck they're doing:

Your so-called blast wave isn't eliminated simply because there's no atmosphere. You STILL have to deal with all that radiation.

Right?

Exactly. How much of the failed Soviet experiment was sown in the seeds of the actions of Stalin and Lenin, and not in communism, per se?

Virtual Center 2.5 and SQL Server Enterprise Manager.
Both of which are COMPLETE SHIT compared to the C++ apps they replace.

zomg! the pcp! Jesus Christ, when was the last time you ever saw PCP in the wild?

In the ground?
No friggin' clue... considering Atmel is pretty friendly to the open source crowd...
Oh.
In that case, carry on!
I never said it did (skin having same melting point as polyester).
And 260C is pretty far away from 100C hot coffee. I think you're just reinforcing my point.
I need all that space to put my 400 DVDs in!

If the hot coffee isn't melting the styrofoam cup, it's not melting anyone's clothes.
