Although I dabbled in BBS's, and a little BASIC code in high school I really wouldn't have wanted to waste my summer coding. High Schoolers should be trying to get laid.
I loved that game as a kid. I remember how you could upgrade your car to add cool effects. You had to avoid the ghost at first then when you're driving. Then once you got the vacuum upgrade you could suck up the ghosts as you're driving by them.
Not trolling as I'm for Nuclear... But I always wondered if the vast amount of steam that comes out of these reactors influences weather patterns. Where I live I'm surrounded by three Nuclear plants (Limerick, Peach Bottom, and TMI). When I can see all that steam from miles away... makes me wonder if I get more rain because of it. May not influence it in a bad way who knows.
In general I think the fear about nuclear reactors has dissipated. I can remember a time when noone wanted to live near Limerick. Now it's a nice little town with above average real estate value.
I'm curious about these conversions... Does your insurance company treat your EV conversion any differently? Do you need your existing transmission anymore? Do you require a different suspension since your car would be much lighter?
Congressional spending limits under House Resolution 20 passed on January 31, 2007, by the United States House of Representatives and February 14 by the U.S. Senate have all but cancelled the program.
but was disqualified later, because they went back and counted all the comic strips the character appeared in as "advertising," then claimed that the character went over his budget.
That's something I'd like to see in a real Presidential election. I'm so sick of hearing in the news of how legitimate a candidate is by how much money he/she raises for their war chest.
Now we know you can keep continous solar power working on Mars, and that'll be the expectation from now on
Except the next rover will use a radio isotope power system. No Solar Panels on this thing.
It's also a behemoth, and doesn't use airbags to land.
I am a Linux noob and I can attest to that. I had less trouble with my Wireless, Audio, and even Video drivers with Ubuntu. Although a Device Manager equivalent would be nice to check on the status of them. Only thing Windows did better on was Writing CD's. It just makes a bunch of coasters.
Seems all the abstracts on NASA's site are ass-backwards.
. They have the NON-NASA application mixed up with the NASA Applications.
POTENTIAL NASA COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS
Electrospray gettering may be applied to Building HVAC "Collect-To-Protect" applications for counter-terror protection, home HVAC use, automotive ventilation filtration applications, airplane air filtration, and submarine air filtration to name just a few commerical uses.
POTENTIAL NON-NASA COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS (Limit 1500 characters, approximately 150 words)
Spacecraft and spacesuit environmental particulate and hazardous chemical and biological species mitigation will be of paramount concern on future Moon missions and possible Mars exploration. The electrospray gettering technology can be used to continuously remove particulate and chemical species listed in NASA's SMAC list as well as aerosolized biological species, offering all the advantages of conventional electrostatic filtration methods but devoid of any ozone production and at far lower power requirements.
NASA's technology taxonomy has been developed by the SBIR-STTR program to disseminate awareness of proposed and awarded R/R&D in the agency. It is a listing of over 100 technologies, sorted into broad categories, of interest to NASA.
We have a 3rd Party App we use with our in house developed apps. The 3rd Party app was based in the Europe then bought by a company in Texas. We had a a very expensive support agreement in place with this company and the new larger company was not honoring it.
They proceeded to do some business posturing attempting to sell us into more of their products with the carrot of gaining access to their enhanced support. They were going up against an even bigger company (us) and it wasn't until our lawyers put the fear of god into them until they started honoring their support agreement. Sometimes I don't mind working for a Mega Corp.
Both my high school and college had a mix of whiteboards, and chalkboards...
There was something about the vigorous tapping noise of chalk of an inspired teacher who cares about what he/she's teaching that kept my attention better. Overhead projectors... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Ever watch Animal planet "Most Extreme..." It has some interesting facts, and I'm glad they make Science appealing for kids, BUT they repeat the same facts over and over again. Think maybe ADD is a defense mechanism for boredom... I can see it in the kid's head now "Oh the announcer guy will just repeat what he just said 5 times so I'll just veg out until after the next commercial break."
I think it's a problem with Linux in general. How does any non-Linux person give credibility when they see "GIMP". Makes me think of Pulp Fiction: "Bring out the Gimp!" Part of Feisty Fawn's default installation. I'd like to see Linux in the mainstream, but some of the names in the default applications are painful looking to me.
Granted MAC puts 'i' in front of every damned thing and it's golden.
I literally had 5 friends switch from AT&T to Verizon in the same month for that same reason. Verizon is evil, but they at least warn you before fucking you up the ass.
I think they're going for the whole movie this time.
In Citizen Kane... That scene with Kane as a boy playing in the snow in the background is pretty cool though. Yes I only know cuz of the film class I took for free credits.
Couldn't this be used to reduce latency on inter/intra continental backbones? It be kinda wierd though... If you're talking on VOIP... would the caller on the other end hear your voice before you say it?

What's the significance of 2014?
Right some people get stuck with this lawyer.

If I were a businessman... I'd say who could blame them? They make a killing off of all the extra moving parts that can go wrong on gasoline engines.
I'd dare to say they make MORE money off spare parts. That's just my guess with no research.

This thread is making me depressed. This is why I only took the one required Business class in my Engineering curriculum.
Oh so what you're saying is George W is the Anti-Christ... got it now.

It's approaching the 80/20 Rule It's human nature, and they should account for that.
Looks like Nero turned into that. I used to like you Nero! You've changed... we've grown apart.
