>and you will crack some if you ever have to do CPR.
I'm a Paramedic and I have to say you don't know what you're talking about. Yes, it is entirely possible to crack ribs during CPR. But you make it sound like a definite thing. I've done CPR numerous times and only cracked ribs on elderly women and emaciated, elderly men...and NEVER on a child.
So glad to see you read Slashdot! I have been trying to get NASA to answer an email from me for a while now and of course I can never get through. I figured this was the perfect "opportunity" (pun intended) to get my question answered if you don't mind!:)
From what I understand, what of the big concerns with the rovers is martian dust building up on the solar panels blocking the light out and keeping the batteries from recharging. I know this sounds ridiculous, and it's so simple that if it would work, NASA would have done it...but why are the solar panels not equipped with the equivalent of windshield wipers that just brush the dust off once in a while? I'm curious as to what challenge would allow this piece of incredible technology to be built, but not simply allow dusting off the solar panels with...a windshield wiper.:)
If you can reply to connah [AT] gmail [DOT] com, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Scott! Take care!
Depends on the gun, 22s and even 45s aren't that loud.
No disrespect, but you sir have no idea what you're talking about. Yes,.22's are not that loud. A.45? THAT'S loud. And if you've ever shot a.45 and it wasn't loud, I can assure you that you were shooting custom reloaded bullets of an EXTREMELY low grain.
If I were to say, "Wow...evolution is a marvelous thing", this would be modded up. But the fact that I'm saying, "And people say God doesn't exist" will guarantee this as a troll.
Judging by the almost complete lack of any real grasp of the English language or how the internet works, could it be that his email was delayed by the fact that he had no idea what the internet was until one of his staff had asked why he hadn't replyed to his emails?
Speaking of problems with the English language, you misspelled "replied".
IE, God isn't a magical being with a beard/4 arms/turban and a mysterious agenda, but a "greater" entity bound by the laws of the universe/creation/reality/[insert definition for everything here].
I don't know a lot about CS, but if what you say is true, that CS says God is bound by laws, can we call Him God anymore? I mean isn't omnipotence an attribute of God?
I would like to note just for the record that the name of the book is "Revelation" not "Revelations". There is but one revelation of which the book speaks and that is defined in the opening sentence: "The revelation of Jesus Christ..."
So far, I have loved everything Google has released. However, this one is going too far for my taste. The last thing I want to do is download and install a big pack of software...especially all at once. I got the same feeling when I saw "Google Pack" as I do when you run a Dell restore CD and look at all the crap that comes preinstalled.
#28: The British buy the most compact discs in the world - an average of 3.2 per year, compared to 2.8 in the US and 2.1 in France.
I didn't realize you could buy 3.2 of a CD. How do they manage that? #32. "Restaurant" is the most mis-spelled word in search engines.
They misspelled "mis-spelled". It's not hyphenated. 38. Nasa boss Michael Griffin has seven university degrees: a bachelor's degree, a PhD, and five masters degrees.
While this is impressive, we didn't know this last year? 45. C3PO and R2D2 do not speak to each other off-camera because the actors don't get on.
They don't get on WHAT? 54. Deep Throat is reportedly the most profitable film ever. It was made for $25,000 (£13,700) and has grossed more than $600m.
What do you expect from porn? 78. One in 18 people has a third nipple.
You mean to tell me every 18th person I pass has a third nipple? BS. You couldn't pay me to believe that crap. 92. You are 176 times more likely to be murdered than to win the National Lottery.
Yes, but #61 says you can bet on your own death! It's a win-win situation!
It depends...I'm 25 and I have a 2 year old and a 5 week old. At times, they are both crying and once and though I've learned patience, I still want to pull my hair out. I'd love nothing more than to be able to jump in the car, drive off, and listen to music. Music is my escape.

In Korea, only old people space-walk.
In Soviet Russia, space walks on YOU!

I can launch programs via typed commands in my Start->Run box of with Slickrun. And I can switch between windows with Alt-Tab. Why do I need this?

$80? That's all? I wish my wife would buy $80 jeans. Try $120+.
A goatse reference that is helpful and useful? Inconceivable!
That word...I do not think it means what you think it means.
I peed on a TV once.

Nope... "they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the Word of their testimony"
Yeah, but can it fix their bed-snide manner?
Someone ought to tell them 200 meters won't quite get you on the moon...
I have a feeling that there's more than meets the eye here...
They should just install 3 sea shells in each bathroom. That will make a cleaner society for us all.
Only question now is..what are those three sea shell for?
At first glance, you would think that Practical Mono...
No...at first glance, I think this is a book about how to get the kissing disease easier.

One of my favorite lines from M*A*S*H is when Radar is discussing with a soldier about getting a tattoo from a particular place:
Solider: Oh yeah, those guys are as good as Rembrandt!
Radar: Who?
Soldier: You know, Rembrandt, the painter.
Radar: Oh. We have aluminum siding.

The obvious solution is to cut down all the trees.
