Foot-pounds are not exactly sane. I can look at MJ/kg and know that it means megajoules per kilogram. Foot-pounds? How many stomps does it take? Oh, you have to multiply by some weird decimal. That makes total sense.
Try giving her Ambien. It has been very successful with vegetative-state stroke victims (I know she's not vegetative). It's pretty amazing how well it works.
Agreed - way too slow. I worked picking raspberries and boysenberries a few years ago, and if I'd taken 9 seconds per berry I'd have been fired within hours. I'd have been averaging about 50 berries per minute. I'm not sure how many cars per library of congress that is...
Um, no. Size is a factor, but it's not the only factor by any means, nor even the main one. Sun exposure, proximity to the trunk/main stem, number of other fruit on the same plant, and water available also have major effects on the the amount of sugar in each individual fruit.
*Right-wing hat* Yes! And society should also not waste any money on people with incurable/terminal illnesses, or people with physical or mental impairments. */Right-wing hat*
America's Army made you 'train' with some weapons before you could play. This included things like pulling the firing handle and clearing jams. Basically it was a pain in the ass. I am all for realism in games - one of the reasons I don't play MMOs like WoW is because the combat and movement/collision are so unrealistic - but things like simulating the annoying parts of firearm use just aren't fun.
I was walking home from Christmas in the Park in a large group of people on Park Rd when I saw it, between 22:00 and 22:20. It was in line with the road. It was heading towards Ponsonby - away from the Domain. If you extend the line made by Park Rd, you arrive at the corner of Mackelvie St (which is the real spelling; poor editing in the 'article') and Ponsonby Rd. Fricken awesome!
I played UT2K4 for a long time. The minigun in that game is a LOT more accurate than similar weapons in other games I've played. If your tracking is good, you can continuously hit an enemy from instant-of-sight at 80-100 meters, say (which is when you start shooting at them) to instant-of-kill.

If most of the world went to Hell, the US would be near the front of the line.

My point was that dolphins can drown.
A fishing net is not harmful to dolphins until humans pull it out of the water.
Except that dolphins need to surface to breathe.

I could do it once I've conquered the world...
The games weren't easy... From what I remember most of them involved torturous pseudodeath if you lost...
Fear? Why? You don't want to play games for the rest of your life?

Sounds like the Posleen. What you needed were engineers and ACS :P
The country next to Korea is Japan. Home of such things as kamikaze and even, bonsai.
We in NZ get to watch Space Katrina tear apart Space Louisiana from a safe distance.

Somebody mod parent up. That was the most interesting and insightful post I've read in a long time.
Or the geeks will adapt and be smarter and fitter. Or at least, we can hope.
