If you kill the helicopter's radios, that is almost as good. No radios = no communications. No communications = no flying in some types of airspace. No communications = no ability to tell ground units where you are. They might have a spotlight, unless the pulse kills that too. But if you kill communications, you seriously degrade the mission capability of a police helicopter.
I think you took me too seriously -- I was just pointing out that not having kids is sort of "green" in a twisted way.
Personally, this world is simply too f'd up to bring more kids into and feel good about it. And 95% of the "green" movement is about money (the whole carbon-credit ponzi scheme) and control. Maybe 5% of the movement is actually about improvements, which is a shame.
Funny. My justification for buying a 360 over a PS3 was that $300+$60 for a full game (forza 2) was cheaper than $400+$40 for a demo (gt5 prolog). Of course, that was back when both consoles were still fairly new.
I've since gone back to PCs because I want simulators, not games.
You forgot a sizeable category -- the group that won't look at any ads. Nothing advertisers do will ever please this category, but it'd probably be an eye opener if they had that number as well.
Insurance company: Well, it looks like your car was destroyed by your own actions. We're not replacing it, and we're dropping your policy. Good luck getting insurance anywhere else!
Except you'll get all your internet traffic hijacked every time a little blonde girl goes missing, or when $Celebrity farts, or when $Escort speaks up to say she and Tiger did the dirty, because to most idiots, those are emergencies that EVERYONE needs to know about RIGHT AWAY.
And what happens when you're trying to get to a site hosted elsewhere, but the country controlling the lines has one of those emergencies?
IIRC the Corvette has had some form of HUD for several years now, although I think it's just speed and tach readouts. And I know some of their other cars had at least an option for a HUD speedometer.
I had the same experience with private servers -- fun to mess around with for a while, quickly turned dull, and it was back to the official servers.
As for using them for training -- IF (and I don't agree with video gaming being a "sport") gaming starts going the way of spectator sports, then why wouldn't private training grounds be a legit strategy? Boxers have gyms for their training, and can even set up their own if they don't like the established gyms. Runners train on their own terms. Swimming gets more complicated because big pools are expensive, but there's nothing in the rules that say you can only train at approved facilities.
Although if you're a very low volume user, laser printers don't have the same problem with ink drying out that inkjets do.
No, I'm not talking about the driver saying that the cartridge is "expired" -- I bought a laser printer after the ink from my last HP inkjet dried up. I'm still on the "starter" toner cartridge 4 years later, and it works just as well as the day I got it.
Chances are, no one in government cares about you, or your drunken antics posted on facespace. If they did, well, you put it out in public, so quit complaining when they read it.
Take the tin foil off. You're not that interesting outside your little circle of friends.
I was addressing the 2nd part of your comment. They can find you guilty without breaking the encryption, or ever decrypting your files, because they're finding you guilty and jailing you for breaking a different law.
They end up jailed for breaking the law that says "you have to turn over your encryption keys". They're not jailed for the original offense. I would imagine that the investigation continues, but by not revealing their encryption keys they then break a different law.

Well, that's one way to be green -- after all, what's the carbon footprint for having and raising a kid?
Didn't notice anything on wired.com with either FF or IE.

We're (apparently) close to the first, time to start making some serious progress towards the second.
The whole project? 221+ days without sleep? I'm impressed. I start hallucinating after about 3.5 days, and collapse after about 4.

Then they can set up their own server, or have one of their friends do it, or pay someone, or just google for "World of Warcraft Private Server"
It isn't like they're hard to find.
Except the character's name wasn't Landon -- it was Londo Mollari.

Shouldn't that be:

Well, they get heavier (batteries), and weight is the enemy of handling, so I'd think they'd be underpowered and bad handling.
In other words, BMW has figured out how to make an electric "Big 3" car.
Really.

Just curious, but not wanting to waste your company's time with an info request -- what does a system like that cost?
Or it might be because it already hit the front page on Friday:

Yes, you do. They murdered someone. That is a fact, and doesn't change after a period of time.
Likewise! Of course, it'll take another 10 years for me to even think of it again, by which time I'll have forgotten. Again.
