And even if it did, it would still be ridiculous. The load characteristics of manned versus unmanned spaceflight are totally different, and more importantly the safety systems required are at a much higher level.
Sure we can't see them and nobody ever mentioned them - but that doesn't mean they aren't there. I have to say, I never saw anyone getting their fingers sliced off.
Also, for blasters - again, how do we know that the shot that is seen isn't a tracer, and using the same invisible stuff that lightsaber hand guards are made of, the main shots travel between them. Also, thereby killing the poor stormtrooper with multiple hits.
And as to the visibility from stormtrooper headgear - they were designed for clones, would they not have a precise form that wouldn't conform to Luke Skywalker's head. Maybe Boba Fett could put one on and he'd say "Wow! Great visibility, I can see everything with this."
Eircom as the provider of the physical infrastructure
and
Eircom as an ISP
This restriction is applied by Eircom the ISP to its broadband customers. They don't have any control over how other ISPs using their hardware operate.
BT and UPC were told by IRMA to implement similar restrictions. BT and UPC told IRMA to fuck off (though with more legalese).
Eircom did this because they are still based on the semi-state culture from which they came. This is also reason why they are going out of business at an alarming rate, in spite of holding all the cards.
Well, "good" using the same definition of good that you used before - the correct spelling of that, however, is "pathetic".
Strange, I would have thought that the "Philosophy for Dummies" you just bought would have "Ad Hominum" on the first page. Obviously not - when you get to page 2, get back to me.
I was watching "From the Earth to Moon", the entire series, there on Saturday and it was all great.
But I especially enjoyed the Apollo 8 episode, where they had dramatized Grumman Engineering's development of the Lunar Module.
From a software engineer's perspective, I thought to myself that there must be a huge amount to learn about the design process, interface design and large scale project management among other things from the whole Apollo project - and I was wondering if there was a book that explored all this.
After the programme was over I actually ordered "Digital Apollo" from Amazon. Maybe that's it? Any other suggestions?
They are five attempted proofs that have all been refuted quite substantially... by philosophers. Each one of them contains a fatal flaw, that granted, you need might a training in philosophy to understand.
The cosmological argument, more commonly insists that everything must have a first cause, therefore god - yet ignore the special pleading for gods. Interestingly, the wikipedia page provided does not have this flaw, but unfortunately, for it, therefore does not require the universe to have a first cause. Contingency and unmoved mover are pretty much the same.
Argument from degree fails because it is uses extrapolation beyond justifiable bounds.
And the telelogical argument contradicts itself by identifying design in contrast to nature and then proposing that therefore nature is designed.
On top of this they are all deistic, not theistic, proofs. And deism is, for practical purposes, indistinguishable from atheism.
As I sit here in the last remnants of the enlightened Irish republic (there's a joke) - I'd like to point out that athiests were very well represented in the GPO in Easter 1916 and I'm sure James Connolly is spinning furiously in his grave. If ever there was a solution desperately seeking a problem...
But anyway let me take this opportunity to say "God bless you. Mary Mc." - and while I'm at it "Fuck you, Jesus Christ, the pope, allah, mohammed etc and the various horses yous rode in on" and plenty more blasphemy that would never have seen the light of day had it not been for this outrageous attempt by a truly pathetic government to divert focus off their shystering and ineptitude.
Driving is Ireland is really simple because of the efficient layout of our road network.
The directions for anywhere you want to go in Ireland are simple:
1. Drive to directly Dublin 2. Drive to directly your destination
(Being from Dublin, I would suggest that step 2 is unnecessary - but I would say that)
Also, due to the voices, I doubt that we follow GPS at all. If it's English - we'll not listen to it, 600 years of oppression yada yada yada, and if it's Irish, we won't let some muck-savage/D4 ponce tell us what to do.
Although, well probably still end up in the dead-end 'cos that's where all the craic is.
Slashdot Mirror
There's an xkcd that deals with exactly that.
I just can't remember which it is....
"No life, as we know it, Jim, without water and raw materials."
What? The Internet?
I'm not particularly keen on government interference, but without it we mightn't have the Internet in the first place.
Would you like some cake?
RTFA yourself: it says nothing of the sort.
And even if it did, it would still be ridiculous. The load characteristics of manned versus unmanned spaceflight are totally different, and more importantly the safety systems required are at a much higher level.
The Google Lunar X Prize has nothing to do with manned space travel. It's about launching a robot that can deliver HD images from the moon.
Maybe their plan is to go up there and launch the robot from orbit - just seems like an awful waste of energy.
Tag this OMGVelociraptors!
In fact I thought everyone had.
This isn't a technical issue - it's personal.
What if you make the scissors really really small?
Ha ha! Now we have all your details...
We're going to get you....
And your little dog too!
While the counties are surely in the Republic, I seriously doubt that "Ulster says No" applies to meteors, exploding blimps or celestial pyrotechnics.
(Unless, of course, it was one of them popish meteors)
How do we know that they don't have hand guards?
Sure we can't see them and nobody ever mentioned them - but that doesn't mean they aren't there. I have to say, I never saw anyone getting their fingers sliced off.

There seems to be some confusion here:
Eircom as the provider of the physical infrastructure
and
Eircom as an ISP
This restriction is applied by Eircom the ISP to its broadband customers. They don't have any control over how other ISPs using their hardware operate.

You seem to know an awful lot about this...
Where exactly were you on the night of July 22nd?
You clearly haven't seen enough Zombie movies.
In soviet russia new memes... something, something.
Good answers.

Nobody seems to have picked up on this yet.

Now who do I write the 25,000 cheque to?
...but I agree with you.
Who the hell are "unnamed corporate partners"? And why are the police doing anything at their behest?
I'm not usually paranoid, but something is rotten in the state of Queensland.
Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer promised me something a long time ago.
And this is one delivery they won't miss.

Hold your fire. There are no life forms. It must have been short-circuited.

Oh wait - I forgot, it's just un-applied sociology.
