I once wrote a paper on "Gravity Gnomes" - the little creatures that pull everything down and eat energy (that's what causes friction!). As far as I know this is just an alternative supporting theory.
Fortunately the paper was for English, not Physics.
I was watching Iron Man on TV not too long ago and saw a similar thing - but even better they put all these "DVD extras" in the middle to give away the next scene and explain the previous one - entirely ruining the story of the movie.
The best part was when they spent a while explaining how a scene was done and how the actors felt, then had to cut the scene to save time on TV.
Breaking the movie up that much just makes it not an enjoyable experience.
Paul isn't nuts - he's just has opinions that the vast majority of Americans disagree with. In the Republican party he has a select group of supporters, but it's capped at around 20% of Republicans.
The media doesn't cover him because he's not very interesting. His extreme views mean he's not going to win, and his solid consistency means there's rarely anything new to report on.
Most people will say they're in favor of cutting down the military, but pulling out and creating a vacuum might just put the Taliban back in power or leave the door open for Iran or North Korea to attack other countries.
"Increasing efficiency" sounds great at first look too, but it would be very unpopular if the nation's top employer (the government) laid off most of the employees and at the same time cut back the social safety nets.
I like most people enjoy having the services that the government provides, like roads, schools, protection, etc.
But would he really want a car without any heat, vents, windows that open, radio, electric starter, adjustable seats, poor mileage (no computer control on the engine, no wind resistant design), not to mention all the other little things I didn't mentions since I'd classify them as safety features?
In the web world it helps to have a database managing concurrent reads/writes and access. Set up your file IO wrong for your csv file and a search bot could accidentally wipe your data.
Making a game of Tetris is pretty simple. The cool part of this project is the wireless controlled LED bars they built and the design of those. I didn't see any specs for those, but that would be something interesting to see.
I can't speak for the submitter, but having been to an amusement park, I'd assume the 8 channels will be for 8 sections of the park, coming out of crappy speakers (outdoors bolted to buildings or in fake rocks).
Probably going to want them all to be able to have separate music playing, but also the ability to do park wide events and make announcements randomly throughout the day with appropriate fading.
The iPod system might be simple, but I don't think it'll cut it.
Well, it'd be better to catch it early, rather than wait for it to be widespread, in which case people would be saying "It's common practice, everyone does it routinely".
That's fine to search her - but they should be aware she's only 4, so more care needs to be taken. Since the grandmother was taken aside for setting off the metal detector, send the girl through the metal detector again. If they absolutely must pat her down, at least have the parent with her.
What pisses me off are the people who think that wealth redistribution in the form of carbon-credit trading will do anything to solve the problem, if there really is a problem.
Why wouldn't it? It worked for for sulfur dioxide, not like it's an unproven theory.
I've seen plenty of TVs with VCR/DVDs in them. There's no reason a computer need moving parts - typically just optical drives and fans need to move. Solid state disks and the Internet replace drives, and low power CPUs mean that fans aren't needed either.

It wouldn't pass modern day safety requirements (that's safety for you and the ones around you). There are reasons for a lot of the features in cars.
Too be fair, he ended up paying the sales tax to MA even though he wasn't required to.
It seemed more like a rich guy move of needing a separate yacht for each city he visits
That's a bit more dangerous of a solution and probably would create some issues with shipping the devices.
Did you just compare a company discontinuing a service for new customers to rape?
You're still getting to keep your unlimited data plan, but if you want to upgrade to 4G, you need to upgrade your plan as well.

Fox News is pretty big and there are lots of examples of them leaning far right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News_Channel_controversies
You mean the mass media is heavily slanted away from the extreme right wing once you exclude fox news
'apt-get' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I don't plan to do any pro image work, and I don't have the best monitor either. At certain angles I can't even see the scroll bar.
I had the same issue with it, but it seemed to be just when starting up, after a couple minutes it sped up a bit more.
Wasn't a big fan of their dark gray on light black theme.
I've been following the Opera development team and they haven't changed the UI recently, so I think Firefox is safe for a while.

A very concerned bum asked me about that one time while I was walking around with a hard hat on.
I told him "No, solar panels won't suck up all the sun, they just used the wasted sunlight, so there will still be enough for you"
Well, it'd be better to catch it early, rather than wait for it to be widespread, in which case people would be saying "It's common practice, everyone does it routinely".
Good call - if my Radio and GPS were integrated, sexy killer robots might sabotage my car.

No need to have a super computer built into my TV sucking power when all I need is one good enough to stream video.

No, all those things are crap compared to the wealth of features and connectivity we have now.
A flaw in a car required a full recall to repair it.
TVs could only watch content dictated by the cable company.
Smart phones can do a crap load of handy things.
