In the end, our nuclear arsenal serves one purpose: deterrence.
Is that true? We nuked two japanese cities during a war.. and I could easily imagine a situation where a nukes would be useful. Suppose in the next great war (seems inevitable at this point) that 3 armored divisions of very angry russian soldiers are on route to, Poland, lets say... what would be the most efficient way to neutralize them? Nuclear bombs I say.
I don't think Microsoft really cares if they win or lose this lawsuit. The message has been sent to new upstarts, either you pay microsoft their tax or face death by lawyers.
I have to wonder if this story is accurate, though. Maybe it is, but snapping keys into place on keyboards seems like a perfect job for high speed robots
That's what I thought as well but a few weeks ago I was watching a movie called, "Baraka" and one of the sequences shows these oriental cogs slapping away, endlessly... key after key.. slightly depressing. People are just that cheap. It was a mindless clip of film without narration but showed enough to convince me.
Wait a second, the 407 is clearly marked as a toll road and the existing highways that run parallel will take you to the same destination albeit with more congestion.. The motorist has a clear option that won't turn into a 18 hour delay.
What's being proposed in this story presents a far different scenerio where the motorist, if they want to avoid the toll road, will have to navigate through a whole bunch of sidestreet, county roads, red lights, lower speed limits, way different
Do we really want courts deciding scientific fact?
I'm not seeing this the same way you are. What happened here is the court judged the evidence for vaccines causing autism as insufficient. In same way the court decided that 'intelligent design' was not sufficiently scientific to be taught in science classes, I suppose. The door is still open for the vaccine advocates to prove their case... but they have to do the research.
Ya.. maybe you should have voted for McCain.. the same guy that said on during his nomination acceptance speech that he would vote against any bill that was filled with pork. A few weeks later he voted FOR the EESA/TARP after it was ladled up with $150 billion in pork specifically to get it through The Senate!
Ya, he's a real stand up guy.
Are rfid tags available for the consumer right now? As another person pointed out the city of london is creating a grid of tracking stations so anybody can be located and followed remotely.. but if these tags can be cloned then why not buy up a million or two rfid tags, program the buggers and distribute them throughout big cities (inside car bumpers? tractor trailers? covertly inject them in food if their small enough..) This should really cause headaches for the people tracking..
have one of the inmates smuggle in a jammer with the help of the warden/prison officials in exchange for access to the library or internet (if they have that sort of thing in prisons.) Not like a criminal will mind running a phone jammer while they're in rotting in prison, who cares.
There is a natural (organic if you want to call it that) foie gras that the spaniards market.. it's a regional duckling that gorges on the local feed before moving on. The livers are not nearly as big and the flavor isn't quite the same as force fed foie gras. Besides that, the force feeding of these ducks isn't as horrible as some people make it out to be. They just open the mouth and stick a tube down the throat, filling their tummy up with beans and stuff.. takes 4 seconds and the bird hardly makes a noise (with this happening several times a day for a couple of weeks before slaughter.) I'm sure there are some youtube videos that show it.
taking microsoft contributions to an opensource project.. whats to say that filthy assholes at microsoft won't claim some sort of protected patented IP intellectual secrets in a few years ? Trust microsoft to do the right thing? You would have to be crazy... you can be their lawyers are scheming right now.
But I can't see someone putting one of these things say in the middle of NYC, Los Angelos, or even on Long Island"
I can see it happening. And it would make a splendid tourist attraction, kind of like the Mermaid of the Sea in Copenhagen. Have little kids sit on top of it while mom & pop take a picture. That would be very cool.
Just think... The computer that you're using might be worth a million dollars, maybe 20 millions dollars if you download a lot of music. How does it feel to have a million dollars worth of product sitting next to you? Probably not as nice as if a solid gold bar were sitting there, but still, it's the same.. You are a millionaire. Go tell your friends that you're computer is worth 7 figures... cherish it, stroke it... oil it down and rub it for comfort.. until it glistens and shimmers like diamonds.
Fuck them. Will they not go away? I own 1800 cds collected over the last 15 or 20 years. I download the songs from the internet.. too lazy to rip em, so what? Fuck off already.

I thought google used low-flying planes to grab images but this must be way up there, satellites ??
air canada!
I was about to buy a few weeks ago but I've heard so many people complaining about it being "broken" on the PC.
and... you can't read text on an LCD?
However, the one sticky point is that the screen is very susceptible to direct pressure on the screen.
So... rubbing my dick on it probably isn't a good idea?
amazon did a heckuva job developing a black & white handheld.... and it's only $350 ? Nice.

Sounds like ordinary blisters to me. Let them heal up and come back again in a few days and your hands will be tougher and stronger.
The french didn't surrender !

Mine too and look how I turned out.
but is the royal family censoring news stories that publicize their role in censoring stories about them?

Newegg ships to canada... type in newegg.ca. All of the parts are shipped from their u.s. warehouses in NJ or California.
Is that a challenge you're proposing?
