Clearly you need a 4WD to get to the road which is fair enough.
But surely can simply take it out of 4WD into 2WD for hard surface driving. Also what on earth is the engine capacity on that beast.
Indeed, we may well need to do a test flight with either a dummy mass or just one probe of similar mass to test the theory. Solar sails wuld also alow for more-probe to be sent as a sail is very light and requires no fule and so can run indefinatley, the acceleration is slow compared to chemical rockets but it is contant.
Discovered by the Frence, it is a low frequency noise that when played lound enough causes lose of bowl control. It's hard to right whenall you want is to get some clean pants.
I also beleave another frequency causes vomiting, angain hard to lob a brick when you are reciting welsh towns (Clanwjehrjbfbd_go_go_go_urg)
You'd save a lot less fuel by getting all your cars mpg up, the average modern faily (5 seaters) cars in the uk can squeaze 40mpg petrol and 60+mpg deisel. This is achived by geting the most out of the engine hence the reason most cars on the road you see in the UK average at the 1.8l-2.2l size(sure we have some SUV's and performance cars with more, 4.2+??? why man why?).
All said I have nothing agains 4x4's provided they actualy get used for the perpose they were built! there are not many dirt tracks in london people!
Maybe but I think speeding is an overated crime. Granted in urban area/near schools the speed limmit should be followed but on Motorways/Freeways it is very different.
In the UK the limmit on dual carrageways and motorways is 70mph; a large percentage of people reguarly exceed this limmit with out causing any harm (upto a limmit of say 90) and road stats claim that less than 7% of accidents rate excessive speed as the cause of the accident. If we want safer roads then teaching people: 1) How to drive safely (leaving space all round the car, aka the cell technique) 2) Educating the dangers of fatigue 3) getting old people doing 60 in the fast lane off the god damn road.
GB-PVR is free and supports most Hardware encoding PVR cars (In my case the PVR-250). It's free to use and has quite a few plug-ins and a TV guide.
I currently run it under win2k but I'll be upgrading to XP soon to take dvantage of some of the other features.
Cost of PVR - £240
Cost of DVD R to store films £12
Recording TV with out VCR resolution loss and in digital Stereo with free Bleb TV guide to boot.
Priceless.
Has anyone considered writing a P2P webserver? The pages are stored on multiple boxes and are fetched via a bit-torrent-esk protocal.
Admittedly dymanic content such as ASP/perl would be tricky however it would reduce server load.
How long does the batt last?
Charging Times?
Maximum walking/runing speed?
Max Lifting power?
Can you call out the AA (AAA to your colonial cousins) if it wont start?
And finaly are there force limmiters to prevent joint damage from over exersion?
If the stats are good I'm signing up with Exo-Squad!
The answer is yes it can travel faster thatn light becuase it is powered by 170+ star destoryer hyperspace motivators, it has a top speed of 1.3C in hyperspace (or subspace if you will) this equates to significantly faster than light as hyperspace takes advantage by going in a streight line accross the ripples in spacetime.
Also we do not know how close the stars systems are to each other, I would suspect they are very as in EOS the falcon was able to get the bespin with sub-light only engines.
Joel was funny but I found Mike Nelson had a better batting average.
Top ten episodes:
1)Space Muntany
2)Puma Man
3)"He tryied to kill me with a fork lift truck!"(you know the one)
4)Sequal to 3
5)The Deadly bees
6)Prince of Space
7)The Incredible melting man
8)Parts: The clonus horror (saw a trailer for the 2005 remake!)
9)Wearwolf (or should it be waar-wilf)
10)Gorgo
What ever happened to nuclear batteries that used Strongtium 90 decay (Alpha) to generate power.
Last I heard they were being tested in some millitary laptops and could run full tilt for around 2 years befor they need replacement, with a life span like that they could charge quite abit for a 9V battery and would be quite re-cylcable as only the radioactive isotope would need replacing to re-activate them. As I recall the only issue was that no matter how much or little they were used they would only last aslong as the isotope did so they would neot be of anyuse in TV remotes but then they are really aimed at hi-ampage apps.
On a safty note alpha radiation can be effectivelty blocked by paper so a thin steal/aluminium case wouldd provide sufficient protection and the quantity of radioactive material is not enough to cause an insident.
In defense of the sci-fi channel Mystery Science Theater 3000 was kick ass!
WHY GOD WHY DID YOU GET IT CANCELED?? DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A BIG MAN TO TOY WITH ME!!!!
I can but hope MST3K-TNG is made one day.
I do agree about sliders starting to suck. SG-1 I can say (I am only on the season 5 box set) is so far brilliant and I now have a secret supply of Jaffa cakes I eat when watching.
Enterprise had so much potential, but they made one tiny screw-up, they got ride of all the science that star trek fans love.
There was the odd ref to some exotic particle or space-time distortion but appart from that it was kept too basic. The net result a series with too much science/not enough action and nudity for TV Joe public and too little science for the average trek-fan.
I want a series set between TOS and TNG, the ship would be less able and so easier to get into a pickle.
Would that not depend on the DB architecture, a distributed DB taking advantage of multiple multi-core cell could extract data at a fantastic speed if the data was evenly split accross the CPU 'domanins' (ie 10 processors each with 10% of the data and a hard drive). Each CELL 'work unit' could return party of the solution befor finaly combining the result on which ever unit is the least busy.
I am not a nudist but I see no shame in the human form, secondly given the choice between appearing a bit nude to a security gaurd or herterling balls first towards the ground at 600 mph straped to the remaining half of a 747 I think I know waht I prefere. No one ever complains about there doctor, are gynacologists to avert there eyes now? Also it's not like the whole plain sees your sinful dangly bits.
Privacy is a privilage not a right people, for the most part we in the west are privialged to alot of privacy, there are times when this privilage must be traded for security.

could save a fortune on the launch cost, all you need to do is get them in high orbit then deploy a vast sail and enjoy free power.
PPC, many LRM-5's and medium Clan Lasers + Double cap heatsinks and enlarge it.
Oh yes I want a DC ATLAS!!!
Still give it IR vision and it's just the right size to find lost contact lenses.
To Japanamation to transformers! It was perfect as it was!
Anyway my underpants are now at defcon 2 with excitement!
At the OS/2 adds. proudly lording this new "Mul-tie tasking" feature that my MIG had been doing for years.
wow it can print and I don't have to wait!! (so I could print, play music and write a program symaltaniously)
Error: Spellchecker missing, using dyslexia instead.
I spit on them! they are for art students and fools! The only good 68xxx box is an Amiga!
Come one guys one mouse button! what is that about, sigh. I miss my A4000/030 and mocking PC/mac owners.

I will only be impressed if they have gun platforms like starship troupers!

Good title/Bad title, either way better than attack of the cloans.
I think the choice of director is clear. Quentin Tarentino, come on it would be great!
"Get the wookie"
"the wookie's sleeping"
"well wake him up then!"
That would be in the (star wars) future as even in the first film (at time of release voyager had not realy go that far) it was set a long time ago;
If you dont send the money with in two weeks they start sending the files back, bit by bit.
