When you say "usual moron who has never had kids" does that include morons that choose not to have kids, but still has a firm grip on how to deal with a child?
I agree, teaching a toddler right and wrong, common sence, and good values is difficult. But 90% of the adults out there now don't have any one of these qualities. How do you expect a child to learn one thing if so many people around him are doing another?
I have seen very smart and respectful toddlers, and terrible terrible, parent kicking ones too. It's all about the parents and the environment they are brought up in. If you're persistant with your child, he/she will eventually learn. But giving in is the worse thing you can do, no matter how cute they are~
And teaching a dog anything is easy, repitition on a True and False test, with rewards for right answers will get you a nice dog into physics~
Look, I've seen it happen, maybe the door was a piece of shit (it was off of a 'Vets Armored' truck), but I've seen an arrow go through the door of an armored vehical.
*shrugs*
I don't have any proof aside from that, take it as you will.
The materials of both an arrow and a bullet make up a big part of it. Also take into consideration the point of an arrow to the rounded/flat head of a bullet. I am aware of some higher caliber rounds being pointed, as the same with some arrow heads being flat. But the size of the area the force is being distrubuted through makes all the difference.
You'll have to go on my word for now. I was involved in a field test a few years ago. We took a standard door off of an armored truck and attempted to put several different types of rounds through it. Most impressive and suprising was the Bow. It all depends on the angle of impact and the distance.
I will have some more worthy sources for you by the end of the night.
90% of body armor will not stop an arrow with a pointed head.
The standard bow hunter's bow and arrow has enough force when shot properly to penetrate the walls of an armored car, and the people inside.
It's all about angle, speed, size, weight, and the materials used when considering any armor. No one can be invincible, but they can be properly equipped. How many soldiers have died of arrow wounds in the last 50 years?
If the material is as solid as they claim it is it should reduce the impact of the bullet hitting. Reducing the impact is all well and good, but it's only so effective. To truly protect someone from a shot you need to be able to disperse the impact force throughout the entire vest.
Why limit it to just one? It's not like there's only enough for one or the other. And even still, why would you give it to the police and not the military? The police very rarely have to worry about getting hit with shrapnel, or being bombarded with explosives.
I think it would be awesome for both to have it, but really, our guys in the field are having a hard enough time as it is, they don't need out police force to be better equipped. Especially in times of war.
I'm sure it's not going to generate enough electricity to make too much of a difference unless you're in a heavy traffic area. But consider this; How many times have you seen the power go out and the traffic lights are down? That's a real pain in the neck because not only are the local authorities delaing with a storm, but traffic control and accidents now. For street lights and traffic lights this could be an awesome idea.
As for the amount of gas it's going to use... A little bump like that should be nothing in comparison to some of the pot-hole filled roads I've driven through. It's no larger than a speed bump, and this sinks into the ground when you hit it.
"IE still has an enormous bulk of users, but those they've lost are power users and web developers. Web developers, more than anyone, are the ones who have controlled browser success. They're not OSS fanboys, they are the ones that want the best working conditions available. They took IE4 over Netscape 4, and FF over IE6. They have no issue reverting to IE if IE resumes its best-of-category status."
Agreed...
Whichever browser conforms closest to the current web standards is the one that the most developers will use. Altho, I personnally use the 4 major browsers to check my sites before I publish. I don't trust dreamweaver~ >:D
It's called "deep pockets", you sue the guy highest on top for the most amount of money. Sueing the employee that makes $56,000 compared to the company that makes anual numbers in the millions is a big difference~
It's nearly impossible to get an un-biased review of Microsoft and it's actions anymore. MS employes will be loyal, as they should, unless something really bad is going down. Users of the internet, unless totally protected by the candy coating that is AOL, or has a general liking to MS, will almost always be for *nix, or some other o/s, however obscure.
So saying something is irrelevent because it's biased is really pointless, because in this argument, MS is either hated, or loved. Especially here, in the middle of the battlefield.
If you read the site a lil more it tells you that the passme/passthrough "redirects the DS to a GBA Flash cart, so you can run your own program on the Nintendo DS. It requires the use of a commercial DS cart and a GBA Flash cart to work." (DSPassme.com) Basicly, you upload your program to a flashcart, than onto passme, and you can run it off of the DS. Obviously it's more work than that, but thats the idea.
"that's not acceptable. I won't bother."
The project hasent been subbmitted for your approval, these are some people doing this for fun, and possibly a chance to take over the world (I havent read the blog yet). If you can find a better way good luck. But, to answer your question, the card does stick out of the back, and you dont have to plug it into your pc. Altho that could be fun to test programs instead of flashing and re-flashing them.
"At what point will I be able to somehow plug a little all-rewritable DS card into my computer (preferably my mac), load a linux kernel onto it, and then three days later just pull it out of my pocket, stick it in the DS, and boot?"
The best way to do it, would be get "passme" and a GBA flash read/writer and do it like that. Or you could build your own. It's not impossible, I just dont think anyone has done it yet.

Indeed... But in 20+ years when Intel, Microsoft, and IBM are all gone-ish everyone can look back and go "I told ya so!".
