Thats a list of credits that includes Boyles Law, high speed photography, modern electrocardiogram, X-ray crystallography, Boolean algebra, the basis of all modern computer arithmetic, the induction coil and discovering the principle of the dynamo, leading a team that discovered a treatment for leprosy, 'Fitzgerald-Lorenz Contraction', 'Stokes Theorem' and Stokes-Navier Equations', the hypodermic needle, Kelvin, aaaaand naming the 'electron' and measured its charge
I would postulate that in fact the pedestal is yours sir.
Or maybe these artists actually care about their art more than the corporate bottom line, and thus deserve enough of your respect to buy their entire album or none at all.
If that is the case, why have multiple tracks on the CD? If it truly was only to be appreciated as an entire album, would the artists not also insist on also having only one track?
How hard is it to unplug a network cable in your world? Don't use a machine with a WiFi card. Low level wipe the drives from a bootable CD when you're done. Not really rocket science.
100% agree with you. The stock UI is horrible on PC, it is clearly designed for a console, and the PC version suffers for it. There is a mod you can get that "un-Xboxes" the UI, I forget the name of it... but it made a world of difference in my opinion. I run in 1600x1200 because I have a large monitor. I don't need each inventory item to be 3 inches across.
I AM part of the unwashed masses. I might get hit by lighting tomorrow or die on my way to work too, I don't hide under my bed (or invade countries, or seize padded bras and hair gel) because of it. My point is this current "enhanced security" IS flying into a tizzy, and I fear that no one is acknowledging that.
This just in: Racial profiling to obtain a 3% success rate "good enough for me... as long as I don't fit that profile."
I realise we are talking about a religion, but racial/ethnic/religious profile takes too long. And how much ill will do you think is being created by this kind of behavior?
At this point someone wishing to use airliners in conjunction with a terror ploy have little choice but to destroy the aircraft outright
You sure about that? What about 10 modestly trained private pilots flying light aircraft loaded with explosives. Do you think they could use airliners in conjunction with a terror ploy in some way? Maybe come in with transponders off at 10 different airport hubs and ram airliners taxiing or landing?
You can't fight terrorism with violence. The terrorists will always fight dirtier and sink lower than you are willing to go. When people start to understand that (please God, soon) then we can really start to "fight" terrorism.
Wrong. The goal of terrorism is to terrorize. To instill fear. Sensationalist fear mongering from the media outlets combined with traditional sheep-herd mentality and politicians realizing they can stay in power through manipulating a panicked public creates conditions where terrorism really can flourish.
In all of this, the one thing of which I am certain is that the timing is deeply political. This is more propaganda than plot. Of the over one thousand British Muslims arrested under anti-terrorist legislation, only twelve per cent are ever charged with anything. That is simply harrassment of Muslims on an appalling scale. Of those charged, 80% are acquitted. Most of the very few - just over two per cent of arrests - who are convicted, are not convicted of anything to do terrorism, but of some minor offence the Police happened upon while trawling through the wreck of the lives they had shattered.
I don't live in the UK, so I don't know. But if this is really happening, what better way to breed mistrust and hatred towards the government? That is scary stuff.
So what was in the bottle, do they say? If it was a bottle of "liquid explosives" why didn't she detonate it as soon as they started questioning her? An explosion in a crowded security screening line would have some terrorist appeal would it not?
So your Israeli friend lives in constant fear? Of what, dying beacuse of a bombing? What are the statistics for being killed in a bombing? And what are the statistics for driving a car? Also, is he still alive? Perspective people. Get some.
Firstly, the 7/7 bombs were reported to be TATP. This compound is made with acetone, hydrogen peroxide and drain cleaner. The ingredients are liquid, yes, but the end product is a powder. Creating TATP requires access to a cooler or ice water bath, it is not something you can whip up in a bathroom.
The hysteria this has caused is mind boggling. There are an infinite number of ways terrorists could attack random innocent civilians. It is not, repeat not, possible to protect everyone from everything. Banning iPods and water bottles is not making anyone safer. It is an attempt to appear that something is "being done". It's a pacifier for the masses.
Also, it doesn't really matter if Line 6's products came first: they clearly didn't do anything to defend the mark in the context of the iPod mark, period, so the point is moot.
I'm sorry but that is just stupid. Hmmmm, maybe just maybe they didn't feel a portable music player was in any related to their product. Face it: All Apple fanboi-ism in the world can't change the fact that this is total BS.
So how do you fight Jack? Well first off all you don't fight him directly. He's like the fucking Candy Man. Mention his name and you give him power. Arguing with him is a waste of time. Jack or someone like him will always be there beating their chest and begging for air time. You'll never change his mind. What you can change is the validity of his arguments and we don't do that during a televised debate.
...
All we have to do, is not be who he says we are.

I really wholeheartedly agree. Giving him attention when he pulls this stupid crap is not going to make him go away. He's an attention-whoring lunatic. He WANTS us to get worked into a tizzy.
North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska are all good candidates.
You say Iowa is safe because of corn? Bugger off. North Dakota produces more durum and spring wheat than the rest of the country combined. They "grow" cows in ND, SD and NE too. Go pick on Nevada, or maybe Wyoming.
Bob is only about managing food production, it does nothing with labor. A person still needs to manage the employees. The system knows historical demand, has cameras with image processing aimed at parking lot enterances to determine real time demand, knows how long items take to cook (prep time) and what is currently being ordered. It can then make predictions about what should be cooked to deal with future demand.
One valuable thing it does is prevent over-production, it keeps managers from "flooring" the cooks and making too much of an item only to have it be thrown out after the hold time expires after the rush dies.
The issue here is that the computer can't quit. You can have a manager that is great at directing the teenagers. When he gets fed up and quits you have to go find another person who can stand herding teenagers for a living. With this system, they just have to do what the blinking touchscreens tell them to do. No knowledge (at ALL) necessary.

You forgot to include "Perpetual Motion Quackery" in that list.

Jesus, who pissed in your Cheerios? Ass.
If they can guarantee containment

Testing security only emboldens the terrorists!
I wish I still had mod points, that is the funniest thing I've read today!

You honestly think a commercial airline pilot is not trained to handle rapid loss of cabin pressure? If so, you're very, very mistaken.
And what's your big solution to the problem?
I don't have one. I maintain that the current theory of fear mongering is not it.

How would they find that?
You must not watch enough pr0n... Use your imagination (or don't, you might not really want to know).
A side note, just wait for someone to try this. Next thing at airport security: The rectal inspection line. Lube is only a $2.50 premium.

Or Gametap for that matter...
which is where God, and Jobs and Wozniak Intended it to be.
Gosh, with that logic every keyboard should also have an open-apple key, or shouldn't have the number "1" when a lower case L works just fine.
Macs use PC hardware now. Welcome to the real world.
