All *you* remember are the bootleg pissing decals. (he never licensed the characters for stuff like that, which his why, despite great demand, there is no 'official' Hobbes stuffed animal) The rest of us remember 18 books worth of childhood with a real tiger as a best pal, and awesome adventures.
The pissing decals are all bootlegs, Watterson never licensed the characters. Go read up on Watterson's views on comics and business and the like before you accuse him of that shit, totally backwards from his philosophy.
God I hope you are trolling. The 'Calvin pissing on "insert logo here" was not drawn by Watterson. He refused to license the likenesses of his characters for a variety of reasons, so all the decals you hate are bootleg drawings by someone looking to cash in on another persons work.
That was my first thought. Try using your iPad with any accuracy while falling down a flight of stairs in a barrel, and you have an idea of how idiotic touch screen only controls are for spaceflight if anything at all goes wrong.
I found that shampoo is the perfect face wash, assuming you have your shampoo dialed in for the kind of hair you have (oily, dry, thin, whatever). When I quit buying 'face scrubs' and started using the execs lather from washing my hair, as a teenager, my acne vanished.
I wash my jeans once a week, because reasons. However, I have recently (as in, today) decided to delve into the magical world of fabric dyes, and it is glorious. I recently became frustrated that all my comfortable (that is, broken in just right) jeans where about half a shade away from white, (it does not help that relaxed fit jeans only come in stone washed where I live, which I think is dumb.) Anyways, I bought a box of Rit Dye in Denim blue, and followed the instructions (3 gallons of hot water in a 5 gallon bucket, mix the dye with 2 cups of hot water, and mix into the bucket of water, soak the pants in clean water, then shake out and sink them in the bucket of dye, stir for 10 minutes, pull them out, wring, rinse starting with hot and moving to cold water until no more dye runs out, wash with mild soap, dry on low heat or hang dry). I have to admit, the results are astonishing. These pants look brand new, save for the mild fraying on various hems. A caveat, I do wear cheep jeans, (Wrangler relaxed fit, 20$ a pair usually, if i hit a sale) so I don't really mind experimenting on a pair, I'm not sure i'd put a 100$ pair of designer jeans in a bucket of dye.
The point was, if you can sync up the movements if the meatspace ride with the movements of the virtual ride, you then have an infinitely configurable ride experience, where you can change the visual setting and theme at will. They propose that there could be roller coasters in theme parks that each seat is equipped with a Rift like device, and you could select the theme of your ride, be it say, flying a fighter jet, or racing through an abandoned mine, or dodging asteroids in space, to any other of a galaxy of possibilities.
How exactly does the attacker know the passwords expiration date? Your argument that the attacker will make a box that is twice as powerful to brute force passwords is irrelevant, because they already are doing that to brute force passwords (to whatever extent people who try to break into websites brute force anything these days). The idea that poor passwords should be prompted to be changed more often is, on the surface, a great idea, but it all falls apart when you know that anyone that chooses "1234ABCD" as their password will simply change it to "5678EFGH" when forced to change it every 3 weeks. People that make their password "GRSvD@wo0tzLeMUxzPWNZSD56qwertyioup)" don't NEED to be prompted to regularly change there password, because its insanely hard to crack compared to 1234ABCD, and they probably change it of their own volition because they understand passwords.
When I worked in the 'media center' in college, (about 12 years ago) The school went through a 'get rid of old shit' phase, and were getting rid of some old student records, and they at one point had us degaussing box after box of those 8" floppies. I pulled the magnetic disk out of the inside of one, degaussed it, and kept the outside, because it was such a relic. To this day, doubt degaussing them was worth the effort, because i don't think anyone else who saw the stack even knew what they where, much less where to find a drive and machine that could read them.
The article does not exactly explain itself honestly. It just says "Concrete did it!" and leaves it at that without providing any decent argument or evidence, save for vaguely referencing a selection of public works projects enacted by various roman leaders. I think that the idea the author is trying to promote is that various roman leaders sort of got into a sort of arms race trying to procure the favor of the public through the construction various public works, like a voting hall, bridges, harbors and whatnot, all using concrete, and ran the nations economy into the ground. As I said, the problem with this hypothesis, at least in this article, is that the author does not provide anything more than an opinion, failing to back up the idea with any useful historical facts, figures or evidence.
You put it in a nuclear dry flask and leave it somewhere. Hell, if my yard was big enough, I'd let them leave one full of spent fuel in my yard. Why? because nuclear waste containers are virtually indestructible. Go on youtube and look up nuclear waste flask, and see the destructive tests they put them through. They hit one with a train going something like 100mph, and it barely scratches the paint.
Hell, I have a college degree in shop class for all the good its doing me. Unless your willing to get up and move to were the jobs are, a degree means nothing.
Huge advances in manufacturing and computers are creditable to NASA, without which, we probably would not have the smartphones with the capabilities we have today.
I say we build a probe with our best propulsion option, and huck it that way. Sure, it'll be a couple dozen generations before it gets there, but its something for the grandkids to enjoy.
Who cares, its finally an interesting enough target for us to actually think about building an interstellar probe. The sooner we launch one, the sooner our descendants get to hear back from it.
Indeed. On the rare occasion I have to man a register at work, within an hour, my back is spasming, and my legs are stocking up and getting stiff. I can work all day out on the floor stocking, lifting heavy cases, kneeling, getting up, up and down ladders with no problem, but standing in one place for an hour is brutal. I suppose if I had to do it more my body would adapt to standing still eventually, but it would be a miserable transition.
This 2 minutes to load bullshit has GOT to stop. a soldier was expiated toreload and fire in 15 seconds for at least 4 minutes. They used a paper cartridge, with the powder, wad, and ball wrapped inside, a solder would take the cartridge, rip the end off with his teeth, pour a little powder into the pan, drop the rest into the barrel, and ram it home with the rod. at this point, it was raise, cock and fire. Now, a Pennsylvania Rifle on the other hand, could take 30 seconds to a minute to reload, because the ball fit much tighter, making reloading a more difficult process. It also had a lot longer range, and was more accurate, and there was not a lot of them in existence.

I saw that one a few weeks back. Made my day. Guy has the skills.
Did you see this one? http://www.freerepublic.com/fo...

At the same time, it makes me sad because it reminds me there is nothing quite like Calvin and Hobbes, and I miss it.

As a US citizen who has never seen a vending machine with a card swipe option, I feel left out.

That is a really cool idea. I can honestly say i'd never heard anything like it before, thank you for making me smarter today.

The citizens of the USA spend more every year on new cell phones than they do on the entire budget of NASA. Pick something else to bitch about.

I imagine he means a tech in the same line of work as he is, who's workflow involves sitting in a chair watching scans finish.
Quit complaining and get back into your work cupboard you!
