its just a matter of what weird foreign flavors invade your mouth when you put it on your cereal. *that* is why we are using HFCS and what not. it tastes more like regular sugar, (while being cost effective) than all the other weird substitutes.
waiter, i'd like some of the crack this man is smoking. since when does 'bottled water' have HFCS in it? I'm looking at the label of my water, and it says 'water, trace minerals for flavor' And personally, i never add HFCS to any steak, and they turn out better than the ones in the restaurants. you *may* want to loosen your tinfoil hat a little, it seems to be cutting off circulation to the logic centers of your brain.
if i had to guess, its the system a few of my professors used. How it worked was, at the start of the semester, you got 2000 points. for every class you missed, you lost like 10 points, every paper was worth 100 points, and if you scored a 98, you lost 2 points obviously. coursework had set points as well, and so on and so forth. At the end of the semester, you had to have like 1600 - 1700 points for a D, 1701 - 1800 for a C 1801-1900 for a B and 1901-2000 for an A or some similar scale. basically, its a normal score tally system, but it makes it a little more simple to determine if you can blow off a test or something. i know i have the scales at the end wrong, because if you did well enough, you could skip an entire test, and still get an A for the class.
I was merely pointing out the hilarity of yammering about performance hit on machines that are orders of magnitude more powerful than the computers used to go to the moon.
My sugestion to you is to look into non-medical hearing devices. search the cabelas website for 'ear' and it will return half a dozen hearing aids designed for hunters. I'm fairly sure that most of them are the same hearing aid you would get from a doctor, only it is not marked as a medical aid, thus not subject to the insane prices. There are many to chose from, in a wide range of prices, from as high as the ones your doctor had, to as little as 40$ One can assume you will get what you pay for, but if you can make a 140$ hunting hearing aid serve your purposes, then more power to you.
so instead of releasing the vapor when burning the methane, you capture it, condense it (not hard, as you have this huge supply of ice sitting around to help you cool it off) , and use the fresh water for any number of things. its 'not being retarded 101'
i think that the parent was suggesting the reverse, as a potential cure. I forget what its called and cant be bothered to google for it, but isn't there a disease where the cure is radiation to kill off all existing bone marrow, then transplant new in from a clean donor? it seems like this would theoretically be a long term cure for an aids patient. the downside being that the procedure is wildly painful, expensive, and dangerous. i *think* that is what the parent was suggesting.
gamestop does this itself. they open the boxes, take the disc, and keep it behind the counter. that way people don't open the boxes and steal the disc. when you buy it, they go into the drawer, find a disc, let you inspect it (for scratches and whatnot) then put it in the box for you.
Its ok though, because it offset the effect of the three gorges dam in china, which made the days longer. http://www.theenergylibrary.com/node/11435 sure, that dam lengthened the day by less than the earthquake shortened it, but we also have to account for other dams that have lengthened days.
Quake Gauntlet is a circular saw with a lot of extension cords, and the guard removed. (or one of those battery powered ones, but they don't last long enough to win a deathmatch with)
news article seems to indicate they where macbooks, so we can assume OS X. if this is the case, the most/facepalm part of the whole thing is that the webcam on macbooks has a bright green LED when they are on.
Sir, i herby award you one internet, as you have taken the simple task of deriding a person, and raised it well beyond an art form, nay, i say that this may be the grand masterpiece of insults, distilled from the very essence of the tears of a thousand children, who ran home crying after being called 'doodie head'.
I am humbled, to have witnessed such a performance.
vertical rotation turbines don't kill near as many birds as normal wind turbines. that being said, i lived with a small residential turbine for years, and it never killed one bird.

the hilarious fact being, that vast amounts of bottled water, comes from municipal water supplies. (aka, tap water).

god i wish i had mod points, so i could rank you down so hard your head would spin. The people who parrot that line off are the reason there *is* DRM.

was going to say the same thing. screw complex technical solutions, use the low tech "pull some freaking cable" solution.
Wow. That has to be the most educational post on /. i've read in a month of sundays. thank you.
