How can code in the wordpad text editor leave a machine vulnerable? Can someone explain this in a way that's not super technical? Faulty code in a browser, or similar, I can understand.
What's to wonder about? You stayed tuned in all the way to number one, didn't you? To see if they played it? Seems to me like not playing the song would get more people talking about and listening to their broadcast.
Here it is 10 or so years later and you're still talking about it.
here are some bike related leads you might look for that will help with some of the design/power transfer/etc issues:
you'll have to google cos it's late and i'm too busy to dig up the links:
--chicagofreakbike.org--this one will have lots of links that will take you all over some other freakbike stuff...
--zoobomb's forums--look for the pics of bikes threads
-chunk 666-- a mutant freakbike gang from portland. their site isn't the most well laid out, but some of the stuff that's buried in there is amazing.
--the alt bike forum on bikeforums.net
--sheldonbrown.com for more basic mainstream bike mechanics
--tallbikes have some interesting issues, and some creative solutions, pictures abound.
--just google freakbike, and you'll come up with a bunch of links.
happy hunting.
I spend most of my non-working, non-sleeping time at our local bike cooperative. At last count, there are about 120 of these around the country. We take in old unused bikes in any condition, refurbish them, and get them rolling again. This is an awesome source of parts, if only to get the juices flowing or modeling, until you've got a more concrete design.
Note: At first glance, the front page of their website looks like some kind of lame link farm. Click once or twice, or enter some search terms, and see the wonder that is mcmaster-carr. This may be the most "i'm not sure what i need, exactly, but i'll know it when i see it"-friendly website or hardware store i've ever seen.
I wasn't saying that it was a great film (although it is on my list of "films i'll watch on tv, even if i already own them on dvd",) just that the idea of a product placement in a movie that takes place in another time period has been done.
it's not inconceivable that there could be a restaurant called "mcdonald's" that exists in a film from the 1800's, no? product placement doesn't necessarily mean that there's a can of soda on someone's desk, although it typically does mean that...
I wasn't saying I needed the explanation, but that the 4th graders might. I once read a kid's book about Mt. Everest to a group of younger elementary students. At one point, one of the kids asked "What's a mountain?" This was a class in the Mississippi Delta area, where a>there's no mountains, and b>some of these kids will never travel beyond the county they were born in. I started with "Well, it's a big pile of rocks." "How big?" came their response.
"Um...what's the biggest thing you can think of?"
The answers from the kids ranged from "A car!" to "The school!" I eventually sort of gave up, but it made me realize that bringing them something complete outside of their realm of understanding was pointless without some context that the kids can relate to.
You wouldn't have to increase the number of mod points. I think that's the...ahem....point. They'd still be scarce; people (in theory) wouldn't waste them. Imagine browsing at +50. I could see a different effect, though. If I've got my 15 points to dole out, then I may not spend them on a post that's already rated +30, I may mod up something that's got a lower score, to balance it out against the higher posts...
That would be interesting. I remember reading when I signed up and got offered mod points (can't remember how long ago that was) that there used to be an actual karma score, which had no upper limit, or a really high limit, and was an actual number. I'd love to see the scale of mods be expanded. I've often thought that a range of 6 from best to worst is too small.
Feedback (from what I understand/believe) isn't just a way to dole out points for the person posting the content. It's a way users can filter the comments to a particular story, for browsing. If there's a particularly heated discussion, and there are hundreds of comments, then I may wish to browse the comments at +4, so that nothing below that is shown. I would like to include AC comments in that group, should they be seen by 4 others as insightful.
I suppose for some users, it's seen as wasteful to mod AC comments, aside from the negative mods.
Wouldn't it be trivial to wire so that it would rotate into view when the car is running/in gear/etc. Once the car is in park/turned off, the plate rotates out of view/the hands of theives.

I don't see the option for the flux capacitor. Link for that?

i've always preferred open sandwiches myself.
later, on the same flight, when i caught him in there a second time, i redestewardessed him.

Check out the "directory" link at the bicycle collective website and see if there's one near you.
Seconded.

So what, then, does JFGI stand for?

"And what about movies or TV shows where such product placement would be horribly out of place? A medieval movie with GM/GE/Pepsi placements?"
A knight's tale had a product placement for Nike.
Speaking of hte industry, one of the bands on this label is called "Bomb the Music Industry!", no joke.
Someone has to tell them what they want to buy.
Fixed that for you.

Hence, my GP comment.
Ok, smart guy. How many is 55,000? (Please remember to phrase your response in terms a 4th grader can understand.)

I think there's a lot more at stake here than people realize.
Don't they have to do it in both directions? Or is that some other speed record event?
Have you not seen this one?

Your comment makes me wonder what would happen if the employee from TFA would have posted the secrets to wikileaks or similar...
