I think what we really need to do is to get rid of the lobbyists and their campaign contributions. They pretty much short-circuit our entire government.
"Survivor: Moon". In this show, mind-numbed TV viewers would text message their votes indicating whom should be kicked off the moon this week. At $4.99 per vote, it would only take 16.4 billion text messages to pay for going back to the moon. We could cover some of our risk by placing bets in Vegas against the contestants actually making it to the moon.
If we were really sneaky, we could skip going to the moon altogether (again) and film this all in a sound stage in Arizona at night! We could save even more money by outsourcing the film editing to India. That way, NASA couldn't lose the footage (again).
Wow! That is awful. 80-100% = A? Where I went, 90-100% was an "A". 59% and below was failing. Anything below a "C" in your major was the same as an "F" as it didn't count toward degree credit. "F-"? Once you fail, you have failed. That doesn't even make sense.
Apple's iTunes app store bans Nissan's iPhone application allows for remote monitoring of battery levels and control of air conditioning in electric cars.
FREE! It is Windows only but runs great on Wine. The author supposedly is very supportive of making sure it runs well on Wine. http://www.linear.com/designtools/software/
It is optimized for analyzing switching power supply circuits so it probably is the fastest spice implementation out there. I have quit using all the other spice based simulators out there in favor of LTSpice. User support can be found on the yahoo group: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/LTspice/
That's like saying the Coca-Cola Company invented cocaine.
Nope, not unless the word "cocaine" was invented after Coca-Cola.
Everybody knows "cocaine" got its name from the Eric Clapton song.
Everybody, except you, knows that J.J. Cale wrote that song.
You probably think that Clapton wrote "I Shot The Sheriff," too.
Did I say Clapton wrote it? No, I did not. Did Clapton not make it famous? Last time I heard it played on the radio, the DJ didn't come on and say "That was J.J. Cale playing 'Cocaine'". Nope, never heard that. It doesn't matter because that song sucks anyway.
Each persons copy of whatever paperwork has different sets of typos, so if there are any leaks, they know exactly who it came from.
For those that don't know, for each new 'typo', they add a few more zeros in the contract dollar amount. That is also why a government contract for armored vehicles would be Top Secret.
People that drive less are less of an insurance risk?
Yes, that is true... but I would think people that drive well are way less of an insurance risk.
True, but it is very hard to objectively measure driving skill...
So, by that logic, if I had the choice of flying on an airline with a pilot that has 10,000 hours is by far worse than if I were to fly on one where the pilot has say 100 hours?
3. Learn the HDL of your choice. Read the books. One warning only: it is NOT a programming language
Agreed. Here is another tip that I resisted to the very end but turns out to be very useful. Only change one variable per process. Think of each process roughly like a D Flip-Flop. You need a reset, a clock, data in with logic and an output. You end up with a lot of processes but the chances of having something synthesizable are a whole lot better.
I would be putting together a GPS simulator system that would overload the real GPS signal. This simulated signal would indicate that I never drive anywhere. If you could access the antenna, you could pipe this signal in directly enabling other GPS based systems to still function. I am sure that any engine running indicator signal could be spoofed as well.:)
If the ASCAP were actually to win and they were able to charge every time a ringtone encumbered cellphone rang, everybody would quit using those annoying ringtones! I can't wait.
I am pretty sure you can. This is the application of the law of induction to specifically charge a battery. Besides, from what I have seen, you can patent almost anything. When I worked for that company, our competitor had patented the concept of using 9 Volts in an implant. I am serious. We had to avoid using that specific voltage. They also had patented the concept of storing the implant settings in an eeprom. Note that both of these were specific to medical implants. Not too sure how valid these patents are but they have more money than god and love to sue.

Palm announces a new model that doesn't phone home. It will be called the "Palm Post"
"F" gets you 1 point
That really is rewarding failure - although not by much. That Snobelen guy really was a genius.
You could post that 136 page appeal on Slashdot as an AC. It sounds like it might be funny.

That and if it isn't charged, provides a helpful "You aren't going fucking anywhere, dude" message to indicate that the charge level is insufficient.

I wonder if I can replace my GE "soft-white" light bulbs with GE "soft X-ray" bulbs? Could be cool.
Exactly. My bank can spring for a paid certificate
Sure they can! Because those asswipes have a ton of fucking taxpayer money!
You are correct. The cert. method in FF3 sucks big time.

It was not sudden deceleration that killed him. It was the trauma caused by sudden deceleration that killed him.
For security, you need a program that starts up at least 10 processes. If your computer is running so slow, it is harder for bad things to happen.

FREE O.J.
You fail
And also putting wear and tear on the physical highways, which are used to ship the goods.
That is what the Federal tax on fuel is supposed to pay for.
You're fired.

Tesla already has the patent for this
Don't patents expire after 20 years? Besides, he is dead.
I'm not sure you can really patent...
