dad feels like this too, but he will be a total ass if people are driving slow in the left lane, especially when the signs say "passing lane only"... like driving 3" from their bumper, honking excessively.
i think that's fucking ugly behavior. i was ashamed and even scared. it's fucking wreckless. your life isn't worth another 10 miles an hour.
be pissed. call the cops. but please, act like a fucking adult.
and he has no personal items in his car.
It uses a Metal Hydride reaction in the electrode membrane, and it supposed to last longer than most metal hydrides. So, it's a chemcial reaction.
Then the question is not if it violates any laws of physics. It doesn't.
The question is: how long till I have to replace the metal hydride electrode membrane, and how much will that cost?
If it costs $5000 but lasts 10 years, then I'd say it was a good investment. Especially considering how expensive this car is going to be.
The savings in gas over 10 years will easily pay for the replacement by many fold.
But, if the cost is higher and it lasts a shorter amount of time, then there will be questions. It might be cheaper in the long run to use gas.
Also, materials research is really booming. They might eventually produce a metal hydride that's workable for this application as cheaply as salt. After all, negative index of refraction materials have already been developed for infrared and low red spectrums, rendering them invisible to those spectrums.
Figuring out a way to make cheap metal hydrides sounds a lot less far fetched than that.
Even if it still operates in the laws of thermodynamics (costs more energy to produce hydride than you get from burning hydrogen).
Also, if we ever find a planet with no oxygen, which ours supposed was at one point, then it would definitely be possible to find metal hydrides in nature, and would be a great mining resource.
Just have to have that interstellar travel thing first;-)
Tampering with the mail is a FEDERAL OFFENCE.
So, why don't we use that to our advantage.
You make your electronic vote. It prints out a pre paid postage mailer. You double check the vote yourself. If there is any mismatch, the paper ballot counts. If the ballot doesn't show up from the mail, the ballot is voided, but you also got a receipt and contact information to follow up with. The electronic vote, mailer ballot, and receipt have a random generated number that is guaranteed not to duplicate, so they can be matched without revealing identity.
Messing with the electronic system is a normal charge, unless it changes the outcome of the printed ballot, which should be caught immediately. If not, too bad. Your lack of attention cost you your vote.
However, messing with the delivery of the ballots is a normal offence. The ballots are sent to the state level. If, for some reason, the electronic vote doesn't match the mailer ballot, the voter then checks on their receipt.
The hows and whys of this system should be made into PSA's a full year before the election occurs, so everyone knows what to expect.
Don't think it's going to happen, but it could work.
so kinda like this:
take a tube sock. cut off the end. stitch the inside of the sock to the outside, so that when it flows around, you switch from the inside of the sock to the outside, and the crump it up in a ball...
so that you would have to travel the "length" of the universe twice to return to the other side of earth?
amidoinitrite?
didn't the amiga use out of order bus execution that allowed for tremendous speeds, it could emulate a mac on top at speeds faster than a mac ran, but on the same hardware?
wouldn't it be possible with these to design out of order execution due to dyssynchronous internal bus speeds, and acheive massive improvements in performace, both at the chip level, and at the pci controller/mobo level?
Libertarians care about people because they want a small governemnt that doesn't tax them to death, won't interfere in their rights, and will generally leave them alone.
Democrats care about people because they want to save the american worker from the past of Laize-faire economics back in the days when the rockefellers and whatnot made their fortunes on the backs of their american populace employment-slaves, but had no government programs to help with the lack of basic necessities like healthcare, school, disability, welfare, etc.
Republicans care about people because they want to have lower taxes and a roebust economy for investment and economic growth so that we don't wind up like france or other countries that are so "socialized" that industry is running at a constant loss, taxes are heavy, any real development is done in highly specialized industries, the rest are fairly mediocre, and it's hardly worth the headache of starting a business.
The problem is Americans aren't resourceful enough to try to solve all three at the same time. They assign one of these positions to be right, the others to be dumb, criminal, or even liberal, and go back to their own happy little world.
An honest politician or citizen would take all of these into consideration.
it applies to your relatives...
but on topic...
as beer consumption increases, the scientist becomes increasingly philosophical...
and thus, the drunken philosopher's song. EEEEEEmanual Kant was a real pisant... well I think you know the rest.
Dad read to us The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and about half of The Simaralion back in 3rd grade.
And Steven Hawking's A Brief History of Time in 5th grade...
I guess that's why people think I'm such a nerd...
actually, according to http://www.enturbulation.org/, it is submitted by Anonymous.
If you ever want a peek inside their head (without using mind probes), it seems to be one of several distributed hubs for their plotting and communication.
the others are, from what I can gather, less savory. but spicier.

I heard the Church of Scientology was developing a foot based input device... I think the prototype is called the "footbullet"... amidoinitrite?
Wait, wrong Short Circuit...

by Frank Herbert, anyone?
Don't you mean Travis Dane? ;-)
CULT: he means -L +N.
can't you just take all government IP blocks and map them in your host file to 127.0.0.1 to prevent such a thing?
Remember Asimov's book...
Chapter I. Against Stupidity
Chapter II. The Gods Themselves
Chapter III. Contend In Vain
nevar forget
Yes, but in a couple years, it could be within the cooling power liquid cooled systems or freezer based computing... wouldn't that be exciting?
They need agents with internet savvy and an "attack mentality"... then just visit a chan site...

i remember visiting that website with 256 colors and no font antialiasing and on a 2400 baud modem
MMM, $15 a hamburger... that'll feed me and my kids really good!
you mean like Iraq?
this is a tricky statement.

It's just Zakarumites. They have all of the enthusiasm of a Zombie... but without the charisma.
It's Admiral Akbar cereal!
Well, if your house is getting raided, snap your RAM in half. Maybe we need to think about RAM encryption too, eh? ;-)
