I see what you mean. But they'd still have to drop at least three lines to the ground -- and likely even more -- so the kite doesn't sway unpredictably.
This, plus the radius around which there could potentially be falling debris, or severance, leads me to wonder whether this wishful thinking, or something that could seriously be commercialized.
As a counterpoint, wouldn't it be easier to install turbines in the ocean and harvest tidal forces?
New York already has the most congested airways in the country, and possibly in the world. If these kites are at 30,000 feet, and most commercial airplanes fly around 35,000 feet, how are we not going to have a bunch of severed kites everywhere?
I love Opera's speed. And I can live with the bloated features no one uses like Email and BitTorrent. But the sad fact is, a lot of sites don't work the same in Opera. I remember in particular that the uTorrent web GUI's Javascript didn't work at all.
And it's a shame that Opera rocks the Acid3, but nobody really cares because most websites aren't coded to standard; they're coded to work in the 96% of people's machines, and 96% of browsers fail at Acid3. Opera's mostly been a victim of a million different cooks in a million different kitchens cooking for a million different people.
The most frustrating thing about the old mobile site was that it straight-up doesn't display tables. Which makes it tough when you want to, say, look up the songs that appear in Guitar Hero, or want to browse the episode information of a TV show.
It's better to use floats than use absolute positioning; it lets you use auto margins, and you'll have a lot more flexibility with your containing content.
ball that heats up as you roll over different parts of an image
There's a joke in there somewhere.
Hmm... yes... If only the word "ball" were a euphemism for a part of the body that would be aroused by certain types of images.
And if only computers were known for easily being able to access those types of images.
And if only this story were to come across a large body of individuals who both possess this part of the body, and who frequently used computers to download arousing images, and have a certain je ne sais quoi for pointing such a collation.
I've decided to keep my mouth shut. Kid needs a family no matter what, and we like having him around. He shouldn't be punished for his mom being a dumb slut.
MY WIFE DID WHAT?!?
In all seriousness though, maybe pop on the AC next time you need to spill family secrets?:)
I'd check out Sunshine by Danny Boyle. The plot's pretty tight while still paying surprising attention to scientific detail.
The last third of the movie is noticeably weaker than the first two-thirds, but it's still a pretty good effort.
Only seniors and calligraphers use pens that you need to dip into ink. The rest of us use ball points or cartridge driven quills. Quick to use, they are ready at a moment's notice. They are far less messy and less prone to leakage. They have greater "staying power", as there is no need to go back to the well for a refill.
But a ball point pen runs out and ends up in the trash, whereas a calligraphy pen lasts a long, long, long time.
Which is why the smart ones hang out at the senior center.
Try calling the company, telling them about the enormous inconvenience, and ask them to be flexible -- like doing another phone interview, or at worst doing a videoconference. You can gauge your chances based on how flexible they are, or how much they try to convince you to come. You might even convince them to give you some reimbursement.
If they're inflexible, I'd have to say that you're better off going with someone else, especially if it's only temp work.
You may need to upgrade your firmware. I had problems with pre-4.00 firmware and Firefox 3. Now, we're running 4.01c1-p2 and the web interface runs fine.
This reminds me of an interview I read about a supposed former burglar. Most thieves, beyond wanting to steal your stuff, want to get out as soon as they can. So one of the best strategies to retain your important stuff is to leave honeypots in your home -- things you can part with, like cash -- and make your real valuables much harder to find. It's much easier to part with $100 than your Action Comics #1.

"Pirate-hunters" -- you are speaking of course about their age-old enemies, the ninjas?
Obviously you haven't seen Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.

Did this kid discover the supernova by recklessly smacking his principal's telescope? Because I think I've seen that before.

Thank fuck they made this version! Much better!

What do you think it takes to power a private hotline to God ?!
How much power does it take to run the blow-dryer near your bathtub?

Was it necessary to refer to his colleague as Robert E. Lee? Now we're going to get a ton of "South will rise again" jokes.
Yeah, I would have to agree. A quick glance at the blog reveals a marijuana category.
...Except three of the four articles aren't about marijuana. They're political poems sent into the blog.
The oldest post does mention marijuana law... in another poem.
Maybe _this_ is the ??? before "Profit"??
But I kept on getting scratched...
Next time try piping to /dev/null.

I think I speak for all of us when I say "whoosh."
Let me be the first to say that I, for one, welcome our new sane, Slashdot-answering, fair-use-aware internet overlord.

Yes, but what percentage of Mars was covered with buggalo?
Short answer: no.
Long answer: As long as there are PHBs who think "writing = Microsoft Word," good luck getting rid of DOC.
That's no muon, it's a space station!
I'll show myself out.

Of course, I'm sure good locks help too.
