Nope, Jury nullification, while hot button, certainly exists. It may or may not apply to civil cases or be effective in the current means, but please DO NOT discount it. More linky: Fully Informed Jury Association.
I'm so damned tired of it, and this country has slid so far downhill in the last 60 or so years due to it. Fixed. Remember the Red Scare? Shit, Prohibition? How far back should we go? Hell, we were probably fearmongored into breaking away from the British Empire.
Disclaimer: I'm using the term "hybrid vehicle" loosely.
I certainly look forward to the effects this will have on civilian production vehicles. Hopefully the price and quality of hybrids and the like will get a boost like things usually do when the military adopts technology. Think GPS, night vision, etc.
It would definitely be nice to see a hybrid vehicle that is capable of light/medium truck duty. There's a decent niche market of RVers who jumped on bio diesel for tow vehicles.
I don't follow the first problem you stated. Most recreational vehicles (just as an example) have a gas absorption system as the refrigerator. This is primarily because the only energy needed is heat. This heat comes from an electric element (120 volt, typically around 325 watts), or from burning propane. The propane used burns at a small flame, about the size of a butane lighter. You can briefly touch the burner assembly when a unit is running, though propane is a little hotter. I don't know of any location where a gas absorption refrigerator cannot be used.
Perhaps I misunderstand the application you mean, but basic kitchen refrigeration definitely applies.
The wikipedia diagram on gas absorption kinda sucks. Here's a more specialized (and purdier) diagram of a specific application.
Man are you kidding me? This "news" is 5 Billion years old. We must be a laughing stock for just now finding out about this.
FTA:
NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope serendipitously spotted the quadruple merger during a routine survey of a distant galaxy cluster, called CL0958+4702, located nearly 5 billion light years away. If you work at NASA and are reading this, feel my scorn. That is all.
London just got the order wrong. You build the prisons first, then find the means to fill them. Then, lo and behold, you have justification for building more prisons and more camera systems!
If you just build the surveillance infastructure without the necessary enforcement infastructure, it just amplifies the perception of how bumbling and incompetent you are as a government.
Here in America, we show our bumbling and incompetence on the world's stage, with style...
I thought he was on to something, running your power conduit in flour to insulate heat from the rest of the datacenter.:P
Unfortunately for me, I got back from Costco -AFTER- reading your reply explaining its a typo. I was going to reinsulate my attic. Anyone have a use for two pallets of flour?
Sounds to me that his actions were completely intentional, that he was not at all concerned about the health of others, that he wanted to fulfill his desires regardless of how it might affect others. I'm sorry, did you miss the part that said he is a lawyer?
FTGP:
The man in question is Andrew Speaker, an Atlanta lawyer who traveled with his fianceé to Europe for his wedding and honeymoon. I guess they can't all be decent, hot dog loving citizens, can they?
Its his agenda for us to not find out about how UK schools are leaving out the Holocaust. He knows noone RTFA, so he's just trying to get people to stop reading the comments.;) You'll see this kind of behavior from all kinds of bears, not just ronanbear. Nature's book-burners.
I can't play Tiger Woods for shit on a 360 controller. The "straight back" axis is really unnatural for my hands. Its great as far as features go, and performs well at most other tasks.
I'm going to stick with Gamecube controllers. I always appreciated how Nintendo puts the 8 direction divots in their analog sticks.
No, you're not. I wasn't thinking a coded method, just a calibration method, however. I would hate to break this poor guys patent any time I mis-calibrated my Nintendo DS. Hopefully he'd be nice enough to not pursue a DMCA violation on his patent.
"He has 'Hacked' the firmware on his console to allow his touchscreen to perform tasks that infringe on my patent!"
I, for one, can't wait to see how great and industry-leading Microsoft's version of anti-cheat software will be. Because, you know, like no one can cheat in Halo 2 or anything. Bulletproof.
And of course, who wouldn't want to be called a fag by an 11 year old for 15 minutes straight?
I've never had a landline in my name. I've also never had DSL (which would require a phone line, or it used to). I've always had cable, but i've only really been satisfied with my current provider, Bright House (small, regional to tampa and somewhere in michigan or something). I'm just trying to be a proponent of not only voting with your dollars, but spread the word. Sure, a lot of people won't care, but local news does a story at least 3x a week about identity theft. You'd think people would care when their provider is selling their info to whomever they please, government or not.
You know, if enough of us boycott them, it may snowball into them no longer being able to stay competitive with other companies. What I mean is, we can effectively boycott them at the local level (think last mile). Start raising awareness on your block, in your apartment complex, whatever. A few pissed off customers cancelling service means nothing to them, maybe when neighborhoods or small towns start, we'll start moving forward.
Sure, they've got massive contracts worldwide, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a few large contracts go down the tubes (no, not the Stevens 'tubes') because of their shitty policies.
GTA series hasn't had fancy cutscenes in the last 3 games (I don't remember, I think 2 might have). Mission setups are just waypoints and objectives, I'm sure they don't take up much space. Audio clips and textures/geometry are going to be the killers when disc space is becoming an issue. The "cutscenes" in the most recent set of GTA games seemed to be in game, as the models were exactly the same, and there wasn't really any mpeg artifacting that I've noticed.
My point is, swapping discs halfway through the storyline wouldn't really work, as all the map geometry would have to be present on BOTH discs (or more) to keep the sandbox premise. Space could only be really saved by cutting out some of the mission-specific audio clips, and actual mission information (which would be miniscule compared to everything else).
I remember playing NHL '95 (genesis) on a Nomad on a bus trip in school. It had an additional controller port on top, and the viewing angle on the lcd was good enough for two people to split. I can't remember who won though. Probably whoever played as the Bruins.
I haven't used a ball mouse in YEARS. I completely avoid using a workstation without optical. I'd rather use a trackball (and have, on occasion) I'll have to see if I still have an ADB mouse around, although I seem to remember the cables are shorter on them... I dunno.
That's Microsoft's and Sony's business strategy, yes. Nintendo doesn't subsidize console costs. They have made a couple of dollars on every Wii sold, barring R&D costs. I believe the original Xbox 360s (Core and Premium) are both now making a little money, but they started at a huge loss.
I'd love to pull numbers and such, but I should be doing work:P
As a general rule: If its a beige Mac, don't try to install OS X. My blue and white G3 runs 10.4.x just fine, 50 mhz overclock (sits at 450, weary of 500) and extra ram provided. I havent tried the ADB peripheral connections on it, as it originally shipped with a usb keyboard anyways.

A-ha! You said "pouring," implying that it wasn't an accident! Wait til your boss hears about this!

The size is huge and now it also stole the default browser setting.
Duh, it added support for 1997-era Browser Wars filetypes. Didn't all the installers back then turn their app to default?

Why does it have to be "some environmentalist?" There are plenty of reasons to be "Anti-Human."

What exactly is the literal definition of "flipped out?"
:P
I'm only half messing with you, I think its a pretty strange mannerism. Anyhoo...

That depends on what toots your horn, doesn't it?
Whoops! Hey, at least yours does something useful though, no? Just hope no one is after your family recipe for shepherd's pie.
