Along the same line of thought, have you noticed that after years of believing we're superior to all animals, we still can teach a dog to respond to english, but have little to no idea what they mean when they bark a certain way? Why not see if we could build a system that lets dogs teach what they're trying to say.
You're lucky you've got water you would want to go in. The water that I used to play in when I was a kid started giving people chemical rashes since a few years ago. I keep my kid sister from that for that reason. If it were leeches or something fairly mundane like that, hell, I'd go in myself.
Is there any way to push back, or get more details on the specific machines being pushed on NY. I am a Computer Engineer, so personally, I understand how simple it is to manipulate an electronic vote. I prefer being able to know that a physical copy of what went into the machine exists. There are just too many places in the pipeline for a vote to be modified if it is being dealt with electronically. If it's both paper and electronic, and the machines can be tested in a way that is indistinguishable to the machine itself from an actual election, by someone who is not necessarily related to those running the election, I don't mind the use of electronic ones.
Open source voting booth code is one thing, but someone has to sit down and read through it.
Who's to say that the code used isn't 8000+ lines of assembly used to do something simple like recording and encrypting votes. Someone with real tenacity and stubbornness would be needed to get through all of that.
Also, think of the free advertising you just provided him by dumping his name on slashdot. There's no such thing as bad publicity when you're already a dick. How much traffic does that guy's site have? Instant gratification.
I'm sure the phrase http://www.ihateyouall.com/ isn't trademarked yet, but the site has been there for almost four years now, if I remember correctly. That won't stop me from saying I Hate You All for the stupid things people do.
Slashdot: Still not a lawyer, no matter how many times you ask
Granted, if anyone's interested, we could start poking our senators and congressmen to push the other bill forward before this one expires. A bill stating that 'Instead of the new legislature that states the ban will remain for four years, it will remain indefinitly'
This will arrive without the pressures that the first one has (the get it done by Nov clause)
Just remember, If it's your military, military spending money was your spending money. This is a just cause for military spending money if I've ever seen one. If you don't like it, I hear someone out MOABed MOAB. They could go and redesign that one for a similar amount.
Doesn't it make them look shitty if they turn down the permanent one with preference for the four year one just in an attempt to look good in N years. They also look shitty if they allow the tax to fall into place, unless they were going to start maintaining the network fiber themselves, which might not be a bad thing... Depending on a lot of course
In the same breath, that's 300 out of how many videos. I'd say if they only found 300, 60 released this year, that google video is doing a really good job at keeping copyrighted stuff OFF of the site.
Why are you so concerned about the voltage in this case, Wattage describes the actual energy you're drawing out of the panel. A transformer (no comments on the series) provides 99+% efficiency to ramp voltage up at the cost of current, and a power inverter is needed in some form regardless if you intend to use any standard appliances on your clean energy source.
Just for clarity for those who don't know: Watts are a rate of flow for Joules. Joules are a unit of energy (kg m^2 / (s^2)) which describe the distance (m) that a force (kg m/(s^2)) is applied over
99% efficiency in a transformer means that converting a low voltage, high current source to a high voltage, low current source producing the SAME WATTAGE or the SAME ENERGY when INTEGRATED OVER TIME, only a fraction of a percent is lost in the generation of heat due to resistance, unencapsulated EM field, etc.
An inverter converts Direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) and is necessary for AC transformers because a solar panel will typically produce DC output and transformers respond to changes in a magnetic field, rather than the present state of it.
DRM is a crock of shit. If you can see it or hear it, you can copy it. It's that simple. This is just a great way to make video and sound files consume more bandwidth, drain more power, and waste more peoples time.
I think it's great!!! It's about time someone did something like this. It not only helps bring experience into the teaching pipeline, it reminds everyone who will be in charge in 20 years. The people you teach now are going to be your doctors, your bridge builders, your electricians and presidents in the future.

I think yours is probably a far better point than the one I drew.
I find this amusing:
FTFA: "After reviewing more than 50 years of research on the impact of violence in the media"
This is not a new study.
What literature was reviewed? Lets see some references!
"there's no guarantee that even a very capable 4x4 will get you back afterwards"
So ride the rocks!

I'll buy that....
sorry, no pun intended.
How many people went to the site, paid for it, downloaded it, went back, and downloaded it again? Possibly on another computer?

There are always more ways to make it worse...
If a single nanotube can act as a complete radio, and buckyballs exist in cells, could an
organism evolve radios?
Could it be possible for a new animal or plant to be able to listen in on the data sent via radio?
or maybe a better question:
how hard of a fall could it take before snapping?
We're going to need... Many smaller ones

Thoughts?
The cycles on that graph show peaks regularly every 10 or 11 years. That would put us right in a trough.
From Wikipedia:
A minimum in the eleven-year sunspot cycle is predicted for 2007 [1].
which references http://www.sec.noaa.gov/SolarCycle/
The lack of sunspots isn't the interesting part... it's the amount of time they were lacking.
Just remember,
If it's your military, military spending money was your spending money.
This is a just cause for military spending money if I've ever seen one.

Doubtful, but it's a REALLY good step in the right direction
Thank you both, I stand corrected.
But that brings up the other point...
If bit-torrent isn't the original, who the fuck cares if microsoft is ripping on it.
