I can come up with quite a few ways that we could remove space junk, most aren't very good, but there is one I think would work the best.
Launch a couple satellites with solid state lasers. Heat up the side of the space junk facing earth and let the laser push it into the atmosphere.
Plus if you have a few dozen up there you could perhaps deflect larger objects, yet they would be useless if you wanted to shoot a target on the surface of the Earth.
There has to be a reason that there has been next to no attempt to control the space junk issue, I guess getting funding to clean up orbits is hard to come by.
Microsoft is the one who screwed them the most regarding their contributions to the PC yet that is one of the search engines that is not being targeted.
I'd say the pass is revoked.
If they were merely screwing over those who screwed them over I would agree, but that does not appear to be the case here.
And all this time I thought if I were to buy a name-brand product for dirt cheap at a bar that it would be stolen property.
Probably in the states its more likely to be stolen at least rather than a knock-off. Knock-offs are more likely at the flea markets in the states rather than at bars.
Get more fertile soil to grow in, more plant nutrients floating around, clear spots of ground to invade to.
I really don't see a downside for the plants, its not like they are being lit on fire. We've been using fertilizer as explosives for a long time, this really could help the plants.
Although I think very low of the morality of those who do this for a living, but at times you really have to respect their skills.
This isn't just like running an email service for a fortune 500 company, its more like running a black ops email service for a fortune 500 company.
Every aspect of the operation is ran over with a fine tooth comb for discretion. Not too many from each node, sending out the spam messages at a low rate, redundancy, resource management, payroll. This cannot be easy.
Too bad these people are going with a life of crime, with their potential I would think they could do very well in legitimate work.
Went looking for the information that that you assume everyone knows.
I guess that since everyone does know that may explain why you can't find a list of who makes generic versions of what.
You may find it for specific items like the ones you listed, and you usually learn this while in the store comparing different models and different brands. Outside of the store that information is hard to come by.
You were doing so good......then you wrote that second paragraph.
I'm guessing you went with death penalty because you also could not come up with a better system of punishment for law offenders.
Extending probation to more crimes would probably be a good start, along with lots and lots of mandatory life skill classes.
Prison does nobody any good. If someone positively has to be removed from society then we should not be locking them up with others just like them and hoping that they will be better when they get out. If someone is so fucked up that they have to be removed from society we should try to help them be better people, and if we fail at that THEN we kill them.
He probably just hopes that this will finally put his kiddy porn addiction outside of his reach.
Just like alcoholics push for alcohol to be illegal and drug addicts push to have drugs illegal. Those think of the children types are thinking of the children........too much usually.
Ok, so the guy above me here says that heat is motion.......ok, so the fastest that a particle can go is the speed of light and only photons go the speed of light....so whats the temperature of a photon?

I wonder why this issue hasn't been fixed by now.

SCO wasn't a patent troll once also.

How long can you sit on a patent before you have to start going after people?
It would appear to me that Xerox must have been sitting on this for quite sometime.
It is also odd how Microsoft is not included in this, Yahoo and Google, but not Microsoft in a search related patent case?
Good question.
I would mod you, but there is no "this needs an answer" mod.
I would mod an informative response to you informative, but there has been no informative responses at this point.

Yep, their results are usually within the top ten and usually what I'm looking for.
Then again.
I don't see them donating to any of the free porn pages.
What don't environmentalists oppose?
I think the only thing they can all agree on is More Funding!!
There are the environmentalists that oppose everything and give no answers as to what we should do, those ones suck.
Then there are the environmentalists that look at a problem and see a solution, these aren't environmentalists, they're engineers.

Darn, you found it before I could.
A nail salon should be able to match up a color with your titanium cruzer so that you can just paint over top of that offending light.
Some people like the light for debugging purposes.
Nice resource for appliances. Thanks.

Sit in on an AA meeting.
This isn't about those who are fine with their addictions, I am fine with mine, this is about those who are not.

You needed to add a few steps.
Wow, that is actually a very good write up of the issue, and I hate rotten.com
As true today as it was thirteen years ago, surprised I never saw this write up before now.
If your kid looks at goatse for longer than it takes to close the window then you may want to explain a few things to him.
The birds, the bees, the large distended anus.
Seriously though it is a good idea to sit with your children and explain some things to them before you allow them to use the internet on their own.
Not just goatse type things, but also about punch the monkey ads and all the other things about the internet that are bullshit.
I have no kids though, so take this advice with a grain of salt.

Doesn't look like its passed yet.
http://apps.leg.wa.gov/billinfo/summary.aspx?bill=3176&year=2009
Alot of stupid bills get submitted, luckily most don't get passed.
If this one gets enough notice perhaps the bill will be killed.

There is always manual labor jobs.
As long as its not violent or involve children most manual labor jobs are ok with some spots on your record.
If you can tough it out for five years then you can start getting back into office jobs.
By the time that he got arrested if he had stayed clean he could have started to rebuild his life.
You do know that most webmail is compatible with outlook right?
Actually I can't even think of one that isn't compatible with outlook.
Definition of safe while I was growing up was making sure none of the scrapes and cuts got infected.
Definition of safe now days is to not get any cuts or scrapes.
Ok, so the guy above me here says that heat is motion.......ok, so the fastest that a particle can go is the speed of light and only photons go the speed of light....so whats the temperature of a photon?
I wonder how wrong I am.
