March is when the wave powered board "leaves" for its voyage. May is when the cargo ship containing the wave powered boat leaves for the same destination.
...you're going to have to look one-by-one at the 17 GB of pictures. Are you sure you want to do that? Isn't that what our government is for ? Don't they have office buildings full of people that look at porn all day, separating the underage ones from the adult, giving us all the old adult porn back and keeping the underage ones for themselves ? Am I right ?
I wonder what would happen if teenagers as a group became sick and tired of these unjust laws that turn them into instant sex offenders and just decided one day to take pics of themselves and distribute them to the world.
I, for one, would welcome our new bare-breasted tee... er, nevermind.
It strikes me that only the Americans see the need to constantly express how much bigger/better/freer they/their country/their way of life is/are. Well of course we do, the US is King of the Sandpile. If you and your country was, you would be trumpeting the same to the world. But since your country is not, your observation is only what any other non-King of the Hill country could state.
Same reason as the oil in the middle east. They would use the money to buy off your companies and would essentially own the natural resources.
Essentially, we would turn into third world countries and them into first world countries at the end of it all. pfft. At anytime it feels like it, the US could declare all foreign investments located within its country United States property. Certainly in times of world war, and likely in desperate times of severly limited resources.
From the article it looks like they want to use those machines to survey... Hmmm... Big brother? We already have these all along the Tex/Mex border. I think they are operated by the AF, and the intel used by HS. Couple of them have crashed, they get shot at, etc. Local rumor here has it they are considered a failure.
My desk faces a blacked out window, my back faces the door, and I can't tell you how many times some nosy person has snuck up behind me and starts reading outloud the crap on my screen. It is annoying as hell and I hate it.
I'm moving to a new office next month and it is back to the corner all the way, baby.
like my Ipaq (losing ALL the user data whenever the battery goes flat is just unacceptable All you gotta do to get around any such device's failure is to connect another power source to the device's battery terminals while doing the battery change. Another battery with wires attached to it will do fine.
Actually, there are places inside the US where "papers" are required. "Papers" meaning- name, address, proof of US citizenship, travel origin & destination, along with a complete freedom to search vehicle and contents.
Where is this ? Inside the "Border Patrol" zone, which can extend quite far inland. My area checkpoint is more than 100 miles from the Mexican border. I live 50mi from the border and the nearest town is 60mi north.
So ya, for me (and everyone in these areas) wanting to run a single errand in town, to buy food, to vote, to pay taxes, check mail, I have to show my "papers" everytime I leave the house.
Did he Photoshop that picture or him and Dan Rather.
Fake but accurate is usually good enough for Dan. Ya, and take a look at the pic of him with Bill Clinton. Definite chop, look at the light reflecting off of Clinton's right-side hair and face.
there is too much music available for any appreciable number of people to find and listen to what you are doing. I couldn't agree more with your statement as well as nearly everything discussed in this thread.
I was a small town DJ back in the early 70's and even then there was more music than we could possibly play in a week. The record companies would send us a huge box of singles every week and we only had time to listen to each record for maybe 5 seconds. We'd go throught stack and drop the needle down in various places. If it wasn't a potential hit or didn't interest one of several DJs it was tossed out the back door.
We didn't have a play list, our sponsors didn't care what was played, only did the listeners call the request line and we played that.
Um, no. A carrier passes traffic. YouTube hosts content. A big difference. YouTube is an Internet Service Provider. Generally they are not liable for content hosted on their servers as long as they honor removal requests from copyright holders in a timely manner.
IPS's are also not required to develop copy protection technology for the benefit of copyright holders.
ISP's do have several requirements in order to maintain their ISP status, but none of these have anything to do with copyright infringement or developing software.
Why bother with physical media when you can get much more diverse pr0n over the internet.
Do you mean, why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
Why go out for milk when you already have a cow at home?
"Since the car is braking anyway, absorbing some of its kinetic energy to power lighting isn't such a bad thing."
For every unit of energy absorbed from braking will only increase the amount of braking required by that same unit. The result of that trade off is an increase in required braking distance.
It's a wash, another 'free energy' idea. And a danger to our children.
"I personnally believe that some age verification, such as credit card, should happen."
I agree, however it is already against MC/V regulations to use their cards for age verification.
Attemping to verify age is exactly what the "save our children" world doesn't want. It's not about saving anyone, it's about shoving their morality down everyone elses throat. As long as SOV, GOV, and MC/V agree on this, everyone else is having to live with their morals.
"A flight to an lawless 'third life' might actually happen."
As long as the "Whatever Life" requires a credit card to fuel their economy, the business model will fail. MC/V controls the Internet economy and anything they say is not allowed may as well be illegal (and vice versa.)
As soon as the GOV/IRS decides SL is sanctioning too much gambling (or porn), look for MC/V to pull SL's processing. I'd not be surprised if SL is already deemed to be a high risk "Adult Entertainment" establishment resulting in higher processing rates.
true 'dat. Makes one wonder why not just relocate everything to Alaska or somewhere else that's cold as hell.
Speaking of energy costs associated with heat dissipation, I've alway been curious of a method that could produce energy from wasted heat- as does a solar panel from the sun.
Wrap that supercharged V8 in some energy producing heatwrap, instant hybrid and more horsepower. Run your processor's cooling fan off the energy produced from the excessive heat.
Someone please tell me I'm talking out of my ass, or worse, just gave away the next big idea that could have made me billions.
On the fuselage near the tail. There is an entire forum over at http://www.airliners.net/discussions/trip_reports/ filled with geeks that record these numbers in little log books for the purpose of wanting to fly every plane in the air.
They carry around cameras and binoculars viewing planes, taking pictures, and writing down little things on paper, all the while arousing suspicion amongst their cabin mates. Once they get bored with all that, they ask the stewardess if they can visit the cockpit. A fun hobby it sounds like.
What would prevent a website owner from publishing everything on his site that would require a user to access via SSL ? This wouldn't be hard at all as a publisher, would it ?

What does the article mean, "beat the US back to the moon."
Isn't that like the last straggler in a 1000 meter dash saying they are going to beat the winner somehow ?
The US already won that race, the race is over, China can only hope to come in 2nd or 3rd, but NOT FIRST!!

The snake shot commonly found in the .38 special round does suck. It's because of the tiny shot mass combined with the lower .38cal 1150fps velocity.
.410 buckshot for snakes, does alright in the ThunderFive pistol. .22cal LR is best IMM.
I've tried
Now put some 20 grain snake shot in a 3000fps weapon somehow and you might have something, much like this laser disintegrated mortar round.
Well, if starting out at +1:
a -1 troll,
a -1 flamebait,
along with a +1 funny
results in a zero funny.
You need another Funny, dude.
