It would only take seconds for partisans to slam Fox and CNN as untrue so the idea simply won't work. However, if someone were to create a domain similar to wikipedia that was well regulated and comprised of science and history information known to be authoritarian (or marked that there is debate on the subject) it might do us all a world of good. Wikipedia is great for topics that are not contested (history of the Hundred years war for example) at all but it's censorship-hell for anything that someone might disagree about (politics).
Such a site could post science papers and request to repost other stuff of interest and if done properly even the contested stuff could have rational discourse and thus provide useful information.
In most polygamous cultures only the wealthy end up with multiple wives. The poor often end up without any prospects. The wealthy tend to live longer than the poor so the report is nonsense.
(1) NASA is primarily based out of Florida, California and Texas. (2) Those states have lots of electoral votes. (3) NASA's manned spacecraft stuff is concentrated in Florida and Texas. (4) Obama is trailing in Florida.
So suddenly he's in favor of increased man space flights? Color me unsurprised.
The thing is the country is looking for any solutions, even feel good ones that won't help much. The Dems have shown an unwillingness to debate the issue, they will easily be painted as the cause of a lot of problems and as beholden to the environmentalist movement at the expense of the average American.
The ads write themselves, a shot of a recognizable Dem on vacation, a shot of Republicans demanding to debate the issue, a shot of an oil price sign.
Pelosi should not have allowed herself to be so easily maneuvered and she should be replaced. She should have been replaced long ago when the Congress hit an all time low after the Dems took over. The Congress ratings may have no connection with who is running the thing but that is the perception and in an election year. Not throwing her under the bus was foolish. If anything is gonna slow the Democrat juggernaut this year it will be Nancy's inept leadership of the House.
I have to use spy's to steal great thinkers, either that or conquer the city they are based in. Is there even an option to just bribe them to move like this? That would be too easy.
I just don't think you retask space equipment like that. The stresses involved from acceleration/deceleration, even if the thruster were attached to the trusses would probably cause all sorts of havoc.
A better idea is to make it into a gas station/wharehouse. Put a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhab transhab up there decked out for room and storage. Then use the shuttle (or the Russians or private space companies) to bring up large quantities of water or fuel or other supplies. Then when the mission goes up they can resupply in orbit and won't have to take everything with them from the ground on one trip. You could even send the astronauts separately in a known and tested vehicle so the Aries wouldn't need to be man-rated for the launch itself. That would save time and money.
I heard recently (in the Skeptoid podcast) about an engine with extra pistons that captures the heat generated from the normal pistons and uses that heat to get another stroke or two. This uses the waste heat so that heavy radiators and cooling systems aren't required and also gives you a bit of extra energy for the same amount of fuel.
That is the kind of thing we should be considering. All that engine heat is just wasted energy. There has to be ways to recoup that energy. Using a radiator just seems wrong.
A browser is a tool that reads the code and delivers it visually for the sited reader. What is needed is a browser specifically designed to read that same code and deliver the content audibly for the reader. You don't need to redesign the web and force every webpage to comply, beyond some kind of tag for images that is. Most images could have a simple (unnecessary image) as the tag to tell the blind boy browser that the image is not required to understand the page. In fact that could be the default for most images.
Whomever managed to come up with such a browser would probably make a bit of money as Microsoft and Apple would both want to bundle such a browser to show what good people they are.
Jobs knows he can abuse the bleeding edge style-cultists on first and occasionally second generation products. He can count on them for early press, excitement and sales to the point that some he might as well release products a bit early and have them beta test as well.
Instead of telling Taliban members not to use their cell phones they try to shut down the towers so using them is impossible. Instead of telling men not to molest women they force the women into burqas to shut down any desire the men might have.
To me God or Allah would be more impressed by someone who avoids sin in Vegas (hard, temptation everywhere) than one who avoids sin in Salt Lake City (easy, no temptation to be found). The Taliban knows they will fail the self control test so they remove the options that tempt them. They are losers.
Definately a good one but in old OpenWin we had to set the desktop daily so it wouldnt' have worked. For a more recent system, Mac, Windows or Unix it should work. That and taking a screenshot of a busted monitor and using that as a desktop.
Were things like: Setting their email to beep 99 times when they got a message and then sending them emails. Making their screen flash when they got an email. Making the system clock massive and saving it that way and returning it to normal so that next time they logged on they were surprised. Making a dozen clocks massive. Moving icons and folders around or nesting them all in humorously named folders. Changing the.openwin menu title to something really long so when they right clicked they got a massive window.
Of course it was UNIX but most of this could be duplicated elsewhere if you caught someone with their system unattended. Of course the best is if you've got time to do them all. They will notice the beeps and flashes and things and be sure not to leave their system unattended again so upon reboot they'll generally be mystified by the giant clocks which were not obvious before.
I'm thinking you're average Sith has their backup in place before they make their move and take out the other Sith. It wasn't a long time between Maul and Dukuu or between Dukuu and Vader. I also think the Sith are flexible and might consider Vader a Sith long before Annikan actually turned to the dark side.
I'd love to see a Robot Chicken on the interview process you relate though, that could be hysterical.
If you were trying to foment an internal revolution you might want to cut off outside info knowing the Mullahs would be blamed and their explanations would appear to be excuses for their own foul deeds. In the past Iranian students have rebelled for less.
I would like to see AOl and others to post some rules about forwarding decade old funnies and pushing for quick checks of snopes.
Just because this is new to you does not mean it is new to the hundred people on your list. I had to delist from my own father and now my grandmother is online so I expect a wave of the same old stuff.....
Initially they had different internals. When they finally fixed that they still didn't go all the way. Apple monitors have a bunch of non-standard sizes and resolutions and the cheeze-grater tower is too large to fit into the spot many computer desks reserver for such things. Not to mention the colors. Aluminum just doesn't look right to me. How about a white for entry level and black for Pro, that would be nice.
To ask if they post on any boards such as slashdot, and what their handle is?
Yeah they could lie but that would be fairly easy to find out I should think. If you were gonna
hire someone you could at least learn in advance if they spend all day on Slashdot and what kind of sense of humor (or not) that they have.
The needs of the writer have not changed since Word was first published 20 years ago so they've been forced to add unnecessary crap and change save formats to get people to upgrade. Sad really.
2007 was the year of Rainbow 6 in my opinion. Brilliant game, brilliant online performance.
Late in the year I got COD4 but Rainbow 6 dominated for 11 months so it has to get the title. I played GRAW in 2006 and loved it but it can't hold a candle to Rainbow 6 and GRAW 2 just didn't do it either.
I'm speaking from the XBOX 360 side of course.
This same arguement went before the Supremes in the days of audio cassettes and the Supreme Court said a buyer has the right to transfer the music and make reasonable backps. The Music companies than got the politicians to put an extra something in the sale of blank cassettes to compensate them. Anyway Apple used that precident when they came up with iTunes and there is little reason to believe it will be altered because of this silly case.
The areas that opted out generally had a physical sign that discouraged through traffic in some way. Residents and Guests only, that sort of thing. They didn't like us making decisions that "Man flashed gun, won't return for addresses" as the same as a physical sign. Apparently the rental cars we used in those days, and the close looking at addresses, to ground check things looked like unarmed cops or something and got some unfriendly reactions in bad areas.

That is the explanation the comes to mind. The spambots that are normally feeding you spam have been retasked. They'll be back soon enough.

If true it sounds like Microsoft has given up on defense contractors and government sales.

I agree, the only reason the joystick disappeared is because the article redefined the ones used today as thumbsticks.

Resolutions not monitor display size. Yes most graphics cards can handle the Apple Resolutions but not all and that is freaking annoying.
