'll apply it twice to my teenage daughter for better results. The question is, how many times will your teenage daughter have to apply the patch to you? (My own daughter is 3 and I can't wait until she's a teen... in fact, I can't wait until she stops trying to pull me out of my chair while demanding over and over that I come play with her... your teenager doesn't still do this, does she?)
Wow! This being 3/11/2004, how did you get a news story from 3/13/2004? Do you have a device that allows you to transmit data back in time? What? You say it was really from 3/10/2004? Oh...
The competitors are robotic vehicles taking on the form of SUVs, dune buggies and golf carts. Damn, a golf cart with a 200 mile range?!? I gotta have one of those!
Well, see DARPA funded the initial development of this toy we've all come to love and refer to as "the Internet". So whenever DARPA starts pumping money into newer and even more exciting toys, all the geeks' little ears perk up... "Wow, the things I could do with an autonomous robotic off-road vehicle! Why, I might even get laid!"
Now, personally, I'd rather have my own Predator drone, but I can see the appeal of stomping around the boonies in a vehicle you don't have to steer while you're tipping your beer back. Or while going into the cooler for another beer. Or while taking potshots at what appear to be deer in orange reflective vests. Or ever steer, for that matter. Frequently lost? Embarrassed to ask for directions? This is the vehicle for you! However, it requires a special breed of owner: somebody with several million dollars burning a hole in his back pocket, who is also not afraid to admit that his off-road vehicle is smarter than he is. Much, much, MUCH smarter.
By the way, google sez DARPA is the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Note the ".mil" suffix; this denotes it is run by the greatest toymakers in the world: the US Military Industrial complex.
But, couldn't you make the translucent concrete hollow too? Since the thermal conductivity of concrete isn't too different from that of glass, this would be a great replacement for glass block walls... perhaps more expensive, but a hell of a lot stronger! Plus it can be cast into arbitrary shapes -- think round shower enclosures... Complete with skylights.
curved corners are all well and good until you try to push your desk, bookshelf, bed or other boxy piece of furniture into the corner of your room... not all pieces of furniture (especially a bookshelf, for example) can have curvey edges in them, and you do limit your options to some extent... Funny, I have the same problem trying to push my round furniture into the square corners of my stick-built house... yes, you obviously need custom furniture for your custom house, just like an airstream trailer...
And that guy next door to you who has a house designed to look like a giant vagina is now reducing the resale value of your house... Or increasing the property values, if you live in an area with a lot of geeks... especially if your own house is designed to look like a giant penis...
There's just one problem... apparently the carorcar.com website is doing fine, but the original website has been slashdotted into uselessness! If the original site was smart, they would just link into the copy, and save themselves bandwidth costs!
svelt little nipple hiding behind a sun-shaped nipple medallion. Oh, is that what is was... how many times did you have to replay that scene on your Tivo before you could figure it out?
If you didn't have some form of contract with him before he gave you that advice, then you owe him nothing. I personally have never gotten advice from a lawyer without being forced to sign a contract first. So, if you signed up for the RIAA's amnesty program and promised not to download any more songs, then you are clearly in violation of the contract if you download -- and the contract violation is much easier to prove in court.
That just makes cheating more expensive. I can still take the video out from one machine, feed it into optical recognition software in a second machine, and have that second machine generate my mouse input. Undetectable by the first machine. Certainly not worth it, but then why is any form of cheating worth the trouble?
hunting down some specific pics of a specific girl from a specific site WILL be bitchy compared to just paying few dollars Hint: Google is your friend. And google also indexes images. Frequently, if you know a person's name, it can find you pictures of that person. So, why does anybody pay for porn? I don't know. Presumably it is higher quality than what is available for free. But why anybody would trust anybody on the web, let alone a porn merchant, with their credit card number is beyond me... also, as soon as you pay for something, the government and marketers are able to track your preferences and connect them back to you through your payment method. Do you really want Ashcroft knowing what your preferences are?
Good point. I can't think of any effective way of guarding against aimbots in software, since anybody with enough time and money could dummy up the mouse input. Perhaps a hardware solution would work... what if you required the use of a cryptographically secure mouse? Sounds like it ultimately still would be able to be cracked. Can anybody think of an effective way of preventing the use of aimbots, other than playing only with people you trust?
Just convince Paul Teutul Sr. and Paul Teutul Jr. to go with you... maybe bring some of their choppers to ride around the island? No speed limits could be a major attraction. Of course, the fact that racing slicks don't work too well on tundra could be a major downside.
It is not a single corporate entity controlling the.mobile TLD, it is a consortium of at least a half dozen corporate entities... this is much better in the same sense that having OPEC control oil prices is better than having a single company control them.
ICANN charges a non-refundable $45,000 for an application, and the total cost of developing a proper bid is reckoned to run into millions. That certainly shoots down my idea of requesting a.dork top level domain!
Now Microsoft, America Online, Earthlink and Yahoo are the good guys? That's the problem with huge corporations -- they are large enough that they can simultaneously be the pinnacle of evil and good allies in making the world a better place. Here's wishing the greedy, unethical assholes good luck in bringing down the even greedier and less ethical spammers!
As a preemptive strike, they should attempt to identify and disable all Windows hosts on the internet, as obviously these are all susceptible to being hijacked and used in a DDoS attack.
Firewall experts (e.g. David Bonn) discussed this idea years ago, and discarded it as being unworkable. Make just one mistake, and you're as guilty as the people attempting to DoS you... which means you are now a terrorist under the Patriot Act!
So now we can launch a DDoS attack on SCO using forged Microsoft IP addresses, then just sit back and laugh our asses off as the "retaliations" agains each other escalate? Great! This turns an annoyance into the internet equivalent of the Middle East conflict ("We will continue escalating the retaliation against Palestine until they stop retaliating against us!") ! I can't wait!

Remember, to Microsoft it is not an important problem unless they already have a fix for it!

Can it extrude light-transmitting concrete???

What are the heat-transmittal properties of this material? Is it a better or worse insulator than glass blocks?
