  1. Re:So..... on FBI: $10,000 Reward For Info On Anyone Who Points a Laser At an Aircraft · · Score: 4, Informative

    The *potential* damage could be a few hundred dead people at the end of a runway. It's not that they're damaging to the eye, they're distracting. When cats start flying aircraft, maybe people will be prosecuted.

    Check out the gifs on this page.. I definitely wouldn't want to try landing a plane in that situation.

    Wouldn't that just tell you the temperature of the thermometer itself? If the thermometer isn't there to receive heat by radiation, does the vacuum have a temp?

  15. Re:Very excited to see what is next! on Makerbot Desktop 3D Scanner Goes On Sale · · Score: 1

    Yes, because no more advances will ever be made in 3D printing, and the prices will always be prohibitively high. He also didn't say anything about buying a printer. He said go to a place like Kinko's

    You can print with ABS too, which is what a lot, if not most, of the plastic used in cars.

  16. Re:Dominican Republic, Iran and Thailand stats on Open Source Mapping Software Shows Every Traffic Death On Earth · · Score: 1

    I was in Thailand earlier this year, and the figures didn't surprise me at all! The cab drivers drive like maniacs, with people on scooters swarming inches away from them, weaving in and out of traffic. And it's not unusual to see scooters with 3 people on them, or girls with skirts riding side-saddle

  17. Re:Dogs everywhere say "wtf" on Canadian City Uses Drone To Chase Off Geese · · Score: 1

    I'm willing to bet you could even make money and get rid of the geese at the same time by getting a group of people to sign up for fitness classes, then you have them run up and down the beach, scaring the geese off. As bold as geese can be, they're not just going to sit there when a herd of fatties comes charging at them.

  18. Re:What about hawks? on Canadian City Uses Drone To Chase Off Geese · · Score: 1

    Maybe geese are wired to protect their young from birds of prey. The instinct might kick in even if they don't have young to protect.

    That's not an 'f'. It's a "long s" used in the beginning or middle of a word.
    see here note the crossbar on the long s is only on the left side, and they use "s" at the end of a word. The regular "s" was only used in the middle of a word if it came directly after a long s

    I've known plenty of guys who scream at the TV during a game. I can't say I've ever seen one of them doing it while partially or fully unclothed (thank goodness).

    Yeah, they save that particular behavior for when they're actually in a sports arena and being broadcast to millions of other guys screaming at their TVs
