1) Wasn't there a battery problem a while ago that some thought might prevent the Earth return? Did that problem get resolved?
2) The spacecraft looks like it's almost halfway between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Has there been anything send further from Earth and returned safely? I'd think that the parts of the spacecraft that return should have a place in the Smithsonian.
Check my other message. Comparitive embryology is considered evidence of evolution. Haeckel's embryos are not regarded as accurate. Modern comparitive embryology ignores Haeckel's drawings, and they do not deserve to be included in books.
Also, are you sure that the drawings in the textbooks are the ones done by Haeckel, or are they more modern?
And now, it's time to get rid of my own misunderstanding! (Yum crow is good)
There are similarities in embryonic development that are shared by all creatures. The fact that the development is similar *can* be taken as a bit of evidence for evolution.
So, my statement that science abandoned it a long time ago was wrong.
Almost 150 years later, those drawings are still in most textbooks, cited as evidence for evolution.
Let's get rid of *your* lie. The idea that embryonic development is evidence for evolution was abandoned by science a very long time ago. I can only believe that you either don't know any better, or you are deliberately making things up.
Evolution is a fact, that's well established. All debate about evolution is about how it happened.
It's not such a big deal, because the kidneys are very efficient. They get the excess out of the blood and into the bladder very quickly. An 80 oz. drink will make you pee like a racehorce.
Also, even if there's more water, there's no reduction in red blood cells. The blood can carry just as much oxygen. The difference in work that the heart has to do is probably much less than the extra effort it would make on a good walk. But that doesn't last long, since the kidneys are efficient.
You do have to worry about excess fluid eventually diluting electrolytes that nerve signals rely on. If you dilute them too much, the resistance goes up, and no more signals! Serious control problems.
But you didn't understand MY point either. Who cares about digital? Just turn that digital signal into analog and record THAT. If I can see it, I can record it.
If you've got expensive tastes, then presumably you have the income to match.
In that case, the entire point of the article is moot. Who cares if TiVo can't record a digital signal directly? You'll just happily throw it away and get a new one that can. No sweat off your back then.
The average development cost of a small dobsonian telescope from a major manufacturer is probably pretty high, greater than $100,000. But I can build you one in my shop for less than $800. Probably half that.
I think that an individual with a lot of skill and passion could turn out 10 great pinball games every year. They'd be the result of his experience and tinkering, not a mass market product.
Production will just move to hand assembly. I think that anyone with some skill and love for the machines could make a living building these things. You'd need a machine shop, and some wood tools too, but suppose you built 10 of these every year, and sold them for 5 grand. It would be a pretty nice living.
Of course, 10 grand isn't the going rate right now, but eventually the prices for a new custom built machine might get that high.
Henry Spencer is one of the great fixtures of Usenet. He worked at the University of Toronto I think, and was a sys admin/programmer/demigod sort of person. He's had his hands in all sorts of great and wonderful things that we take for granted nowadays.
Actually arthropods cover spiders, centipedes, and insects. Arthropods is the phylum. Centipedes are class Chilopoda, spiders are class Arachnida and order Araneae, and insects are class Insecta.
Not the most difficult bug I ever encountered, but one that didn't pop right out.
Project was porting code from Solaris to AIX, multithreaded app. At one point in the code, two threads were started, and they needed to synchronize with each other.
Anyway, on Solaris, the threads would start and interact properly. On AIX, the system would crash. Turned out that right after a thread was started on Solaris, the scheduler would stop one thread and allow the other one to start up, and from then on both threads existed at the same time as they should.
Under AIX, the scheduler would start a thread, and that thread would run through to completion before the other one even got started. To fix this, we had to add in a rendezvous point at the top of each thread, so that the first thread would stop and wait for the second one to be created.
I looked on the site and there wasn't a clear answer to that question.
If you can't run your own servers, you basically have to eat what they dish out to you, and you're limited in what you can say. 10 megs for webspace - that's nothing. On my DirectTV DSL line I have a static IP for $49 a month. I have an 80 gig drive in my webserver. That's a whole lotta opinions that I can put on that drive.
I once took notes from a fast talking History professor for an hour and a half straight on my Newton 130, without a single error in reading my handwriting.

See this article for the source of my inspiration.

Of course my TiVo is compatible with a digital signal. All I need is my D/A converter, which I'll be using anyway.
Folks, you don't HAVE to eat what they're dishing out. Honestly, 525 scan lines and a mono speaker really is enough for me.

That's what it costs for a company.

For me it was the newsgroups with the name net.*
That was before the Great Renaming.
You're on crack. West Wing is real. It's as real as Star Trek.

The computer is trained to recognise your writing, over time. You might have crappy writing, but if you're consistent about it the Newton can read it.
So, did he fight the ticket? Did he tell the cop to get off his land because he didn't have a warrant to be there?
