"Before The Golden Age" vols. 1-4. A series of science fiction anthologies written before 1939 (the beginning of the "Golden Age" of science fiction). A look at how our great/grandparents saw today (their far future).
Seems that if you're going to be in an enclosed space with other people for an extended time, you want foods that produce little/no "natural gas", because, of course *your* farts don't stink, but that other guy's....
What kind of hail do you have that would damage the small end of a plastic bottle?
I'm trying to imagine how much force it would take to damage one.
Here in Central Oklahoma (you know, the place with EF 5 tornados...), hail the size of ping pong or golf balls is common at least once a year (frequently more often), and hailstones up to 3" is not unheard of. These will go completely through a commonly-decked roof.
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire how about yours
That's the way I like it and I never get bored
It was a 5 minute phone call for me, when I wanted my Visa to send me a new card without RFID. They sent me the card, and added a flag on my account to not automatically "upgrade" me to RFID ever again
It took me less than one minute with a center punch and a hammer, and none of my RFID cards give away my information. Ever.
Actually, their pay (Congress/Senate) is supposed to be withheld until the sequestration ends.
If this is the end of the civilized world, as some are fearmongering it, why was Obama out on a golf vacation instead of working on the budget? Does this show how seriously he takes it? Sequestration was his idea after all.

...if these printers were somewhere they could reasonably replace a fax machine. But then, even fax machines are abused/spammed.
And it doesn't have to be deliberate. I supplied the department with a year's worth of scrap paper when I tried to print a postscript file to a laser printer. Something in the Windows-to-Appletalk software got munged and the text of the file got printed instead of the document.
Too often the forensic office is friends with and/or pressured by the police or DA to get results.
More likely they are willing to do whatever they can to "fight crime". As an example, I give you the case of Joyce Gilcrist. From the Wilipedia entry
"Joyce Gilchrist is a former forensic chemist who had participated in over 3,000 criminal cases in 21 years while working for the Oklahoma City police department, and who was accused of falsifying evidence. Her evidence led in part to 23 people being sentenced to death, 11 of whom have been executed."
We'll never know how many of those 3000 were actually innocent, while the guilty walked free. She should have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder through depraved indifference, but that's just my opinion.
On 30th August 2012 00:44 GMT, there was an article on The Register titled "Customers dumping Samsung phones in wake of Apple suit"
Apple CEO Tim Cook might be pleased with the verdict in his company's recent patent legislation against Samsung, but Samsung customers are definitely not, according to the market watchers at mobile phone trade-in firm Gazelle.
"Consumers seem to be jumping ship," Anthony Scarsella, Gazelle's "chief gadget officer," told MarketWatch. "We expect this trend to continue, especially with this latest verdict."
Scarsella says his company, which buys used mobile phones from consumers, has seen a 50 per cent increase in the number of customers looking to unload Samsung kit since Monday alone. The sudden upsurge in supply has led Gazelle to drop the prices it pays for Samsung mobiles by 10 per cent.
To be fair, hair clippings wouldn't provide DNA and it would become quite obvious that they were planted when every hair found at the crime scene was found to be snipped rather than pulled/fallen out.
People are using the anonymous cover of Twitter to hide behind and post abusive and hateful, even threatening messages. This was highlighted last week by the arrest of a young man in England who posted about Olympic diver Tom Daley. There are increasingly louder calls for Twitter to censor the messages.

Who said that WMDs were found in Iraq?
Well, NBC News for one...http://www.nbcnews.com/id/4997808/
Did they check for jellyfish in the intakes?
And its paid off so far... no one has touched them.
And then the USA IRS paid a visit. The Swiss folded like the French...

Can they pay those with bitcoin?
I'm thinking of converting my Hummer to run on whale oil.
Seems like a hand job would work better with whale oil than a hummer...

...And dancing hamsters.

My deam of custom 45s in a classic home jukebox inches closer and closer.
Mine too - Kimber, S&W, Norinco, Colt Custom Shop... Oh, sorry, wrong 45's...
People seem to feel that they have to have some kind of lasting impact on the world of their lives to matter.
And this sums up the philosophy behind twitter users completely...
Shame it's not tied into Politicians' pay,
Actually, their pay (Congress/Senate) is supposed to be withheld until the sequestration ends.

mu-Metal works better than iron. It has 80-100 times better shielding capability. It's also lighter (kinda a big thing for space use...)

So which is it? Buying or dumping?

You obviously haven't been to my hair salon!
