Am I the only one who thinks that Twitter is created by and for morons? It's picture perfect. I can imagine a 60s novel predicting such an avenue for useless information, but the author would have not chosen to name it anything like "Twitter" because his readers wouldn't have taken him seriously.
But hey, who's to bother making such a point amongst the masses? No one even pays attention to accomplishments, elegance, or talent. So many beautiful songs are written every day, and we end up with things like Pokerface, completely void of style or melodic depth, becoming the most popular? How sad. Twits.
2001 jokes? Let's take this a little more seriously...
Looks as though someone's been paid off to get the ball rolling. Special interest groups, perhaps? I predict that we'll be seeing a lot of future studies on the subject with the majority being positive to the UAV/drone idea, and within ten years, we'll have UAVs in the skies. Imagine all the cheap police UAVs out patrolling everyone's backyards surveying the nude sunbathers and what's growing back there.
There may be a lower fat content per unit of meat, but here's where you are a little shortsighted (no offense!!): the Canadians have stockpiles of bacon. Warehouses, supply depots, and bazaars. This is why the Canadians have such a strong economy now. They finally found their place in the world. Bacon.

I have some guys here at work who use their iPhones for VNC quite religiously. VNC is a tad bit closer to "its own desktop" than this app, granted it is a snapshot of another machine's desktop. Where do you draw the line, Mr. Jobs?
Interesting. He didn't have any feeders, so there were no alternative sources of food. It might be best in this case to close the hive to a.5in^2 entrance for defence and install a big feeder in the winter.
Did you have feeders installed when this happened?
This kind of info/experiment might help to narrow down variables when trying to determine what is/isn't CCD. I'm going to start some hives next year and run datalogger PCs for the hives. What data would you recommend recording? (Temperature, outside wind speed, ingress/egress, etc.)
How much does one unit cost, and is this actually scalable and affordable for nations where there are landmines? Most of these countries are third-world as the majority of landmines in first-world countries (e.g. Germany) was cleared years ago.
I know a farmer who is a beekeeper. I used to be a beekeeper myself. Over the past year, he lost all three of his stationary hives that he leaves out in the woods. I inspected two of them with him
The latest one that he lost was in March. In a matter of days, all the bees died within the hive as if they had been gassed or poisoned. None of the bees attempted to remove the old bees as normally happens. The "full complement" of workers was there in a pile at the bottom of the hive--nothing had dispersed. There was no smell of disease. And there was plenty of non-rotted honey left. Few predators or scavengers to be found in the hive eating the honey: no yellow jackets, and all the hive beetles were dead. A few spiders. Very, very odd.
The previous one died in December/January. The previous year, there had been plenty of honey left. This was a very productive hive. We opened it up after noticing the eerie silence near the hive and that the bees were not egressing for cleaning flights. Pushing on the hive, it rocked with ease which normally doesn't happen because these things can weigh well over a hundred pounds when healthy. There was absolutely NOTHING left in this huge hive. No honey, no workers, no brood, nothing. No honey. No dead bees on the outside. A healthy hive had just disappeared during the middle of the winter.
I find a little conflict here. The service out there is kind of sucky, and I don't see how he could have lost three hives in the last year and none in prior years when probably nothing has changed with the cell service out there aside from maybe a beam direction change.
It's an obvious slippery slope. Let's try a few scenarios, all tasteless in one way or another--
-Jews wanting to take down a "money grubbing Jews" page
-Christians wanting to take down a Woodland Critter Christmas South Park page
-Environmentalists wanting to take down an anti-Earth Day page
-Vegetarians wanting to take down a "For every animal you don't eat, I'll eat three" page
Honestly, where does it stop? You can't start taking down one page for one party because that would be discriminatory to everyone else. Why shouldn't environmentalists get the same treatment as Muslims? What about the vegetarians? They have their reasons and causes, too.
My guess is that Facebook knew how much money they were losing from advertisers and that once again, they would rather take the "less free" way out once again to rake in as much cash as possible.
Exactly. I talked with one of my contacts at the Atlanta CDC about this. She said that little was said at that point about exactly how they procured this method, but it is something possible only with new technologies that have evolved in the past decade. That, and the limited amount of manpower dedicated to such a project mean that unless you're really lucky, it's going to take the full 30 years.
I wonder how many lives will eventually be saved and what awards will be gotten because of this.
Mod this one down, too. You can also find other posts I've made by clicking on my username above. Or, just click here. Mod them all down. Believe me, I'll be posting at +2 till the end of time regardless of whether y'all get me to terrible karma. This site sucks because of the moderation, and I'll do anything I can to make this a blatant point.
There are lots of holes in games since the last thing that programmers or gamers really want to think about is account security. (Cheating security frequently is the first thing that comes to mind.)
One of my buds ran a long thread here a while back. Several of his accounts were taken...don't remember how they got his WoW account. But it ended up that he eventually figured out that a server admin had poisoned a Web-downloadable.exe map pack file with a trojan that scraped some account info off files while running a keylogger to get anything that the scraper missed. These hackers are usually on top of their game (no pun intended).
Believe me, I know how to farm karma. I can even say so right here, right now with no risk in the long term. The moderators here are stupid pigeons. How else would I continue to post at +2 at this very moment?
I was told by one of my old girlfriends who works for Schlumberger (she has her own sources) that this isn't a permanent fix. They are doing a top fill because it is faster than waiting for the relief well to do a bottom fill. This top fill is likely a temporary measure, and they are still going to have to drill a relief well to intercept the main well which is going to take time.
We can only pray that once they cap this, it sticks till they can get the relief well fully drilled.
What if iPhone Firefox had a built-in Flash viewer that would be activated only after the software were approved, e.g. with a datebomb or visiting a secret website that would not be available until "everyone" had the app installed? This could be the crowbar move to get Apple moving with Flash after everyone sees how wonderful it is.

Nope, they're insightful, based on trends in the American past. Do you know what an insight is? DIAF.

Aspartame isn't going to do it. It takes high fructose corn syrup and the consciousness of a pigeon to really do the job.

In the states, we call distilled rye beer scotch. ;)
See?
Plug wires in again in a more colorful way.

Ummm....and HOW does one become inducted into the GNAA? Did you bother reading the FP, moron?
Google search query: 200 seconds * (mach 6) in miles
This brings us to about 254 miles in 200 seconds. Beats my morning commute speeds.
How useful is this in the long run? What was the burn ratio compared to other scramjet vehicles of recent design?

You stupid idiot, you can't get credit for posting a GNAP story if you post it as AC.
