I was using Google Earth yesterday and I noticed that if I gave some spin to the landscape (i.e. make it "coast" in a given direction) I was getting a stunning 3d effect as the landscape (Arizona mountains) scrolled below my view...
Start at Lat. 35 2'37.26"N Long. 11419'6.20"W, Eye Alt. just under 8000 ft.
Give Google Earth just the slightest "nudge" upwards so you scroll slowly south. The model has to coast on it's own to see the 3D.
For just using photos it's an amazing effect.
Everyone likes to think that 7 buries stuff deeper, but in reality, almost everything is 2 or 3 clicks away from the desktop.
Especially if you make yourself a GodMode folder.
Make a new folder Name (or rename) it GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} You can of course make shortcuts to this folder for use on Desktop, Start menu, etc.. Oh, it will also run from a thumb drive (a copy of the folder, not a shortcut) plugged into another Win7 machine
Most fun Windows control panel ever.
The human body has a large amount of carbon. Long story short, the trees will start hungering for us!
Billy! BILLY!! You get yur ass outta that nanotube tree right this minute! What's wrong with you boy, you know that dang thing done et your brother Bobby two years ago!
Wow, you got a troll for doing the "PIN number" (translates to '"Personal Identification Number" number') and the "personal PIN number" (translates to 'personal "Personal Identification Number" number') joke...
Step away from the keyboard, for the mods are angry today!
Still, those of us in "The Department of Redundancy Department" send along a hearty "Well Done"!
Well, I do believe this little note fulfills my quota of quotation mark abuse for the day...
So, Long story short is I'm not going to get a cool new device that replaces the microwave AND the trash compactor at the same time? I always let these headlines build my hopes for a better future... You'd think I would learn...
That's not the worst of it... Stupid must be nurtured, protected, praised. If the world is dangerous, we must change the world to make it safe for Stupid. If evolution was allowed to run it course, Stupid would die bit by bit in horribly stupid ways... so we must at any cost protect Stupid from real world consequences of stupid actions.
What? Idiots and Racists may be self excluding? What ever will we do for entertainment? Also, what asshat broke the internet in NA? Seems like a lot of pages are not loading here in AZ (not just the/.ed ones)... somebody want to look at that "internet routes around damage" thing and maybe whack it on the side or something?
Funny, but if you ever tangle with a jelly fish I promise you won't want to do it again. If we are going to start harvesting them, maybe a non-lethal weapon can be made from the venom... HALT or be really painfully stung!
Dude, I think you have just found a new use for Clippy! Make your document concise, grammatically correct and well-written and clippy dies a very violent death, otherwise he won't go away. If that isn't motivation to write well I don't know what is.
If you fall behind or fail you get a canned upbraiding from Jar-Jar Binks... Mesa sooo disappointed in yousa performance! Yousa not living up to expectations!" Of course, this could just lead to damaged speakers or eardrums (depending on which is easiest to access).
Don't forget their exemption from: minimum wage laws OSHA regulations equal employment laws the Americans With Disabilities Act and the cash cow, a one-year lobbying restriction that applies to executive branch employees...
...he got his break precisely because old media had already abandoned journalism for cronyism...
No, not "cronyism". We all have cronies, have you ever tried to get any money out of them? Friends are friends but business is BUSINESS... Bribes are (supposed to be) unlawful. Advertising purchases are something every large endeavor budgets for. If a story negative to your endeavor runs in some media outlet, you choke down the ad buys from the parent company and let the shit roll down hill as it always does... next time you get a call before the story runs, not after you slam your checkbook.
Ever take apart a remote control to clean the backs of the rubber buttons and corresponding contact points on the PCB? Nice soft conducting material there... I think it's a carbon embedded in the rubber. Whatever it is, it would make a conductive game piece base and could have a unique pattern in it.

When we've turned all the carbon in to trees?

Wow, modded a troll for doing an acronym with redundant descriptors joke.
Step away from the keyboard, for the MODS are angry today...

What, people won't line up for the assurance that their CPU is "Intel Genuine Advantage" approved?

I for one don't welcome our Stupid Overlords.

Sterile, sure, but with all the prescriptions we are on here in the developed world... not necessarily free from extras.
Well the good news is that if they're on Viagra the urine ends up on the wall instead of in the bowl...

Yes, the 11th Commandment: "Thou shalt make backups"
Unfortunately, it was on the third tablet...
So, there was no backup of the tablet containing the "Backup Commandment"?

Forget the knife! Clippy did it.
I always thought that bastard was bent...
What ever happened to burying it?
Turns out the dirt in the back yard was proprietary and his iShovel would not allow him to make any modifications of it...

Thanks for reminding me my state has primary elections tomorrow...
