How many times have you combed the living room for 10 minutes trying to find the remote , when you could have just changed the channel by hand and sat back down?
From reading these posts you would think that Ron Paul was the only candidate running.
As the typical uneducated voter who only watches the news (and belives that is the best source of information)when i tune in too early for American Idol and who makes up the majority of who will be voting for president. here is my rundown.
Huckabee. That preacher dude? McCain. That old veteran dude. Romney. Aint he that mormon dude? Paul. That nutty dude.
As you can see , I am ready to make an informed decision on who will become president. rest assured, the future is safe in my hands.
I remember reading a similar article in PopSci, only it was a one shot chemical laser designed for protecting commercial aircraft.
The medium was mixed, then the resulting reaction achieved the correct population inversion for a high powered pulse, and then it was done. Im not sure but it seems from the article that this refreshes the medium via the "supersonic nozzle" and can fire several pulses.
I wonder what they do with all the nasty byproducts of the reaction, jetison it out the back of the plane?
I was making my money washing dishes and living in poverty myself until a friend helped me get my first computer and access to the web. With the information I found, I was able to educate myself and now I repair high powered lasers and program robots.
So,I am an example of the difference teaching a man to fish can make, if someone had just given me some rice i would have just made some stir fry, thats it.
Obviously it isnt going to make alot of difference to the people who are living in mud huts somewhere in the Congo(give them the rice), but in the right hands it could be just the thing to help improve the situation.
In my area CompUSA was the only place one could take a laptop in for warranty repair and get it
back within a reasonable amount of time without more problems than you started with.
The only other major retailer around where i live is bestbuy, and its always a never ending hassle trying to
get a warranty service with those guys.
i find it odd that there is so many small penises out there looking for larger penises for the penis enlargement scams to be so profitable. it kinda renews my self confidence. penis
Sounds like you Brits need to do something quick , first they take away your guns, put up cameras on every street corner and traffic light. Now they are making you register your fingerprints when you go to the pub. The next thing ya know they will be making you get a licence to eat fish and chips.
"Please fill out this form in triplicate to show you have paid your tea tax. cheerio!"
If they start restricting internet content, whats to stop them from taking away all of your guns and putting closed circut cameras on every street corner (complete with loud speakers).
oh wait, they already did that over there..sorry.
We have milions of poor people who need shoes , clothes , food etc. I just watched a program on P.B.S. about a single mom in Kentucky who lives in a school bus with her three kids.Quick someone send some laptops to nigeria! That will fix it.
Can't we just start some peanut plantations over there or something,they will still be better off than if they were living in a grass hut with a laptop to swat flies with , hackers or no hackers.
I think Wikipedia is a great tool, not only is it good for research but it has entertainment value as well. When Im looking for something to read about I can just go to the main page and read a featured article or a "did you know". Many times i have started off reading about something like Mexican tree frogs and ended up on a page about quantum physics just by following links in the text.
Although, sometimes I've started off reading about quantum physics and ended up looking at something like a list of references to Finnish melodic death metal (wich I am not at all suprized to know actualy exists http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_Crew_Deathroll ) so I guess it works both ways. I hope Citizendium is a success just for the fact that we need all the free access to information we can get our hands on, and for the promotion of the exchanging of knowledge with everyone, even if some of that knowledge is contributed by someone who is an expert on "The Simpsons" at least that person is willing to share what they know with the rest of the internet community (It is part of our history after all). Who knows when half the "crap" poeple post will come in handy and if nothing else there is a record of it somewhere for future generations. After all, even if you may not use your Hydatid of Morgagni http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydatid_of_Morgagni at least you can know it is there in case you want to.
i think the ipod is just a little over rated. It was just a matter of time before someone came up with the idea.Apple just did what they usualy do, put it in a cool package and market the hell out of it to make it look cool to the largest market base.
I think there are alot better mp3 players on the market now that are priced for less, they just dont have the advertising that the ipod has , and therefore arent as "cool". What would realy be awsome? If someone started making an mp3 player that accepted removable flash memory cards so they could be swapped out like cd's (like on a pda). Or even the ability to trade songs on you "ipod" via bluetooth or something (like on a mp3 cell phone). I like to listen to music on my hp ipaq pocket pc, its a little bigger but i can also view video, pictures, play games, surf the web, etc.
Im not sure what type of fuel this thing burns, but what happens to the exaust gasses? With the millions of portable devices out there,( and the other applications im sure would find a use for this)what kind of demand for fuel will it create and what kind of by-products will be produced? I guess what im trying to say is will we all have carbon monoxide or worse constantly spewing from our pockets, purses, backbacks, etc. Will a crowded elevator be turned into a gas chamber?
I also think its a realy cool concept and i belive it could lead to some realy great advancements in gadgetry.

I,m already circling overhead,patiently waiting to collect my share of the carrion.

Frankly,
i just read this post for the Russian reversal puns , im greatly dissapointed.
It should be perfectly legal to run over jay-walkers who are listning to an i-pod.
surface to air missiles using model rockets and gunpowder.
i was never brave enough to actualy use the pvc shoulder launcher.
i find it odd that there is so many small penises out there looking for
larger penises for the penis enlargement scams to be so

I for one welcome our new roving robotic overlords.

Perhaps some congressmen have racked up a super dept by gambling online and are now making it illegal for it to be collected.
