That, and bombs are even simpler.

"what if we took all the guns away from all the world's armies?"

However, my civility remains because that sounds like a very good idea - so long as you only take them away from the armies and give them to the citizens of the world.

On the design, the chances of this thing slipping off and hitting one in the face would be greatly reduced if the rubber leading to the "First Finger" tip routed between the first and middle fingers, instead of to the outside.

These displays are nothing like a monitor - they do not refresh thousands of times a minute, and the backlight, if used, isn't very luminous. Take some time a see how the e-ink technology works, its sort of the grandchild of the etch a sketch. It uses ZERO power when displaying an image, and only uses power to CHANGE the image. You could even pull the battery out and it will display whatever it last displayed for years to come.

I don't mean to get rough with you, but I am an engineer, and keeping fruit fresh by regulation of atmosphere is *exactly* what i do for a living. CO2 is as important of an issue as ethylene is. You want SOME CO2 but there's a critical limit wherein the the peak of a bell curve is surpassed and the benefit of CO2 becomes a detrimental factor.

If the iPhone were purely a fashion statement, they never would have dropped the price. Secondly, the iPhone DOES have a camera.

The iPhone didn't have 3G because the infrastructure didn't exist for AT&T 3G during the design phase.

The first iPhones out were $600 and $700.

I don't understand what the hell you people are doing with your phones - are you really making excel documents and reading every email you get all the time as they come in? GPS? I have GPS in my car, and it gets used a couple of times a month. Who needs GPS on foot?

The thing that makes the iPhone awesome is the user interface. IT's the same thing with OS X - the interface is nice. People who dont appreciate an effective, simple interface are probably so desensitized by years of Windows and reformatting hard drives and busting out the three finger salute that convolution has become a part of their lives. Overly complicated is normal for them now, but they mistake that unnecessary complexity for a measure of how powerful their device is. And for some reason, they feel compelled through some sort of social disorder to be connected to everything all the time.

Anyone can pick up an iPhone and do everything the iPhone has to offer with very little guidance. You cant say that about ANY other phone. they've always got some retarded menu system and cryptic settings tags.

The math still works for determining the average pressure.

@pferde_schwanz:

RTFC, i was talking tank treads not tires.

I can believe that's true for brand new BMWs no problem - but for cars that people (as in, non-rich people) drive, it does make a difference. My corolla SR5 was definitely much happier with a big cone filter over the square box type. The surface area increased in my situation - the cone i put on was actually off some 8 cylinder car, and it barely fit under the hood. Made the car louder, though, but i liked that too.

HBO is like the BBC except all the humor is spelled out instead of dry, theres no british females unless they are hot or nannies, and also there's boobies.

We've been patient. We've been waiting this out. We've seen the writing on the wall for years now. Yet you still refuse to die.

We didn't want it to come to this, we wanted you to fade away peacefully, with dignity, with honor. But you've forced our hand, and we have no other choice.

We are going to kill you, AOL. You won't know when, and you won't know where. We're watching you, you know. We're always watching you.

gender is genetic - if you've got the proper chromosomes, regardless of genitals, you are still a woman.

that's probably it. novus ordo seclorum.

plants deal with UV differently than we do - we dont have a way to turn that light into energy, so it's not absorbed gracefully in humans.

yeah if i have a daughter, when she's a teen i'll be monitoring her protein intake VERY carefully, as well as the sources of that protein.

funny stuff man...

Can't use a pencil inside the shuttle because of the possibility of lead or graphite particles shorting something out.

just like how the cavemen in their SUVs caused the last global warming cycle, 100,000 years ago, oil exclusively being from decaying life doesn't hold water.

fossil fuels... that's funny. you guys aware of the abiotic oil theory? We REALLY need to get this out there:

OIL. DOES. NOT. COME. FROM. FOSSILS.

OIL PRODUCTION IS A GEOLOGICAL PROCESS.

[www.worldnetdaily.com]

If oil comes from fossils, why do the moons of saturn have friggin oil?

yeah i have an awesome juicer i use for stuff like that, but it says yer not suppose to do kale in it. but no prob, i can always go to the hippy supermarket and have em make some for me.

You know, MOST people leave it up to other people to decide if they're awesome or not.

On the other hand, I admire your assertive.... assertion.

Or alternatively, you could STFU when you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

"sea vegetables in your diet can even help leech heavy metal contamination from the body. Researchers at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, have discovered this action was thanks to the presence of a substance called alginic acid which, once ingested, can bind to heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury. The same substance in kelp was found by the US Atomic Energy Commission to prevent the absorption of background, low level radioactive susbtances from high voltage power lines, computers and televisions."

Many leafy greens contain similar compounds. The inrush of vitamins in a form the body can actually use, along with the sugars and fibers cause a metabolic increase that also starts burning through some of your fat cells, and if you knew anything about chemistry you'd know that toxins and other various foreign chemicals tend to bond to lipids, as most are not all that water soluble. So in burning off some fat while providing compounds that bond to and allow for the flushing of those chemicals, you are in fact detoxifying your body.

crap. im not an office lady i swear ok?

It's cute, though.

We share a T1 at work, so it's fine here - this is why it's rare to see posts from me at night.

The crystal Skulls have not been resolved in any way. Their origins are still mysterious and it is still impossible to duplicate them.

Yeah i just did raw anything, if i could find clean beef i'd eat that raw too, but you can never be sure.

I think most people get to day three, which is the peak of the effects of detoxifying, and they think that's how you feel if you dont eat cooked food. So they give up.

Hard part is even though you miss all the wonderful stuff that's bad for you, when you start eating cooked food again you realize how BLEH you feel - and you realize that before you went raw, you felt bleh all the time but didnt realize it.

I feel the same way about the air filter/intakes on cars - a simple swap to a high volume cone filter adds a couple of horses and a mile per gallon or so, depending on the car.

it's not so much that you have two wrongs making a right... see, when two things are that tacky, when you put em together, they stick.

you're kidding, right? 99% of the people who use it don't contribute to wikipedia. This is useful because it's in a light format, it's all GNU so no legal problems AFAIK, and what if i want to look up the nominal dimensions of a door aperture of a standard high-cube intermodal shipping container, and im in the middle of nowhere? See, there are TONS of very likely situations where this would be handy.

looks ok to me.
