Well my knowledge of geography in that part of the world is lacking, obviously. It mostly comprises of places I've been to and the most common general knowledge. On a different note, there's this movie about a japanese peruvian taxi driver in japan. One day he picks up this guy who has...

And in fact if you think about it, PC tehnology is still the same. It's merely been refined and the designs have changed (I hate to say improved since Intel CPUs are computer architecture nightmares). We still use silicon, we still use photolithography. And this devaluation of parts is...

I believe the country that city belongs to even has/had a japanese president.

Well you change a magnetic field and you get an electric field which induces a magnetic field etc ... otherwise known as light. The two aren't seperable. And the shields can't be EM anyway. It shouldn't be hard to engineer a projectile that is not affected by EM. Not to mention that if it...

I don't know. If you follow Delance's link you will find the attempts at other Unicron figures and look around and you'll find the current Armada figures. Maybe that will give you an idea. I'm wondering how old Preacher is now that he has no idea of Unicron. Or maybe his folks only let him...

Getting a magnetic field to change fast is easy. We've been doing it for decades. Its called a radio transmitter. Moving current causes a magnetic field to form. Therefore you make the current alternate and change the freq of change and your mag. field changes accordingly. But this does not...

I believe a Unicron action figure is finally going to be mass produced in the Transformers: Armada line. Yay!

Preacher, well, actually I'm not sure if Mozilla and Opera are available for Unix. Most of our machinces had Linux installed on them. But some are still Solaris. I sorta just assumed that someone would have written the appropriate libraries to get those browsers compiled and working in Unix...

How so? Mozilla runs fine on various nixes. There are also better alternatives like Konqueror and Chimera. The former is the basis of the Mac Safari browser and while I do not know how well safari runs Konqueror is indeed a very good browser and Chimera is based on Mozilla but some improvements...

I meant they tried it and failed. Yes, I know about he goats milk thing. The technology was developed by a Canadian company who first spliced spider genes with mammalian cells (I can't recall from what) in the hopes that it would start producing the protiens that make up spider silk. Similar...

Any links to that info Maniac? It sounds more like an April fools joke. I do believe no one can synthesize spider silk yet (at least not in perfectly and no where near the quantities needed for such a project) and nano techonology isn't about little tiny robots that can augment a persons...

What? I thought everyone knew they did porn.

You forgot the girl Delance, the hero always gets the girl.

I am some what in agreement with Phillip on this one. Never thought I'd say that.

People had a ship in between the Tarsus and Centurion? :eek:

The first time I heard about the C# scripting language I was in a book store with a friend, just browsing. I see this programming book and I say aloud "Do I say that C sharp, C hash or C pound?" The staff started laughing :eek: If you ever manage to work anything out Needaham, post it, if its...

I totally agree, no body in their right mind wants Saddam around. I don't think even the poeple who protest against going to war want Saddam around. But Bush is pulling reasons out of his ass to start a war with Iraq and that's just dangerous.

Cool Needaham :D For you phone hating people out there. Get a phone, tell all your phone loving friends! But leave your phone off! Pisses off quite a few!

There is an article that recently appeared in Time I believe that nicely out lines all the things the CIA got up to other than Intelligence Gathering. Despite their name they did not just gather intelligence.
