Flying by instruments (only) has been around a long time. This is an enhancement of that - but an expensive one?

A close friend in selling an above ground crypt. New, not used, (smile)! Its in a mausoleum, so its not portable. I have never been to ebay. Is ebay an appropriate and viable venue in which to auction off this crypt? Advice? Thank you all. -elana

Prevention is important, as well. maybe we might reduce the shock and awe of warfare?

Nice diversion. Thank you. Hope it educates folks about scams...

Amen to cats, knowledge, and connecting. Our wisdom and compassion has not increased as quickly as our toolmaking expertise. Sad.

With the morning after pill now sanctioned by the US gov't as a form of abortion (at the employers say so); I expect such procedures as mentioned in this thread to attract a great deal of protest, litigation, and just plain old angst. After all, my sacred text, and my god are totally right, I'm totally righteous, and every other holy book, and follower of any other faith is just plain (at best) wrong. They might even be doing evil! Such attitudes permeate and pollu

A destop tha can easily be morphed into a win 7 formant. Hate, hate, button being moved, changed, dialog boxes changing, and menus revamped. OH, did I mention I hate relearning the basic use of the desktop cause MS shuffles all the elements around?

one wrong answer, never dealt with selective service issues. simple test.

I'm currently away visiting out of state (out of mind?) friends. Will return home sept 6/7th. Don't have access to coupons, etc., here. Will check on coupons/ etc. asap upon returning to home base. :)

Thank you Doc, I'm just starting with my nikon d3200, and the info is very helpful. :)

A part of me has died as well. He and I are same age, and we both struggle with chronic depression. He was very intelligent - so the 'ignorance is bliss' effect did not dull his sense of how nasty this world can be. Laughter is great medicine for this. He became an expert. But in solitude, the depression gets you bad. He had it bad. RIP Robin Williams, I will miss you, badly.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="2218" id="3485492"] CO2 has gone from 3 parts per 10,000 to 4 parts per 10,000 in the last 75 years or so. At the same time, the world mean temperature has gone up about 0.5 degrees. That is, basically, the whole argument in a nut shell. How much of that temperature change is the result of the CO2 increase. Personally, I'll start caring the moment the people yelling about it start *acting* like they care. <

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="12" id="3485314"] How about you give it a command to build a better and more efficient computer? The problem is that it WILL. Nowhere in that will be the command 'You must obey humans'...which may or may not be a great idea. Perhaps what really is needed is "The Three Laws of Robotics" (a.k.a. Asimov's Laws): A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a h
