I was looking at some of the 'choke points' for maritime traffic and noticed that I can see all the tankers lining up to and from the Suez Canal in the Mediterranean - can't see any traffic to or from the Red Sea. Heck - can't see anything til The Gulf of Oman. (I discovered this site just in case you want to know what's up with your order from China). They have even turned off the webcams for both the Suez and Panama Canals. Those darned pirates.

Here is the ship traffic map that I was playing around with.

Wow, look at all the ships trying to get through the Gates of Hercules!
1100 ships trying to get through the English Channel.

Here are a couple links to memory finders:

I hope this helps

I have been out in the country w/o a corkscrew - we broke the top off and poured the wine through a handkerchief. That would have been much more elegant.

But have you seen this link?

Here is how the French handle the situation - I have heard about this method of opening a wine bottle; in fact I tried it but did not have the necessary persistence.

Doesn't anyone else think that was a truly amazing way to open a bottle of wine.

The owner of the Titanic said that "nothing could sink this ship, not even God"..... So what can you expect? In the Bible it says that "no man shall mock God" and its proven.

WTF? Are you saying that god sunk the Titanic?

The owners of the Titanic never said that the ship was unsinkable - that newspaper hype. Where in the bible is your "no man shall mock god? quote? So you are suggesting that god killed all those passengers because what the newspapers said?

Fortunately, it is an Urban Legend - Big Pharma does not give a shite what you eat, they only care about what drugs you take. chrishea do you have any links or data to back up what you are saying or are you blowing smoke? Just stating that random factoids does not support your argument. Yes, they have huge budgets; yes, they can buy people off; but that is not evidence of anything.

Do you have a point?

I am just going to assume it is another hysterical bit of internet retardia. Go here to the original site, look around, then come back with an apology or something of interest. Or look at what the Urban Legends site has to say.

I did not even bother to clicky-click the links because it just sounds hysterical.

The Oasis Of The Sea is 5 times larger than the Titanic and 3 times larger than QE2.

Here is how the French handle the situation - I have heard about this method of opening a wine bottle; in fact I tried it but did not have the necessary persistence.

A from will not quietly sit in a pot of water while it rises from room temp to boiling - it will try to escape as soon as it begins to get too hot.

King George III was one of the most insane kings in English history.

It came and went - he suffered from porphyria - he suffered from 5 bouts of it. So it goes.

We will all be watching with you!

Don't forget the speciation that will occur as the flora and fauna are separated and the biosystems change (this is what to do while waiting for the geomorphology to works its magic).

While we are on the topic of Win7 - I just ran across this hack - er, app

I remember vaguely hearing about this when it happened but now that more data is in I am just amazed. I can't wait - I plan on watching this develop over the next few centuries.

Here is a good image of where it is forming in the Rift Valley:

Oh, lord help me! I finally made it to page 87 and now I am free, free to dress as i please.

Depending on what you are referencing, the easiest answer is that as hardware gets better/faster/cheaper, software is written to work on what is current so newer software will run up against limits on older hardware.

Another answer is that you might have some vulnerabilities that is allowing malware to get onto your system and suddenly your system is so busy dealing with those demands and there are fewer resources available to do what you normally do.

Have you checked for resource conflicts? It seems that if you are banging the hardware a lot and get re-boots, that might be a place to start.

Can you let us know what your hardware set up is?
How about your OS?

There is free music out there, which is legal. You just have to do the donkey work and find it.

We will not be pointing you at sources of illegal music downloads however.

d'Oh! I immediately assumed piracy forgetting that there are free downloads available everywhere - must be my jaded outlook.

I just ran across this article so what's a guy to do?

Ah - I get it, you do not have to live by the rules you want others to live by. You are special; by the power of your posting crap you are saving more starving people than mere money could ever help.

Of course I will respond - there is nothing in your post that puts forward any support for your position. You posit 3 statement and assume by the mere statement of them as fact, it will be accepted as truth.

Fact: YOU have been dumbed down by schools , media, and everyone else.

Just using the word 'fact' does not make it a fact and using your unproven statement as proof of your statement is not even good circular logic. These 2 points seem to support my hypothesis that you have been dumbed down.

Fact: YOU are clueless.

You have missed all the points I have tried to make leaving this one pretty self-referential.

Fact: WE are killing ourselves.

This one does not even make any sense - you offer no reference point.

You posit 3 opinions as facts but offer no support or even any relevance of them to the original intent of your post.

Now, let's get to the topic at hand:
Yes, I have seen starving kids - whether or not I have seen starving kids has no correlation to whether or not I 'take water for granted'. stating I take tap water for granted is an 'ad hominem' attack …

The bleach could not reach my brain through my eyes - I could not stop clicking. Please, I beg you do not click! It has been 2 hours, my eyes are empty pools, yet I still click next

search on youtube - the OP is months old.

It does not help that they have to stop the game so many times to run commercials to support the cost of broadcast rights that the NFL charges.

Im gonna take this thread in a slightly different direction and talk about the first game I made. It was a version of "Rock, Paper, Scissors" using javascript. Just a simple school assignment for my web programming class a couple of years ago. I'd like to hear the first game made by the rest of the community members.

I wrote a game of go-moku in 1978.

Coffee - need another mug already!

google is your friend
We on the other hand do not actively advocate piracy; nor do we offer advice on how to break the law.

Tuna is at the top of the food chain and probably contains the most mercury per pound of any edible species.

I agree with you! It is of no use funding multi million dollar projects researching on such topics while hunger is real in some parts of the world especially Kenya where I come from.

I disagree with you! There is no way to transfer the money you are complaining about to the projects you want.

There are a number of causes for starvation, death, disease, and all the ills of the world. Just getting food to a starving person will not solve the underlying problems which include war, corruption, political malfeasance, greed, climate change, overpopulation, just to name a few.

If you have suggestions on how to overcome the many obstacles to change, please enter the fray. Get a job that will put you in position to help others but do not expect others to do what you will not.

Railing against science in the name of railing against the problems of the poor does nothing but waste everyone's energy.

More bullshit, what does it really matter?

A new Missing Link has been found. If what they say
is true then all that I have been taught by be anthropology
teacher and alike has been bUllShit. Its all crap. What does it really
matter if we "come" from moneys or sasquatch , turtles or whatever?

I swear all this crap is making me sick. Instead of spending millions
of dollars on trying to find dried up bones that have no use, we
could be helping people like this :

Er, what a load of crap.
Just because you are unable to understand the scientific process and the joy of knowledge for knowledge's sake does not make it 'bullshit'. I am sorry that you do not have the creativity or imagination to understand that not everyone thinks the way you do or are driven by goals different from yours. The scientific process contains within itself the processes necessary to change and adapt to new realities. When new data comes in and it disagrees with current theories, then then the theories are modified to include the new data (this is not done easily nor lightly and there are hard fought 'intellectual' battles over the meaning and consequences of new data).

'Ardie' is not a 'missing link' and may not even be on the same branch of evolution as Homo Sap. Sap.; what she does is move the bipedalism trait back about a …

You still have not defined spanking or smacking - smacking sounds like a slap to the face? When I was younger, I met a single father who would flick his finger at the inside of his son's wrist; it stung for a second, it got his attention, and there was no possibility of causing actual physical damage.

Define spanking.
Define corporeal punishment.

What some call spanking others call abuse (is spanking with the hand okay? how about with a belt? a paddle? a martinet?).

Is it okay to draw blood?
Is bruising okay?
How about scarring?

Just saying "spanking is okay" leaves too much room for 'parental discretion'.

In our growth from a embryo to adult, the genetic sequencer is the same for insects, fish, as for us.

Really - bummer about those exploits and worms on your site - I think you will disappear shortly.

There is a proggy that does that - it comes with windows. Can't for the life of me remember what it is called but it tests your system file and reports on corrupted and/or missing files

I will poke around and see if I can trigger my memory. It is late and I have to hit the sack - if you don't have an answer when I get back, I will look around.

A 14 foot white shark was bitten nearly in half by a larger shark (nudee-tails).

I ran across this - looks like Moore's Law is good for another couple generations at least and we will probably fill all those empty disks pretty quickly.

The only Rugby references generally found in the US is "Rugby players have leather balls", 'reporter scrum" (but this one goes over most heads), and something about Rugby players use their hands or something.

Did you see this?

I just chose kathykuo@sbcglo to show you a place to look. I started here

This is what happens when hamthrax kills us all.

Serious threat but still we need a sense of humor about it all.

Good news - Blen Geck and his family will not submit to the communist plot to infect his family so they will not get a pigfluenza shot. Is this the lifeguard's whistle "idiots out of the gene pool"?

Tuporkulosis vaccines are in short supply so the rightwingnuts might be accidentally behaving in an altruistic manner?

Okay, I have run out of H1N1 puns that I like.

Hmmm - Calvin said it best

I used to play it quit a lot - we had game nights that included Diplomacy, Risk, Emperor of China, and many that no one here heard of (and I can't remember). Speaking of drinking games - we drank so many different kinds of booze you would not believe; we smoked pot - sometimes we played high on acid (now those were really colorful games!).

The 70s were a well mis-spent decade.

Both the Brits and Aussies abbreviate/nickname everything -
Brizzie for Brisbane, jack for john, meg for margarite, Oz for australia

It is so darned cute.

When im bored I go on Daniweb ,of course!

I am with you on this one!! Sometimes, I do a drive-by on some rightwing nutjob site and poke them a bit.

I have a cat to entertain; now that I have my garlic in for the season, that pretty much wraps up gardening for me.

I have come to believe that disk space is like freeways - they fill to capacity shortly after you get them. This might add to storage needed. I remember buying a 20 meg (for $750 for my Amiga) and thinking it would satisfy my needs for years.

You are right that it is hard to imagine the need for a $150 1 terabyte hard drive but some research into halographic imaging will probably increase the storage needed by some pretty large factors.

Just think about full sensory input vacation pictures of the future!!

There is nothing quite as satisfying as gently closing the book after finishing the story :)

Or tossing a really terrible book against the wall!

Still read real books, just not as often; back before computers I could read a couple books a week - now it takes a couple weeks to read a book.

How about or or,

When I ponder, I like guitar music

Don't forget about your: stoned kangaroos, baby eating dingos, colorful euphemisms, and those funny looking AUGs.

It's always weird what a country has its name associated with, over the years. Canadians are stoned hippie liberals, Americans are right-wing obese hillbillies, Mexicans are poor and have magical abilities to destroy America over night. Wow, the way things work! lol

Ooh! I want to play too:
The Brits have bad teeth,

I grew up in the Rockies. I do not understand the point of this post and/or the pictures. What are the chances that any broke down vehicle anywhere had this happen? 100% if it did and 0% if it didn't. Events in isolation mean nothing 'statistically'. It is a terrible thing to have happened but a 'meaningless' event otherwise.
