The "private property" thing only goes so far, given that California courts (at least) have upheld the rights of protesters in shopping malls. As the park is presented to the public for free public use, there's a good chance that a court would side with the protesters - especially if the private landowner doesn't file

The LFP constructed as presented certainly is a 2D image, I was merely expressing the idea of using a staged set of these (as many deep as you want z-axis resolution) to provide 3D.

Have you seen the projector-on-laminar-flow imaging? [hackaday.com]

It's my understanding that all wedding rings are rings of power, at least as far as "and in the darkness, bind them" goes.

Mind if I tweak that from "the other sex" to "someone else", full stop?

Virgin Mobile is owned by Sprint, so it's the same speeds and area from what I can tell. $80 for a dongle, $10/month for 100MB, $20/month for $500MB, $50/month for unlimited (3G to 2.5GB, slow over that.)

If it's red and blue lights in your rear-view once you've passed, that's half clever.

I have one of those, $2 from Radio Shack. Google for "11-in-1 multi-tool card" for a zillion. Apparently wholesale they're $31 for 30 of them.

My little "cheat" for NaNoWriMo is to just /start/ the novel... make an outline and describe the characters in basic terms, maybe write some scenes while waiting at the doctor's office. Ask your wife to help; Not only do you have an ideal second point of view and someone to give you unpredictable dialogue options, but

It's called Halloween. The day the veil between this world and the spirits is thinnest, then, etc...

I don't know if that's what they were called or not, but you seem to have put a lot more thought into the biomechanical origins of Cybertronian life than average. Without kidding, have you considered writing an article on the subject for IO9? Get your by-line.

Well, there's this one theory...

Nivenus explains it better, I think, but I'd just say that everything on Cybertron is mechanical in nature, including the non-Transformer life. I vaguely seem to recall from the comics that they had mechanical microscopic lifeforms similar to bacteria that weren't nanites.

Ages ago, someone planted a couple Century Plants in my backyard. They've survived well over a decade outdoors in the Midwestern US, where several months out of the year they're frozen solid. I've mowed over these things on accident before and they spring right back up.

You know, that creature makes a couple appearances in the newest Transformers movie. It's basically a mecha-Cthonian.

And some of us use both and think they all suck in their own way.

The same argument works for every OS, if you're going to go to the trouble of downloading and installing random things you find on the Internet.

Just added, btw, in case you're wondering who the new weirdo is.

Ideas, if you don't mind input:
