They use ships and ships like these to recondition and resurface beaches everywhere. Check out Dubai's Palm Islands, or all of Dubai for that matter, or Sarasota Key in Florida. All have pretty white sand... sucked up from 10 miles out and shipped in.

Will someone explain to me the point of foursquare? I'm no internetz noob, but i can not brain haz foursquare?

Have it click into the position of the trackpad, and have it be the trackpad! Similar to a macbook!

"where it can be studied—and mined—"... I want to be an asteroid miner! Damn you China!

I, like others, must interject. Nowhere in the above post did the author show any sort of elitism. Evolution is fact, its not even science, its simple logic. Change occurs over generations, this happens in math, life, evolution, etc etc.

Anyone smarter than I, please give me some information.

This seems to be a patent of a process rather than of the coating itself, interesting. PVD basically embeds the coating into the screen in between the existing molecules of the screen, rather than the old method of basically painting the coating on.

The Krupp Family is ridiculously interesting... steel, guns, trains, elevators, art, and MORE. If you ride a couple different elevators today, check em out, I bet one is a ThyssenKrupp Elevator.

It really goes to promulgate that context and the details can often imply and mean a lot more than the content of the photo. This photo is pretty much just a photo until you annotate it with " Shot in Alley, 1926, with Leica 1 35mm".

They have many various heights. 8' is pretty standard, but 9+' would be best for insulation and finishing. I've seen 20l' x 8w' x 9h' for 2000$ These are best for cabin type situations, mostly because a flatbed tow truck can simply hookup to one and haul it away in moments. My family and I have a two story, 30 x 8 x 9…

How about the fact that, like Elton, he's still standing.

Just a hose head. Fire fighters have quite a few. This one is used to save water in a sense by dousing the area while maximizing the water droplets surface area... saves water. Not like they can just hook up to a hydrant. Stellar photo though.

Great review btw...

I'm pretty sure these numbers mean very little. It's not as though MZ walks into a bank to take out a few grand, and sees a balance of $18,304,405,005.34 His net worth is entirely dependent on the value of his holdings in Facebook and elsewhere. If the stock value of Facebook took a dive, then his "net worth" would as…

I don't necessarily think there should be a filter process, All someone would have to do is fake their name and I don't think these sites are going to start requiring social security numbers.

I think that the media and marketing of our current generation has instituted the notion of a "launch" as some sort of prognostication of eminence and ascendancy. This is especially so in the technology sectors and partitions of industries like clothing, electronics, vehicles, and so forth. Also, no this is not the…

"we want to make America awesome again. Let's all build an AT-AT from the Empire Strikes Back."

As an engineer, this makes me happy. There are tons of mile+ height blueprints out there, but no one has the motivation ( * money * ) to build them. Finally, a true giant. This thing will move like crazy, I bet in a decent wind the top of the tower is almost 20 feet offline of the base.

Why is it that every news station and media outlet seems to overlook that last time Japan was showered with radiation... twice. You know sometime in the 1940's... And as such, why has no comparison been drawn to the radiation dangers? Is there a significant difference between U-235 radiation and Iodine radiation? Or…

This is atrocious and disgusting. I hope this guy gets stuck in the "sodomites" cell block... soldier, gamer, whatever... HUMAN is what matters most, and he failed at being that. I'd like to find out what prison he gets sent to and send some mail to the inmates describing how fucked up this guy is... He almost took a…
