You a Total Immersion aficionado? I always think of that method when people talk about smooth swimming.

'Cepting for one little detail. Wolf packs (and other predators) generally respect territories. They don't seek to "wipe each other out" even under pressure (basic misperception of "survival of the fittest". Under pressure, they are looking to fit in, with the competition that may engender.) Overpopulation drives…

We used to do this in McDonald's after coming out of 2 weeks of Tom Brown Jr's course in the Pine Barons. The ability to move slowly was a result of that work. People usually freaked.

Yer right! They could start messing with the 4 fundamental laws of plumbing!

Unfortunately, at least initially, they are going to unite in unemployment because of the fundamentalist ideology that drives most decision making processes these days; both ups and downs.

Silver Nitrate for infections, etc. Why not on cookware?

Maximum Entertainment Value and Efficiency are sometimes at odds with one another.

What the feeding fish are thinking: "Just give a little inhale, and it's lunch time!"

That cheese you see? It must be Klitty Litter.

Ya know, they give you an anti-tip bracket with every standalone stove/oven. It grabs the back foot and doesn't let it lift.

Random guy in background: "Look, Martha, we got another one. We gotta do something with all those 'Bump Ahead' signs, though."

Well, searing is the science of sealing in flavor into meat. That requires higher heat. You usually want to sear initially, and then cook after that. Which is why I place the meat on the grill at sterilization temperatures, and then immediately reduce heat to cook.

Or else their market perception hasn't been clouded [sic] over which obscures the fact that people simply aren't ready [yet] to value a non, or less, tangible asset scheme. "You can have the disk drive of my stuff when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers." comes to mind.

Yeah - memories of connecting to alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.bestiality.hamster.duct-tape in the 70's. Wait, am I showing my age? Sorry.

I think you have that right - it's an apples and oranges analysis because the two companies are fundamentally structurally different in their operations. They get to the same so-called place of "selling a pc" in really different ways. I don't consider the numbers to be anything more than a curiosity.

Suspect so. Like flour that isn't flammable until it's dispersed in air at the correct density, the surface area area of the carbon looks like it's hugely enhanced to do the filtering (at a guess).

Agreed. And the killer app isn't going to be some new productivity or social networking tool, it'll be the middleware layer that enables real authentication from my, the user's, perspective. Solve that one, and social networking, commerce, etc. all get 100 times more fun. It would even allow my agent to go to do…

Back in the days of Control Data in Minneapolis, we got into some cube warfare with rubber bands that eventually resulted in upper management action it was so pervasive.

Which is almost always preceded by the words, "Hey Y'all, watch this!"

Customer here wanted to put a house on a ridge that sloped off to either side. The driveway had to support the 70,000 lbs firetruck, so they put in a retaining wall to hold it under that load (maybe 12' above slope max.) Cost to homeowner? $650,000. The better part of valor may be to move the house to another lot…
