You can sell firearms across state lines just fine --- the transaction just has to take place at an FFL in the state-of-residence of the purchaser and be legal in the destination state.
They were made of exceptionally high-quality paper and took fountain pen ink wonderfully --- I've exhausted my supply (which I use for note-taking) and am still looking for a (reasonably-priced) replacement.
``Pascal as defined was not suitable for large projects...''
Unless of course, one is Dr. Donald Knuth, then one creates a brand new programming paradigm: http://www.literateprogramming...
and writes programs such as TeX: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archiv...
Somewhere, I have a copy of the Oberon language manual printed out --- it's quite cool, and very concise.
There is a sensor (movement or IR I think) which allows it to determine that a house is occupied so that it can determine when to turn down the thermostat.
Pretty soon all criminals, insurgents, terrorists and revolutionaries will find themselves practicing the same sort of precautions people used to use to protect themselves against ``witchcraft'':
- not allowing any hair (or skin cells) to be taken by another
- not allowing any instance of bleeding to stain anywhere someone else might have access to it
- not allowing their picture to be taken, lest it steal their soul
And can puzzle out all the magic combinations to make it work --- thus far I've managed to get my ThinkPad X61 Tablet:
- booting OS X 10.6.8
- sleeping on demand and waking when the lid is opened
- keyboard and Trackpoint work
The one thing which isn't working is getting the Wacom stylus to work using TabletMagic (I have one of the stupid hybrid models which also has rudimentary touch input) --- I can see it as WACF008, and I've even got it allowing itself to be activated, but it won't allow the pen input to work.
The Japanese government actually contracts for the production of certain handmade saw blades which couldn't be sold profitably so as to ensure that the skills for producing the saws will be taught and passed down to succeeding generations of saw makers.
How perfect --- the quote of the day:
Order and simplification are the first steps toward mastery of a subject -- the actual enemy is the unknown. -- Thomas Mann
I wrote up the instructions for assembling the Shapeoko (an open source / hardware CNC machine) and a recurring theme on the forums is people suggesting that such-and-such a hint / suggestion should be added to the text instructions --- and said text was already there:
http://docs.shapeoko.com/zaxis...
I did make the diagrams interactive, which at least cut eliminated the complaints that ``there are supposed to be 2 of part X in assembly Y, but only 1 is shown'':
The problem w/ DSL is that it has a limited reach --- I tried to get it, but it wouldn't work (and Verizon doesn't have a good mechanism for handling that and rolling one over to FIOS) 'cause, while I was w/in reach physically, electronically the connection wasn't good enough --- so one has a limited potential market.
Because of course, no iPhone, MacBook or iPad ever connects to a website which has its database running on a mainframe.
Do baluns cost that much at Radio Shack? Ouch.
God no. Why make even more noise pollution?
Instead:
1) Drivers should walk around a vehicle before getting in and verify the condition of the vehicle and that it will be safe to move it
2) Drivers should back up slowly and carefully using their mirrors and should not drive vehicles which they're not competent to handle.
You could just buy the new Goldie Blox which are marketed to that demographic:
When they get older, buy them Technics Lego brick sets
Try OpenSCAD --- it's 3D modelling for programmers and there've already been a fair number of car parts designed in it.
