The states around the Great Lakes have made an agreement of some sort where none of the Great Lakes water can be sent out for use away from the states directly around the lakes. So I don't think the exact example you gave would happen very soon.

That's nothing. The new VW bug needs a specially designed screw driver to remove a panel under the hood so you can get at the headlights. It is a dealer replacement job and not made so you can do it yourself.

I don't think that is true at all. I put MessagEase keyboard on my Android phone a while ago. They have a training game that you can get also. By the time you have played the game for 10 minutes you are faster than you are on a qwerty keyboard. It is grid of only 9 main keys. Touching a key enters that letter, but sliding your finger from that key in towards the middle does a different letter. Punctuation is on there as slides in other directions and you can even enable number entry without switching to the number keyboard by drawing a circle that starts on the correct key. The keys end up being much larger and you only need 9 locations to learn.

I heard the story on NPR where a highschool kid gets a crush on a new girl. The girl asks him to get her some drugs. He isn't a dealer, nor does he even do drugs, but he talks to some people and is able to get her some where he gets busted for his reward. http://www.alternet.org/story/...

It doesn't sound like an isolated incident either. http://www.opposingviews.com/i...

A Reuleaux triangle shaped manhole will also be impossible for it to fall into the hole. I think there are other reasons besides just the safety aspect of it that makes most of them round. And not all of them are round either.

Oh, the fools! If only they'd built it with 6,001 hulls! When will they learn?

They took over a half an hour to show up. How much time waste would a phone call be?

You would still need to buy the $5 bottle of water to add to your powder. I bet the markup on the bottles of water is even bigger than they have on the alcohol that they sell.

I have never signed up for Facebook. I can count of the fingers of one hand with some fingers missing the number of times I have had someone say anything about me not having a Facebook account. I have seen online groups, where they have their own site nonetheless, where some of the members make meeting preparations or discussions on Facebook. I find this to be bizarre and completely rude to others. Why not keep your discussions on the site that was made for those discussions. If I want to communicate with people, I will use email or text messaging, or even a phone call. But then again, I don't want to broadcast my life to a bunch of strangers, so I must be weird and suspicious! I do have a Linked In account as that serves a different purpose. It allows me to keep track of work contacts for future use. Facebook has no use to me though and I will not get an account there.

The receptacle might be able to handle it, but my back and knees sure won't handle all that bending over to reach the plug. I guess we need every outlet to be switched at arm height so we can actually turn our stuff off.

I find the price difference for storing more than just images to be pretty steep. Wouldn't it save money to use stenography to store your files inside of some images so you could get around their stupid rule? You could even up the amount of data storage inside the image since you don't really care if the image looks good afterwords. Just have the file name and structure of an image would work even though it looks like static or something. Then you run them through a program that extracts all the files and if needed puts them back together like a multi-part rar file or something.

Actually that video does show the switch being lifted when moved to the other positions. It is hard to catch the switch being lifted, but at 2:20 when they are unlocking the door, you can clearly see the switch shaft lowering back down after being lifted and moved. You can also see the notch in the switch body where the switch shaft locks into place when not raised.

As I watched further I do see at 3:05 they moved it to the locked position without raising it, so there you are correct.

There are plenty of things we can't observe directly. We don't see ultraviolet light even though other creatures can.

Now imagine a 3d object leaving the 3d "surface" he lives on and flipping himself over (like a 2d object could be flipped). He would be able to escape from a locked chest, and his appendix would be on the wrong side! I think we have discovered how Houdini did his tricks!

Sure, you can believe they were talking about surrendering. But they attacked Pearl Harbor during talks of surrender also. I'm not so sure I would put much stake into what they say. And they also had the plans and exercises going for every civilian to mount violent resistance with pitchforks and whatever else they could muster.
