Found this gem reading further: " They proved to be mildly effective against the V-1 flying bomb, which usually flew at 2,000 feet (600 m) or lower but had wire-cutters on its wings to counter balloons. 231 V-1s are officially claimed to have been destroyed by balloons." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B...

Something I didn't realize is how many freaking V-1's were set off.

I read a book of that nature. I can't remember it's name, but the jets were flying over his house due to a new airport, so he floated Barrage balloon above his place.
It was a fairly decent book but he'd most likely be shoot in this age. - They downed the balloon with the after burners of a jet.

-A barrage balloon, sometimes called a "blimp," is a large balloon tethered with metal cables, used to defend against aircraft attack by damaging the aircraft on collision with the cables, or at least making the attacker's approach more difficult.

One can report someone for shining a laser pointer, they are arrested but not convicted -as they didn't shine it at a plane, in fact at the time no planes were in the air.
Profit (just a bit of your time)

Don't think Wikipedia is going to get their citation... does seem odd a black hole first then a supernova.

If their combined mass exceeds the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit then the two will collapse into a black hole, resulting in a supernova that disperses the outer layers of the star. Otherwise, the two will coalesce into a single neutron star.[citation needed] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T...–ytkow_object

Just a basic HOSTS file works unless your just out to complain.

Brightstar's way of doing things should be included. http://www.erowid.org/archive/... was a link from one posted.

Good stuff (the articles).

Aren't they all scripting languages anymore

" you have to blow the whistle” upon encountering wrongdoing, noting that in the past it was seen as an option."

It was around 1988 or late 80's when Blond joke started in my area and group (BBS'ers), there are some great jokes that vein.

Trying to answer your question I came across this gem:

"The researchers found that the blond-haired applicant was rated as significantly less capable than her brunette doppelganger. In addition, participants designated the female applicant’s starting salary as significantly lower when she was depicted as a blonde than when she was shown with brown hair." (sic) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...

(Kyle, D.J.; Mahler, H.I. (1996), "The effects of hair color and cosmetic use on perceptions of a female's ability", Psychology of Women Quarterly 20 (3): 447–455) go figure.

Where Blue eyes and Blond hair originated.

The subject itself is a troll gimme, as is the best answer in the link https://answers.yahoo.com/ques...

Having Blond hair and Blue eyes I traced their evolution long ago, Scandinavia was the origin; for a fast post the link was the first hit.

Wonder Woman! lol, it's made it back to TV (MeTV) I just won't watch it. I remember reading the comics, the invisible jet, the lasso of truth, and the bracelets did something.

Now your turn, my vintage comics are Donald Duck, the best works were by Carl Barks who was both writer and illustrator. The new stuff is junk so I just stick to Carl Barks era comics, which I have almost all.

jones_supa has a point, I should start scanning what I've got. That's a lot of work for me though, scanning one page at a time. :}
