...sound pressure levels, but these would be dangerous to youngins especially.
Anyone that is exposed to this would be very likely to recover monetary damages for hearing loss. Class action, perhaps?

...i had originally said three, forgetting the transmission at the top, then forgot to change the numbe when i added it.r.
In rural areas, there is a fourth strand, called the "static line" to bleed static charges from the ground to reduce lightning attacks. Some electric companies have special static lines made with several strands of fiber at the core.
re ground floor, we tend to even the count in taller buildings by omitting the 13th floor.
have a pint on me!
...there are three levels of cable on each pole:
top: High Voltage transmission, one wire if single phase, three if three phase.
next: local 220/120 for delivery to users.
then: telephone company messenger wire, and supported cables.
bottom: Cable company messenger wire. When COX put fiber into my house, they hung the fiber cable on the same messenger wire.
Although we would all prefer utilities underground for esthetic reasons, adding another level to existing phone/electric poles could be a real winner for Virgin.
Internet and beer, a match made in heaven.
...call. It was the owner of vegas.com Threatening to do the nasty with my company because we registered A1-vegas.com.
They seemed to think the word Vegas was their IP. Although I disagreed, all I could do was back down, I had enough ready cash to defend myself in court for about 3 minutes.
All i could do was hide behind a couple 211s.
...nail.
Anyone that has played with wood. No i mean in like shop class. Anyhoo, wood is the Silly Putty of construction materials. Bendy and forgiving of slow loads, yet unyielding to sudden impact.
A screw pushes the fibers aside, creating splits. A nail breaks and crushes the fibers, essentially drilling its own pilot hole. Starting a screw with a hammer blow, yeah our shop teacher included that.
At least they made cheap furniture out of wood back in those days. Now its all pressboard and suchlike.
...points to the lack of sun, and the negative effects of sunlight, the persistance of blonde and red haired genes also points to positive selection for increased vitamin D production in low light environments.
Although in the USA we get vitamin D through drinking milk, i continue to prefer 211.
...ANU(s) BI(ghter)S.
Americans will spend millions if it lets "our boys" take out enemies at low risk. Anybody have an estimate of what these suckers will cost?
Sit back, have a dubb^H^H^H^Hbeer and twitch your joystick. The Army already offers free video game downloads, ANUBIS simulators would be relatively easy to program, providing a pre-trained corps of missle sniper experts.
Picture a million PFYs snug in their cellar apartments, logging in to the 2 or three million missles a day launch ready or hanging out on station over the bad guys.
Of course you still need some grunts or robots to haul in the missles.
And we better be real friendly with the chinese, since they are the only country that can builds this stuff cheap enough to deploy.
211 cause it gives the enemy a sporting chance. hmm... there's a movie in there somewhere.
...to Old Wive's Tales, they wouldn't have lived to be old wives. The Jews were envied by other cultures because they were healthier.
Same misfortune befell witches, who, by making soap (thats what's in the big kettle) and practing other healthy habits, avoided the common pestulances of the day.
It's impossible to ignore a pox, but beer helps you tolerate it.
...meat, let's not forget the whale oil.
The last time i bought whale oil, it was $250 per ounce.
Of course that was a hella long time ago, when it was the only approved lubricant for the spring motor of a BOLEX H-16 or H-16R 16MM camera.
Since that time, the precision lubrication functions of whale oil have been taken over by the oil of a desert plant known a jojoba, which retails for £50 a liter.
At the peak of the whaling industry, whale oil was $1200 a barrel, but was replaced by petrolium pumped from the ground.
These days I stick to getting lubricated with 211.
...PCP.
This points out the dangers of illegal feelgood stuff.
When Booze was illegal, it was not uncommon to find various contaminants in your bootleg. Much of the worlds cannabis supplyv is pretty umpure, even in the newly legalized pot states, one might find buds with rockwool or fertilizer salts in addition to the desired components.
I'll stick to beer, thanks, though 211 tastes like it was brewed in an old car radiator.
...Yahoo! is chasing the new ideas of others, rather than building on it's strengths.
In my experience, Yahoo! has the best live text chatting environment, yet it is poorly policed, and badly organized.
They have a powerful VOIP service that noone ever heard of.
They have clueless admins that ban legit users, yet allow hackers, booters, and spambots free rein. My single banning from there made me feel obligated to warn people to NEVER trust Yahoo of anything mission critical (i managed to lose many business contacts because i was stupid enough to think my friend list was "permanent."
I still use Yahoo, but only after a few 211's.
...rocks.
Might have to interface my doggie to make a computer that meets the needs.
My dog uses aboit 25 watts! a human uses 150 watts... This is well known as it is a calculation used in the Air Conditioning industry.
They never sent me the million bucks for solving the Eschelon problem, so ill just shut up now.
and drink a 211 while i wait for the money.
When I built the first wireless network in my neighborhood, how i wished for an aerostat of some sort to get line of sight in tree filled towns. As I have often ranted, geographically routed self forming mesh networks can deliver unlimited bandwidth to any node.
During the early formation of these networks, the community would benefit from a few overhead nodes. Once a tipping point is reached in deployment, the fleet could be moved to a new terretory.
Come on, Google, Mesh Networking is the future, buy a bunch of these planes and get a good start on our future.
...made the search engines useless for news. As pointed out in elReg, scareware and peckerpill purveyers choose headlines and use black hat SEO to grab the top spots for many news stories.
Be sure to lubricate grenade thoroughly to prevent discomfort when inserting in spammer.
...that cascade (torrent) distribution has been given such a bad name by the freetards. It is still a great way for content owners to serve mass market releases.
If i were building set top boxes, i would include some sort of store/forward scheme.
But i'll just have another beer instead.
...is back up. Holy Shaaaamolians, Batman, theres over 3,000 artists on there!
I like the social connection that "believers" must feel with their artist.
If it were cellphones, each artist would be a picocell, in some creative mesh.
If i were Sellaband i woud REQUIRE a video. homemade is just fine, the draw of this site is the connection!
211 because i connect.
...track (Cry Hard) has a flute solo on it, so it's obviously ripped off from some 1935 folk song. </joke>
The Sellaband website says that the service will continue under new ownership and: "What is extremely important to [Johan Vosmeijer, former CEO Sellaband] is that the new company, called SellaBand GmbH and to be operated out of Munich in Germany, will respect our commitments towards Believers and also to those artists who are currently recording their SellaBand album, and/or are about to release their music. " Only time will tell.
Mandyleigh Storm is talented, the songs are great, the album is well recorded, she obviously has a fan base... so what went wrong? IMHO: 1. The record industry itself is broken. 2. Mandy's genre has a very narrow appeal. 3. There was no promotion.
Since this is an OZ story, the beer should be a Fosters, but all i can afford (i received a grand total of $1000 for "my" 10 million selling record) is 211.
...of NETFLIX, i punched up WALL-E and watched it right away.
It was an enjoyable little film that i would have missed. Of course the real problem in Space is the opposite, bone loss. A secondary problem with bone loss on the ISS was that all that calcium ended up clogging the urine recycler.
Thanks elReg, i would never have watched the movie without the article.
...for killing people: "The Devil made me do it."
At the top of the list: "God made me do it."
Humans seem to have a need for a diety, it's the unanswered questions that make us lie awake at night. Before science, God was all we had. So a person that can show us the way to God commands extreme power over groups of humans, large or small.
No one sect, race, or country has a monopoly on religeous evil. From witch burning to tower toppling, it's the desire by corrupt humans to hold this power that is the true killer.
211 is NOT the blood of Christ, it tastes like the piss of toads, but it stills the unanswered questions. Without translation form the Latin.
...start thinking about a back net. Not a VPN pipe through the Internet, but alternate information channels.
Plain Old Tephone Service, over the air TV, Some envelopes and stamps. If you are a giant corporation, some private channels.
Expect every terrorist show to be accompanied by packet crippling nasties.
I'll survive it as long as the 211 truck makes it to my market.
...had lots of these over the years.
According to TV news, one key opened a large segment of the local gas pumps, so the skimmers were hidden completely inside.
Get to know your ATM, If it's suddenly a little fatter around the slot, or the rug has suddenly stopped matching the curtains, it's best to part friends. In las vegas the advice is never pay at the pump.
...Mimicing the ray's, or a bat's neural system's, changes in air density are, basically, sound, and plenty of data exists as to neural networking of the choclea of the bat into the visual areas of the brain.
...MIT already designed the chip:

i found it will looking at another DARPA request. heres elREG story http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/02/16/darpa_echelon_request/
Im more or less with you on the weak electric field approach, but would love to spend money duplicating the function mapping the neural outputs of the ampullae of Lorenzini. I bet God^H^H^Hnature wired it to the visual areas, then used the same trick for the bats.
Of course DARPA could solve the electromagnetic signal to noise issue by ordering all TV and Radio stations (Etc.) off the air while a search is in progress.
The signal to noise in an air pressure environment presents the same challenge as Eschelon, and massively parallel resonant receptors sould solve it in the same way. Not sure your frequencies of interest, there may be challenges to building resonant receptors at very low frequencies.
The ultimate handheld, would have sensors in three media, electromagnetic, air pressure, and visual. Hence the name... Tricorder.
Beer because it helps me stop thinking of...
