  1. Re:All these planets are yours on Pluto Probe Snaps Jupiter Pictures · · Score: 2, Informative

    That only applies after 2010.

  2. There is no universe on Is the Universe a Hall of Mirrors? · · Score: 1

    The "universe" is just a set of restrictions on your perception.

  4. Re:Which makes it more expensive on Why Do Gadgets Break? · · Score: 1

    I hear they mixed the remains of those old Trabants through the asphalt on the german autobahn. They were made from a very nasty plastic. Not much else you could do to recycle them. I had 2 BX-es and now a Xantia Turbo Diesel. All nice cars. The Xantia is the most reliable of the lot. I gues I must be addicted to that air suspension.

    I think you mean another model.
    The BX first came out in 1982 and was actually quite reliable comfortable car especially the models after 1985.
    There was no handcrank. That you only find on the 2cv and Dyane.

    Mine always started, used about 400cc oil every 10.000km
    No rust whatsoever after 14 years and 350.000km of service

    Even if the microwaves don't heat the planet directly, you are going to use this energy to power lights, computers etc. 100% of the energy used by these devices is converted into heat and therefore contributing to global heating.

    Euh yeah, microwaving the earth to prevent global heating.. Good idea!
