Why would anybody suggest a 256 mile x 256 mile catchment area when you still have to transport the electricity?
Make them waterproof and use them as roof tiles! That'll save on electrical cables as well!
I'm still amazed that people subscribe to the idea of "winning" a war. It's like the idea of a husband "winning" in domestic violence, except on a much much larger scale.
"I won 'cause I only got a couple of scratches on my arm but the missus has two black eyes. That'll learn her. I don't care if she brings her pussy friends 'long, I'll just smack them 'round as well."
Sounds much the same as:
"We won 'cause we're killing 3,000 a month of them and the're only killing 350 a month of us. That'll learn 'em. We don't care if they bring their pussy towel head friends 'long, we'll just nuke their cunt-ry to glass."
Lets just lay them on the table and get a tape measure out!
You're right, you cannot rely on sail power if you have a tight schedules. But that doesn't mean you can't take advantage of the savings it gives you. If the wind is blowing the right way, use it and save gas.
And they could also try the little dimples on the hulls of the ships (like on golf balls).
just like Coca Cola makes sure no one finds out about the "secret formula".
Coca Cola Recipe
Ingredients
1 oz. Citrate Caffein
3 oz. Citric Acid
1 oz. Ext. Vanilla
1 Qt. Lime Juice
2 1/2 oz. Flavoring
30 lbs. Sugar
4 oz. F.E. Coco
Caramel sufficient
2 1/2 gal. Water
I have never seen a cop taser someone. I've never seen a gun used to threaten someone. The only time I have even been stopped and asked for ID is when I was driving too fast. When I take my family out at night, we feel safe. I do not feel threatened by people because of the colour of their skin or the clothing that they wear. I regularly go for walks alone in the evening to get some air and when I come across people I have never met, we exchange greetings and continue on our way without fear. I use libraries without having to show identification. When I am at home, my front door is not locked. I do not own a gun. If I screamed for help, my neighbours would come to help. If my neighbours screamed for help, I would go to help them. A policeman lives several houses down the street, reciently he took one of the neighbours children for a spin around the block in his policecar with sirens and lights flashing, because it was his birthday.
I live in Auckland, New Zealand - the land of the free.
I was under the impression that Einstein thought this was bollocks as well. But regardless, lets try this another way:
There are two twins (Fred and Bruce) who always blink at the same time no matter how far apart they are. Fred walks the short side of a city block, while Bruce walks the other three sides.
It takes Fred 1 minute to do the trip and Bruce 3 minutes. When Fred finishes his walk, I poke him in the eye causing him to blink. Bruce also blinks, because they're twins and twins do this. Two minutes after Fred turns up, Bruce turns up with a sore eye.
I fail to see how this proves something went back in time...
It says "...The test will involve sending one of the photons down 10 miles of fiber optic cable, delaying it by 50 microseconds..."
So the photon takes 50 microseconds to get to the end of the fiber optic cable. Who cares, when the "magic signal" is sent from one photon to the other they'll still exist in the same time. One will just be part way down a fiber optic cable.
...but I'm sure Apple will do a good job of it.
Phone technology at the moment is a pain in the butt. Most of us have a home phone, a mobile and a work phone not to mention skype/voip. Why can't these all be the same thing?
I'd like a phone that figures out the best way to contact someone and calls the correct number. I'd like a phone that:
when I'm at home rings if someone dials in on my home number
when I'm at work rings if someone dials in on my work number
if I have voip and the person I'm after it does too, call using that
I really don't cary about being to take photos. I own a camera that is vastly better than my phone camera.
I'm hoping Apple will shake the tree a bit with a new phone concept. I'm unimpressed with most of the phones at the moment because they really only offer new ways for TelCos to take money off me.
If the guy who runs the only bar in town asked me if I voted for him, I'd say "yes" regardless of who I voted for.
It's a bit like when you Grandma asks if you like her fruitcake*. You just say "yes".
*actually, my Grandmothers are all good cooks so this is a bad example!
If I GPL a new "chord" and people create music using that chord then if they release it to someone they'd have to include the source code (sheet music) and the music would also fall under the GPL.
Shame all the good chords are taken...:(
Take the fun job. You're asking the question because your heart is in conflict with brain. Follow your heart.
Nobody ever lay on their death bed and said "I wish I'd taken a job I didn't enjoy instead of having all that fun!"

TradeMe is the New Zealand equivilent of eBay (the UI doesn't suck though)
