So there's hydrogen isotopes in there like tritium and there's absolutely nothing else because it's inside a vacuum with magnets around it. They fuze those together and um...what does the charcoal have to adsorb or otherwise capture? Doesn't it fuse into like helium or something? First of all, that's a harmless gas, not a harmful liquid or solid and secondly, it doesn't need to be captured and stored by a carbon filter material because it's not toxic. They sure aren't fusing hydrogen into lead of something that would actually need to be captured instead of shot out of a coolant smokestack, right?
well okay, fat people play DDR and Wii games and as long as they don't have a heart attack, things turn out pretty good actually. Their cardio totally improves! So I don't think a little physical impacting or shaking will harm the somewhat unhealthy. What I'm worried about is all the realistic full HD images, surround sound, and now a vest that basically shakes you giving people PTSD after playing Call of Duty. It's getting awfully real and for all your body knows, it's in a real battle situation and that's not good for your health or your nervous system.
I'm no engineer but I don't think the US would allow electronics to be sold where the circuitboard is made out of something flammable like paper. That's an unbelievably stupid idea!
Well obviously all she has to do is make up a freestyle rap remix of each song and sing that instead and she might get away with it. I'd like to see someone at my grocery store bagging groceries while singing a rap or techno/happy hardcore remix of a They Might be Giants song:P
They should integrate google maps too! Well okay, it's Microsoft so they won't but I think they have their own satellite photo collection map thing. Anyway, you could go through real, actual locations and real mountains and woods and stuff. That'd be awesome!
Well I had no idea our sun generated a massive magnetic field. Okay, I have a theory that's going to blow your freaking minds! This story plus the magnetic current story and other recent magnetism stories here have made me wonder...is the magnetic field from the sun screwing with the magnetic field on Earth inside the bermuda triangle and causing compasses to mess up and all that? Or perhaps whatever is causing this ribbon, assuming it's an outside source, is getting through and hitting earth in the bermuda triangle. It could be some odd particle interaction that we know nothing about yet but disrupts magnetic fields. I hope they look into this!
You know what else is doing great are south korean and Japanese games like Maplestory and Silkroad Online. SRO is totally cheap though, they sell an item in their paid store that gives you double exp on everything at all times. It's like $14 a month. They also sell completely for show items like special wearables and pet monkeys and stuff. The "pay money and outlevel everyone at twice the speed" system is soooo mean and unfair if you ask most people but don't get me wrong, IT WORKS!! Definitely a functional business model. Maplestory, last I checked, survives on almost entirely for-show items that don't actually do anything and somehow they're making millions too.
So you can funnel in 100% of photons with it. You still have to convert them to electricty somehow so really it's just a really good light focuser for solar panels. The funny thing is, there are already solar panel focusers or light amplifiers or concentrators or whatever they're called that, by area, can do like 3:1 and if this black hole is a square foot of total surface area, it gets a square foot of light at 1:1 and that's it. You'd actually need to attach a mirror or lense focuser to funnel light into the black hole.
yeah I'm actually developing the opposite. It's a device that detects when a company switches from Redhat to Microsoft servers and automatically dumps their stocks:-P
runescape blocks all urls, some names of IM programs, some names of websites, all swear words, all possible variations of swear words including the use on nønstándárd characters, and all lewd language. It's pretty damn impossible to say anything M rated in that game. I guess they'd get a better rating than Silkroad Online aka swear your ass off online.
And furthermore, slashdot can post a story explaining why what is happening is happening, if that's what's happening, without the post (or poster) magically disappearing from existence so that also proves it lol.
Although, I like this theory better simply because it makes sense. I read through lots of particle physics articles on wikipedia and I don't think I learned one single thing lol. I don't get any of that crap and I'm supposed to be smart or something lol. Now particles screwing with fate, that I get!
How do you test if the CPU is bad? Umm...maybe the fact that it won't boot and you can listen to the POST beep codes maybe? Duh. And if it doesn't beep, use a probe card. That's what I do. It displays a 2-3 digit hex value on a little display after you put it in an empty PCI slot. It tells you via the code what part of the POST it's stalled at if it isn't booting. Like if it's FF, it's usually the CPU or power and if it's 41 that's usually the BIOS or a motherboard problem if I recall (for Award BIOS at least)
As for testing other parts that will at least let it boot if it's broken, I boot into a CD of BartPE or Ubunutu Live CD and see what hardware is listed as not working. Between those and the probe card I can diagnose a broken anything.
Oh wait, there's one more little hurdle they have to cross to prove earth's water came from asteroids. It'd take about a million asteroids to bring 1% of the water we have right now. I don't think 10 mile long chunks of ice have enough water to fill a 10,000 mile like area let alone make any remotely important addition to even the smallest seas.
I have a different, much more sensible theory: Hydrogen lit on fire.
Are you insane? The last thing they want to do is put a bunch of these small batteries or a big one in one place. If a terrorist orders 1000 or 10,000 of these tiny batteries then guess what, a few days of disassembly means they've got enough radiactive material for a dirty pipe bomb. I don't know what type of material they're using inside it but it must have an awfully short half life because it has to emit radiation not like once every 70 years, more like 1 every second or less probably. If it was longer, it wouldn't provide steady power.
How stupid are these "scientists?" Bad parenting = a bad diet AND future criminal. Those are two parallel effects of the same known and totally obvious cause and have nothing to do with each other.
Btw if you combine those two stats, you'll notice that there's only like a 30% increase in daily candy consumption between the criminals and non-criminals. That's awfully small! Also, combine the stats further and notice that around 50% of all british children apparently ate candy daily. Or at least I think that's what the result is given those two stats they gave.
I kinda figured that because I don't know the physics of this too well but if it were really large, dense particles it wouldn't be able to hold them in an orbit that far away from the planet, right? So it has to be really tiny particles and not a lot of them or they'd just go flying off into space. Now if it sound they found a "ring" of 50 decent sized moons floating around that distance away, that would be shocking!
A Tale of Time city is the best for so many reasons, I won't even bother to list them all right now. It was not only my favorite sci fi book as a kid but it was my favorite book period!
This is yet another "sci fi" show that's just a soap opera that happens to take place in space. The people behind the show said it themselves, they're trying to make it into a show that's more interesting to everyone, not just sci fi geeks. They're lowing the sci fi content and focusing on inter-character relationships and drama. Just looking at the future previews in the commercials, it's obvious it's going to be like Battlestar Galactica x 100 when it comes to over the top drama and it's going to have a hell of a lot lower sci fi content. They might as well have named it Dawson's Creek in space or The Hills in space because that's what it is.
Get a bunch of old comps with an ad in the paper or hit up Goodwill or a recycler and take all the ram and hard drives and optical drives and stuff out and then put them in a big arrangement. Then have the course members put together the old Pentium 3 and celeron and maybe p4 systems. Have them find the best working hard drive they can find in the pile and as much compatible ram as possible and install Ubuntu on them and then get them up and running and surfing the web and playing Chromium and stuff. Then let them take the systems home:) I do that just for fun and it's totally educational and green and pro-recycling and all that stuff.
I say good luck with that to simply putting CS4 on a freaking netbook! That's completely insane! My 3 GB of ram and AMD 2.2 GHz X2 can run CS3 proficiently but some little underpowered, single core piece of crap isn't going to do it for me. That's like running it on a 1.0GHz celeron M single core.
But back to the topic, yeah calling anything unhackable means they might as well ship them with a big bullseye painted on the lid.
The most proper solution legally and socially would logically be to cut fat people off from all health related government benefits. I'm sure that would go over just as well. Instead of this roundabout, greedy, inaccurate targetting of the foods that cause people to be fat in order to make it too expensive for them to be fat, they could just say if your BMI is ____, you're off medicare and medicaid and insurance companies can legally drop you. That would be extremely fair in that my health insurance premiums would probably be cut in half after all those fat asses are cut out. It wouldn't punish people who have some cake and a soda occassionally and it would achieve their supposed end goal of motivating people to not be so fat.
That would really be amazing if they found water, since I'm pretty sure they either found ice or steam. Water would be amazing and we'd have to rewrite the laws of physics.

Probably as soon as he tries to steal broadband lol. That or if he changes his name to Osama Bin Hackin.

I hope the message they send out is "you're an idiot if you believe the crap they're sending you." That's all the warning most people need.

I prefer to express it even simpler as "about the same odds of an alien overlord named Apophis attacking Earth."
