  1. Re:Yeah but.... 1/4 the price alternative on Bugatti's Latest Veyron, Most Ridiculous Car on the Planet? · · Score: 3, Funny

    But they are quite good at coming up with ridiculous car analogies. Also I might as well mention that I would be willing to cut off a testicle in exchange for a Veyron.

    So she went to a tattoo parlor where she admits that she new the artist couldn't understand her. Choose to get the tattoos anyways, fell asleep during it and now wants to complain that she didn't get what she wanted?!? Fuck off!!

    Well arguably that would either make you a non living entity or at least brain damaged given that the entire point of life since day 1 has been to spread your genetic material around as much as you can.

    Well as it just so happens most lightning is ground to cloud or cloud to cloud with very little cloud to ground.

    My nerdiness goes up to 11 by the way.

  9. Re:Points for creativity on 14-Year-Old Boy Smote By Meteorite · · Score: 1

    It was sarcasm, at least the part about Mach 10 being a "reasonable" speed, I was trying to illustrate the point that before entering the atmosphere objects in space are typically traveling at ludicrously fast speeds and upon reaching the upper atmosphere decelerate very quickly to a much lower speed in comparison but still obscenely fast. Of course this deceleration continues through it's descent till it reaches terminal velocity but not quite so quickly and therefore not quite so impressively.

    Is that your expert opinion?

  11. Re:Points for creativity on 14-Year-Old Boy Smote By Meteorite · · Score: 1

    Absolutly, meteorites get nice and fiery hot in the upper atmosphere while they deaccelerate by several orders of magnitude to a more reasonable velocity (say Mach 10) just like every other object that man sends up into space. You don`t see the space shuttle as a glowing ball of flame when it touches down, you see it as that when it`s still a couple hundred km up and going far faster then you can comprehend.

    You haven't had any money for the past few decades (Not too sure when the debt actually started, not being an American and all) that $11 Trillion USD of debt didn't show up over night. It's just that now it's starting to catch up to you.

    Got it? No? Oh well then let me tell you. It's because you're not supposed to disable it... ever.... at all... under any circumstance.
    The computer is designed to let you push the plane to the limits of it's safe operational envelope and no further. In the very unlikely case that the computer/hardware faults it will automatically switch itself to a series of fallbacks all the way to the closest you can reasonably get to a manual direct link control and it will inform the pilot that it has done so. Believe me these systems are designed by large teams of engineers who have studies this far more then you, I or just about anybody else on Slashdot and they do not fuck around.

    A GOS receiver is as the title imples a receiving only device it does not transmit any data to the GPS satelite or anywhere else for that matter, therefore an increase in the number of GPS receivers certainly does not place any additional load on the GPS satellites.

    I've always thought power to be the MOST important aspect of any long term space flight, as long as you have suffficent energy all the other problems pretty much solve themselves so long as you don't lose any mass. Food becomes a non issue so long as you keep tight control of the population and recycle everything (again with the don't lose mass) air scrubbers can break down CO2 back into good clean oxygen (and who wants an inanimate carbon rod for christmas? I sure do.) water can be filtered, Hydrogen can be gathered from the interstellar medium to use as a reactant in engines. You can even use Nuclear Chemistry to produce any elements you might need, not recommended though since it still would be VERY demanding on you energy supply.

    So what, we're supposed to suddenly supposed to treat the geek squad as a talented group of well meaning computer experts rather then the talentless, lying, salesmen shills that they are becasue a few good people get lumped in with the rest of the crap? Tough fucking shit buddy, you work for a crappy company which employs crappy people and I'm not sorry at all that you get lumped in with the rest of them. Furthermore judging by your choice of wording and how forcibly you tried to defend yourself I'm bettign that you aren't nearly the hot shit that you think you are and really are deserving of all the connotations that comes with the dorky yellow shirt that you wear. I used to work as an installer in a Canadian Tire garage and in case you don't happen to live in Canada, Canadian Tire is the Best Buy of the automotive world and you know what I did good work and so did most of the other mechanics in the garage, we didn't even have the cavalier attitude towards mistakes that you seem to have. Unfortunately our garage was the exception to the norm where most Canadian Tire garages did very poor work and I had absolutely no fantasies about the very well deserved image the rest of Canada had of our garages and I knew exactly what to expect when I said that I worked for Canadian Tire. In short get off that high horse you seem to have gotten yourself on and take an honest look at yourself and the company you work for.
