  1. Re:Not well thought out on Obayashi To Build Space Elevator By 2050 · · Score: 1

    I won't disagree but to be fair the reason CNT cost so much is there isn't a real demand for them in such massive quantities.

    I got a better idea, don't read it. It ruins space combat for you.

    I'd also advise using a brita filter or something, then again I have the most ridiculous hard water in my apartment. I sponge down my bathroom walls every month to get rid of the yellow streaks.

    Several is a bit of an understatement. Wolfram is saying 981KM, then again that is all acceleration taking place on the rail, and you aren't just using the rail as a "first stage"

    You're wrong, it wasn't 250,000 it was 500,000 Purple Hearts manufactured.

    No offence, but is there any good reason to use domain name shorteners when posting links in forums / blogs?

    Is linking to Goat.se (sp?) not a good reason?

    Ok, but you could have done a better job at clarifying that in your original post, because I've seen that wording before and it means blame darky

    I'm willing to bet we've known about that we just didn't have the materials that could actually do it though.

    So what you are saying is when I set up truecrypt I should set up a keyfile, then when asked turn over the keyfile and keep the password for myself?

  14. Re:How stupid on Teens Share Passwords As a Form of Intimacy · · Score: 0

    Maybe it was in a broker account and the only reason there was a mortgage was because they were making more money off the money in the broker account than the interest was costing them?

    9.5 tons of tungsten traveling at mach 10 will hurt a lot. If my math is right looks like the air force want to deliver 49.57 gigajoules strikes on targets. I love wolfram alpha.

  19. Re:Two words: backward compatibility on PS4: What Sony Should and Shouldn't Do · · Score: 1

    That's only if you want perfect emulation, if you want good enough then it won't require much. Take bsnes vs ZSNES. BSNES is all about accuracy and it requires a C2D, while ZSNES just tries to get games working requires a P2. BSNES runs all games as intended, and ZSNES runs overwhelming majority almost perfectly, most of the flaws aren't noticeable unless you know what to look for, and then there are a few games that just don't work.

  25. Re:And yet more evidence that Iraq was a huge mist on Iran Tests Naval Cruise Missile During War Games · · Score: 2

    It makes perfect sense, you are forgetting one very important fact, Iran. Iran and Iraq had a very nasty war. Iraq removed their weapons as required but then made every effort to make it look like they were hiding something. How many times did Iraq let the inspectors into the country and then made the inspectors wait outside of a facility for 8 hours or so and/or just kick them out of the country all together?

    The weapons were gone because the consequences would have been grave if the inspectors ever found them, every effort was made to make it look like they were hiding something to keep Iran at bay.
