What about the other pings? What angle did they come from? What degree of uncertainty is there in the receiving phased array on the bird?
My current hypothesis is that they fly south easterly to Sri Lanka and then skirted the west coast of India and landed in coastal Iran. My (primitive) calculations say that's possible. If the last ping was heard at approx 40 from the Inmarsat located at 25 E, that would place them in the area of southern Iran, which supports my hypothesis from last week which was based solely on the distance they could fly.
DC stops the phasing errors due to the >24,000 mile line length to encircle the earth. ABB is developing switch mode power supplies to buck and boost to the 500kV range, so we don't need transformers to buck/boost voltage, so we don't need AC power.
Shockingly, recently release stats say that by the age of 25, 40% of men will have been arrested. Could it have anything to do with us continuing to pass more and more laws which in turn make ordinary citizens into criminals? Naww....
There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted—and you create a nation of law-breakers—and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.
I've often thought about that.... we have 3 major desert areas on earth... each about 120 apart... The American southwest, Australian outback and the Sahara. If we built a solar station on each of these three deserts, at any time, two would be producing power. A DC intercontinental power grid and we'd solve our energy problems.
It is not the cop's responsibility to help the guy. Of course they can on their personal time, but not on the clock. What about where the food he guy stole came from? He's denied me the sale or use of that food. Honestly with so many government programs, he could get help, and if he hasn't then the police arresting him would cause his kids to be placed in foster care where they will be fed. Problem solved. I don't like his kids being taken from him, but face it, he wasn't able to provide for them and at least in that regard, they are better off.
I would love to mod you up on this.... the police are not acting in the best interest of the public by not serving such warrants. You mean to tell me that for 9 years they couldn't find her??? They're not trying very hard.
So, my car won't allow me to get closer than 2 seconds behind the car in front of me. Great. Now what happens when a car wizzed by and cuts in front of me. Does my car suddenly jam on brakes and cause an accident behind me?
We have fiber in our neighborhood and in each house is a power supply that charges a battery in the box on the side of the house. Last year, two neighbors lost their phone/internet/cable about 2 days after a big lightning strike. The strike took out their power supply and the batteries lasted two days. Suprising to them, but really not that bad.
My neighbor bought a Ford truck in 1997. It came with an alarm system. He haggled the price down and said he didn't want to pay for an alarm system. They took the truck around to the service bay and disabled it with a code reader device. Talk about someone being upset.... the idea that it was there installed in the truck and Ford had rather install the parts by default and then disable it infuriated him.
See, that's what you think.... an ordinary person looks at the headline and thinks it's terrible so many people are that bad off. The government is free to define the poverty line where it wishes. It can also redefine the program to include more people (usually a politician buying a block of votes). How often have you seen a program go into effect only to later be expanded and redefined down the road when the public forgets the original intent?
The truth is not all of those people need the welfare. But most will say if it's free it's for me!
We do provide breakfast at school to all students. Sumter, Richland and Kershaw counties that I know of, I'm sure there's more. And we provide free lunches. And in the summer time we open the cafeteria (not the school mind you) and feed the kids. Hey, this is great, but there's a flaw in it. We're already paying the parents with SNAP benefits. So we pay to feed the kids twice. But if you talk about cutting SNAP benefits, they always chime in about starving kids. No one points out the redundancy in the system.
My dear man, we have all the money we can print... until the Chinese call in their bonds and the Germans demand their gold back from Ft Knox. At that point we're screwed... and we are presently past the point of no return. Why it would be political suicide for either party to admit this to us, so they keep kicking the can down the road.
I think there was an article on the interwebs about Ford developing a sensor that could differentiate between a deer and something else at it's max range. Snicker... of course it's the device's max range... any further and it wouldn't differentiate. duh....
A blockbuster movie? Space, cowboys, roughnecks, scenes of things blowing up, impending doom saved at the last minute and a guy who doesn't make it home and leaves behind a beautiful girl. Oh and crazy Russians. Perfect formula.
A blockbuster song? repeating lyrics which drone on and a drum machine. The public just seems to love it this way!
The dollar changer at work has given dollar coins for years.... but the vending machines wouldn't accept them. I called the vendor several times explaining why I could not buy a $1.35 coke with the 4 dollar coins and 4 quarters I got when changing a $5. Finally after several years, they changed all the coin boxes and we have no problems now. My only issue is I have to be careful not to confuse them with quarters, but it's really not hard.
Way back in WW2, there were wage caps and companies started offering health insurance as an unpaid benefit. So the government did push employers into offering it. After ww2, Blue Cross and Blue Shield was founded in 1947 or 48. Still, not all employers offered the perk. In 1973, Nixon institued wage caps and required large companies to offer health insurance. Again, government in the mix.... and in 2009, the ACA requires all companies with more than 50 employees to provide insurance. Government again.....
and the long term plan is to undermine the insurance companies and make them go under. Once they are not in business, we will have a single payer system. But you could have never sold the American public on single payer from the start.
Bingo.... when I buy gas and pay at the pump, I *always* use credit option. If a skimmer got my PIN code I'm on the hook for all charges. With a credit card, the skimmer can still nab me, but I'm not on the hook. Funny thing is, if someone stole my wallet, they'd have the zip code that the CC auth wants. Not secure at all.

Midgets and Oompahloompahs report and elevators smell differently to them than other people.

Amen brother... I wish I had mod points for you today. Amazing how we pick and choose crimes that make you a perpetual felon.

We simply couldn't allow the racing stripe. Remember Ted Kennedy saying the offshore wind turbines were an eyesore?

The missing percentage is Windows ME... but they can't keep it running long enough to phone home and report to their database.

They should also avoid unobtanium. Not even available in China, only available on Pandora.
Despite what the people say about the french, they did lop off the head of their king who improved the design of the guillotine. That's heavy duty!

This is an excellent point.... I have the skills to drive, but the next generation won't. Never thought of that!
