Given the number of times I played some of my LPs, would have been good to have had a no-contact stylus.
That would be awesome! Maybe you could use a laser to read the music data off the spinning disk. I guess instead of grooves, you could encode the music with little 'dots' to represent... oh, never mind...
And what about the manufacturing "price" of those heavy metal batteries? What impact does that have on the environment? What about the disposal of those heavy metal batteries? My guess is that some child in china is going to have cancer from those things just like they get it now from our electronics waste.
Interestingly Weiss's article damning the Tesla includes the carbon 'cost' of battery production, but interestingly omits the carbon 'cost' of building a petrol engine.
He also includes the carbon 'cost' of electricity production, but omits the carbon 'cost' of petrol production.
"According to a 2000 report from the MIT Energy Lab, gasoline production accounts for 19 percent of the total lifetime CO2 emissions of a typical car. Actually driving the car accounts for about 75 percent of its lifetime carbon output.
Thus the carbon footprint of fuel production adds about 25 percent to a gas car's nominal CO2 emissions number."
Does anyone know why schizophrenia svoices always seem to try and cause harm? Why don't the voices tell you to clean your house, volunteer for something, build a house, do something good?
NSA builds coal-fired generator on site and arranges to have coal brought in by rail...
Oh please - this is NSA. The scenario will probably go something more like this: [RING] NSA: Hello Governor Herbert? Herbert: Yes? NSA: This is the NSA. We were just wondering if your lovely wife Jeanette, or children Shannon, Heather, Bradley, Kimberli, Daniel and Nathan knew about the passionate email you sent to your ex-girlfriend Suzanne in December 14th, 2011. Herbert: Whaaaaa..? NSA:...Or about the nude pictures you sent to the woman 'Jenni' you met online in February of this year? Herbert: But, I never... NSA: Now, about this energy tax...
You can drive from Beaumont, Texas to Los Angeles and by the time you're halfway there, you're still in Texas.
This doesn't mean anything. You could say that New Mexico is bigger than Texas by saying, "You can drive from Farmington, New Mexico to Odessa, Texas and by the time you're halfway there, you're still in New Mexico."
Do the shocks get stronger in relation to the amount lost?
No, you're missing the point. The shocks are not a 'punishment' for losing.
Have you ever played with a force-feedback joystick or racing wheel? The stick/wheel pushes against your hand to simulate the force of the wind/turbulence/road/turning force.
What this system is trying to do (although it looks pretty primitive, he's just ripped open one of those commercial muscle stimulator) is use the force of your own muscle to create the same opposing force that the motor/servo in a force-feedback device would generate.
Unfortunately, the video editing focused on the host being randomly shocked, which implies the punishment idea.
I've never really understood why they call it the second hand when it's really the third hand if you ask me.
You too? Also: Why do they call it the 'minute' hand - when it's the biggest hand? And, why do they call it 'our' hand, when it is really a hand on 'my' watch?

How does the recipient get the message, if it's so thoroughly erased?
Ahhh... what message?
Nope. There's not much more sensitivity anything can have compared to a human eye...
(Shhhhh. Nobody tell him about night vision optics.)
Teach them how to break up blocks of text with the [ENTER] key.

If they put the tattoo on the BACK of your hand it could display pr0n while the palm is... ah... busy.

The voices always tell me what to do...
Turn right - 400 yards.
Merge onto the freeway ahead.
Exit freeway ahead - Exit number 102
Prepare to turn left.
30hz should be enough for anybody...
People can discern up to 60 FPS (Hz) which is why Trumbull chose 60 FPS for Showscan.
Can you give us names/links to the "at least 3 or 4 decent video editors that are free...
You can get "Lightworks"
http://www.lwks.com/
Completely free (no watermark) - and used on films like "Pulp Fiction," "Hugo," "King's Speech," "Jerry Maguire," etc.
A favorite of Thelma Schoonmaker.
And it only costs $7.55
No, it's $120,000 - $140,000USD, depending on options.

I heard you talking sweetly to the ottoman. I thought you were on your cellphone, but then I saw the bluetooth earpiece on the kitchen counter.
Fess up!

Yeah.. the kitchen counter asked if it could make a booty call to the lawn chair.
But if we legalize kangaroo marriage, people will be marrying their furniture!
We don't want that now, do we?

That ottoman LIES! That stain is from leather polish.
Context is everything. Beaumont is in the middle of the country (East-West) and L.A. is on the coast.
You're right about context...
Beaumont is on the Eastern-most edge of Texas and L.A. is at the Southern end of a tall, but narrow, state.

The question really is, why are there so many kangaroos in Austria?

Because kangaroo marriage is STILL illegal in the USA.

Frankly I'm surprised that the NSA guys didn't see this one coming.
The NSA only reads e-mails you DON'T send to them.
When I go outside - I prefer J.S. Bach's St. Matthew Passion [BWV 244] from 1727

This happened in Sarah Palin land if it had happened in Obama's hood it would have involved busting a cap in the teacha's ass.
Was there a lot of "cap in the ass busting" on the Kalanianaole Highway in Honolulu?

Hmmm.

ugh.. the WW1 ship was the FIFTH ship to bear the name.
The 1855 HMS Cockchafer was a wooden screw.
Which explains the name.
I've never really understood why they call it the second hand when it's really the third hand if you ask me.
You too?
Also:
Why do they call it the 'minute' hand - when it's the biggest hand?
And, why do they call it 'our' hand, when it is really a hand on 'my' watch?
But sure they got a Streisand effect here...
Yes, but it's called the 'Maurice Chevalier' effect.
Without Spike and the lads, there wouldn't even be Pythons.
