    I'm not rich and I really hate to wait ... I do it because I can't afford the alternative but I still hate it ... rich people are different because they have money ... that's all.

  5. Re:sky should be the limit... on Tesla Model S Gets Titanium Underbody Shield, Aluminum Deflector Plates · · Score: 1

    Sorry to burst your bubble ... Diamonds aren't "tough" either. A good example of "tough" is an anvil. Toughness is a measure of the ability to survive harsh treatment.

    by sparks ... ? well ... gasoline, dry grass, tinder, ... oh wait ... there wouldn't be any of those in the middle of the road would there ?

    c'mon ... be reasonable. If a gas powered car was grinding it's steel frame down the concrete, it'd be spitting sparks too. (along with a very real chance of rupturing its fuel tank and burning or even exploding ... )

  17. Re:Modern civilization? on Will Electric Cars and Solar Power Make Gasoline and Utilities Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    I think it's fair to say that "modern" civilization pretty much began with the industrial revolution ...calling anything before that, "modern", is silly.

    I have never heard that one before ... but it nicely encapsulates the correct sentiment. Well Done !!

  21. Re:Not enough, on Alan Turing Pardoned · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No. A pardon implies nothing of the sort. He pleaded guilty to a criminal charge. The only way to reverse that under the law is a Pardon. Whether or not homosexuality actually constitutes Gross Indecency (it doesn't btw) or even if Gross Indecency should be a criminal act is another matter entirely.

    Cite proof of "reality" please.

  23. Re:FSVO "about" on Two Supermassive Black Holes About To Embrace · · Score: 1

    It may "in reality" have happened 3.8b years ago

    then wouldn't it be more correct to say that we're about to witness an event that probably happened about 3.8 billion years ago rather than suggesting the event is about to happen 3.8 billion light years away? Since that is the reality of the situation ?

  24. Only in this reference frame.... on Two Supermassive Black Holes About To Embrace · · Score: 1
