Put a motor, with a small propeller on a long shaft that crosses the controller. Run motor. The lose shaft will cavitate.
When someone tries to sue, show them prior art. It's called "propeller cavitation" and has been a known occurrance since the invention of propeller driven ships and airplanes.;)
Please, give me one good reason "and it's the law is not a good reason" why we should respect copyright's anymore?
The copyright holders no longer respect the copyrights. We the people granted them a short term exclusive right to profit by said work. (Thoughts and ideas can NOT be owned.)
Now, the people never get to enjoy them....screw'em!
Yes....I've reached the point where I believe that assasination of Senator Orin Hatch would be in the benefit of the people.
I am a Republican conservative and I believe that Senator Orin Hatch is a danger to the people of the United States of America.
However, I do still believe we have alternatives and I do not believer in murder. But I believe it is reching the point where we need to bring a national platform against Senator Hatch to ensure he is not re-elected.
I think God is more creative than that, I wouldn't doubt it if the universe was a mobius. So that the far end we see to our left is actually connected to our right.
Example, why so few will even consider the possibility that C might be slowing down. Science seldom likes change. It's fought most all "new paradigms" (earth revolving around the sun, relativity, etc)
There has been some question, with a small but growing group of scientists who believe that C may in fact be slowing down. And possibly has been doing so on a declining exponential curve.
I find that if such were true, it'd also resolve the question of the uniformity of heat mentioned as an earlier problem.
Yup....and you scare the CRAP out of fire fighters because you're riding a bomb.
Several gallons of gasoline, tons of battery energy....now what are your odds of being in a serious accident and NOT having those batteries spark the gasoline?
According to the numerous stickers I'm supposed to be paranoid the radio wave to my cell phone might spark the gasoline fumes (not a shred of evidence for that) but it's restricted and sticked all over the place. Now tell me why such is a danger but several gallons combined with a few hundred amps is nothing to worry about?
May the good Lord please keep me from ever being in an accident with a hybrid....car bomb.
yup, there is energy loss by transmitting electricity from power plant to hundreds of miles away to charge your car.
the truth, we need the following (total pollution output statistics) and (total energy per work performed statistics) without those the point is rather moot.
No, just fossil petroleum, petroleum alternatives and gasoline can be made from vegetative matter. It's just economics that make it infeasible at this time.
Now yours si the first brilliant idea I've heard for for a game console.
4 wireless controllers WiFi link Built in projector
You could walk into a warehouse, paint the walls white (or a church...most walls are white in churches). And setup a dozen units in moments. And have everyone playing.
If Microsoft was smart, they design the Xbox2 with a n area to pop-in an upgrade. Keep it hidden and secret. So that after two years you can "PLuS" your Xbox 2 with a dual-core and new GPU.
Not by a longshot. None of the integrated devices hold a candle to the quality and capabilities of any of the standalone products. If i go on a holiday, I don't want to come back with 25 seconds of 160x100 video and a few pictures not fit to print on stamps. The smallest lense for my cameras is larger than my current cellphone.
[[[Now let me ask you this, how much would you pay for a modular system in which your cell phone could be popped into your 10-megapixel SLR camera and used to wireless upload your photos to your 200gig drive in your home PC? And record GPS position, date, time, etc. ]]]
Sometimes the unit should not be put into the phone, I think it'd be awesome if the phone could be put into the unit too...;)
Funny, I can disable WiFi in my laptop. Even cell phone reception in my phone. And with a hard drive they can have many more settings. Outgoing only mode, emergency incoming only, etc.
Your camcorder - No, I'd rather enjoy my vacation than sit around recording it. [[[Guess you don't realize that some people have children. And they like to record the joy of their children at Disney World. I don't have children, but I understand such.]]]
MP3 player - No, that is an entertainment device. If you go on a vacation and have to bring something with you to keep you busy, you picked the wrong vacation. [[[Guess you've never flown for 6 hours from NY to LA, or longer to Europe or Asia. I guess you've never wanted to pop on a little classical music to help filter out the drone of the jet engines so you can nap.]]]
digital camera - See above [[[really, wow...I went to San Diego and got some great pictures of seals, and other unique experiences. Also, was able to take pictures of childhood memories to show friends back home.]]]
PDA - See above [[[Goodness, it's so nice to have my address book in my phone. Call friends when I'm in the neighborhood. Not only that, I put the hotel, car rental and several restaurant and museum addresses and phone numbers in it.]]]
Personal video player - See above Personal tv - See above [[[Long flight, no theatre on this plane...sure glad I brought my own.]]]
Cellphone - Unless the call was important or was outgoing for an emergency, my voice mail would probably say something like "I do not want to talk to you. I am on vacation. In closing, go away." [[[Hey, gone for two weeks - want to check up on our daughter. Hey, need ot make that reservation for dinner tonight. Forgot to do it at the hotel. Sure glad I've got my cell phone.]]]
And blast it, add the fricken GPS...cause those map directions are always wrong.
This doesn't even count for many business men and women who travel often and need several of these features. Yes, even the camera. Guess it's nice to send a picture of video to the kids or wife saying "I love you, and look what I got little Johnny"
*grin*
Don't want it - fine...but please STFU! Thank You!
PVR cable box (if Dishnetwork)....or maybe similar manufacturer might have the same problem mine has.
Looked at the plug. It's a two - prong plug. Now you have a hard drive, tons of static and no ground. The unit is periodically short-circuiting itself. Dumb...
Example: I recently released a CD for a friend's band. Cost was about $1,500 for a 1,000 CDs...shipped. Now, RIAA presses in 100,000 to 1,000,000 of units. So I am wagering they are well under a $1.
Now explain to me why I have to pay $12.49 - $21.95 for a single CD that cost under a $1? I would not mind if the artists saw $5 of that cost. But usually they are lucky if they see.25 cents.
Frankly, I find BSG to be sup-par. It is okay. But I don't see where everyone is getting this "greatest SF show ever"
I mean, really most of the characters are flat or typical. Lady President (typical bland), Adama (out of character, standard military father with troubled son relationship), Apollo (flat like a door), Commander Thai (typical), the only one that is a slight twist and maybe unique was making Starbuck a woman.
Drama is like a bad soap opera at times. But hey it's the first season so I am giving it some room to grow. Babylon 5 was "okay" for much of the first season...it wasn't until later that it intensified.
Enterprise has a great philosophy now. All episodes are now mini-arcs that allow for better story and build-up.
Second, the new writers are doing what the early writers failed to, to the great annoyance of the fan base,...they are now endeavoring to stay within cannon. But not just that,....they are going so far as explaining the errors of the old cannon.
SPOILERS . . . . . . . . . .
For example, in recent episodes, they explained WHY the Klingons from TOS did not have all the ridge bones, etc. that the later Klingons of Movies/TNG had. And they did so in a legitmate non-convoluted way with a story that can actually be bought and believed in the Trek universe. They explained why Dr. Noonian Soongh went the route he did in constructing Data/Lore. It's actually adding to the understanding of the Trek universe instead of conflicting it. And that's good.
Why not create cryogenic archives a few across the world in underground missile silos with small nuclear reactors that can keep them frozen for hundreds of years.
In the case of global catastrophe and the eradication of much of the world's populace these could act as a genetic "ark". We could also store animals in as well. Yes...kinda reminiscent of Titan A.E. (minus planet maker) or the recent Sky Captain.
Anyways, it doesn't kill them (intentionally, I am sure some will die/lose vitality) and it also serves an added benefit.
Also...it's probably the best way to ship humans to the stars...as embryos...much more cost effective. *lol*
I think that put into any other terms other than "womans choice" or "medical decision" is imposing a belife onto somones person.
[[[I think people who believe as you should die and their organs should be used to keep other people alive. Now why should I not be able to kil you and harvest your organs?]]]
So thanks to Bush there is $500 million extra dollars dedicated JUST to stem-cell research.
Thanks to Bush, life won't be killed to benefit other life.
Question...if I discovered that people with a special gene could produce a chemical to be harvested that would make others live forever. Should we harvest that chemical. Now let's say you have that gene. Should we kill you to and all like you to keep others alive longer?
Are you willing to die? If not...than please don't be so ignorant.

do I want it?
[[[damn right I want it...]]]
"What if I lose it?"
[[[insure it, keep it backed up]]]
Sounds great, buy one processor instead of 10, one LCD screen instead of 5, one infrared transmitter instead of 20.

Bet all the new ones have grounded plugs.
Heck, for that matter there are plenty of push button Ma Bell phones with a thin little cable connected.
They don't get much attention either...
WHY?
Because this is "news for nerds" not "news of the old"
Duh....
THis was only on the "security" issues...
In truth, most all of the materials are now made in China, Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia, etc.
So in such light PC and component manufacturering really doesn't pose a "security" risk. Which is what this was ALL about.
The jobs aren't there to begin with...so no worry over loss of jobs moving to China.
as I understand, MS Word for years has mis-counted words 'legally recognized'. Corel counts accurately.
Imagine, couldn't we have a few hundred nanites all reading the thread and communicating via RFID back to the master queen nanite?
