No no no, tachyons are only used for time travel. This is a simple polariton gathering net via an anti-matter mesh. No need for tachyons (Phased or not).
On the other hand, I suppose if you wanted to increase the effectiveness of the gathering nets, you could coat them with a few tachyon bursts, which means they would collect polaritons from all the surrounding times at once. THEN the only problem is re-integrating all of the polaritons into the same time frame, a phase inverter synced with the rotation of the polaritons might just do the trick, I would like to run a few tests to be sure though.
Apparently I can still "Star Trek" my way through any sciencey talk, as long as no actual scientists are involved.
What an astute observation... I wonder as well. Maybe someone out there will see this and get the courage up to ask him.
On a similar note: I have asked multi-lingual people which language they think in, and they have all said that they just go with whichever is more accurate, or sounds better. Like if they were primarily Spanish speaking, but also fluent in English, and they were thinking of the phrase "To be thrown out of a window" in Spanish (I am not even going to bother figuring out what it really is in Spanish, I could Google Translate, but then again, so could you), it would just be easier to use the English word "Defenestrate".
But only if you THEN route it through the anti-matter chambers to the warp nacelle. (This is assuming you are prepared to eject the core for the 30th time this year).
If gravitational lensing was how we discover black holes, dark matter, etc... Then why are they not lit up like a floodlight? The lensing that should occur around something that is infinitely dense (Such as a black hole) should also be an infinite amount of lensing, therefore curving all the light in the universe around it, to point back at us. That should (According to my small brain) make black holes the brightest point in any universe.
I once drew a diagram of this for some friends, but none of them really understood it. Am I crazy, or do I just not understand fully how gravitational lensing works?
I suppose I could buy the book and find out, but I would rather ask/..
My wife never wore her seatbelt because she believes that the protection afforded only actually helps %50 of the time.
I kept trying to tell her that I would prefer her to wear her seatbelt because I have the ability to assess a situation more quickly than the typical driver, and thus I am able to stop or dodge before a collision occurs. The exact situation that I explained has happened a couple of times, resulting in her hitting her knees/head/elbows on the dash/visor, then glaring at me afterward because I caused her to be injured, all the while ignoring the fact that I clearly prevented a collision. For all those wondering, yes, this is what marriage is like.
Anyway, after about the third time of her being injured from not wearing her seatbelt, she has started buckling up every time we get in the car. I am just glad we never got in a wreck, surely she would have taken more damage than I.
:) About a year after this happened I got hired on at a startup company as the IT Systems Administrator, so it all worked out. I hear Joe is still with the FAA, but I do not know how he is doing.
That last paragraph should have a watermark with the word "Touche" written over it. That is a very excellent observation, and something I tend to forget a lot. But only in the moment. Typically before/after a call, I realize that the person on the other end is not a computer expert, that is why they are calling me. But they are a WHATEVER expert, which I may just have to call some day to get some assistance from their whatever expertise.
I am most often reminded of this when I visit a mechanic that is having problems with his computer. I know how to fix the computer, he knows how to fix my car. Now if only there were some sort of barter system here, we could all be happy.
This makes me sad and reminds me of my 3 month contract job with the FAA..
Myself and another (Joe) were hired to roll out PC upgrades at the FAA in Oklahoma City. Basically all we had to do was grab a machine, ghost the standard image to it, transfer user files to it, and then physically install it at their desk.
My background: I have a Net+ certification that I got from going to a 2-year trade school, NO college education, 8 years of working with computers non-professionally, and about 2 years with computers in a business setting. His background: Bachelor in somethingsomething, 4 or 5 years in a good state college, no computer experience (WTF?). His major was in sports, or cheese, or massage therapy, or something totally not related to computers.
So on the first day, after we were told what we would be doing, and given basic instructions, I got to work on my first machine... Then Joe started asking questions, I thought he just forgot specifics about the settings, so I helped him out. Then he started asking more, and more. Turns out Joe had never done computer work, ever . So in the midst of doing my job, I had to teach him everything he would need to know in order to do the very same job.
At the end of the three month contract, they ended up hiring him on full time, and decided to cut me completely. He was more personable than I was (I am pretty quiet, do not really initiate conversation, etc. {Probably Aspergers, but everyone has that these days, so who knows}), but he could not troubleshoot his way out of a paper bag. I even tested him a couple times, asking random computer questions that got increasingly simpler, he never knew what I was even talking about. So I guess in the end, education matters significantly over experience.
I double checked the size of the capsules after I posted and thought about static as a possibility, but I did not want to accidentally sound like a moron, I would rather sound like an uninformed nerd that wants to learn.
Thanks for the response confirming my thoughts!
Sounds a lot like gravity is the main mechanism for deploying the liquid, in which case any circuit that is not facing "Up" cannot utilize this technology otherwise the liquid will just pour whichever direction is down, which is not always toward the circuit... Or am I just understanding this concept incorrectly?
Wow, the first time I read your post, I did not see the quotation marks, and thought that you would rather have the company fight to keep you. After losing my place and scrolling around a bit, I unknowingly read your comment again and saw the quotation marks, it was a whole new comment!

I just checked the number of backers at each pay bracket:
$1-44 = 69
$45-79 = 1653
$80-199 = 681
$200-349 = 47
$350-999 = 12
$1000+ = 4
Soooo, yeah, I guess the people only giving $20 are stupid, and they do not indicate the quality of the product.
Slashdot Mirror
The same as regular old fashioned white light, but the contrast is just turned down a fair bit.
:) This made me smile. I like your version much better.
We forgive you. I do all kinds of things I regret (Murder, extortion, general thievery, etc) but yeah your thing is totally not a big deal.
Why did this get modded down? I found it particularly hilarious.
But they do not do it in order to secure whatever type of computer system they happen to be using.
Put one hand in your pocket was the original recommendation for us as we work with high voltage, so as not to cross your chest.
??? Can you explain more on this please?
Drat... I knew I should have looked that up first, does that mean I lose nerd points?

I find this to be the most believable theory out of all of these. I mean... Gravitational lensing? Seriously? That was the best we could come up with?
Hahaha! Surprise! Turns out the release cycle was based on a parabolic curve.

This sounds like an amalgamation of every tough question in school I have ever had... And failed.
Thanks, Josh!

I see what you did there.
