  7. Boy, we need a (-1, Ad hominem) here. FWIW, the non-mass-media account is that he was working on a semi-legal synthetic substituted cathinone called MDPV and also known as "bath salts" which is a stimulant on par with methamphetamine and has been reported to have aphrodisiac properties, in addition to hallucinations, delusions, hypertension, risk of dehydration, stroke, and heart attack and had _far_ too many of the local women at his compound, so he "needed" to be run out of town. Who knows what the real story is, but AFAIK there's no evidence of a crime. FTFY

    I've seen plans that involve an outer portion of the sail separates from the inner disk, continues forward while the backside reflects light back to the sail, but hitting the opposite side and slowing it down. It might have involved slewing the vehicle with the inner portion of sail around 180 degrees, and using the same reflective surface it used for most of its journey. This would alleviate having to re-rig the sail if the photon pressure came from the opposite side, for example relocating trusses or whatever they use to secure sail to vessel to account for the force to be coming from the complete opposite direction. They might have that part figured out, been a while since I read about it in detail and am too lazy to look it up now ;-)

    Elon Musk 3D printed guns that fire bitcoins, it was one of these guns that the Uber driver used. The story is being suppressed by the TPPTA until militarized law enforcement gets the drones to use surveillance of people through walls using gravity waves to make sure this tragedy doesn't happen again. After all, think of the children!

    I'm sure the taxi lobbies and medallion owners have no interest in 'suggesting' to the media that they take this story and run with it, making sure to mention the Uber connection. No, I'm sure this doesn't even occur to them at all.

    Oops, replied further down the thread for some reason. The G3 and G4 were both first to market with lollipop and marshmallow respectively. My G4 has survived a drop into a full bathtub, and when it got dropped and screen shattered, after I got there replacement screen it was a matter of removing 11 Phillips screws from the back plane, pulling off the bad display unit, and unhooking both cameras and the display connector. I had the new one installed, put together, and running in 7 minutes without having to consult instructions... I wish all phones were this simple to work on! I used Samsung from galaxy 1-4, but unless they give me a compelling reason to drop them LG is my go to manufacturer now and for the foreseeable future.

  22. A good example of what GP is talking about is the batteries in the G3 and G4, both have identical dimensions, both have the contacts in the same place, but for some reason the + contact has swapped positions with a neutral contact in the change from 3 to 4. Both 3000 ma/h, physically fits in both phones, it's just that LG wanted to be able to sell batteries to all the loyal customers that upgraded from G3 to G4 rather than have an extra battery for their new flagship.

    I doubt he really knows how to work autotune, that's what his audio engineers do. His 'talent' mainly seems to be a willingness to perform childish antics in the public spotlight, marrying another non-talented woman who's famous for being famous, and manufactured controversy (could be argued this falls under childish antics). I'm with the other posters in that I feel like downloading the album as many times as I can simply to delete it. There's a song on the album called "I Love Kanye"... Get over yourself, fool!
