[In worst worst (British) west-country MC voice] biggiting up with the MC, Steven Hawking, www dot mchawking dot com. A Brief History of Rhyme. DJ Doomsday, laying this shit down check it!
"My science is tight, rhymes faster than light, Like a ton of TNT I'm about to ignite" (E Equals MC Hawking)
With lines like that this is some of the best phyisics rap i've ever heard..
Ok guys this really stinks of a practical joke, hidden camera style?
Anything that involves a 'youth-driven ceremony' is a waste of time by someone who has absolutely no idea whats going on. Just listen to this song Einstein (not enough time) (im sorry for the bandwidth you're about to get surry uni) if you think im wrong. its definately in the C rap MC category.
"We want to show that physics is not about the stereotype of the mad scientist. Physicists are normal people doing normal things."
But thats exactly what appeals to people! no-one wants to be doing a boring normal job, people wan't blade-switches.
The reason physics has declined in this country, and I know, i've just been through uni, its because when people leave school they are shit scared that they are going to do a worthless degree where all the jobs are taken. If you want people to take up physics you have to proove to them that there are jobs out there that pay well and are worth atleast £10,000 debts at 21.
Considering 4GB is enough to store about 6 hours of CD quality uncompressed audio, if you're an audiophile with a hard-drive based music player you would probably want to try it, except most mp3 players don't have much RAM so you will probably get allot of skipping if you move it around. Still, people are going to start storing uncompressed or losslessly compressed music on their computers more and more since capacity and price are pretty good now and most people can't be assed to compress all the music they've ripped - you have to decide on the bit rate and then what if you compress your whole CD collection and decide you want it at a higher quality, you might as well just keep it lossless.
Silence you eco terrorist! go and fill up your 16mpg tank like everyone else and like it. All this crap about an oil shortage is just some left wing conspiracy, we have enough oil to last a century.. if we invade and destroy every other country in the world by 2030. If you don't keep on buying lots and lots of stuff, our economy will crash - remember, patriots drive humvees and SUVs and go shopping every day! terrorists ride bicycles and 'recycle'.
ROFL, I'm not a gun nut or a conspiracy freak I was just trying to explain why most people won't want this on their guns. A complete nuclear destruction of the entire USA is just not going to happen, but an air burst high in the atmosphere just might - its been done several times in the past in testing and the EMP effects were noted..
I think the issue is that your right to bare arms is just incase the government turns bad and everyone needs to overthrow them - if guns can be disabled like this on mass with a single high altitude nuclear blast for example, it would pretty much negate any chance of an armed uprising..
This has been argued countless times on slashdot and by just about everyone else. In the end, physics and common sense says no you can't, some pilots however say they have been not only hit with lasers, but tracked for several seconds. It doesn't seem totally impossible that in certain rare circumstances someone could hit a pilot in the eyes, if the beam spreads out quite allot (nothings perfect) and is still powerful enough then its possible, just unlikely. Also helicopters would be a far easier target flying low and hovering. It really doesn't deserve more than a 5 minute news slot though, its just being used as the latest 'terror alert' - remember what you don't know, could kill you!
It would end up being used for advertising, which would be ironic because most people would boycott a product that forced itself like graffiti in the sky...
i ask because a friend of mine experienced a plane accelerating to take off after trying to land. after reaching a higher altitude, he heard over the PA that "they had to abort the first landing attempt because there was another plane on the runway." (no joke.)
This isn't really an issue of where you can go with a reasonable expectation of privacy, its a question of can the police do something to your car without a warrent? And can they 'search' or follow you without telling you? I always thought that if the police wanted to search you, you had a right to know what they were searching for, but if you don't know theres a search then how can you know what its for?
They should have known better, in this day and age you _never_ reveal security flaws unless you keep it anonymous! This isn't some free utopia we live in, most countries including the US are at witch burning level, don't give them your name!
Obviously you've gotta pick a good candidate, if possible a car thats just on the street with no-one to claim it (someone could be at work, hence dead, but they left their car behind to take the bus - or they have two?). The whole point is that sometimes, faced with such a bad alternative (i hear 6 week radiation sickness isn't a walk in the park) you become like an animal and your morals vanish - it happens in places like Iraq on both sides..
Still I think it would be a nice offer on pay-as-you-go (pre-pay?) because you would make your money from normal calls and so many more people would join your network, they could charge a small extra fee for each months unlimited messages but it would have to be very low. In Europe and most of the world everything is GSM and moving to 3G, its very useful to be able to just get on a plane and find your phone has automatically picked up a network when you get to the other airport but allot of companies charge way too much and even charge you to receive a call, that just takes the piss - in most countries you can just pick up a new sim card cheaply for a local network that won't be such a rip-off.. actually sometimes I think using a foriegn provider in the UK would be cheaper than using one of our money-grabbers..

They need to show what the Hawk-man's all about,

In other news, Disney and the rest of the film industry has run out of ideas and is remaking all films. Does that mean this story is a dupe?
Not my view, but the view of many redneck hick gun-nuts

And if morse code == binary, then thanks to software patents the human race's ability to use this will be limited to what a few drug companies decide.
They wouldnt be anything like runway landing lights would they?..

Wow I couldn't think of a stupider idea, luckily, you can! Because finger print readers always work every time..

I am AC.
(hopes a few people will follow this joke and I won't look stupid)

It happens allot more than you think...

Can I stick a fridge magnet on your car?
Well before.. everything, but after the PATRIOT act and this? only the cost of new devices!
Its really to protect the childeren, so think about the childeren! they don't know about nakedness, we have to keep them innocent!
Im guessing if you're in Europe you can ask for a copy of those recordings, they'd be classed as personal data?
nope its slashdotted from here too..
They should have known better, in this day and age you _never_ reveal security flaws unless you keep it anonymous! This isn't some free utopia we live in, most countries including the US are at witch burning level, don't give them your name!
Y'all that there government said we could have ourselves ay free 'broad band' co-nection for arh trailor!
Them 'engyneers' betta get the hell off ma land!
I totally agree - we've got to start putting people like him in jail...
