If things started out as a big bang, on some scale, we will find a "center" of the universe.
That's ridiculous. It's not a matter of scale, but a matter of dimension. The Big bang created not simply matter in space, but the space itself. Consider a reduction in dimension for purposes of illustration, and imagine instead of 3D space you have 2D space. The analogy is then the surface of a balloon. Draw dots on it for galaxies and blow up the balloon--the dots all move away from each other. Beyond the dimensional reduction, however, the analogy fails in that the balloon is embedded in space, whereas the universe is not, so though in the case of the balloon there's a center of expansion, which lies inside the balloon, in the case of the universe just that surface exists, there's no space inside/outside it and thus there's no location that is the center of expansion. Expansion is uniform and it is the space itself that is expanding, not matter moving through it. That is why objects outside our hubble volume are moving away from us at speeds greater than the speed of light--there's no limit to how fast space itself can expand, just matter's speed through space is limited.
Why was I modded down? Did anyone actually check the post of the idiot that replied to me? The conductive polymer capacitors are still electrolytic, despite the electrolyte being a solid. Major capacitor manufacturers still call these electrolytic capacitors:
Mod parent down, solid conductive polymer capacitors are still electrolytic, as a quick search of the literature would reveal! The conductive polymer is a solid electrolyte; the principle of operation is still the same.
The photographs show the board covered with typical surface mount electrolytic capacitors, just like the ones in my last order from Digikey. So not only did the guy confuse solid-state with surface mount, but incorrectly claimed they weren't electrolytic capacitors. I've been on/. for a few years now, and this is one of the dumbest things I've seen yet. Congratulations/. on reaching deep new lows!
Take the heatpipes to the back of the case into copper blocks sunk into very large external heatsink with vertical fins (so convection provides the airflow), i.e. the kind of heat sink you see in high powered class A audio amplifiers. We actually designed something like this and works well.
That's wrong, actually. The advantage of electrolytics is that they have very large capacitance for their size (tantalum electrolytics more so than aluminum electrolytics, but tantalums are more expensive and are limited to lower voltages).
The article has way too much BS. The photo of the board makes it obvious that it's full of crimp-style surface mount electrolytic capacitors. "Solid state capacitors" yeah right... dumbest thing I've read on/. in a while.
Total BS. Looking at the photo, I see a whole ton of crimp-style surface mount electrolytic capacitors. This is the dumbest thing I've read in a long time on/.
My mother lives in Florida, and neither of us was born here. It is exactly because I'm not biased, having lived in Europe, other parts of Canada, and the US, that I can make a better comparison. As for my "volatile little johnson", why don't you come over here and see exactly how big it is!
Your problem is that you are a hater. I don't understand such people. You are not only hurting others, but yourself as well, with your negative attitude. Being positive and optimistic leads to a much better life.
I get my entertainment in the sack, and in stuff I do. Relying on others for fun will always leave one lacking; make your own party wherever you go. I even do it in the back of the bus if I'm taking a long ride. Fun comes from within first.

What's wrong with OpenMP?
DAMN YOU SOLANKIIIII
Mod parent up. Grandparent is a cretinous imbecile.
That's all it was--speculation. Moreover, Fuller is not a geographer, so we can safely ignore this speculation.
I don't get it.
You cretinous imbecile, as has been pointed out in another post, Google is actually breaking an Australian law.
You messed up. The sound of [N] is Russian written with the character H.
I don't get it.
And I suppose your boat can do 30 knots in rough seas :rollseyes:
Mod parent, a cretinous imbecile, down. This is quite good for a vessel this size.
I'm reminded of Fred Hoyle's "A For ANdromeda"
Mod parent down for ignorant comments.

m _electrolytic_capacito_1.html and http://www.nichicon-us.com/english/products/pdf/e- cg.pdf says they are "CONDUCTIVE POLYMER ALUMINUM SOLID ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITORS"
Some examples from big manufacturing companies that call solid conductive polymer capacitors electrolytic: "Aluminum electrolytic solid (conductive polymer) capacitors" according to http://www.rubycon.co.jp/en/pc-con/index.html or how about http://www.garrettelec.com/weblog/2007/06/aluminu
As you can see, my post was modded down unfairly, and I deserve some reprieve.

You idiot, doesn't matter if it's solid or not, it's still electrolytic. These use solid electrolyte. The full name is still "Aluminum electrolytic solid (conductive polymer) capacitors", as you'll see written on the websites of typical manufacturers of such capacitors: http://www.rubycon.co.jp/en/pc-con/index.html (Rubycon is one of the biggest capacitor manufacturers). More solid conductive polymer capacitors that point out they are still electrolytic: http://www.garrettelec.com/weblog/2007/06/aluminum _electrolytic_capacito_1.html Another of the capacitor manufacturing giants: http://www.nichicon-us.com/english/products/pdf/e- cg.pdf "CONDUCTIVE POLYMER

So, I've proven you're as full of shit as the original article.

destroy YOUR system with immunity
Huh? Did you mean "impunity"?
Not really. The government is pretty loose on immigration from Japan and South Korea.
