Without actually seeing the guts, I wouldn't feel comfortable saying it's a scam. The explanation of the magnet positioning is a little weird, but I doubt that it's weird enough to produce super-weird results, unless you consider the extremely doubtfull possibility that the magnets are acting as batteries; you don't get a violation of the laws of the universe then, because I doubt if the output would come close to the amount of energy used to create the magnets. Hmm. I can almost see that; it's still a scam, but it would be a way to create short-term, high-yield electric motors. Even then, though, I would imagine these motors will turn out to be less energy efficient if factoring in the energy needed to make the magnets.
OMG. I got a first post on slashdot. and it wasn't COMPLETELY off topic, either. my life is now complete; no where to go but down from here.... Which pretty much sucks.
I imagine it will be illegal right from the start, similar to attempting to bypass the encryption on DVD's. If not illegal, I'll pluck 'em off; if illegal, my vehicle will have the RFID tag of the local cops/feds undercover cars. Not that i'm ever likely to buy a new car again. Hmm. I wonder how much on-the-correct-frequency power you would have to broadcast to fry the transmitters?
I feel pretty certain that if Doc Cray were still alive and thinking today (he strongly avoided PHB syndrome, doing most of the research himself), it wouldn't be an issue; The Cray-3 would probably just use a Quantum distortion effect to plow the entire field via entanglement. BTW, if someone really wants a image of 1024 penguins pulling 1024 little plows, let me know; I can do it but it would be too much work to do for the hell of it (about 6 hours to make it look real-ish).
Really? which sytems, exactly, are you talking about? When Gygax & Arneson published D&D in 1974, it was pretty much the first RPG. I have HEARD of something called "Aerosmyth" from the 1940's, but never found any details.
I thought this was a nerd site! It's obvious what this is; the barrier between the normal world and faerie is coming down; look for reports of weird creatures in the nearby hills, similar things happening in various spots around the world as the local rules of physics change. It's FULLY detailed in the Shadowrun or Dark Conspiracy sourcebooks.
Lots of Ostrich genes in your DNA? MY military job directly made me a electronics tech and got me 67 college credits; it indirectly broadened my horizons and gave me a sense of repsonsibility that I had been seriously lacking. (it also got me a neat disability pension, but I knew the job was dangerous when I took it, fred). I'm not saying that it's good that we HAVE to have military forces to assure the peace of our families, and it's definitely not good what those forces are doing right now (or what I did in GW1, for that matter), but that doesn't make the basic concept any less viable. You have to have someone defending your families, and in order for those defendors to be able to do their job, they have to have equipment that will be effective; it was true in the days of gilgamesh, and its true now. The problem is letting idiot politicians deciding what those defendors do.
The Freestate project is cool and all, but i'm unable to locate anything resembling a MCSE position in the frikking state, so i can't afford to move there. I also wish they had picked something a little more CENTRAL to the rest of the country, instead of New England; there are just too many socialist neighbors.
Okay... it's really simple. If Intel implants a tracking number in the CPU's, buy AMD. If A bios manufacturer hard-codes DRM into it's motherboards, don't buy those motherboards. If (free) Gmail violates your privacy, don't use (free) Gmail. what exactly is the problem? has some government come foreward and announced that all citizens MUST use gmail as their only e-mail or something?
Britain was basically sorrounded by a moat; in order to attack, you had to cross the channel, something that is not all that easy to arrange. and while they had no standing NATIONAL army, the feudal system supplied them with levies from the standing armies of the lesser and great feudal lords. Russia, on the other hand, was big. and had borders with a bunch of other countries, where all they had to do to invade was take a step. Britain, by it's nature just really needed a well trained reserve and a decent watch system, which is what they had; Russia needed a army big/powerful enough to fight all it's enemies at the same time to be secure from invasion, something they were rarely able to manage.
Andorra might not be the best example, as you have to go all the way through spain or france to attack them; they can afford to be pacifistic. And if spain decided to attack them, they wouldn't stand any chance whatsoever; if France attacked them..I was going to say something predictable there, i'll leave it at that.
I, Personally, think you might possibly know something about conifers. From where I am setting, RIGHT THIS SECOND, I can see a 5' diameter sycamore that is old enough to have stopped seeding, which indicates that it's probably in the 150-250 year-old range; There are a variety of white oaks ranging in size from 1' to 4' that would probably place them in the 50-400 year range, and hickories bigger than that. I wouldn't doubt that what you are talking about is possibly applicable to conifers, but you seem to be unable to comprehend the existance if anything else; trees brought up from under Kentucky lake which have been down there for about 50+ years, HARDWOODS, are highly prized by local mills. I would suggest you check out www.fs.fed.us to learn about hardwoods.
I would suggest you read
this article,
written just before the war from a southern perspective.
In his 1861 inaugural address, Abraham Lincoln
said, Apprehension seems to exist among the people of the Southern States that
by the accession of a Republican administration their property [is] to be
endangered.... I have no purpose, directly or indirectly to interfere with the
institution of slavery in the United States where it exists.... I believe I have
no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.
Please tell me you are not serious. I guess that is a valid statement, though; he was a italian when conceived, or better a corsican-genoese, but by the time he was born he was french.
Yup, thats the point; it's not clear cut what percentage of what issue was responsible, nobody can clearly define it, but the answer was slavery in both cases, with no elaboration, no qualifiers.
So the kids are getting taught that slavery was THE cause, without any mention of federalism or states rights.
Hey, it's not just higher education. 2 years ago, I had the option of sending my kid to a better public grade school; I decided to test the waters by meeting with a few of the teachers. I asked "what was the major cause of the U.S. Civil War?" and "is the U.S. a republic, or a democracy? whats the difference?"
The answers literally scared me. in both schools, near identical, both wrong.
No doubt! I was thinking this might just be more vaporware until I saw those screenshots; Very crisp graphics! And of course, the imaging engine rivals that of some of the most advanced systems ever created.
Which, in my case, makes the price of the Xbox changing uninteresting. If the Xbox2 Won't play Xbox1 games (as previously reported) I'm not about to go out and buy one unless the price drops below $50.
And the inventors of automobiles were really unfair to the horse & buggy industry. If the business model is obsolete, then it's obsolete, get over it. What amazes me is that it's obviously pretty clear that the majority of citizens of the U.S. aren't going to agree with this crap, but we just set back and let it happen. I'm not a big fan of mob rule, but this is ridiculous.
well. Wal-mart forces a monopoly in small towns. Where I am currently sitting, the town is population 18,000; pre-wally world, the town had 4 grocery stores, 2 department stores. since Supper Wally came in, we have 2 grocery stores (and 1 of those will be closing within the year) and 0 department stores. I've seen them go into a town of 8000 and cause everything but the walmart go out of business. So, unless you live in a fairly urbanized area, walmart does it's best to become your ONLY choice.
