Err, why is an image processing library doing network uploads anyway?
Are the costs of the extra fuel required for landing plus recovery and refurbishment of the engines and control systems (I assume the rocket body is scrap) less than simply building a new one? I guess it must be if not now at least at some point in the future but I'd like to see some figures.
Its just a non-essential toy anyway. It does absolutely nothing that isn't done on a phone far better. The only reason to buy it is for the oneupmanship that fanboys love to play.
Oh boy. I bet you're a millenial who thinks the world started in 2007 when St Jobs stood on stage with his overpriced copy of plenty that had gone before but with added fanboy fairy dust?
Whose modern white collar society? In northern europe air con is hardly essential and a most homes and the majority of offices still don't have it yet somehow we just struggle on.
I don't trust many governments. But I do trust in basic physics and the impossibility of virtually every country in the world with a science program being in on some conspiracy to fake a robotic mars mission that most of the public frankly don't give a shit about anyway. It would be harder to fake than actually go there.
Keep taking the meds fella. I'm sure you next appointment with the doc is not far away.
Course, in the meantime you might want to figure out how NASA are bouncing signals off mars too fool all those non governmental orgs and other countries who are picking up the signals too. Oh, wait! They must be in on it too! I bet its the Bilderberg Group eh??
He's at one extreme, you're at the other. As with most things in life the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Competition is good in some areas - eg supermarkets bringing prices down or car performance - and co-operation is better in others such as blue sky research. Life is far more nuanced than either of you seem to appreciate.
Cost £20. Tells the time, has an alarm. Done. Anything else I can do much better on a phone or laptop. Smart watches are a solution looking for a problem.
Fuck off. If you want me to have even a passing interest in this i want to see how easy it will be to use and port applications BEFORE I give you my details.
I'd have thought for a spacecraft control system it would be one of the first pieces of code you'd test! Its equivalent to putting a car into Drive and finding yourself going backwards!

And there's your problem right there. What would you rather be - a "bad" engineer who can still pay the mortgage/rent, or a righteous engineer who's now looking for work and could be on the street in a few months if doesn't get a new job?
and by doing so broken a written contract then yes, he should get some financial recompense. Whether its worth 2M is another matter but thats would be for a court to decide.
... at least here in London is that a lot of them now are run by not very bright egotistical and/or criminal (other than just illegal broadcasting) individuals who don't give a stuff about anyone else on the band. They'll cause interference to or even stomp over legit and other pirate stations alike. A minority of them are also a front for other far worse criminal activities.
He's an idiot is he? Oh ok then, if you say so. You'll be able to point us to some papers you've written disproving some of his theories then won't you Mr Genius.
"If the mass completely leaves the universe for another universe, why would the gravity be left behind?"
I wondered something similar when they kept saying the singularity in a black hole has zero size. Well something with no dimentions doesn't exist so how can it still have a gravitational field? Unless because time is so slowed inside a black hole relative to outside that from an outside observers point of view the singularity essentially never forms.
There are always garages around who'll look the other way on emissions if someone slips them some money. There's a bloke up my road who manages to get his almost scrap transit through the MOT every year. There's no way it would pass legally.
Not impossible - just very expensive and it would hit fuel economy. Which then defeats the point of using diesel in a car.
"This is why almost all big rigs and tractors are turbo diesels. Even decent 4x4's like a Hilux or Triton tend to use diesels, not for fuel efficiency but to pull 3 tons of bricks about using a 2.4L 4 banger."
That used to be the case - but modern turbo petrols can produce high torque at low rpm now. Not sure how that would scale to a truck sized engine however. The one issue with petrol is flammability - trucks carry a HUGE quantity of fuel in an external tank and if that punctured in a crash - well, you can imagine. Also certain industrial sites won't allow petrol or LPG engines on site due to flammability issues.

Sorry about the long word there, I know anything with more than 1 syllable gets confusing for some A/Cs on here.

If you ever come across negative gravity where things travel uphill do be sure to let us know won't you.

Excuse me? Wtf have air and ocean currents got to do with oil thats 200 million years old and 2 miles under the seabed? Moron.
The oil and gas under the artic probably formed at or near the equator and got taken north as the plates moved around.
Try again...

>Where in the world are you getting that diesel engines are more complex?
They are now thanks to high pressure common rail injectors and emissions control equipment.
>The level of emissions that go into making a car outweigh the small amount of NOx outputted anyday.
Thats so true. If only the greens and politicians would realise.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought quantum theory killed that 100 years ago so whats the problem?
