  3. Re:Heh on NASA Mars Rover Spirit May Move Forward By Spinning Its Wheels · · Score: 1

    A ~0.2 kg block of pure Gd148 (~1 in^3) initially yields ~120 watts, sufficient in theory to meet the complete basal power needs of an entire human body for ~1 century (given suitable nucleochemical energy conversion and load buffering mechanisms, and a sufficiently well-divided structure).

    So, could this also be used to power a laptop?

    Imagine a laptop battery that doesn't have to be recharged, ever.

    Sure, the cost would be greater, but imagine the savings.

    How much is the price of Gd148 anyway? :-)

    If you have 7 feet and divide by 3, you still have 7.33.. feet, and you can write it that way. To write 7 ft. 4 in. is more accurate, but the two are synonymous.

    Likewise to 7 meters divided by 3 is 7.33.. meters or 7 meter 3 decimeters 3 centimeters...3 nanometers...etc.

    I don't think divide means what you think it means.

    7 meters divided by 3 is 2.33 meters.
    7 feet divided by 3 is 28 inches (2 ft 4 in)

    And how doe every photo of the formation, from all kinds of different angles, all see the same spiral that the 3D twisting project into to the observer? Someone watching on-axis would see that perfect spiral, but not all the observers at all the angles.

    Have you seen northern Norway?

    http://www.virtualsources.com/Countries/Europe%20Countries/no-map.gif

    It would take maybe 1-2 hours to cross Norway from west to east so far north. So if the missile was launched north-east of norway most of northern norway would be on the same axis.

  7. web of trust on Facebook ID Probe Shows Things Getting Worse · · Score: 1

    When posting things to facebook I usually limit pictures etc to "friends of friends". I like to think my friends are just as selective on who they add as friends as I am. The whole web-of-trust-thing.

    By adding everyone you shred that web. Imagine someone stalking a friend of you. Instead of stalking him/her directly, they try to add friends from her friendlist to get close to him/her.

    Adding people you don't know is stupid.

    Actually we do.

    I wish they could make my phone (Nokia 6110 navigator) larger so I could have a longer lasting battery. But they don't make that phone.

    Double the battery would be excellent. Don't even have to double the size, just make it a bit thicker.

  10. Re:Because teenagers only exist in English countri on Trapped Girls Call For Help On Facebook · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's the same in norwegian: tretten (13) to nitten (19)

    Ofcourse we use a different word, namely tenåring.

    In swedish the word is tonåring, and the words are from tretton (13) to nitton (19).

    Some other countries, for instance Denmark, just use the word teenager to mean 13-19.

  22. Re:And on the plus side. of plus-size.. on Fat People Cause Global Warming, Higher Food Prices · · Score: 1

    Yes, it's better. Smokers can go outside to smoke, or just leave their cigarettes at home. A person with astma/allergies can't just leave it at home or go outside. Another problem with 50/50 smoking/non-smoking at restaurants is when you go out with a group of people, the group will usually end up in the smoking sections, even though the smokers are in minority. "got to think of the nicotine addicts". I would believe the same would be true if we actually had a choice of smoking or non-smoking venues. The non-smoking venues would almost be empty because every group has a smoker that just dictates where we go, or non-smokers are overly polite and considerate. Lucky for me, Norway has banned smoking in bars and restaurants. There are some places that have smoke-tents outside though, and if I go out with some friends that wants to sit outside to smoke I prefer sitting inside alone than getting smelly clothes outside. Usually the other non-smokers will follow me inside (someone has to break way first I suppose), and then the smokers follow too ;) And yeah, to get back on track: I'm fat, but I'm trying to change that.
