    Projectile vomit might have some interesting trajectories in that space, specially with the fact that there would be quite the turbulent airflow in some areas...

    You know, solving the problem of storing nuclear waste isn't that hard to solve, you just have to tell some people to STFU, and make them realize that there's tonnes of other shit out there that's much more dangerous to you and me just sitting in our landfills. But, you know, everybody knows this, therefore no the media doesn't talk about it, therefore it must not be a problem.

    You do know that some places are supposed to get much more snow, according to current models, due to the increased atmospheric humidity? Right?

  6. Re:Of course FUD works on Is Fear Reducing the Publicity for Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Take, for example, a scheduling concern. There is a student, Bob, who needs to take classes A and B. Classes A and B are only offered every few years, so he has to take them when they are offered. Now, the kicker is class A and class B are offered at the same time, 'because they are in different departments. But hey, the student wants to take them both, and has show ability to do so. The student gets permission from both professers to take the classes, one day at class A, one day at class B. Now what? The system is set up to only take one class per time slot. But this student has two. And, you know, the programmer will realize ahead of time that there may be conflicts in scheduals, right? Right?

    Well, you see, if we funded that particular avenue of research any more, well, they'd be able to hire people who don't really want to do it. You know, people in it just for the money. Usually, these kinds of people do not the best researchers make. Plus, if you only attempt to research highly known unknowns, you don't know what you might miss.

    Where do you think that this water is coming from in the first place? It's not like we are pumping it out of the ground or anything. (Actually, to get that oil, we pump it in. The more you know.)

    Ah, it might kill a bit more than a bird or a lizard in its purified state. We're talking heat output here baby, enthalpy all the way.

  15. Re:Back To the Future? on The Car That Makes Its Own Fuel · · Score: 1

    This would probably be a step backwards if your thinking to save energy be recyling. To get pure aluminum, the problem is that it's expensive electrolyze the aluimum out of the oxide. That's why they reuse mostly pure aluminum, it's cheap. What this car is doing is taking that refined aluminum, and oxidizing it. So your back where^H^H worse off than when you started in terms of reducing consumption. Damn you second law, DAMN YOU!!!

    Well, there is a problem with that. First of all, Thermodynamics is usually not a first year course, so it'd be a 200 level at the very leask, AFAIK. Plus, it requires that stuff called math. Which, you know, if you are a True Believer, you just have to accept. You don't need to know how it works man.

    Faith man!

    You should read up on ionic bonds, and you'll understand why you can't just filter out the H+'s and OH-'s. That, and the fact that even if you isolated a bit of one or the either, you'd need some wicked containment facilities.

  25. Re:What keeps it up? on Skyhook Robot Passes 1000 Foot Mark · · Score: 1

    Er, one could say that the net force acting on the mass is centrifuging the mass outward. The mass is staying outward, because it wants to go in a linear direction, but with the normal force that you pull upon the rope with counteracting this, the mass moves circularly. It seems you understand this, as you do say that this centrifugal force is the net radial force. But would you call the sum of forces that a car uses to move, the Carring Force? Or would you call the sum forces that a person uses, the Humanity Force? No, at least not without fully desribing the direction and magnitude of the net components. //You do know that weight =/= to mass, right? More specifically, that weight is the Normal Force?
