Yes, that's another good point. But still, a dorm's playarea (or WeverTF it's called) is a pretty good place too, as some of them even have showers and mircowaves.
Yes, I *have* spent entire weeks at the university while living off campus, why do you ask?
It's possible. There are a lot of good places at a university to sleep, and most of them are one up over the dorms. All you have to do is get to be good friends with the security gaurds, aka, first name basis, some janitors, and tada, sooner or later, they stop kicking you out. Oh, and earplugs go a long way too.
They live five years with 21th century technology dufus. Back then, the kid would be lucky to survive half as long. So, as you can see, the odd's that they would spend every waking moment caring for the kiddy would be very minimal. Some families might even put down the crippled child as it would be to expensive in terms of time and food to raise it.
So let me get this straight: You had a shot with the system, and you said screw it. You *think* you are smart, yet you don't want to learn. So why are you complaing? You never even gave it much of a chance.
Just remember, a lazy bastard who has a +160IQ is still a lazy bastard who will never amount to anything.
I guess I've just been lucky then. My uncle just keeps on bringing back the monitors from work, and I just keep on putting them back together... I'll have too see about getting a plastic floor mat at the very least, and maybe a better ground wand.
The worst electrical accident I've ever had was I modded my electric train set to bypass a resistor or two, and then I laid my hand over the rails. Much worse than broken lightbulb in water time, much worse. It's a tie I guess, between those two, as with the light bulb, I didn't know I was getting electrocuted, I only started to feel my heart beat really fast, and my face flush.
I've ripped apart dozens of CRT monitors this year. You just have to be patient, and wait a few weeks after it's last been used until you start fixing it. And as long as you ground all the Caps, you should be okay. Sure, it's not an amature level project, but there is no reason someone with a good head on their shoulders shouldn't be able to replace a burnt out switch or a couple caps if they have to.
They do not put detergent in gasoline, that's the air bubbles that get sucked into the gas flow through a little hole in the bottom of the spout. If they didn't have the bubbles come up and click of the gas, then every time you'd fill up, you'd pour gas all over your shoes. Most cars can take (but your not really supposed to do this) a good extra 25L if you take it *very* *very* slow near the end. The best way to get the same amount of gas in a tank as a time before, is to let it click off, then wait 20 seconds, fill it up, time how long it takes it to click, and try to match this up to a previous time. Then it should be equal.
The point remains however, detergent, in gas? Are you that silly?
My computer BSODs about every 30 min or so... the best thing is, you just hit a button, and it recovers. Usually. It's like the BSOnotsoD. But then again, I can rattle on for about an hour about what's wrong with this thing. Gotta love the whole run it till she stops mentality.
Still, you probably should be scared anyway. My two favoirte phrases are "What could go wrong?" and "I haven't died yet!" The last one is great justification for *anything*.
Now if I just could find a couple more car batteries and maybe even a ~10Kv DC adapter for my EMPG, I'd be set.
Well, all those Christians should take a week off to lie, cheat, and steal, 'cause it's fun. You know, the whole don't knock it 'till you have tried it thing.
Most likely, what would happen is that you would experience some sort of delocalization of the electron. However, the solution to connect the two ends of the quantum wire, and still have it small enough so that the magnet, if it does display magnetic properties, is noticibly magnetic, would have to be ingenious.
I am also thinking that even if one did get it to do such, that the electron in the ring would eventually decay into pure magnetism, esp. if that magnetism is used. No free energy/free lunch sort of thing.
Ture, I hadn't thought about that. Even the article does point it out. But the difference with this technology and X-rays, is that we know where the technology comes from and have a decent idea why the fusion is occuring. 150 years ago, with X-rays and electrons, we had almost no idea why they were there, only that they were.
So I see this as more of a building on the basics invention, rather than something revolutionary.
If you would check the movie page, you would see that they use, "a pyroelectric crystal in a deuterated environment" for an experiment. So if anything, the submitter isn't wrong.
How well does it scale up? And what would be the costs involved? Would profit and energy produiction of the pyroelectric cells themselves be more than the ofset of the cost of the deturium and other equipment?
It's a fun physics experiment, but I don't think it is much use in the economic driven world.

My 'pologies. It just seems that there are an awful lot of Mark Twain quotes that just don't fit within his lifetime.
Ah... is that another Post-Mortem Mark Twain?

I like it both ways!
Yes, sqrt(-pi). What were you thinking?

You don't wan ta know what I've ha to do to keep 'er running cap'in. You don't wan ta know. The best part is, it's all original hardware.
Win 98. It's like shooting yourself in the foot, cleaning the barrel, and expecting less painful results.

I read that, and had the funny idea of what it would look like too see the lander/base, from the view of the rover, have its engines ignite.

You never know. It could just be screenshots of text in gif files. Try searching that with your grep.

I was going for the slightly rhetorical, slightly leading effect, but I guess I did not come off as such to you.
Ahh, true, my bad... /me hangs head in shame.

I love that show you quote in your sig.
Well, if by tomorrow you mean 3 hours ago, sure!
Thank god there is someone here who has a bit of classical learning. Watchers indeed!
/You just can't mangle a quote like that... it's not right...
