How did you manage to get "24 is anti-Islamic" from my post?
The "answer" the show is pushing is "America is awesome, terrorism is not awesome"
Political views aside i think ANYONE with half a brain can see that EVERY show/movie/game pushes some point on its viewers. Its whether you agree with it or not that sparks these discussions.
"The best political plot lines ask a question. The worst try to force an answer. You most you can do without ruining a story is to suggest one by framing the story to be in favor of it, but once your characters become mouthpieces for the "correct" answer, you've lost the story."
Yeah, thats why 24 does so horribly right?
First, most people live in a major metropolitan area. Also if people spent the money they currently spend on petrol on buses then your little piece of suburban bliss would have a bus route.
If you live in the country and own a farm or whatever then you SHOULD own a car, also a tractor and all those other gas consuming machines that farming needs. NOONE ever said you shouldn't! Know why? cause farmers grow CROPS. Those magical types of plant that we can not only eat but while growing turn CO2 into O2!
Second, a family with 4 kids can have an SUV. The problem is that most SUV/4x4 owners don't have 4 kids. It has always made me laugh that people actually go out and buy a vehicle that: 1) looks lame 2) accelerates much slower than a car and 3) is MUCH more likely to be involved in a fatal accident due to bad design. (maybe people should read the crash tests before buying a vehicle, just a thought)
In conclusion, no one is attacking you for using petrol. They are talking about OVER using it, there is a difference
I see a lot of replies to this along the lines of "but your in orbit so your moving in the same direction"
Thats what i thought....at first. then i remembered, things can orbit in any direction they like, so actually an impact could occur with the craft moving in the same speed but opposite direction to the debris. 5 miles a second head on collision....count me out.
How would you find the exact bit placement of an encrypted file? If you are in a position to know that then you surely don't need to decrypt anything...
ok ok a transmitter WITH a handset on it.
You only need him to be closer than the horizon to establish a connection...I'm sure you could set it up to mimic his cellular providers cell towers
Is there a reason you put Europe (1 billion people) and Asia (4 billion people) on the same scale as the USA? (300 million)
The US market is not the largest by any means, Apple can afford to sign away a monopolizing deal to another company in the states and still maintain an open business practice elsewhere.
I have read over and over and OVER again that "the sun and earth have thousand year warming and cooling cycles" and that "the warming we are experiencing now is just the warming cycle"
OK OK ill play that game...so if this cycle is thousands of years long then what temperature can we expect to reach by the END of this warming cycle?
We have seen temperature increases that THREATEN TO DESTROY our ecosystem in less than 100 years! If the same happens for the next 1000 years you can expect earth to look a lot like Venus.
Enjoy your snow days (while they last)
Thanks for that, i will be sure to read up on it.
My theory still works though, just not in every case. I am sure that this 'evaporation' will not occur at a rate higher than the rate the black hole absorbs of fresh matter.
Thanks again
If this is true (previous statements point out this far from proves it) then maybe it is because there are more neural connections there to decay (therefore taking longer). Does anyone know of any studies linking things like university education or overall knowledge base with dementia onset?
His black hole reproduction theory is something i have been thinking about for a while. (and here i was thinking i was original)
My idea was:
Black holes constantly grow. As the mass grows the gravitational force eventually reaches a point where it exerts enough force at the center of itself to open a hole in space (wormhole) at the center of the mass.
Since the density on the other side of this hole (probably a big empty bit of nothingness) is so much less than the density inside the black hole, the matter is thrown through the hole with the force of the Big Bang.
This fulfills all the requirements for a "Big Bang" that i am aware of (limited knowledge of theoretical physics). Matter of all types, Large energy release, All matter comes from a tiny point etc
Like i said i have been thinking about this for a while and was considering talking with some of my prof's about it (physics/IT student)
OK, i had a big post written explaining that there is going to be a serious lack of air circulation through that tower, definitely not enough to power those turbines you have in there.
BUT i wont post it because i had an idea, what if you replaced those turbines with FANS!
Now before you laugh i know that fans would use up some of the power you are generating BUT it would greatly increase the thermal exchange in your air heat exchange. This would increase the power generated by the "steam" engine and increase the speed at which you can generate power.
I KNOW this will decrease efficiency, BUT its not like your going to use up all that heat anyway;P
I don't think that British guy understands that his country doesn't rule the world (not that "the colonies" know either)
It may take rigorous government approval tests to use a drug in his country but in poorer nations the choice is use this drug or die...i doubt they really care about minor side effects.
"You cured my life threatening disease but my HAIR HAS FALLEN OUT! Lawsuit incoming!"
i would stop hating Microsoft products if they would stop trying to make all my decisions for me...
i currently am forced to use word and frontpage together. my day consists of ALOT of deleting, deleting the extra 2 lines of code it puts before AND after every line i paste into frontpage, deleting the extra tags it places whenever i hit enter.
cant they just make a product that does what its meant to AND NOTHING ELSE?
The difference between the Microsoft scenario and this is pretty clear.
Microsoft gives you their option and says "Go find the others for your self"
Google lists all the options, it just puts itself at the top of the list.
As far as i can tell this only affects people with the "I'm feeling lucky" itchy trigger finger
how about you just pay for everything with duplicated Cards and stolen pins, getting a new card or 5 every morning when you wake up...why would you even use cash?

Sorry, that wasn't anything against you, i just hate people who post without reading the article

Mod this guy down please...i used all my mod points already >_
How would you find the exact bit placement of an encrypted file? If you are in a position to know that then you surely don't need to decrypt anything...
regular reentries cause a significant amount of heat, way to speed up global warming some more guys...
ok ok a transmitter WITH a handset on it.
You only need him to be closer than the horizon to establish a connection...I'm sure you could set it up to mimic his cellular providers cell towers
couldn't they just fly out there with a transmitter and keep trying to call him?

I for one welcome our new time wasting overlords

"need" Do you have any idea how many countries DON'T use nuclear power? Boy, they must be all be warming their homes by rubbing sticks together....
I haven't finished reading this/thinking BUT in the diagram of the "Down Draft" step they forgot to connect the pink line... Back to the article!

Maybe if they change the name to Personal Internet Exlorer then more third world countries will invest in them.
They all want more PIEs
