They won in Nanking.....
Sure it was terrible but that's like saying the US wouldn't invade Japan because we nuked them.
Or maybe a better example would be like saying Germany wouldn't invade Israel because of the holocaust.
I don't see how it would make them less likely to help in any war against China.
I never said they shouldn't, I just said there was no need.
I myself have a dozen old computers chugging away in my closet folding. Not because I need to, but because I want to.;)
But inventions tend to follow the path of needs. Why build a new airplane when the old one works perfectly well? If there's no need for a product why should someone create it?
It's sort of like asking why no one has built an abacus that can do math in the billions. Easily done, just not useful.
Why is it so shocking?
There is really no need for this. Even if they get it to fly it's very likely to be a rather bumpy ride, not be as efficient or fast as normal airplanes, and is much more complex then a standard plane to build and fly.
It's only advantage will be it's ability to fly slower then a normal plane something that helicopters can do much easier.
NPR just was reporting it as a Hmmmm that's interesting story. Not a 'true' story about climate change.
And while I don't really think there's any real problem with wind turbines some simple logic will show that they do have an effect on the climate.
If you generator X amount of gigwatts from the flow of air that's X less gigwatts of wind current. So if the entire world started sucking their energy from the wind, then there's logically going to be less wind.
"The sensors were a key element in a domino-like series of events designed to release the parachutes. When the capsule - which blazed into the atmosphere at 11 kilometres per second - decelerated by three times the force of gravity (3 Gs), the sensors should have made contact with a spring." "The contact should have continued as the capsule peaked at a deceleration of about 30 Gs. Then, when the capsule's deceleration fell back through 3 Gs, the contact would have been broken, starting a timer that signalled the first parachute to release.
I swear that is so over engineered... what's so wrong with a guy with a remote that has a big button that says deploy parachute now.
This is to all responses....
Yes 600,000 is bigger then 500,000. But you wouldn't say more then 1 download per day would you?
Yes it says 'almost' so the number is less then 600,000.
But if you say almost 3 million in 5 days... it's closer to 600,000 not 500,000 Unless 'almost' means 2.75 million or less.
Jezze you people are way to critical, I was just poking fun at his rounding.
If he needs it right now then all he has to do is go to the ER. If his symptoms are really as bad as he describes then he should have no trouble at least getting a day's worth of antibiotics to tide him over to his appointment on Friday.
He may or may not have to pay for out of his own pocket though.
There's no need for him to travel half way around the country to get something that he can get at any hospital.
I did RTFA. There's no way to expedite his access to medication with out breaking the law.
He has to meet with a doctor before he can get something prescribed to him.
Actually he said he already found one.
"Rodney has no ability
to directly admit me to a hospital without first sending me to an
infectious disease MD there who would have to agree with all of this.
I have an appointment on Friday."
What I got from the article is he just wants us to send him some drugs....
"Please call only if you can help
get me some high-dose antibiotic treatment."
"Please call only if you can help
get me some high-dose antibiotic treatment."
I'm sure this guy is a good guy in all.... but who here is really ready to commit a felony just to help him save a few bucks?
Don't ask us for medical help. Get you ass to a doctor and then ask for money.
I don't know if everyone see's the same advertisement as I do... but the one to the right of the story says Half Life 2 "In stores 11.16.04"
I found it kind of ironic hehe:)

Maybe they should form a union.
Damn I wish I was a billionaire and could do crazy crap like this.

Archimedes beat everyone to it.
We just forget about him for quite a bit.... dark ages and all.

Don't you have to win a reward?
Sounds more like they were just willed this stuff to show case.
And we're here to help you find the rest. ;)

A little too open it would seem.

If we cover the world in wind mills we'll destroy the climate by stoping the wind across the world!y Id=4161624

Remind me to write him a thank you letter to him for that.

It's illegal for a doctor to prescribe medication with out at least meeting him to review his condition.

This is old news to us mMagic the Gathering players. We've known about the Robo-Roach for a while now.
