  1. First stage hits the engine nozzle at separation on SpaceX's Falcon Launches... Sort Of · · Score: 1

    At T+00:02:52 one can clearly see the first stage hits the engine nozzle of the second stage. The second stage looks like its being set a bit out of course by this also. Im no rocket scientist but i doubt that those parts should make contact.

    Ironically there would also have to be a human migration on a global scale away from colder parts of the planet which are not really fit for human habitation without the burning of at least wood.

    Wood is not a fossil fuel and does not incerease the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. Sweeden is basing much of its efforts to become CO2 neutral on that fact:Making Sweden an OIL-FREE Society

    Look a bit down on this page:www.dailykos.com Where strangely somebody has done the criminal act of putting the two curves on top of each other. Makes your argument evaporate like a 21 century glacier.

    Syria? SYRIA?!? What the HELL are you talking about? Syria is by NO means an ally.

    This HELL maybe: US embassy close to admitting Syria rendition flight:

    Sometimes your official enemy is you unofficial friens. Iran Contra

    Sadam is an ally Bin Laden is an ally. Former perhaps, but still an ally of the land of the free. Pinochet was an ally. Pakistan is an ally. Saudi is an ally.

    Nice friends to keep.

    Where do you get that number from. The temperature in Celcius i always a smaller number than that in Kelvin. 15000000 kelvin = 14999726.8 C . You even got the difference wrong (~273).

    Which explains the need for greater surveillance powers. Esp cameras in every bed room is needed. If not, how could you police these laws? What other nations in the world have talibanic laws like these?

  10. Re:Capacitance? on Fingerprint Scanners Fooled By Play-Doh · · Score: 1

    ;-) Im not in that buissness(skin resistance) any more and dont have the equipment. I was being a bit retorical. It will be a homogenous material. If you dont have a method of creating very thin layers with siginificant difference in capacitance and resistance you wont be able to fool a multi frequency/phase analysis.

  11. Re:Capacitance? on Fingerprint Scanners Fooled By Play-Doh · · Score: 1

    Will this also model the skin resistance?

  12. Re:Capacitance? on Fingerprint Scanners Fooled By Play-Doh · · Score: 1

    You can. Use the same technology as for a polygraph but do a frequency scan will give you an unique phase/resistance curve that i doubt any non biological material can duplicate. It will also be able to detect if the finger is alive because this signature will change over time if it is dead (breakdown of the biologial material). You can also detect the heartbeat of the person with this metod, but that would perhaps require a too long measurment period. Cap that up with the standard noninvasive oxygenation/ heartbeat sensor that patients on intensive care have on their fingers you should have a pretty foolproof system. Using only a still image as detection is pretty lame. The method described in TFA is probably better but it really does not determine that the finger in question is a biological object.
