  1. That does not contradict it. It just shows that in some places is gains and in others it loses. It's about net loss of gain, whichever you prefer. The summary is not clear on that though.

  2. Re:UN measures, adopted by EU on EU Set To Mandate Speed Limiters In All New Cars (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 3, Informative

    How is the insurance company screwing you if you willingly don't comply with the speed limit? Speed limits are there for a reason.

  3. Re:OK where the speed limits are reasonable on EU Set To Mandate Speed Limiters In All New Cars (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    Last time I looked Australia was not in Europe. Also, trucks also have to obey the speed limit too. Heck, in a number of countries in the EU trucks have speed limiters.

    You obviously don't know much about electricity. Electricity is not measured in volts.

    Of course that is the place to stop it. Doesn't mean you can't clean up the existing mess.

    You know this is about Belgium, not the EU?

    On October 4, 2018, https://blogs.nasa.gov/commerc... talks about June 2019 as target for a crewed demo mission for SpaceX, August 2019 for Boeing.

    Where is this free? There's a free trial, giving you free watermarks in your output. From their site: "The demo version allows you to try out all the features of Master PDF Editor. There are no limitations except for the addition of a watermark on the output file." But it costs $70 (excluding VAT) for a single license.

  14. Re:Without landing? on SpaceX Enters a New Stage of Reusability (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    So? They did return to Earth, they did not stay in space. Nobody said anything about getting them down in one piece, reusable or accessible even.

    Those Block 4 first stages did land albeit on the bottom of the ocean.

    Yes, like saying: if a tree falls in the wood and nobody is there to notice, does it make a sound?

    Keep in mind these are not your typical cameras. Most probably the images were taken by a Near Infrared Spectrometer or a Thermal Infrared Imager.

    So you do nothing, because others should get their act together first? Why not start with the man in the mirror?

    Why would that be difficult/annoying/awkward? Maybe a bit harsh, but you are the one with the problem, why do others need to provide a solution when you can solve it quite easily yourself?

    You must be new to the internet... Seriously: she took of her jacket, what did you expect to see? And you cannot really call that a close up.

  24. Re:Not Buckyballs? on Samsung Develops 'Graphene Ball' Battery With 5x Faster Charging Speed (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    From TFA: "Each GB is composed of a SiO x nanoparticle center and surrounding graphene layers, constituting a three-dimensional (3D) popcorn-like structure." Buckyballs (or rather Buckminsterfullerene) is C60, consisting of 60 Carbon atoms in a ball-like structure. So, totally dissimilar.

  25. Of course I am not assuming the other stuff is not using any power. I'm merely explaining what was written in the OP.
