    One can't compare diesel engines to gasoline engines since diesels work in a different way such that they become more efficent as they run since the engine heats up requiring less fuel and pressure to cause combustion. Gasoline is ignited by a spark, not just compressed with heat to go boom.

  6. Re:Alternate uses: Cell towers and surveillance on Lockheed's High Altitude Airship · · Score: 1

    I don't actually know much about how cellphones, or radiowave bandwidth
    really works other than from what I've read via slashdot, so if I'm off, someone correct me.

    Ok, so cell phones have an alloted frequency range, sort of like a sewage and water pipe,
    each individual cell could be thought as a cess pool and a water pump, IE the end points can
    only put out and recieve so much till you need to make a bigger cess pool or build a larger
    pump(larger cell towers). After a point though the pipes just can't pass any more fluids and
    you'll need new cess pools and water pumps (different towers spread out) since our pipes are
    of one fixed size. Since we're talking about wavelengths and the fcc controls those, it isn't likely
    we'll get a bigger "pipe" for cell phone fluid management, so many end points for the
    pipes is the only way to handle increased traffic(ignoring compression and the such, which can only help so much).

    I hope this wasn't completely wrong.

    Is this some sort of joke? Following the link...

    "...will have an opportunity to obtain one free Giant Shrimp at participating Long John Silver's restaurants..."
    no, guess not. But not as cool as all you can eat shrimp,
    which let me down. And the rest of that Long John Silver's
    thing is pretty odd too.
    First seafood restaurant in space? Ran by pirates? Giant Shrimp?
    I'm all for colonizing mars, but something about a seafood fast food restaurant sounding so excited about setting up a branch in space makes me think the human race has done something horribly wrong. But i guess then you could calll them space shrimp from mars, color 'em green, and profit.

    You request a non SSN based student ID. My comp-sci teacher told us this on like the third day of class because he felt it was the worst system ever to protect one's identity. Your SSN is probably easier to memorize though. Most colleges need to do it for foreign students anyways, so the system is in place.

  12. Re:Where's the end of this cycle? on More Than 500,000 High Tech Jobs Lost in 2002 · · Score: 1
    The cycle ends just like proposed in 1984. The only way to maintain our economy is to waste massive ammounts of resources(food, lives, nature, etc) unnecessarily.

    This waste requires people to make more things to waste, and more bookkeepers to keep track of the waste. War is the ultimate excuse for wasting our resources, creating the "need" to continue production. Food is efficently produces, so has a low value, but we need to eat. Luxury items are expensive for thier scarcity, but the problem is, in America, we have begun to run out of jobs that pay our artificially high living wage. It doesn't make sense to use American labor for production anymore, and as a result we can soon be regarded as nothing but consummers.

    Life/wages/jobs in America is/are like a diamond, falsly rare and unnaturally expensive due to price fixing by those in power. Like diamonds can be synthesized outside of the diamond cartel's control, so can anything America produces be done by another country for less.

    Where exactly did you get that E can fuck up your ability to have sex?

    I said enjoy, not have. That's from personal experience, as well as the experience of friends. You can still have it, but you may stop enjoying it, to the point of actually hating it. I'll admit it may have been some other drugs, but I noticed the total lack of enjoyment after ecstasy. ecstasy is just modified meth does mean something, that it has roughly the same effects of meth and then some. The saratonin flood from X is the biggest difference between them that i've learned about. The other reason it has merit is that meth is easy to make (relatively) so with some expermentation you can cook up some nice batches of dope, and then cut and experiment till you have a convincing product.

    I'll admit all my knowledge is from extensive drug use,research during said use, and rehab.

    Hate to break it to you, but E can really fuck up you ability to enjoy sex. So can heroin. LSD, however, is as safe and enjoyable as ever, with no serious side effects (except the random insanity/flashbacks[mmm... flashbacks]). And LSD makes animation look sooooo gooooood...
    Remember, real Extacy(sp) [MDMA] is just modified meth, fake E is potentially PMA(it, well, kills you). E is also spendy, whereas LSD is cheap if you don't get ripped off. Nitrous, and most inhallents, are dangerous in a lot of semi-unpredicatable ways; most work by killing braincells to get you high. Drugs can be fun, but know the risks and don't be stupid. And always use with a friend, just in case, when it comes to anything that isn't pot.

    Modern civilization is THE TESTAMENT to the triumphs of technology over "Mother Nature".

    With that in mind, why don't we just use technology to solve the weight problem. Amphetamines work pretty good at lowering weight, reduce the necesity of sleep, and do a great joob at killing hunger. The downsides are all the other health effects, but nutritional injections could always help with soem of those. The problem is that sleep is when our body likes to repair and detoxify itself, so we still need sleep, but two days awake is easily feasable with minimal methmonsters or other side effects. Then we just need to figure out what drug will induce complacency to help with paranoia, maybe a synthetic opiate (that could also help with keeping the heart rate down). Technological solutions to lose the weight and keep it gone are here today*, but like the internal combustion engine, has some minor side effects.

    With all the pro-opensource(wasn't china working on their own linux or something to escape MS?) news coming out of asia, it would make a bit of sense if they supported it over there. If it's part computer, it doesn't seem like they'd be able to sell it in Vietnam, which might be an all but nonexisiting market(I don't know) but it'd make sense to make sure they can sell/manufacture this thing where-ever seems cheapest.
