    New York state is very much New England... if you ignore New York city.

    Fortunately it's crammed right in the corner there by Manhattan, so it's easy enough to partition them off! :P

  2. Re:scientifically on Hypersonic Test Aircraft Peeled Apart After 3 Minutes of Sustained Mach 20 Speed · · Score: 2

    Even better, the same technology that lets you fly in atmosphere at such extreme speeds would likely aid reentry, wouldn't it?

    I'm 26. Not everyone plays the same games. I can't stand games like WC3. Starcraft I can tolerate, almost entirely because of the setting.

    I think you are confusing skill with personality. They are not related.

    I play League of Legends. I didn't know what DOTA was.

    How might you explain this, Mr. Jerky Jerk?

    Then you can charge it yourself, since you don't need to spend hours charging it to full.

    Likewise you could still charge it overnight, or when you are at home.

    The tare should be on the tank somewhere. Weigh the thing and subtract the tare.

    For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

    Your ass propels you with as much force as it propels others.

    I thought force vectors WERE acceleration vectors?

  10. Re:This just in on Pioneer Anomaly Solved · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Could one compromise and put the radiators perpendicular to the direction of the sun (and travel?) eg, not on the front or back, but on the sides? Provided you did so equally, any force resulting in their radiation should cancel itself out.

    It's OK, this is the internet. We can swear here.

    See? Fuck shitty crap dammit fuck. ... I'm still here! Nothing bad happened.

    Huh, it seems the Rapture really did happen... and we are all the remainders just finally starting to notice we are in Hell :P

    I guess then it's intended to do what marketing says it is. I wonder what the actual intent was when the idea was brought to the table?

    No, it's not. It's supposed to make the screen feel like it has a higher contrast ratio than it actually does.... and has nothing to do with power consumption.

    Well, I won't argue with you there - you have a point!

    How so? I'm in my mid-20s and have a lower UID, which I assume is how you are drawing that conclusion.

    Nope, it was a joke. I think I'd fucking know, I posted it.

    ... why on earth would you want to put a header anywhere other than the page header? Are there not other functions that do the job better?

    True enough, but my post was meant entirely in jest.

    I hate Sharepoint as much as the next person who's been forced to use it, so I beg pardon for having a little fun at it's expense.

    I'm sorry, part of your comment is missing and impairs it's readability. You might try typing it all into the body next time.

    That said, this is exactly what is going on. The UK is just ahead of the US, that is - we're still fighting the copyright battle... they have yet to pull the "think of the children" card from the deck.
