    Since no one else here is going to pipe in with airline experiance I may as well.

    When you de-ice/anti-ice an aircraft you spray it with a chemical. The De-ice is by all other virtue and for the sake of this argument just hot water. The Anti-ice is an expensive(and I mean EXPENSIVE) compound that resembles the slime left in the wake of ghostbuster's three with slimer(was that three? or two?). In order to provide an effective coating and bumping up the hold-over times(the time to get from the gate and into the air) you need a good thick coat. Mind you it slides off after takeoff once they get up to speed, but the reason its accounted for in airplane weight is the take off. Due to the excess weight of the anti-ice fluid, planes need longer to take off, and usually can carry less.

    Ah, if only we could load people and bags in the air like the airforce does with fuel. Damn.

  10. Real Deep thoughts on Scientists Find Doublehelix at Center of Milky Way · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe in order to understand mankind we have to look at that word itself. MANKIND. Basically, it's made up of two separate words "mank" and "ind." What do these words mean? It's a mystery and that's why so is mankind.

    They've done enough studies and have proved that mostly wrong. If your a regular soda drinker, it doesn't have the same effect anymore. And in most people the Dieuretic effect is very minimal at best.

  19. Re:Bus Report on Sonic 'Lasers' to be Deployed in Hurricane Region · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Mobilizing a Relief-force for 1 million people+ is a lot harder then we've been led to believe. Especially when the damage was so widespread.

    A large percentage of those people down there really had no way to get out but walk, and so chose to stay. Yes we should have tried getting all the busses and such there sooner, but I think in all reality we're doing as much as we can.

    Sadly there are cases of people shooting at the relief helicopters and looting in a time like this. With relief on the way some of these people are looting guns leaving the food and shooting at the people there to help.

    Then with the news coming out about the forced rape situations down in the Dome, I'm starting to wonder if a small minority of stupid people is ruining the press for this.

    Its sad to think, but it may be possible with all this bad publicity, and the cries that we're doing nothing may end up becoming a self-fullfilling prophecy.

  22. Re:Next To Go: '+' Sign on Calculator Flaw Forces Recall in Virginia · · Score: 1

    Not entirely true. Give me a calculator and I can whiz through high level trig. Pen and paper and it'll take awhile. I always have a calculator with me, so it doesn't come up. But considering that its harder for people to make Change, then it is to deal with fractions...

    If you do choose to never look again, then you'll quickly forget it, in which case it was pointless to learn in the first place.

    I think a trick on a calculator is the least of our educational worries at the moment, with so many students being ignorant of the constitution. That our closes star is actually the sun. Where afghanistan is on a map... Hell, where mexico is on a map. Lets deal with literacy before we talk about a function on a calculator.
