Not true at all. I've done something similar. I took two ring shaped magnets and superglued the repelling poles together using a plastic clamp. After the glue had set, the entire assembly was attractive on all sides, but the space in the center repelled objects inserted there. Bingo. Monopole. No exploding necessary.
No one is going to buy your crappy sh*t. It doesn't matter if you put it in a pop-up, or in a pdf, or in Jenna Jameson's poontang, NO ONE IS GOING TO BUY YOUR CRAPPY SH*T!
(ok, I might examine it with tongs if it's in Jenna Jameson's poontang...but that's IT.)
I think either the erbium is causing the photons to resonate at a higher frequency, or the erbium itself is transmitting the pulse data before the actual pulse can make it through.

"Currently, the new Havok FX engine will support SLI physics even for a single NVIDIA GPU. But NVIDIA states that an SLI configuration is still the preferred mode since it allows the second GPU to be dedicated for effects physics processing."...so, while yes, an SLI setup would be recommended for such intensive computation, it's not necessary. Older cards like the 6800GT should be able to handle it fine.
What exactly is the DHS getting in return for their investment? You know the government NEVER invests money in something if there's nothing in it for them. Think 'backdoor'.
"Point A: All motion is relative. If I walk down the asile of a plane, I'm not suddenly walking at 202 mph; I'm walking 2mph in a 200 mph plane, so long as that plane is around me and at a steady flight." -this proves nothing. you are still MOVING at 200mph in relation to the observer who is on the ground. and if you take 3 steps in a plane moving 200 mph, you've just traversed the same distance as the plane did...in 3 steps.
"Point B: The speed of light is NOT relative. It's always c. Always, always, always." -nope. c = the speed of light in a vaccum. c can be much much slower when in a medium...such as water. scientists have recently been able to slow the speed of light down to walking speed.
The very word, RELATIVITY, indicates the complexity and the depth that must be considered when working with the laws of physics. The laws can change and DO change relative to where you are and how fast you are moving and any number of other factors.
Precisely what I was thinking. Who cares that they're launching Internet offensives...weaponization of space is a HUGE deal, if that is what they are admitting. And if you think about it, the U.S. has been launching telecommunication 'payloads' for quite a while now, and are just now including it in their mission statement. How long have we been weaponizing space? Just how far back does the deception go?
...from the press release: "This press release includes "safe harbor" language pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, indicating that certain statements about the Company's business contained in the press releases are "forward-looking" rather than "historic."...nuff said.
i mean seriously...how long has microwave technology been around? and just how much intense development would be needed to produce this? it's no wonder our place as technology 'king of the hill' is in jeopardy...
I remember watching The Prisoner as a kid. I loved the show. It was so different from anything else that was on. Huge plastic balloons chasing people around an island, where nothing is what it seems, and no one is who they pretend to be...it's no wonder i started smoking weed!
Good point ninjakoala...I'm the same way. I play CS:S like 20 hours a week, so sometimes I like to fire Serious Sam up just for a humorous break. I think this game series probably appeals to two very narrow niches of players...total gaming newbs who just bought the game because it was 20.00 at EB, and hardcore gamers who need a laugh to go with our Mt. Dew every once in a while. : )
What's interesting when you read the article, is how they are going to be determining their success. They specifically state that they will be "looking for signs of adaptation" to determine whether their creation is a lifeform or not. Early in the article they state that Darwinian evolution is the agreed upon basis for this decision. What if they're wrong? I'm not saying they are...but what if? Another point...they are claiming to be creating synthetic life, but they are using RNA to accomplish this...which is an already-established ingredient in life. So aren't they simply 'hacking' a lifeform?
...how do you counter nuclear depth charges and torpedoes? Hope the range on this system is decent...these bad boys kill with the same shockwave principle...they don't need to impact a ship/sub at all to be effective.
Well, i'm sure i'm going to catch crap for this, but i'm going to take the unpopular route this time. Maybe it's a GOOD thing. Forget for a moment your paranoia about everyone knowing what brand of dish detergent you buy, and think about the useful possibilities. Let's say you've lost an object in your house. If it has an RFID tag in it, you can use a device to narrow down and locate that device, or at least detect whether or not it's in your house. RFID tags could be use as security devices as well. Embed the RFID tag in a personal object that you don't want anyone taking, and place it next to a receiver. When the object leaves the vicinity, an alarm sounds. RFID tags could be hidden in cars, and mobile detectors placed around town to track where particular vehicles go...this would be useful when tracking down wanted criminals. It's much cheaper than GPS. Anything can be misused. Same goes for gun control. Yes, people kill people with guns, but no, guns do not kill people by themselves...furthermore they don't increase the likelyhood of someone killing someone else if one is around. If someone is determined to misuse something, they will find a way to do it one way or another.
Who cares if someone knows everything that I buy? I don't. I mean hell, I'm not going around buying Stinger missiles and hand grenades all day long...there was that M-xxx that I bought in N. Carolina for 4th of July that nearly blew a crater in my apartment complex's parking lot...but hey, gotta have a little fun SOMEtimes...:) : )
Interesting. If you look closely, there are three anomalies there. First is the triangular outcropping. Second is the straight line ridge that runs to it. Third is the perfectly rectangular greyish area surrounding the previous two objects. Very intruiging. Any astrogeologists wanna take a shot at this?
just a new way of coming to the same solutions. that's like saying the transportation industry has been revolutionized because an alternate route has been found between your house and where you work... : ) (actually...i would probably say that if there WERE an alternate route...but...eh...)
There's also a large part of Yosemite National Park in California (state just below Oregon) that has been bulging as well. And scientists have conclusive proof that it is due to volcanic pressure centered under a large lake there in the park. What if the Oregon bulge and the Yosemite bulge were to trigger each other? Or even worse, what if they became one giant bulge? Wanna talk super-volcanoes? lol. I dont think there'd be anything left of half the United States if it were to blow under those circumstances.

Aaahhh....excellent explanations everyone. My mind is at ease. Thanks! :)
What happens when the power goes out and you suddnely have to somehow contain the energy of a small sun without a magnetic field?
