Physics says moving an object faster than light relative to spacetime is impossible. However, physics does not say the same about moving spacetime faster than light relative to a stationary object. Seems like the same thing, but they are very different in physics.
In fact inflation of the early universe was an expansion of spacetime itself, not the objects within spacetime moving apart, that occurred at speeds faster than light.
Technically, the solar energy comes from the Sun burning its expendable fuel, hydrogen, in a massive fusion reaction regulated by its the gravitational field of its fuel source.
It should be noted that Elon Musk has degrees in economics and physics as well as real world experience in the software field (PayPal) as well as engineering and business (SpaceX/Tesla). The man is incredibly intelligent and seems to really understand how things work. I'm willing to bet this decision wasn't made without the board. I'm sure Wall St won't like it and stocks may fall, but this is the correct decision. Musk is doing what many businesses don't seem to understand these days, playing the long game rather than the short game. He may lose a little in the short term, but long term, Tesla comes out a huge winner an brings up a whole lot of other winners with them. There's a good chance he explained all this to the board, and given their about to start battery production, they realized that they stand to have a huge revenue stream if they jump start the electric car industry in this way.
This is their absolute root core problem. There is no leadership at all. And I have repeatedly told them this and gotten really idiotic replies back. It is just a bunch of kids who have no clue what they are doing, and increasingly less of a reason why.
I have to disagree. The point of a protest is not to go to jail. The point of a protest is to make a point and raise awareness. This goal is not always best served by going to jail. In fact, often times, going to jail because you were being an ass and breaking laws only serves to distract from your point and make you look, in the eyes of the broader public, like a hooligan. If you are improperly jailed then it can be a boon (sort of a martyr thing), but you can't be trying to get jailed or intentionally breaking laws.
This is a very key point that OWS has never ever understood. Their point and purpose has gotten completely lost and forgotten among their fights with police and constant reports of arrests. They think they are fighting the man when really they are playing perfectly in to the man's hands and tarnishing their own public image.
A protest should decide what their end goal is and then use all the tools at their disposal to most effectively achieve that goal. If that involves mass arrests, so be it, but that is actually very rarely the best method. In the case of OWS, it is the least effective method. They are all but forgotten. Not to mention hilariously presumptuous. Million mask march? How many actually showed up? Several thousand?
I was 6 years old and my older brothers (17 & 19) taught me some basic stuff on their TI-99/4A. Wasn't long before I started experimenting and looking for books in the library on programming it. Wrote games for TI calculators in high school that probably lowered the grades of a number of kids. I was out of the country and away from technology for a couple years right when the internet took off and went from primarily BBS to the WWW. When I came back it was quite a shock. MP3s came into popularity while I was gone... I had a whole new world of programming to learn. Taught myself HTML and ended up in a job cleaning up css on php pages. Taught myself php by going through and fixing their code as I cleaned up the css. Now I have been the senior developer and db admin for several startups.
Is the always on DRM. I have long loved the Sim City games and this one looks phenomenally amazing. If it weren't for that crazy bad DRM, I would have bought it. I hope EA and Maxis get the message that DRM only hurts the paying customers, doesn't stop piracy, and in the end, hurts their bottom line.
"10+ years ago we didn't use smart phones and we coordinated the rest of our lives just fine."
This argument is ridiculous. It assumes that nothing in the world has changed, which is obviously flawed.
It's like saying that people didn't use cars in the 1830's and still got around just fine, so why should we be using them now?
Progress and innovations are made to make things easier and more accessible. Rather than carry a 12 month calendar around everywhere you go, or a planner as a separate book, now you have your email, calendar, to dos, notes, voice recordings, phone, etc all in a single device that fits in your palm. No more need for a briefcase worth of crap. Just a single phone. Sure people got along find 10+ years ago, using the best that was available to them at the time. And so should we.
Piracy. Using the hosts file to block calls from installers out to verification servers is pretty common. This would effectively end that method for circumvention.
And they wonder why there is piracy of video games. Seems quite obvious to me. "Buy game and get a rootkit installed on my machine, compromising my system's security or get the game from pirates without that."
Yeah, that's why iOS 6 isn't available until fall. The whole "ships today" mentality about Apple isn't always true, though they do generally get things out fairly quickly, they don't always.
They are already using the old Titan pad at Kennedy. But that is a single pad and not nearly enough to support the ambitious plans SpaceX has for the future.
They are currently using one that we already have. But SpaceX has ambitious plans for the future far beyond being a taxi and ferry for NASA. At Kennedy that have a single pad, the old Titan pad. Not nearly enough to support what they want to do. They also has also used the launch facilites on Omelek Island in Kwajalein Atoll, but again, not enough to support their future plans.
Mojave is only certified for horizontal launch of spacecraft, such as Scaled Composite's White Knight/SpaceShip1 combo. SpaceX is launching rockets. Doesn't really fly to launch those over land. People tend to complain. That's why they are all located on coasts. Kennedy, Wallops, Vandenberg... Brownsville is an ideal location. Now, Kennedy is also in the middle of a wildlife preserve, as is the Stennis Space Center where they do engine testing. Animals don't have the heck scared out of them at either location. Nor are their noxious chemicals spread all over.
Having an environmental group in Texas? How is that even real? I don't believe Environment Texas actually exists. It is contrary to everything Texans stand for.
Our legislative body did as well this year with SOPA. Elected leaders will do what the public wants if the public makes its voice heard. In the end, elected officials want to keep their jobs and that means not pissing off the people. There have been huge demonstrations across Europe against ACTA. It's actually not hard to get legislative bodies to do things... it is hard, however, to get people interested enough to care to make some noise.
I think the important thing is to use the polling system to gather information about public opinions, not necessarily as a vote to approve or set policy. Especially if competently coupled with facts, pros and cons from both sides written and vetted so that they are as honest and truthful as possible.
I've actually been thinking about coding something like this for quite some time.
I get the feeling that this guy has been wiping out with women since he was a teenager and is just seeking a scapegoat for his inadequacies.
Guys have never needed the help of video games or porn to wipe out with women. We're experts on that all on our own thank you very much!
Why? Publicly funded space travel isn't over. NASA has stated, just a few weeks ago, that their goal is Mars. The SLS and Orion are still progressing nicely towards their big tests. No mourning needed.
21 cases, not people. Each case may represent hundreds of thousands of people. This final case is grouping all 21 of those together. The $10,000 is the maximum damage allowed under law per person, not per case.
The study talks about local temperature changes in the vicinity of wind-farms by comparing non-wind-farm areas very near by. This kind of invalidates the word climate in the headline as climate is global, not local. Weather is local. While the paper does say that if large enough, a wind farm could have a climatic effect, I'm assuming it would have to be an apolitically huge wind farm. The study also notes that the effect is small when compared to anthropogenic factors.
Point 1: Men cannot ascend to the "highest level" unless dragged there attached to a woman. It's called marriage. Men don't get in alone and neither do women. It's not some "men only club."
Point 2: Not really sure what your point here is. As a statement of fact, yes, it's true, but it is true of many religions.
Point 3: Once again wrong. The primary way for Mormon women to become "garmented" is actually a ceremony in the temple called the endowment. It has nothing to do with being married nor with bearing children. Most happen to do it around the time of their marriage, but that many do it long before that time. Having children actually has nothing to do with it.
It might help, when making claims, to have some reality in there. Plus, throwing ad hominem attacks into your arguments doesn't exactly make you sound believable. It just makes your claims sound desperate and weak.
Not anywhere near complete. The buildings in the complex have a long way to go and then they've gotta put all the equipment in, set it up, test, etc. It is a really huge project. Lots of trucks, equipment, several cranes.
I'm getting a bit of a conspiracy theory vibe here. They have no reason to keep this place a secret. In fact it is in their best interests to not keep it a secret. It's why they sailed nuclear submarines out of harbors on the surface. It was important for the enemy to know that the thing set sail and then it disappeared. It's important for the existence of this facility to exist as well as its purpose.
As to what it is, the power consumption is a very large indicator. Those numbers are not made up by managed media reports either. They did numerous power studies around the country before selecting a location to build. That amount of power is consistent with Data Center usage from Facebook, Google, Microsoft data centers. The facility has a dozen or so employees and that is it. This is a server farm that needs minimal maintenance. This is simply a massive server farm. Every bit of data points to that. The design of the facility, it's power requirements, the cooling facilities, staff numbers, etc. I'm sorry. Trust media or not, the numbers don't lie.
And yes, it has been built and operating for years in other places. They have data facilities all over the country. There is no secret to that and never really has been. This is simply the largest single facility they have ever built.
