  1. Re:I'm a little confused. on Continued Success for Space Elevator Tests · · Score: 1

    Presumably, the elevator itself will be made of some high-strength material that will be able to support itself. The cable/robot combination is more for the actual construction phase.

  2. 1500 feet not a mile on Continued Success for Space Elevator Tests · · Score: 5, Informative

    The robot only made it around 1500 feet. The cable was a mile long.

  5. Contrast Ratio on Dell Enters HDTV Market with Plasma Display · · Score: 0
    From TFA: For comparison, we stacked the Dell up against a high-end Pioneer 50" plasma, the PRO-1110HD, which won high praise in our review. A quick look at the average white and black levels from our ANSI checkerboard test pattern reveals that Dell is delivering brighter white levels, and darker black levels, which translates into a better contrast ratio, as we see here.

    But the table shows the exact opposite, the Dell has a lower white level and a higher black level...can someone please clarify?

    The kid got the gun by taking it from one of the officers he shot dead, not from home. Very interesting is what the kid said..."Life is a video game, you've got to die sometime."

  8. Re:Ummm... on MIT Certifies Biological Engineering Major · · Score: 0

    As for my understanding, the only engineering major that substantially deals with biology is Biomedical Engineering, which is more geared towards medical instruments used on living organisms. I believe the programs you have pointed out deals with this field. Biological Engineering sounds like more of a fusion of living organism with mechanical/electrical technologies.

  9. Re:Georgia Tech Biomedical Engineering on MIT Certifies Biological Engineering Major · · Score: 1, Informative

    Sorry but Biomedical Engineering is different from what they are proposing. Biomedical Engineering deals mostly with biomedical instrumentation, which for the most part is like traditional engineering except it deals with tools used on living organisms.
