    the heavier gas has slower moving molecules than the lighter one. as you approach C the gas gets denser... figure it out

  2. Re:How many times? on Army Buys Macs to Beef Up Security · · Score: 1

    You kind of have a chicken-and-egg thing here. If you have competent admins and give them a choice, wouldn't they pick something other than windows?

  3. Re:Obligatory on Couple Busted For Shining Laser At Helicopter · · Score: 1

    I wasn't complaining, I was just showing that if she wanted to the judge could of arbitrarily thrown me in jail for 3 months. People are always getting hung up on maximum penalties.

    My bank is a small credit union that has paper thin margins--
    *low interest loans
    *fees a tiny fraction of other banks
    *personal service
    *banks profit pays into my account as dividend each month

    I think I can put up with IE.

    Ditto on that one.

    Yeah I faced 90 days in jail and a 500$ fine for not having a rabies tag for my dog. I showed the judge proof that i vaccinated him after the ticket and the judge dismissed it.

    Welcome to American law.

  8. Re:Set an example. on Couple Busted For Shining Laser At Helicopter · · Score: 1

    How would you like the police to fly 500 feet over your house for a 'routine' patrol? Sounds like a police state to me.

  9. Re:The Gist on Tunguska Blast Was a Small Asteroid · · Score: 1

    What do they have, like 3 bombs among the two countries the size of a bus?

  10. Re:24/96? on Speculation On a Lossless iTunes Store · · Score: 1

    Many people here don't understand standing waves or beat frequencies either. You can have inaudible waves come out of each side(stereo) and create an audible result.

  11. Re:So... on Speculation On a Lossless iTunes Store · · Score: 1

    Maybe because CDs suck? Hate storing them, hate ripping them. And I don't like music stores.

  12. Re:Is this needed? on Electricity Over Glass · · Score: 1

    Okay you see a wreck on the side of the road with flames shooting out of it.
    You can say one of two things:

    'It looks like the gas caught fire'
    'Look, the air is burning'

    Which one sounds odd?

  13. Re:Is this needed? on Electricity Over Glass · · Score: 1

    The steam acts as an oxidizer, it is not 'burning'.

  14. Re:Each blow in assault is not a seperate offence on DOJ Doesn't Like the Idea of A Copyright Czar · · Score: 1

    It's a civil offense, not criminal. Likewise you can sue someone for beating you, and you reward will be related to how much damage was done. So yes, each punch would count.

  15. Re:MATH on Light-based Quantum Circuit Does Basic Maths · · Score: 1

    I will add 'statistics' and 'stats' as s similar example.

    I never remember a toy that was 'in' for two consecutive years.

  17. Re:Contempt for Robots on Balancing Robot Can Take a Kicking · · Score: 1

    I hate to say it but seeing this for real was much creepier than anything I have seen in the movies.

  18. Re:Vaccinations on YouTube Breeding Harmful Scientific Misinformation · · Score: 1

    Drug companies don't make squat off of Vaccinations. There is no motive for them to lie.

  19. Re:WTF is MRAM? on NEC Develops World's Fastest MRAM · · Score: 1

    The other plate doesn't store a 'charge', it is magnetized or demagnetized, much like bits on a hard drive.

  20. Re:Not a comparison of cognitive ability on Chimps Outscore College Students on Memory Test · · Score: 1

    FTFA:

    What's going on here? Even with six months of training, three students failed to catch up to the three young chimps, Matsuzawa said in an e-mail.

    Since there were 12 student subjects, 9 out of 12 eventually matched/beat the chimps.

    Remember the game 'Simon"?

    I don't have the stats in front of me but I wouldn't be surprised if a disproportionate amount of killers also smoke.

  23. Re:Acronyms on First Details of Manned Mars Mission From NASA · · Score: 2, Informative

    From wikipedia:

    All-caps style

    The most common capitalization scheme seen with acronyms and initialisms is all-uppercase (all-caps), except for those few that have linguistically taken on an identity as regular words, with the acronymous etymology of the words fading into the background of common knowledge, such as has occurred with the words scuba, laser, and radar.
