Personally I think "Hey kids, this is how to make guncotton!" really is best left out of prime time TV. And it's not like a determined enough retard couldn't find a method on the internet, the issue I think is the show not wanting Johnny Six-Fingers trying to sue because "he saw it on TV".
True, sort of. You have to consider what the downforce is there for in the first place though.
The car produces more downforce than it weighs, that is true. It generates this force to exert more pressure on the tires, and thus more traction.
Ok, flip it upside down. Now instead of having downforce plus the weight of the car now you have only the downforce MINUS the car's weight acting on the tires. With that decrease in traction, the rear tires won't have enough grip to maintain speed. Less speed means less downforce, which means less traction which means even LESS speed which leads to not driving upside down anymore.
Interesting, you believe that fraud should be legal because only irresponsible people would "fall for it"? I can't really argue that point any more than saying I disagree.
But, hey, thanks for the name calling, that's very mature! And kudos for the straw-man there too, if you can't argue the point argue the opponent!
For whatever reason?!? THAT IS THE FRAUD! Good God man! They sent him money because he sent out notifications to domain name holders based on WHOIS info and told them to pay up or lose their domain name.
And an even better analogy would be him setting up a Coke machine beside a building that would take people's money, but not give them a bottle of Coke. They have a word for that. It's called fraud.
"It's not my fault these suckers leave their wallets in their back pockets where they're so easy to get at. I'm just taking money from the stupid ones."
Ah, why don't you RTFA and read the parent post and say that again. This ass-clown wasn't sentenced for spamming, he was commiting fraud. Then he threatened to kill people and burn down buildings. What part of that do you support?
I'd say in this case there most certainly WAS a connection between spamming and "real crime". And just because lawmakers are slow to respond and put laws into place to prevent spamming doesn't mean it isn't wrong.
I wish I was part of the conspiracy so I could go take that alien space ship they have hidden at Area 51 and leave the planet as soon as possible
Woah, woah, woah! Are you saying they leave the keys in that puppy? If so, I am SO off this planet.
Also, now the Art Bells of the world can now say "See? A physics Ph.D. who knows people involved with HAARP has confirmed the existence of alien spacecraft at Area 51!" You just can't win with those people.
so that they can bomb whoever is threatening our precious bodily fluids
Awesome reference, if I only had mod points today. Purity of essence indeed. LMAO

HAARP Amping It Up
·
· Score: 1
Troops collapsing bridges by marching in time is a myth, or at best a weak excuse for a poorly constructed bridge.
What makes more sense is using the HAARP array to pump energy into a section of the ionosphere so that you create a standing wave in the medium of the ionosphere, which will vibrate at the same frequency as human brain wave patterns
Awesome! So if I stick a tuning fork that resonates at the brain wave pattern frequency up my butt while wearing a tinfoil hat (NOT aluminum!) I'll be safe right?
On less sarcastic note (ha ha), where did you come up with the fairy tale about killing fish with sub-sonic sound waves? a) Fish hearts beat on average between 60 and 240 BPM. Thats would be 60Hz-240Hz, which is easily within the "sonic" range of frequencies. b) How do you make the leap from "sub-sonic" audio waves to VHF EM radio waves?
Ok, I'm anti-Iraq war, and anti-Dubya, but that is just stupid reasoning. "White phosphorus is bad because it burns people." Yeah, it's used to burn the crap out of people and things, and to create very thick smokescreens. News flash: a 5.56mm round isn't designed to tickle, and hand grenades aren't just a nice way to say "hi". As I've said before, all explosives are chemicals. So are they chemical weapons? No. And neither is WP. Chemical weapons are nerve agents, souped up insecticides, and they are orders of magnitude more lethal than explosives or WP.
The military's job is to break things and hurt people. Do a search on XM1028. It's a 120mm shotgun shell for an M-1 Abrams tank. You think being in front of one of those is more or less preferable to WP? It's ALL bad. We shouldn't be in Iraq, but we are. Blaming the troops for employing weapons and tactics that they're trained with is the worst kind of stupid.
Did I say that Stalin's regime was good? Or even not as bad as history says? No. I said that the U.S. wasn't even close to having the most casualties (combat losses, soldiers or total) of the Allies and claiming so is what is ignorant. Like it or not, the Soviets WERE a member of the Allies. See Lend-Lease or the (in)famous photo of FDR, Churchill and Stalin if you have any questions. Did the U.S. trust Stalin? Hell no. But they were fighting a common enemy, and they WERE allied.
Mothmar! I had several of your starship lasers.:) Your points exactly mirror my experience with the "combat revamp" and now the NGE. JTL kept me interested for awhile, but when I left I never looked back.
No, I think Russia has the U.S. beat hands down for combat casualties. 7 to 8 MILLION Russian soldiers died. Of course their combat strategies sometimes resembled "jam enemy tank treads with bodies", but that is beside the point. And yes Virginia, the Commie Pinko Russkies were on the Allied side (gasp) against Herr Hitler and friends.

How can you say he shouldn't be imprisoned for defrauding people? It's a classic con-man scheme, and guess what? It's illegal!
And an even better analogy would be him setting up a Coke machine beside a building that would take people's money, but not give them a bottle of Coke. They have a word for that. It's called fraud.
Gee, really?
"At first glance you think "6 years for spam...damn that's harsh". Then you read what else he did and you think "damn, only 6 years"?,"
I bolded the revelant section for your ease of reading. You're welcome.
"It's not my fault these suckers leave their wallets in their back pockets where they're so easy to get at. I'm just taking money from the stupid ones."
Yeah that's gonna fly in court.

Not to mention the death threats and threats of arson. I'd say 6 years is pretty light.

And it smells like gunpowder and some astronauts had an allergic reaction to it.
If there was oil on the Moon, there'd already be a government-sponsored Halliburton-built space pipeline to low Earth orbit.
And unless you're dealing with ionizing radiation, you can't "irradiate" the ground.
After WWII, Stalin starting killing a LOT of his own citizens. He was nuttier than a s*%&house rat and he had total power.
_ and_deportations for how much fun a dictatorship can be. I never said Russia had a halo on its head, but it WAS a member of the Allies in WWII.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin#Purges
But that would be harming the Moon's environment! What's the emote for rolling eyes?

Of course with that logic, PETN, RDX and TNT are chemicals that are used in weapons too. So all explosives are chemical weapons in your definition?
