  1. Idea to test time on Physicist Claims Time Has a Geometry · · Score: 0

    Take a very accurate counter and insert it into a baby after birth. Wait 30 years and then take whatever day it is and subtract the DOB to get how old they are supposed to be. Then check the counter and compare the two times. Since the counter would always be relative with the person you would get a pretty accurate age. If the two values vary much then you can assume that all these years you have been driving like a bat out of hell really does make a difference!

    To save face for the rest of us that know, I must point out that plain suicide doors are not ricey and have been around a long time. Copying the lambo, scissor doors, and most all others are the ricey ones. The rest is dead on!

    I have not use any of those searches this year. I goto wikipedia, but never use google to get there. Im actually glad none of my searches ended up on the list.

  7. Re:Different types of myths? on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 0

    I recall one episode where they were trying to determine if a yawn was contagious or not. I would consider this a phycological experiment. But I really wasn't satisfied with their conclusions. I have already pondered about yawning before this episode. I concluded that yawns can be contagious depending on the circumstances. For instance, experiments using my dog show that when she is in a happy playful mood and I yawn then she will unlikely yawn too, but if its late in the evening and she's tired I can easily get her to yawn a couple of times but yawning in front of her. Science is so awesome!

  8. Apparently they don't know. on Amazon Tries Its Hand at Tagging · · Score: 0

    I asked my uncle Tom, cousin Dick, and a guy that works at a convienence store named Harry about tags. None of them know what tags are or why their used. Maybe this will take longer to catch on than speculated.

  10. i dont get it on Wi-Fi Times Sixteen · · Score: 0

    I don't understand. Scrolling through today's news I see three post dealing with increasing broadband access using extenders, power lines, and repeaters. But I still live in the sticks and still don't have any broadband access(except satelite option). All the big cities are the ones getting wifi first, bellsouth isn't going to spend all the money on dsl repeaters to put in rural area hick towns with only a few thousand people, and niether of the local isp's is willing to setup a wisp. They act like they care about the less fortunate(old, low quality lines) getting broadband in areas away from cities, but then end up keeping the technology for themselves.

  13. too far behind on Linux Based CarPC · · Score: 1

    I've been wanting to put a linux pc in my truck since 1999. I am in the process of building a mini-truck and am planning on intergrating a linux pc into it. I just haven't had the time or funds to finish it, so its taking me a while. It will be made to fit along with a custom sheet metal dash with plenty of monitors for viewing pleasure. I have ideas and the know how to automate alot more than you think you can on a vehicle. Sorry this is so vague, I gotta keep my good ideas for my project to myself or else someone will steal them.
