No, it will harness the POTENTIAL energy change in the compression of the floor plates by a distance D with force F. The energy lost by the person and gained by the floor (neglecting efficiency losses) would then be F * D.
In one of my college physics labs we used Play Doh for fine tuning our experiments with small mass additions. COLLEGE level physics class and without fail every student cant put the cap back on, and we all know how that dries out. So I guess what Im saying is some of us have forgotten basic 5 year old common curtesy, But Play Doh is awesome.
Alright mod me offtopic, but if/. just took the beta tags and if dupe showed up after a certain number of tags, or however they calculate it, have the story minimize to the non popular story size thats in between main stories, I dont want dupes deleted but this would be a simple soultion that would get them out of the limelight.
Ever since my watch battery ran out and I didnt get another, Ive found Im really good at knowing the time without one, clocks are everywhere so you can recalibrate when you enter a building etc, also when I used to work outside, I became very adept at knowing the time by the position of the sun, (the one thing that Daylight savings fucks up when the time changes, I bet farmers are pissed too).
Anyways, im not knocking your habit of collecting time telling devices, just saying you already have a fairly accurate one built in.

Bad summary, Bad
For a second I thought it was the other V2.
I'd buy that for $250
Put the GOD DAMN CAP BACK ON.

Oh THAT sun. Nevermind.
We get bacon with worms?
I think someone didn't run this by marketing.
I'd hate to see you fill out a Final Four bracket.

1.2 PB is all well and good until you format it and the fucker only has 300 Gigs.

AARP, meet LARP. You two have fun now.
Its called a video card, it costs near twice as much, and you get the joy of replacing it 2-3 times more often.
Oh and you can thank the computer industry for fucking that one up.
It's Less-Lethal, not Non-Lethal
Looks like you trolls need to get with the times.
heh.

FUCK!
This time around it will be not so close to the horizon when it is visable, look to the west, it will be the brightest object in the sky.
Good thing The Speaker of the House didnt use TypePad!
Probably something like this (Yes I just did this too)
