This jacket's noisy sparking takes away its "shock" value. The attacker will see or hear the arcs and know that the jacket is "another one of those shock jackets". How does this thing survive against a loaded water pistol?
A version of this jacket where the sparks and sounds are for show only would make for some swank club attire. You've probably seen those bottles in the stores where you can make the multi-colored-lightning bolts dance around where your finger touch the bottle. A jacket of this type would illuminate bike riders and be fashionable and fun to wear.
I sampled the bottle in front of me and the lobotomy and I recommend the latter.
I avoid cleaning the inside of my computer. I want my computer to die of old age as soon as it will. I would like to buy a new computer but the thing will not die. I know that there is one monster dust devil whipping around inside my case. My CPU should be overheating. I also know that the thing is 4 years old and needs to be replaced. Who cares if I spent $5,000 on it. I could buy a brand new one that is 10 times better in every way for $500. I hope the dust clobbers this thing. I wish I lived in a dustier place. I will have to stop taking baths. I will have to get a kitty or two.
Does anybody have plans to turn a PC into a HEPA filtration device? mine would be great because you would never have to change the filter.
The universe is twice the size now that it once was.
From my point of view with the Earth spinning on it's axis and going around the sun and the sun spinning about some black hole in the center of the Milky Way and the Milky way flying through space and everything expanding or at some time contracting and all, I think a perpetual motion machine would be just about any kind of machine imaginable, including the basic wheel or wedge.
Now a machine that was not in perpetual motion, that would be an amazing thing!
I've always been told that there is a surprisingly large amount of space between electrons and their nucleii. So If we could just remove all the electrons of whatever we wanted to ship to space and then reconstitute them after reaching space...
Yes. To move a small text file. The first floppy I used, although fresh and ununused from the case, goes into the circular file. The second worked. I also used my USB device to move a large database. I also used my friends USB device that has a removable floppy shaped sub-postage-stamp-sized removable camera widget that held 64meg. I figure you could make a necklace of these 64 or 128 meg postage stamp sized deals. It might make your girl friend GIGgle. Haw haw haw.
I watched the local news and they spoke of 70 people visiting emergency rooms after coming in contact with debris. They said that they had no symptoms to report. What does this mean? People go to the emergency room without symptoms or is there something being held back? What sort of symptoms would one expect to have after coming in contact with some hypergolic fuel?
If the tiny pieces of material are toxic to the touch how toxic is the huge cloud of vaporized shuttle parts? This cloud could certainly travel around the world.
I noticed that someone posted here from carbon60. Were there buckyballs on board? Will a cloud of buckyballs released at high altitudes contribute to global warming? How long before a buckyball dropped at say 200,000 feet hits the ground? What is the terminal velocity of a buckyball? Is it like a penny dropped off the empire state building flattening a cab?
Is this an environmental disaster? FEMA was called in early on this. The radar images show a huge cloud that stretched for hundreds of miles. Some of the debris may have stayed in the jet stream where will it go.
What happens if some birds eat some of the debris? Will it then be toxic to it's hunter?
I saw pictures of officials picking up debris using what appeared to be standard latex gloves. Shouldn't they be using something more chemical resistant like PVC gloves?
What about plutonium? is there any plutonium? I haven't seen anywhere where NASA has come out stating there is no plutonium in use anywhere on the shuttle. What other radioactive substances were aboard?
What about these tiles? Are the tiles toxic too? Many ceramic materials are toxic. If you vaporize a ceramic shuttle tile and someone in a room with toxic ceramic shuttle tile dust in the air will it make that person sick?
I am going on and on but I get the feeling that this topic has been squelched. I don't like hearing about people going to the ER when they don't have any symptoms.
Yes. A programmer's editor such as KEDIT and a scripting language such as KEXX can be used to generate programs that would otherwise be undoable by an individual. Everything pulled in by a browser has to get the content and render it. One has only to write a single template for each object pulled in, there are bound to be characteristics in every object that map to all objects. A few changes to each object and wow, you have a browser.
I have written programs in KEXX that GENERATE programs in other languages from Databases that run 100s of times faster than having to query the values from the database. I have written these programs in hours, then used them to generate programs that are 200,000 lines or more. These sorts of programs take about 5 minutes to generate on a Pentium II.
At this rate, I suppose I (a seasoned professiona) am better than this rookie programmer kid, since I can code 32 MILLION LINES OF CODE PER DAY at this rate (on an old pc)!
America is "the land of the free" (at least it used to be a free country before we started walling ourselves in with laws, taxes, television, air conditioning, and plain laziness). Guns are the symbols of freedom, the last vestiges of our God given unalienable rights to persue happiness.
Yes and here is another thing they are doing. eBay has policies in place that make it illegal to sell something outside of eBay. Example, I see that inkseller is selling my brand of ink on eBay at $25. eBay does not want me to go direct to inkseller and offer him $25 because they won't get their comish. It is against the policy. Up till now, eBay had no way to enforce it. Now, eBay will be able to see (and stop!) all the extra-auction transactions.
