While/. was down I checked out Digg, and, not to be a troll, but it was... time wasted.
I saw pictures of a baby antelope being killed by baby cheetah. Yeah, I really learned alot.
Yeah, I think saying "Tesla proved..." was a little strong. Sorry. However, the idea is quite interesting, but would never go anywhere, because most corporations are only in it for the money, not the betterment of society...
I thought it was 1-1.5 seconds per every 10 MPH of the speed limit. 45 MPH zone = ~4-6 seconds.
I know that falls within the limit you found, but I think the MPH dictates the length of the yellow.
That wouldn't explain the change in direction of some of the rock paths. Do you know of any other similar phenomena caused by the earths rotation? Its a very interesting theory! =)
Be careful! Make sure that when you hover over the "X" button, a hand doesn't come up (meaning it's a link)! I've seen those before. I'll just use task manager at that point. Evil Evil!
Depending on what the power/weight ratio is, I bet you could take 3 or 4 of these and put them at the corner of a triangle or a rectangle, and you would have your flying thing... Looking at the simplicity of his contraption, I think it would take less than 6 months of R n D to get it up and running!
heh.. That reminds me of what happened while I was on my vacation last week... (kinda of OT)
Me and my wife were in Hileah FL, and looking for a target (We needed a ground cloth for our tent), so my wife typed in "Target" into the GPS. It took us off the highway, and we left then right then left and before we knew it we were in the Hispanic district, which wasn't a big deal, except all the signs were in Spanish. Well, when it said we were arriving at "Target" we didn't see anything. My thought was that there was another small business with the same name.
Luckily, the GPS got us back to the Highway, and we got down to the Keys without incident, but we never quite trusted the GPS after that. I will say they are still super useful though, but just be wary...
You can buy it now at pretty much any supermarket. But I'm sure if more people did that and saw the consistency of it, people would think twice about having it in their food. All I can think of is the SNL clip when Hans and Frans did Liposuction to Rosanne Bar.
No, this technology actually looks useful. Have you ever seen the real world MPG of a hybrid? Its a huge waste of resources and a concept born out of "environmental" incentives. The average MPG of a Prius is about 40. Guess what the average MPG is of a non-hybrid VW TDI (turbo diesel)? 50. Yep, 50 MPG. That, and you can convert a diesel to run on vegetable oil!
I'm curious. Has anyone ever checked to see what type of number comparison would show if you tested a Prius against, say, a TDI Golf? It would be nice to know, how much more or less crude oil was needed to keep a Pruis going. Actually, let me know if you know of any comparison.
Sorry to be so off topic, but I think this should be something/. should discuss.
Why really, is it illegal to buy a new TDI in California, and the other states that choose to follow California (Maine being one of them....)
If spotting and tracking these things is the issue, I wonder if a SETI@HOME type setup would help. Use the collective resources of thousands of PCs to do the number crunching for a lot less money. I'm sure you could set it up to track all incoming asteroids, and check the trajectory of each to see which ones we should worry about.
I'm curious is this approach has been looked at before...
I'm sorry if I came off trollish, but I smelled an odor of sarcasm where, apparently, there was none.
My faith allows me to give more credence than most to what the Bible says. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as "The assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld." The "not beheld" part is what a lot of people have a problem with. I get a lot of flack for having that Faith, and was getting defensive, where apparently I didn't need to.
I didn't quote that scripture to say the end time was during my lifetime, because I'm willing to admit that it might not be, but your attitude is matched in that scripture quite well. And, eventually, when that time comes, there will be people with that same attitude, but that won't prevent the end from coming.
Armageddon is coming on God's timetable, and no one else's.
As to my belief that I am living in the time of the end, there are multiple prophesies in Revelation and Daniel and Isaiah that point to a time that uniquely matches our own.
As to your "good points"... Inflammatory statements made to elicit a heated response are not good points. Quoting scripture, I find, is a great way to diffuse what could be a heated argument...
If I could prove to you that God was actually a truly loving God, would you care?
The only reason I ask, is to make sure I'm not wasting my time.
If you do care, and you aren't just arguing for the sake of arguing, I'll address your questions.
1 Peter 3:3 For YOU know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires 4 and saying: "Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep [in death], all things are continuing exactly as from creation's beginning."
5 For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice, that there were heavens from of old and an earth standing compactly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God; 6 and by those [means] the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water. 7 But by the same word the heavens and the earth that are now are stored up for fire and are being reserved to the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men.

If Google is slow, then the CNN website is DEAD!
That site is horrendous!
Just don't get yourself killed. =)
Ditto. Already on their website . Click on the HDMI link on the left side. Its really interesting.
This guy is no fool!

This might help.
Tesla proved you can use the Earth as a transmission medium. Wires are not necessary. They are however if you don't want to share.

Stop being such a killjoy!

I'm guessing your a programmer...
So you should have just said "Bad syntax or error"
Where do you live, and what do you charge for shipping???

Woohoo!
Then there's always the MoSW(Ministry of Silly Walks). I'm sure that would solve everything! You can't fire an AK if you are laughing your a** off! =)

Eww.
You must be starving, or have a good co-op around where you live. 90% of the stuff I see now a days has HFCS.

Please accept my apologies.

Plus, I promise not to kill your family! =)
