  1. Re:I am Positive, this cant work... on Physicist Trying To Send a Signal Back In Time · · Score: 1

    In case you were serious. Have a read about quantum entanglement. It's a bit like the way a twin will instantly know when the other one is getting laid. ... or something.

  2. Lens Hood on First Super Close-Up Pictures of Mars · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The pictures of the camera being used feature a lens hood with coverage on only one side. This confuses me. Surely when the camera is pointing down, as in the illustration, and the satellite is orbiting, the lens hood would need shield light to protect from flares at all angles (like a conventional camera's lens hood). Anyone care to shoot me down and explain?

  3. Re:A Similar idea on Liquid Armor the New Bulletproof Vest · · Score: 1

    haha, still not sure I fancy those odds! Interestingly though (and I'm not sure why I'm continuing it in this thread) I wonder if anyone has considered how far bullets are apart. If one bullet hits, the material goes solid for an instant, then another bullet hits while it's solid - SMASH!?

  4. Re:Corn Starch on Liquid Armor the New Bulletproof Vest · · Score: 1

    The last experiment on that video is crazy, finger-like protrutions?!

  5. A Similar idea on Liquid Armor the New Bulletproof Vest · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The problem is not only the bullet's ability to pierce the armour, but the energy it transfers through the armour. This company : http://www.d3o.com/ use a similar technique but instead of leaving it as liquid, they treat it in a way which turns it into a foam structure. I beat the crap out of a friend's elbows and knees with a shovel while he was wearing d30 stuff, and he didn't feel a thing. It's quite amazing.

  6. Re:What is british spam like, anyway? on Email Bomber Faces Retrial · · Score: 1

    Let's not forget where spam get's it's name from, the rather British Monty Python.

  7. Re:no loss really on Konica Minolta Quits Photography Market · · Score: 1

    I'll be flying a flag for Fuji Provia for a while yet. I take photos in some rather demanding light conditions (on winter mountain photography) and although I shoot digital for many clients, the way Provia handles the blues in the midtones and shadows is still unique.

  8. Great Stuff on Homemade Digital Cameras · · Score: 1

    I really like the style of your work, I wish I had your enthusiasm. You might be interested in my mate, Angus's work - http://www.serratedimage.com/
