Force requires energy, and the only energy being put into the system is rotational, therefore the only force is rotational, and everything else that appears to be a force is simply some aspect of momentum (which is merely an energy state, not a force unto itself)
You totally misunderstood me, and got oddly defensive of ABS (and abusive of me) for some reason.
I never said ABS was bad (or in any way worse than non-abs) it's just incompatible with the braking style that people learn to use on non-abs cars, and leads to a longer braking distance that you would have otherwise gotten using that same technique with non-abs brakes
Obviously ABS is better, IF you know the car has it, and IF you can control your reflexes well enough to use it right. For someone that grew up without ABS, the reflex is to pump the brake pedal, which makes the ABS less effective.
I'm sure cost is a factor in buying ABS, but how do you explain the people who buy the full-featured deluxe model of a car, and then specifically request that it be non-ABS. Or the people who intentionally remove the ABS function from their car?
ABS is dangerous to people who learned to drive without it. The normal technique of locking and releasing the brakes by pumping the pedal doesn't work, because the brakes never lock in the first place, so all you end up doing is repeatedly letting go of the brake for no reason.
The only time I have ever slid though a stop sign in the snow was in an ABS vehicle.
This is why they still offer cars with a "no ABS" option
Actually, the force that is pushing you against the seat is centripetal force, not centrifugal force.
Centripetal force is the force of the chair pushing against you, because it's attached to the center and must travel in a circle (angular acceleration). Centrifugal force is the force that wants to send you and the seat flying off in a straight line (linear momentum). The only real force is the angular one, because there is a motor making the seat spin, everything else is just conservation of momentum.
When there is a force fighting against linear momentum, you get pressure. It's the same thing thing as getting pushed back in your seat in a fast car, except this time it's linear acceleration fighting linear momentum.
Its a Mercedes-Benz. After the one-percenter who originally ordered it is done with it, it gets sold to a limo company, who spends the next 5 years driving it into the ground.
It then gets shredded and recycled for the 10 tons of scrap steel that it contains.
This might be a possible solution to food allergies as well, since allergies are immune related. I don't know where exactly allergies are "stored" in the body, but it's possible that a regenerated immune system might make the problem less severe, or even solve the problem entirely.
Bus planners use this data to adjust their existing permanent routes, which only change a few times per year.
This system sounds like it's more dynamic, so when a whole bunch of people are talking about going to sporting event, they can add extra routes for the stadium for that day. Or add more routes to the beach on days when it's hot outside and people are talking about going to the beach.
It ends up being somewhere between a bus and a taxi.
They already thought of this. "Network access" and "internet access" aren't the same thing, and having access to "a network" doesn't imply access to the "the internet"
They are FORCING their tenants to pay for the access to the internet (whether they want it or not) and now they want to turn around and FORCE the internet to pay for access to their tenants?
It requires too much power on general-purpose hardware like a PC to be even remotely profitable. But it is still profitable with specialized hardware and a cheap enough electricity rate.
During every gold rush throughout history, there is always one group of people who are guaranteed to make money, regardless of the actual gold supply, and that is the merchants selling the equipment to the miners.
Looking at the complete torrent list, the oldest torrent was uploaded April 15 2014, which means that the site has been running for the past month and a half without anybody finding out about it.
Trademark the letter "E" followed by a period. That way, anytime someone uses the letter E, whether it's the letter alone or as part of another word, you can sue them for trademark infringment.
I know tons of people who understand evolution, yet view it as some sort of "God process" instead of a natural process. They think that it only happened because God made it happen, and not because of natural evolutionary pressures.
That's the thing with Christians, no matter how much you try to show them that they are wrong, they will always come back with "well, it only happened that way because God wanted it to happen that way"
Natural disaster kills thousands? "Part of God's Plan." Your first child is stillborn? "God's Plan again." Priest gets caught having sex with the choir boys? "God told him to do it"
In order to simulate a human brain at the atomic level, first we would have to know exactly which chemicals are in a real brain, and we don't even know that much yet.
Trying to model a human brain in a computer in order to build an AI is like trying to build a mechanical horse in order to get around faster. While it isn't impossible, it's neither practical nor necessary. You can make a machine that bears no resemblance whatsoever to the original biological version, and it will still accomplish the same task.
However, if you COULD find a way to exactly duplicate the entirety of an existing human brain, down to the atomic level, then that model should behave exactly as the original person would (to the point where the simulation actually thinks it IS that person) and you would have found the secret to immortality (or something very close to it).

The way that analogy was written, it almost looked like rap lyrics
You don't listen to streaming music, do you?
I used to have a hard time staying within 5 gig per month.
Now that I have unlimited 4G, I can stream TV too, so I use 200+ gig per month
Nobody reads the TOS anyway
Only in the school-owned dorms and on the campus itself (through wifi)
Most students live too far away from campus to get campus internet at home
They already thought of this. "Network access" and "internet access" aren't the same thing, and having access to "a network" doesn't imply access to the "the internet"
This would be more like the apartment complex demanding that you have to pay extra to drink out of a yellow cup instead of a red cup
They are FORCING their tenants to pay for the access to the internet (whether they want it or not) and now they want to turn around and FORCE the internet to pay for access to their tenants?

Considering the amount of energy it takes to actually produce dry ice, you would probably end up releasing more CO2 than what you captured.
Not to mention the pollution from the rocket launch.
