I once sent a critical report to my boss through a mail server with Anubis installed on it, but I guess it never got to him. He called me into his office and started yelling "WHERE'S MY REPORT!!". I tried to explain, but he just yelled back "AND DON'T TELL ME YOUR DOG ATE IT."
Definition: The lowest possible temperature allowed by the laws of thermodynamics. At this temperature, molecules would possess the absolute minimum kinetic energy allowed by quantum mechanics (the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle places a greater than zero lower limit on the kinetic energy of molecules). It is equivalent to -273.15C or 0K (kelvin). At absolute zero, the entropy of any system vanished.
You can try this for yourself. Get a little bitty electric motor. DC will work fine. An electric is basically the same as a generator, and if you turn the motor, it will generate an electric current.
Spin the thing by hand and see how easy it is to turn. Pretty easy. Now, short out the connections to the motor and you will find that it's considerably harder to turn it. There's some resistance to the turning there.
When you shorted out the leads on the motor (which is operating as a generator), you've increased the load on the generator from nothing to something very large. And, as that load increases, the generator gets harder to turn.
Since the frequency of AC power coming out of a generator is set by the speed at which the generator rotates, it's simple to see that if the load makes the generator harder to turn, it will slow down because of that load. That makes the frequency of the AC coming out go down.
Hybrid electrics are NOT a joke. What makes you think that you could make an even better hybrid if you had a little TDI engine in it?
Check out the Volkswagon Lupo. 90 MPG, without hybrid. Now, imagine cutting the size of that engine in half, and making it a hybrid. That'd probably push it over the 100 MPG mark, while cutting emissions. Pretty decent.
It's not possible to hit absolute zero because of something called Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
Absolute zero is then the atoms are not moving at all. It would be trivial then to know the position and speed at the same time, which is not possible.
I had a cordless telephone with a bad battery that would dial random numbers when the juice got too low. Sometimes the people would call back. Luckily it never dialed a phone sex operator in Barbados...
Sex and violence are treated out of proportion. In the US we crack down on sex, but violence slides by. Parents who would never let their children see boobies on TV will let their kids see a murder on TV. And they don't pay any attention to the parental notice labels.
In my opinion, there's no better parental notice than a healthy pair of C cups. This is a judo move. We take the parent's warped priorities (boobies are bad, violence is good) and use it to our advantage.
Every video game should come with a simple picture, doesn't have to be too large, of some breasts. Like this one. Doesn't have to be too racy, but it should be prominent on the front and back cover of the box, and on the startup screen for the game.
That ought to make it crystal clear to everyone concerned that SOME GAMES ARE NOT FOR KIDS. And if you're a parent who would give a game to your kid with a photograph of a nude woman right on the box, then you're a sucky parent who doesn't have the right to sue anyone for anything. I bet that would be an excellent defense in court too.
Goddamn, some people just can't watch their kids for a minute to see what they are playing. And a pair of boobies will definitely not deter me from buying a good game.
Is that my spotter calling out a new target? Why yes, yes it is. Just got to shift my sniper scope a little to the left. Not too far, SCO might not be dead yet.
You're right, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the Soyuz system and I wouldn't mind one bit if NASA started buying and flying them. Damn fine spacecraft.
I'm a big fan of capsules to go into space. There's no reason why a capsule can't be reusable. They sit on top of the rocket, the best place for a payload. A rocket can be attached to the top for an escape option. They are a lot cheaper. On and on. NASA can still work on reusable boosters, without having to change the basic capsule design.
1 Tesla is the same as 1 weber per square meter. The dictionary says
The unit of magnetic flux density in the International System of Units, equal to the magnitude of the magnetic field vector necessary to produce a force of one newton on a charge of one coulomb moving perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field vector with a velocity of one meter per second. It is equivalent to one weber per square meter.
question: Is that charge spoken of a static charge? If it is, how big is that charge compared to typical static charges?

I don't know about your house, but both floors of my house have air.
"I can see my /home from here!"

I hope someone saves that and finds a way to slip it into a fortune file somewhere.
According to the article, there is an FTC commissioner named Orson Swindle.

A capsule can be used more than once too, no reason that it can't. Even the ocean shouldn't be a problem. The Navy reuses ships all the time now.

Except for one thing: VMware. I need it on my laptop because we use Lotus Notes at work. The VMware drivers only work with 2.4 kernels now.
Yep, I run a sshd on port 443 as well as the default port, just for such an occasion. Only needed it once.
They kindly leave the firewall configured so I can SSH to my home machine and tunnel to my private proxy. Thanks boss!

No, not her. She's too 90's. The chick I'm looking for is blonder, and more 80's looking.
