    Wow, you read the first sentence, it is a start. Try reading the whole thing. Unless you live in the classical era or before, there is no force that pulls things towards to center of a spinning object. If you do live in the classical era, then good job with the time machine.

  3. Re:Immature and Gun Happy on Hunters Shot Down Google Fiber · · Score: 1

    You'd think so, but the US Military has bigger guns and bigger idiots, so revolt could never occur.

    Tell that to the British Colonial rulers.

    Is it perchance piloted by Amazonian princesses? If so I'm in

    Piloted by Linda Clark

  6. Re:This would scare the hell out of me on Airbus Planning Transparent Planes · · Score: 1

    That is where the invisibility cloak would come in handy. You could also use mirrors, but stay away from using smoke, that would probably cause a bit of panic.

  7. Re:This would scare the hell out of me on Airbus Planning Transparent Planes · · Score: 1

    I can probably manage the task of jumping off a cliff. Just because I can does not mean I should.

  8. Re:This would scare the hell out of me on Airbus Planning Transparent Planes · · Score: 1

    I have a fear of slamming my body into an effectively immovable object. Maybe I am just a scardy cat since I have multiple skull fractures and concussions from doing said activity. Would that be called "Rapid Acceleratiaphobia"?

    this is /.
    You must explain what centrifugal force is (see Centripetal force).

    Photo voltaic glass might help. You could even wire it so it becomes completely opaque either in it's entirety or in parts. Touch of a button causes a window to appear.

  11. When did they start this ploy? on Afghan Government Turns To Iran For Internet · · Score: 1

    War it Cyrus or Xerxes?

  12. Re:They're gonna feel like... on Facing Oblivion, Island Nation Makes Big Sacrifice · · Score: 1

    Precicely 0? A large meteor/comet strike on the south pole would likely sink them. The tide sinks a lot of islands daily, perhaps we should blow up the moon. Of course we should do this in an environmentally friendly way.

  13. Re:They're gonna feel like... on Facing Oblivion, Island Nation Makes Big Sacrifice · · Score: 1

    Do you really need to be a scienst to verify that indead the island is no longer ave the waves? I would guess Indian bakers could adequately verify this.

  14. Re:Accordians:hunting::the french:war on Facing Oblivion, Island Nation Makes Big Sacrifice · · Score: 2, Insightful

    adding insult to injury, pulling fish (and nets) out of the water brings water with them. this water evaporates helping form additional clouds that can reflect light from the sun and also help cool the earth. OH, the humanity!!!

  15. Re:Oh well... on Construction of French Fusion Reactor Underway · · Score: 1

    The sun generates enough that the losses are probably acceptable. Eventually we can work on a Dyson Swarm

  16. Re:Oh well... on Construction of French Fusion Reactor Underway · · Score: 1

    Why not use the vacuum of space instead of trying to create our own on the Earths surface. Oh yea. "We already got one you silly Frech kah-numskuls."

    Ours is called Sol.

  17. Re:FIFTY-SIX on Astronomers Find Diamond Star 4,000 km Wide · · Score: 1

    We're splitting hairs....

    with that size diamond we could easily split heirs.

  18. Re:hmmm - The Bronze Age of Computers. on Video Games Lead To Quick Thinking Skills · · Score: 1

    Ah, the days of copying programs from the back of a magazine.

    Remember programming those TI calculators to play moon lander?

  19. Re:Is this a Godwin-invoking comment? on German Military Braces For Peak Oil · · Score: 1

    ...the remaining oil will be difficult enough to collect that it will require the expenditure of more than a gallon of oil to get a gallon of oil...

    You could use other sources of power that are less transportable (wind / solar / geothermal / nuclear / tidal etc...) to extract that gallon of oil.

  20. The bright lights of stardom on A Twinkie Deconstructed · · Score: 1

    Twinkie, Twinkie, little star. Do we really want to know what is in them? I have Pink Snowballs and Peeps available for snacking. I know they are not good for me so I eat them sparingly, but overall I do enjoy them blissfully ignorant of their content.

  21. Money for Nothin' on Police Called To Stop a Man Giving Away Money · · Score: 1

    I guess since food, shelter, medicine and many other "necessities/comforts" are a Germans God given right, why not give away your cash?

  22. Re:Amazing! on Aging Star System Leaves Strange Death Spiral · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it is a giant alien head that has been swirlied in a giant galactic toilet bowl (Black Hole). Oh wait every one knows aliens are bald.

    ... And we all know what'll happen next.

    Good thing we have sharks that can zap those buggers with their lasers. Hopefully the don't reproduce too fast.

    yeah but... the shuttle is COOL. It still draws a crowd on launch day.
