  1. just because you seen a reference to soda bottles exploding at 120 PSI is no reason not to have some form of shield for 80 PSI
  2. "Mechanical engineers, they like it dirty"
  3. umm... have you got a router or something inbetween your PC and the modem?
  4. it all boils down to the same
  5. i don't know about it dying but it would certainly have a lot of psychological problems. i mean lack of interaction will cause even grownups to go insane.
  6. heh yeah i heard that one too. it made me go download more.
  7. its all to do with vapour pressures equilibriums and intermolecular bonds. if that was gobbledygook for youthen here is an explaination(umm sp? it looks wrong) Water has what is called a 'non zero vapour pressure' even when its ice if its above a certain temperature. this means that a little bit will evapourate. this means that it will evapourate until the partial pressure(also known as pp. it is how much of the total pressure the particles of that particular substance are responsible for.) of itself in the atmosphere is the same as its vapour pressure and it will be in equilibrium. this doesn't happen in the atmosphere. its effectively an open system. if you do it in a lttle box then you will see the effect. water, and all other substances, boil when their vapour pressure becomes greater than the local atmospheric pressure. if the pressure does not rise then it will all boil away, if it does then some may remain liquid. the vapour pressure is dependant on the temperature(hotter the greater) and intermolecular bonds(bonds between molecules, stronger the smaller). this is why diferent substances boil at different temps. Freezing is when the temperature falls low enough so that the intermolecular bonds can hold the molecules steady and they can't move.
  8. tea has a lot of different nutrients in it especially with milk added. the boiled sweet would provide sugars necessary to keep the body going. most drugs have little to no nutritional value although they can provide energy when metabolized. morphine would have no life sustaining effects as the dosage require for the body to get a decent amount of energy out of it would be lethal. she probably lost weight during this time burning fat reserves? they tend to store a lot of nutrients.
  9. well it would be false colour if the colour was added in later. like the old photographs and film where colour was added.
  10. were you reading a nasa article before it?
  11. umm i don't see it reffered to as a false colour image assuming you mean this thread. although the picture does look like its 256-colour which just means it uses 256 different colours.
  12. it means that the picture is either taken outside the range of human vision(UV or IR) or that it has been edited for greater visibility of certain aspects (mineral locations, gaseous composition, umm ok i don't really know what else but i'm sure nasa does.)
  13. i took that to mean that it needs to use an energy source that is free as in available without charge.
  14. iron complexed with the haemoglobin and oxygen is the cause of our red blood. copper could be the cause but i would have thought that would give a blueish blood. its entirely possible that other chemicals in the blood can cause the colouration. i mean why should vulcans have the same biochemistry as us earthlings.
  15. so basically your making a rubber band electric generator. have fun with that. you could also argue that with using oil to fuel a generator, you are using potential energy to create electricity.
  16. supposedly 2nd quarter next year if i remember right
  17. oh its definitely not antigravity. its more like a rotorless helicopters. it still works by exchanging momentum with the air.
  18. we've been waiting for this game for a long time already. if it needs vista i'm going to be waging war on microsoft and bribe them to make a linux version with my plunder.
  19. what type of engine does the space shuttle use?
  20. http://www.eddiem.com/projects/chirp/chirp.htm ^ a fun little project. ultimately useless but fun none the less.
  21. biochemistry, chemistry that wiggles about and occasionaly has a kid.
  22. ummm... how did you work that out?
  23. thats a ten4 good buddy
  24. YT, yeah. you got to remember that there is a LOT more above you than below you. enough so it will equal whats below you even though its further away.
