with 1Gig RAM you would think it would be able to get you a cup of tea in the morining. although, according to the bible(hitchhikers guide to the galaxy) tea is one of the most computationally intense beverages. so maybe it does.
-
i've done something similar with an R/C plane but i haven't been able to get much more range for the camera than 350 ft with a boosted reciever(i was told the boosted transmitters are illegal) further ranges will recieve a signal but the error rate is far far too high to be usable and very intermitent.

GPRS capable phones should be reasonably low in price, try searching froogle or something. the phone should last 4 years regardless of the make. GPRS will be supported indefinately as of yet although it may be discontinued when 3G phones are more dominant and much lower in price.
-
well, WAP has been superceded by GPRS (just less than 56k speeds) which can view any web page and is pretty common in modern phones. a more up market and faster access is 3G i don't have a clue how fast it is as i only have GPRS.

just make a bigger bore cannon. you'll have to have a considerable thickness to the barrel though and probably have to use something with a bit more oomph than butane. also having a closed combustion chamber unlike my current cannon which has a small opening to inject the butane.
-
most if not all recent phones (last 5 years) will have some sort of WAP access to the internet. if you get a data cable for your phone (about £10) then you can connect your computer/laptop to the internet via the phone.

yeah trebuchets are pretty cool. This little linky will give you the mechanics behind the trebucet an will allow you to get the optimum design i prefer cannons personally

24 hour period to edit a post
insane_alien replied to Genecks's topic in Suggestions, Comments and Support
woelen, what about ninja posting? if someone submits a post at almost exactly the same time as some one else. if the person whos post got in first hppened to want to edit his last post cause he realised he done somethng stupid i.e. 1=2 and wanted to change it. the 6 hour limit is fine for me -
thats not fair, you said distance not displacement.
-
the neutral pin in the socket should be a ground. although if you prefer you can attach a wire to the ground pin on the plug and then tie it around a pipe that'll ground your compy.

Some form of sexual narcolepsy? could also have been a minor stroke or anurism caused by a spike in blood pressure.

spiders can drop from any height and not break a leg. their terminal velocity is very very low.

gluons: we KNOW these exist, they have been observed in particle colliders and are the carriers for the strong force. is falsifiable(if we didn't find a particle then it would be falsified) dark matter: so called because we're just not sure what it is. it could turn out to be cold hydrogen inbetween the stars and galaxies. it is falsifyable if we find an effect that explains dark matter away(gen relativity might do this). photons are elementary particles, although they could be considered to be a composed of an lectrical field and a magnetic field.

it couldn't happen, it would require the collaberation of all the worlds governments and that just wouldn't really happen. even if it is down to, "ahhh we hate the american infidels, we don't want to be like them, KEEP THE INTERNET!"
-
yeah thats pretty much it swansont.
-
why oh why am i doubting that this thing has more than a few hundered transistiors... for a clock frequency that fast the chip is probably tiny and wouldn't stand up against other chips with regards to FLOPS. still, it would be pretty cool to play something on a 500GHz chip no graphics card required, superb physics etc. etc.

[hide]31ft it drops off the starting wall crawls 30ft to cross the floor and 1 foot up the wall to tuck into fly guts, never heard this one before[/hide]

BINGO! EDIT: i suppose i should put some comment in here as well. You haven't said anything but, "i had a hallucination, i think there is a god. i think this god might be the universe" There are a lot of buzzwords in there that so not mean anything in science, or anywhere else. take "neurophoton field" as an example, this is nonsense. neuro- something in relation to neurons, photon a particle of light, and field can mean a lot of things. this doesn't add up to anything let alone conciousness, we have no idea how it works yet you claim that quantum physics explains it all. quantum physics explains a lot of things like how stuff interacts but it doesn't explain the source of conciousness.

KLB: the 9's continue for ever and ever so the 1 never shows up so the difference is 0.000... if the 1 never arises, therefore 0.999... = 1

Chav: Ned, hooligan. innit: colloquial abbreviation of "isn't it"

the coating on the mentos encourages the carbon dioxide dissolved in the drink to be released at a high rate. the fact that fizzy drinks are acidic also produces more carbon dioxide when it reacts with the carbonates on the mentos. EDIT: just done some research to check the mechanism. The carbon dioxide is in a super saturated solution as soon as you release the pressure. if left alone, the excess carbon dioxide will be released slowly and it will become flat. the surface of the mentos acts as a catalyst for the reaction CO2(aq) <-> CO2(g) since this situation is not at equlibrium, this results in the production of CO2(g) since this is catalysed, it goes fast.

Avast has issues with my PC(or vice versa) so i go with AVG.

See the thing about the superconductor gravity reducer thingumy bob. thats supposed to nullify the field so the external field is nullified or at least incredibly weak.
-
pressure wouldn't make any difference to the gravity experienced(the effect in water is a result of density and that still wouldn't do much beyond making you float again).
-
you could maybe have an earth mass black hole in the ship both to provide power and as a gravity source. the super conductor gravity reducing thing couldd be applied to the outside off the ship so stuff doesn't start orbiting the ship or starts flying towards you at 11 kilometers per second. EDIT:P just realised, the black hole would need to be less than earth mass since your closer to the center than here on earth.
