  1. The way I see it is that any communication traveling ftl and going back in time would reach a point of equilibrium. By this I mean that the time it took to travel "x" distance would not have passed there by making that part of the journey instantaneous. Once the signal reached this point its entire journey would be instant and therefore causality would not be affected. If you want to dispute this remember I have the IQ of toast.
  2. indeed. Luck there are no close threats like this. I cant see a lead umberela ever being fashionable.
  3. Saying why doesn't silicon evolve into a camera is like saying why doesn't a rock evolve into a house.
  4. Thanks for that I'll go buy an apple tree imediatey. When you say scratch do you have to pierce the skin or just scrape the surface.
  5. I don't know if this has been said but a patent only covers you worldwide for 12 months then its a free for all. Make sure you are in a good position before you release any info. World wide patents have to be arranged country by country using their own process and some will stall you as long as they can to get it off you. It costs a fortune so you would want t be making plenty from as close to day one as you can. Have a solicitor draw up a disclosure agreement for people to sign before they even view your idea. Make the patent as general as they will allow to cover you against people making minor changes to get round your patent.
  6. yes its true Its due to the convection of the water. Using the temp difference to drive the circulation and allowing the water to cool evenly. Cold water freezes first at its outer surfaces and the ice then insulates the still liquid water. You can make ice cubes faster this way too, try it.
  7. Touch or proximity keys with an induction loop powered transmitter.
  8. I would expect sound might be usefull. Although the satelite breaking orbit after using a high power laser would be very visible.
  9. Its all down to cost at manufacture. A unit that does all is cheaper to make and install than simple hard wired units for each function. It also means you have to go to the manufacturer for service in a lot of cases.
  10. To get this straight, you just want to convert a square wave into a constant volts out thats related to the frequency of the wave. How much tolerance can you accept including ripple.
  11. Provided they are not attached to the cars in anyway they would continue at the same speed. Inertia.
  12. Mine is Manuel from the British tv show Fawltey Towers. Its just to ensure that nobody gets any silly ideas that I actualy have any "knowledge" stuck in my skull.
  13. I'm just nosey and want to know/understand how everything works. Shame I'm too thick to figure it all out, it drives me nuts.
  14. Thanks for the info. I think the bat table sounds good. I will construct one and try it. To the bat cave, carefully.
  15. I think its great. Clear, easy to use and good features. I still can't use chat but thats probably something I've done on my machine.
  16. But at least this might get the attention of someone who has.
  17. You can get data log types if you just want to know an objects movements but you need periodic access to the object to get at the data. These are gps based and record a set of coordinates at set time intervals.
  18. I did wonder as it was constant innuendo all the way through, but with the likes of sponge bob I would not rule anything out.
  19. Two friends were out drinking when suddenly one lurched backward off his barstool and lay motionless on the floor. "One thing about Jim," his buddy said to the bartender, "he knows when to stop."
  20. A tourist in Vienna is going through a graveyard and all of a sudden he hears some music. No one is around, so he starts searching for the source. He finally locates the origin and finds it is coming from a grave with a headstone that reads: Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770-1827. Then he realizes that the music is the Ninth Symphony and it is being played backward! Puzzled, he leaves the graveyard and persuades a friend to return with him. By the time they arrive back at the grave, the music has changed. This time it is the Seventh Symphony, but like the previous piece, it is being played backward. Curious, the men agree to consult a music scholar. When they return with the expert, the Fifth Symphony is playing, again backward. The expert notices that the symphonies are being played in the reverse order in which they were composed, the 9th, then the 7th, then the 5th. By the next day the word has spread and a throng has gathered around the grave. They are all listening to the Second Symphony being played backward. Just then the graveyard's caretaker ambles up to the group. Someone in the group asks him if he has an explanation for the music. "Don't you get it?" the caretaker says incredulously......... ............... "He's decomposing."
  21. Who in the uk remembers rainbow the childrens tv show and how disgustingly filthy it was. http://rainbow.arch.scriptmania.com/rainbow_tv_episode.html Even if your not from the uk you may still like this.
  22. Sorry figured it now. If there are no results it just throws stuff up at random or something. It does work if it has a good match. Sorry.
  23. When I do a search I get results unrelated to the keyword. Any ideas, is it something I do wrong.
  24. Does any one know of anything that helps with back problems caused by the nerve branch in the center of the back around the bottom rib area. I have problems from the past when driving an Avensis too far for too long too often. I still have problems now even with a better seat. Could exercises make the area stronger ( my own muscles shreaded my back when it was bad though )?
  25. Thanks sayo.
