  1. I've read about some techniques, but pretty limited in terms of frequencies. Active camouflage is more realistic IMO.
  2. That is not the case. Most abortions occur by themselves.
  3. You'd be a walking blacklight
  4. It isn't needed(in this case). Just need to know from wherever Point 'a' is at to the nearest edge.
  5. No, the notes are correct for horizontal shear stress.
  6. Trump threatened to reveal what his Uncle really found in Tesla's papers.
  7. I think what you are seeing is due to a difference in polarity. Water is polar, Oil is non-polar. The physics are otherwise the same for both, atmospheric pressure counteracting gravity. Liquid wants to fall, air wants to get in. Water is like a group that hangs out together, while oil is more about going out and meeting those nice air molecules across the way. One idea would be to look at utilizing a number of smaller tubes at the end. Possibly higher viscosity(cooler in this case) oil could work as well. May also want to look at roughening up the tube's interior(or using tubes made of a different material).
  8. Mental Note: Wear suncreen while kayaking and 'enticing' the local wildlife.

      I can see youre from Orlando...I've been to the everglades once years ago. The mosquitoes were a nightmare <-- This is I will keep telling myself while walking from work this afternoon in the dark, wet cold ;)

      I put a heavy dose of factor 50 on during high summer (one of the few hot days)for an all day bike ride. Came back looking diseased with flys and midges encrusted onto me and glued on by the sunscreen - It was not pretty

      No harm in a little extra protein, imatfaal ;)

  9. I was thinking Vanity Press Journals. You pay them money and they'll publish your work. About as close to traditional self publishing as it gets for paper submissions.
  10. You need to look at self publishing.
  11. Yeah, blanket statements are the worst.
  12. They might be able to come up with options we haven't, but we already have basically uncrackable encryption so long as the key remains secure.
  13. Do you mean negatives? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_(photography) http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_canvas_getimagedata2
  14. Yeah, I keep thinking it'd be fun to buy a fire piston, but still requires a fair amount of force(and good conditions).
  15. lol, seriously I don't think Trump himself is that much of a danger, more concerned what will happen if elections continue to be as divisive as this one has been.
  16. Yeah, may be just wishful thinking. Feel he's set back the near term chances for a Latino President, along with normalization(and a local economic boost). Maybe we'll see something come election day proper.
  17. I would hate for us to be enemas.
  18. Yeah, I'm wondering how things will go here in Florida. Have a number of Latino friends, Democrat and Republican, who are planning on voting Hillary. Rubio may lose as well. Lost a ton of respect for his hardliner stance on normalizing relations with Cuba and flopping fish support for Trump.
  19. Compression ignition, though compression itself takes energy.
  20. How did the elephant cross the streams? It didn't. Only humans are crazy enough to cross the streams!
  21. Je vous remercie Thank you, my program still needs some more work in the whites and the degree of randomness, but yeah, I'm liking the results.
  22. Playing around with trying to get some pointillism code working. Think this picture came out pretty nicely
  23. How did you and the other mass come to be separated in the first place?
  24. Know what you mean. Coolest thing to watch their ecosystem evolve in ways you can't fully predict. At one point rigged some of mine up to be interactive. Seeing lifeforms reacting to my mouse was very odd. Then they evolved to eat the mouse... The boundary we imagine blurred for awhile though. Keep thinking to go back to it. Freshen up the concept with modern neural nets(to develop at least the initial lifeform programming language) and an AI director to step up the environmental challenges. Had decent success doing some manually, but feel we are missing the secret sauce needed to keep it from getting stuck. We provide them numerical values for their senses. Programming code for collision detection(sight, touch, feeding) was pretty complicated though. I don't know if they "feel" anything in doing their comparisons, but they certainly are happy to attack if they see something is near them. Should note that they are not what we see. What they are is an array of data and ultimately the electrons on the chips. May want to look at mental models and the use of simulations in our own brains. Whether they think or don't think, I'm not about to start discriminating between our respective simulations. The map may not be the territory, but it can be near enough to be interesting.
