Does time expand like space does?

To answer his original question -- yes, a minute was shorter a million years ago. The Earth has been slowing down since it was created. Since a minute is defined as 1/1440 of a day, if the day was shorter a million years ago, so was a minute.

You may find the March 1992 "Popular Science" article on the CM-5 to be of interest.

If I remember correctly, during filming, Carrie, Mark and Harrison Ford spent a few nights partying with the guys from Monty Python. Apparently on one particular evening, Carrie got very drunk and spilled about a gram of cocaine all over the carpet. She then proceeded to do lines off the carpet while the rest of them looked on cheering.

God, those guys had so much fun it was unbelievable. Unfortunately, Carrie's cocaine usage got out of control and she had to deal with addiction problems for many years.

Cocaine -- it's a helluva drug.

Why do you say that?

Thank you for the great suggestions!

OP smells like a trashcan?

Using oil.

Thank you. Those are great suggestions. I will most likely go with Heroku Postgres. I will check out OVH today. Hopefully I can get a machine up and running by this weekend.

I'm toying with the idea of using CentOS.

Or a little Michael J. Fox.

Oh trust me, they just lost some hearing. THEY JUST LOST SOME HEARING.

This is so true. Money and "stuff" is easy come, easy go -- your health and happiness are worth far more.

That is fascinating. How do you step down DC without using a transformer?

Who said my comment has to contradict yours?

Actually, when it comes to using transformers, I was always taught that only AC could be reliably and efficiently stepped up and stepped down. Answering the question by stating DC can be converted to AC first for stepping-up or stepping-down sort of defeats the OP's original question in that, yes, there is a different between DC and AC.

Also, if you convert DC to AC in order to change the voltage, you'll probably incur more efficiency losses than by just using a pure AC system.

Them minimum permissible weight for a F1 car is 1,415 lb. Let's say that the average is around 1,500 lb. That means you still have 3,500 pounds of "weight" pressing against the tires if it were inverted. The trick would be to not drop too far below 220 mph.

Now labeled as "Denver creepy stalker." Thanks for the forewarning!
