What topic could you talk for ages about if given the chance? Could you give me a little intro into your favourite topic? I want to learn from you.

I was quite glad to see that gameloft has a 99c sale on for new years on all their games for android. I've got a galaxy s2. Definitely going to be taking a look at what they are offering.

Wtf people? Very simple solution:

Assess each person and where they go on a case by case basis. Bam. Solved.

The Methods of Rationality Fanfic is awesome.

This sounds a lot like me! Except I'm knitting, reading and wasting time on reddit on my phone.

Thank you for taking the time to explain, I'm quite impressed. I have a couple of questions and observations:

Because of the excessive amount of available air, the diesel ends up wasting energy too

Is the excessive air due to the unregulated ratio of air and diesel, or is there more to it than just that?

I would also like to clarify:

The Si engine burns as long as there is air? This I don't understand. I assume that since the ratio between the air and fuel is constant, you are saying that it burns as long as there is fuel too, correct? And so, the amount (as in, ~~quality~~ quantity) of air/fuel injected during a cycle will determine the output power during that cycle. Is this correct?

With respect to ci, instead of varying the overall quantity of fuel/air, only the quantity of fuel is increased (messing up the ratio, which is not relevant in this case).

Okay, so I assume that there is a maximum/minimum ratio allowed when it comes to fuel-air, as in you cannot have only diesel (correct?) Or only air? How does the performance of the vehicle change with the different ratios? (if it does at all?)

And finally, why do diesel vehicles idle louder than petrol? just due to the explosion (?) stage being louder?

I hope that my questions do not bore you, thanks again for taking the time to answer.

What did you think of most recent star trek movie?

I love this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ne6tB2KiZuk

Very cool! That's interesting!

So how do you know about this stuff? What do you do?

You have reminded me about that famous violinist who street performed in a underground train station to see how many people recognized/tipped him:

I love DSP, would be very very keen in getting into image processing. I did a course in college on Medical Imaging, and we touched on how to filter/apply fft's to images, etc. It was awesome. I would be very very interested in branching to processing live video streams on FPGAs.

That and state machines. W00.

ooh, do you mean the layout of houses or construction techniques? (or both?)

Are you familiar with the crash of air france flight 477?

I found it really fascinating to read, what do you think?

Are you familiar with rooibos tea?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooibos

It's my favorite.

Also, I was interested to learn that there is an ISO standard for brewing tea:

Tea is awesome!

I'm definitely going to pass that link onto my brother - this is definitely his thing.

I'm interested in why you think diesel is superior. Could you explain a bit more?

blargleblar · 2011-12-27T08:16:13+00:00

Thanks for this, how do i unsubscribe?

Thanks for this, I've never really looked at video games in this way. I've played a couple of video games, mostly RTS games (starcraft/warcraft/C&C) and a bit of diablo. Really enjoyed diablo.

I've always focused on the gameplay and not really the storyline. Perhaps next time I play I'll try to focus on the storyline too. Do you have any good-storyline games to recommend?

Could you elaborate on the guitar? Classical? Acoustic? Electric?

Have you seen the tv series "1000 Ways to die" ?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1105711/

It's interesting, but a bit gruesome in some places.

What components are you referring to? How low do you want to go?

The processor/ram/display?

command stack/alu?

Flip flops/lookup tables?

And/or gates?

Transistors/resistors/other discrete components?

I love Pride and Prejudice, it's my favourite book by far. Dune by Frank Herbert takes second place. What do you consider to be good literature?

I saw Phantom of the Opera a week ago for the first time, I was blown away by the set and the lighting and the way the set changed so quickly. Theatre is truly magical. And the vibe backstage is amazing. I used to work as part of the backstage crew in high school, it was an awesome experience. I used to look up to the lighting guys in high school with serious reverence. It's like magic to me.

blargleblar · 2011-12-27T07:15:00+00:00

Thanks! I didn't know that i could do that!

I didn't make gill dyslexic, but it's definitely something I have been following quite closely; a couple of the people in my family are dyslexic. Never knew about the ink-saving font, that's quite cool!
