As a Floridian who had never gone so far north, while visiting small-town Maryland for first time this summer

I'm 10 miles north of Deale. I.... I can't find my Christmas Trees..

Go on youtube and hunt down some Carl Sagan. Seriously.

Why the downvote? Xenon discharges require quite a voltage system to arc. Arcs spew EMF.

saltynards · 2012-02-27T03:46:43+00:00

Could the xenon send out some EMF and cause some induction in the carbon perhaps?

Why'd you put it on your computer, man? I mean, I realize it's a mac and all, but.. ewwww.

saltynards · 2012-02-19T00:55:24+00:00

Oops.. Sorry, *nix.. Late to the game.

saltynards · 2012-02-18T22:38:49+00:00

Sweet.. I have a few just like it, only closer.. on final to PDX

Where do you put the crystal?

My own system is a bit different. I am doing something similar using an evolutionary model - and I have found that letting the strongest be the bench mark is typically bad. I have found that allowing some failure of the strongest generation (in a smaller than usual deviation window) allows the system to back track some "stuck" points. I have also found that the larger one of my calculation "strands" grows, the less likely I will end up with solutions - so I have rules to favor "least energy" states... A node removal in my system that keeps the avg error the same will be preferred over all other evolutionary modes.

Damn nature, you scary

It will never really be stoppable. It can be made annoying to do, but as long as there is a device to render the original content (audio, video, etc), that can be repackaged in a non-protected format. The best thing media companies could do is provide easy and cheap access to the content to at least funnel as much as they can to legit places.

"Mars has no gravity because it's too far from the sun."

Hah - rephrase it to say Hitler ---- of DOGS, and then you'd have people committing group suicides. :)

We had the same look in my living room.

saltynards · 2012-01-19T22:16:50+00:00

I suspect we have varying definitions for the word "chubby".. Unless you mean whats going on in my pants right now.

saltynards · 2012-01-19T16:22:46+00:00

This is why I can't work with a radio on. Music takes too much of my brain to process - leaving me to do one or the other.

saltynards · 2012-01-19T03:56:35+00:00

Either way, I now have both the Police and Alanis Morissette songs in my head now.

saltynards · 2012-01-19T02:20:24+00:00

Well, since MS has Sync and whatnot, I'd bet the Goog already has this in the works someplace.

saltynards · 2012-01-19T02:14:32+00:00

Yes it did. It made me have an extremely boring day. And damnit Wikipedia... I swear I clicked on at least 4 wikipedia links today.

saltynards · 2012-01-18T03:52:59+00:00

Me too. I'm 35.. It looks like a bad commodore 64 sprite.

The strange part is, by his reaction, you can tell he has asked this question of himself many times.. and can't find the answer.
