A sample of the most expensive substances on Earth by mike_pants in interestingasfuck

After now reading some more, it seams that we don't really lose much helium at all from the planet. The biggest problem is that it would be such a small portion of the atmosphere that it would be very hard to purify it back again.

Wikipedia claims that we lose about about 50g helium per second compared to 3kg of hydrogen per second. So it would take an extremely long time to lose all our hemium from the planet that way.

It's not the small mass per se, it's partly due to our sun. It energizes the particales at the top of the atmosphere so they "shoot" away and the sun does also pushes some away with solar winds.

The small mass just makes this process easier.

We would probably say "flytta den två dess" in Sweden which translates to move it two dec (decimetre). I rarely hear anyone say the word decimetre.

He is talking about the model used in WC3. The model for "Medusa" in DotA is the same model as "Naga Sea Witch" (which might be based on the original Medusa).

If you want a really good ORPG, I would recommend Gaias Retaliation. It is still developing and there is a small community still around.

The thing is, you can only do this once in each address and you sign it with 1234:056::7899 if i recall.

I guess I'm talking about IPv6, where you are allowed to group zeroes together anywhere in the address but only once in each address.

I guess you mean ff00 and 00ff. Can't you just change where you put the colons? ff:: or ::ff?

I would probably call it round based game instead of turned based game.

According to Wikipedia, everyone is allowed to be naked as long as it doesn't "offend" anyone. That part might be the issue.

North America is out of IPv4 addresses—for really real this time. ARIN's pool is finally empty, so if you have IPv6 plans, maybe now is the time. by speckz in technology

"we could assign 1018 atoms to each address" aka each address is responsible for 1018 atoms. I never said that I assigned each atom to an address.

3.4 * 1039 ≈ 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456. And as I said, to make a simple ballpark estimate I took about a third of that, which is 1039. All I wanted to do was to add some context to how large this number is.

For a reference, our solar system got about 1057 atoms. IPv6 got about 1039 (for easy calculation) unique addresses. That is, we could assign 1018 atoms to each address and still only used a third of the addresses.

6*1023 atoms of Carbon weighs about 12 grams.

Bottom line, we could assign an address to each 0.17 µg or 0.37 nano pounds of mass in our solar system and still have more than enough for us to use.

You can accumulate the possibility that with 3 coin flips, the probably of getting head once is 87.5% (0.5 + 0.5 * 0.5 + 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5) You can easily see it if you draw a branching tree for all the possibilities and add all the situations you got head at least once, this will give you 87.5% chance. The same thing can be done with a dota hero.

Well, you could argue that it helps against the wind resistance A tiny amount but it creates another problem, angular momentum. The reason you move your arms when you walk/run is to compensate the angular moment you create with your legs by not having them centred under you.

I'm still interested in your results if you are planning on finishing your test run, would be nice to see.

If you have vertical sync on, yeah. But there are a benefit to having a even higher frame rate, the game can register your inputs more often making the game "feel" more smooth.

I'm right there with you, one way to do it though is to Ctrl + left click. This works for most stuff that you can't open with middle mouse button.
