  1. Why is the developed world turning away from Nuclear Energy?

    This. I don't understand why there is zero movement at least in the US for a thorium breeder. The fuel is more plentiful, wouldn't require expensive uranium enrichment and processing steps, plants could be passively safe and much smaller in scale. It seems like a win-win. Granted there are...

  2. Resistor Code ?

    I found a replacement board on e-bay that had some good high res pictures of the resistor in question but unexploded. The pic (R46 in the middle) shows red, black, gold, gold, purple. I guess the heat could have changed my purple band to black (or see Edit below). However, the digikey...

  3. Resistor Code ?

    Due to a power surge a resistor on the Motor Control board of my treadmill cooked. It is likely that other components are also toast. However, since resistors are cheap and new control boards are not I thought I would try to replace the blown resistor first. However, it has been a long time...

  4. Ever had a gun pointed at you by a cop?

    Twice ... sort of. Once when I was in college some friends and I went target shooting at a place where we sort of weren't supposed to be. It was land owned by the local power company but people went there all the time to ride 4-wheelers, shoot, & hangout. Anyway, I didn't hear the cruiser...

  5. What if you shoot down a surveilance drone tresspassing on your property?

    It would surely be below terminal velocity since you only approach it asymptotically via free fall and never actually reach that speed. I made some rough calculations based on a 7.62 bullet and varying the drag coefficients since I couldn't find an exact one. It should take somewhere between...

  6. What if you shoot down a surveilance drone tresspassing on your property?

    Terminal Velocity (noun)- The constant maximum velocity reached by a body falling under gravity through a fluid, esp the atmosphere. Essentially when drag (determined by aerodynamics) = the force of gravity. So how fast does a bullet fall? Answer: At exactly its terminal velocity. Perhaps you...

  7. Odd Things You Remember From Being A Kid

    Me and my brother would put this stuff on the ceiling fan and turn it on to watch it splat against the wall. However, that ended when one time instead of coming off in a big chunk it extruded into what seemed like a mile of thin slime string. There were thin strings of this stuff wrapping the...

  8. Who "owns" the airspace over a house?

    Section 91.119 There is an exemption for agricultural aircraft like crop dusters in Section 137.49 that says they can fly lower than 500 feet. I am not aware of any other exemptions for things like inspections ... but that doesn't mean that there aren't any.

  9. Who "owns" the airspace over a house?

    United States v. Causby - Says basically you own just enough to use your land .... Also according the FAA anyone can fly anything in the uncontrolled region of airspace as longs as they maintain 500 feet from people and structures. Air Rights

  10. Jesse Jackson thinks your AR-15 can shoot down airplanes

    This is getting off from the original topic however ... Pilots routinely use ILS/autopilot to to align with the runway and get on the glide slope. Lots of times this isn't turned off until the "decision height" which is around 200 feet. The pilot then flares and does the touchdown. Large...

  11. The most badass scene in any movie, ever?

    "There was a fire fight!!!!" from The Boondock Saints http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsuH1msEkvM

  12. So North Korea admits they want to nuke the US... Update with Video

    Although there have been numerous failures this isn't accurate. GMD has a couple of intercepts. FTG-03A and FTG-05 both resulted in successful exoatmospheric intercepts. Also although not technically GBI the Aegis BMD has scored several hits.

  13. Ouch!!! The tax increase sucks

    Exactly the same situation for me.

  14. Lucasfilm bought by Disney for $4.05 Billion, Episode 7 confirmed for 2015!

    Can we get a reboot of Episodes 1-3 and just pretend they never happened instead of a new movie?

  15. OMG My Health Insurance premiums..

    1) Premiums went up ~12%(last year was ~11%). 2) Co-pays went up ~20% (last year ~25%). 3) Also, this year they added an extra fee for your spouse. If your spouse works tack on an additional $70 per month to the Family plan which already costs 4 times the individual plan. Got an e-mail from...

  16. How to use Internet Explorer on XBOX 360?

    I used it and it was pretty good. I then got the Smart glass app for android so I can use my phone as a touch pad/keyboard which is really cool.

  17. Hurricane Sandy! (Watch out, NE)

    Unfortunately the Antares rocket is sitting on the pad in Wallops Island, VA right now with no way to move it before the storm hits. Let's hope the track moves farther north or east. Once vertical I think it is rated for a max of 70mph winds.

  18. Question about machines in space

    The Chinese satellite missile test was completely retarded. At least when we did the same thing it was at a lower altitude so the debris would degrade quickly and not screw up usable orbits.

  19. Question about machines in space

    You are absolutely correct about the Whipple shields. However, not all satellites have them and as I mentioned they are not that effective if you get hit by say a 5 cm chunk of something.

  20. Question about machines in space

    The service life of a satellite can vary quite a bit. I would say typical is 5-10 year. Mid and High orbits could last longer. Luckily ... sort of ... most of the debris is in Low Earth Orbit. I say "luckily" because that means its orbit will decay quicker and eventually clear itself out. I...

  21. Question about machines in space

    That is not accurate. There is very little chance to survive an impact of an object anywhere close to 10 cm in diameter. Basically stuff less than a 1 cm a satellite might survive depending on where it hits. If it hits a solar panel it will most likely just punch a hole right through it and...

  22. Biking gurus, I bought the bd bike & upgraded the tires, how much should I inflate?

    160 psi is crazy high. I would say your tires are either to narrow or overinflated. For 160 to make sense you would have to weigh like 280 and be running 23mm tires. If that is the case you would most likely be better off with 25 or 28 tires and running a lower pressure. You will get the same...

  23. Biking gurus, I bought the bd bike & upgraded the tires, how much should I inflate?

    More than 100 for your weight & relatively wide 28mm tire is probably overkill. I probably wouldn't go over 90. Based on this old chart I had bookmarked and guessing your bike weight I came out with 85 psi (60/40 weight distro). Lots of people over inflate their tires for no real good reason...

  24. sore achilles

    I don't know if your pain is exactly in the same spot as mine. However, early this summer I started having pain directly on the back of heel where the achilles attaches. It would be worse first thing in the morning or after sitting for more than an hour or so. Once I was up and around it...

  25. What are the coolest college football (sports?) traditions?

    I came to post the same thing. Also this trumps the script Ohio

  26. < $500 dollar laptop?

    That one does seem to be a better deal. Plus when I showed it to my wife she said "I like this one because it comes in red!" Thanks again.

  27. < $500 dollar laptop?

    My wife's ~5 year old crappy Dell Inspiron 1525 has finally toasted. I don't follow anything related to laptop hardware and I just need a cheap < $500 replacement. She only uses it to surf the net, create an occasional small Word doc, and watch some stuff on the internet (Hulu, etc.). Her...

  28. What would constitute a revolutionary feature on a mobile phone?

    I use the LED flash on my phone as a small flashlight all the time. I use the app WidgetLocker to add a flashlight button on my lockscreen for easy access. It is probably one of the most used things on my phone.

  29. What Android app do you use to track your workouts?

    I used to run with runkeeper. Their website is nice and has a lot of nice features with your uploaded runs. The audio feedback has a several options for announcing average pace, time, and distance at user selectable time or distance triggers. However, some of the options are useless like...

  30. Organic food is not healthier study shows

    I prefer to just get my stuff from a local farmer's market or something. I don't worry about any kind of organic labels. Surprisingly there is a large amount of foods labeled "organic" that are imported from China with sketchy at best certification.

  31. Help me understand what Mormonism is?

    At work I overheard a religious discussion between a Mormon and an Israeli born Jewish guy w/ olive skin. The Jewish guy asked him about that subject and the Mormon directly told him that he was cursed by god ... the conversion kind of went downhill from there.

  32. 12 killed, 59 hurt in shooting after The Dark Knight Rises premiere in Denver

    You seemed to answer your own question. ;) If he was smart he probably did not modified it to full auto because it is much less accurate ... and prone to jamming.

  33. 12 killed, 59 hurt in shooting after The Dark Knight Rises premiere in Denver

    I completely agree. I was only speaking to the definition of the "assault rifle" vs "assault weapon". The Auto or 3-round burst setting on real assault rifles like the M4 have limited value except possibly in close range combat. They lack the accuracy to be very effective under most...

  34. 12 killed, 59 hurt in shooting after The Dark Knight Rises premiere in Denver

    Technically spidey07 is correct. The AR-15 is not an "assault rifle" as it does not have have selective fire capable of full-auto.However, I believe it does fall under the definition of "assault weapon" per the language in the now expired federal assault weapons ban. Subtle difference.

  35. What are some funny Brit words?

    Yep. In high school an attractive exchange student asked me if I had a rubber during class. I stared at her in confusion with a big grin on my face.

  36. Kindle Fire vs. iPad

    My wife does not like reading on the bigger iPad. She has said that it is to hard to hold in one hand. So a smaller 7" tablet might be the ticket. However, with the rumored $199 7" Google Nexus tablet coming out the Kindle Fire would not be a good value at the same price point.

  37. favorite pocket knife EDC?

    If you routinely destroy your knives with acid why not get one with a ceramic blade.

  38. Anyone know about hydrodynamics concerning a wing cutting through the water and lift?

    I am not a hydrodynamics expert however, lift when all other things are equal is directly proportional to the density of the medium. Water is about 1000 times as dense as air therefore much smaller wings are required. Also the wings with highest lift to drag ratios are high aspect ratio wings...

  39. How far do you think we would have advanced as a civilization if...

    The more interesting and accurate question would be how far could we have advanced if religion would have gotten out of the way when necessary. Early religion was sort of necessary IMO to unify civilizations give them a stable base and by consequence allow more free time/energy to be devoted to...

  40. North Carolina to scientists: No you can't use exponential models

    I think the author of this article is reaching a bit. However, legislating how to perform science is silly. Maybe linear models fit better maybe they don't but you don't limit yourself to a particular method, model, or approach to a problem ... that is just silly. I think the following...
