Flat Earth Theory / Re: Discovery a challenge to UA?
« on: March 22, 2014, 12:39:34 AM »So what?If gravitation can occur in the heavens, then why can't gravitation occur on the earth?
The Earth is not the heavens.

Curious to know what FEers who do not subscribe to gravitation of any kind make of the article that DDDDats linked to. Would this make you reconsider the existence of UA?
Gravitation can occur in the heavens.

« on: March 21, 2014, 02:23:55 AM »If you're worried about something causing a fire at a petrol station I would look for high voltage electrical switching systems. These are used by terrorists to generate collapsing magnetic fields that briefly generate deadly electrical currents, causing a spark that can be several millimetres across. According to my local sheriffs department, who put out a warning this morning, in the past this wasn't a problem because such systems are quite heavy. But terrorists (Al Qaeda) have recently discovered a way of moving these "dirty bombs" around on wheels, meaning they can just "drive" it onto the forecourt.I'd be more worried about sparks from static build up when you get in and out of your vehicle while the gas is pumping.

Technology & Information / Re: Razer's Project Christine — easily swappable computer parts (and other stuff!)
« on: March 20, 2014, 12:28:17 PM »The oil directly around the processors is going to barely move, if at all, as oil is very resistant to convection currents due to its viscosity.How thick do you think that oil is? Remember that it's mineral oil, not motor oil.
Mineral oil computers are only good for low-end computers that are used in short bursts.On what evidence are you basing this assertion? There does seem to be some evidence to the contrary:

« on: March 18, 2014, 12:33:56 PM »Why is it that RE'ers are obligated to show why FET doesn't work but FE'ers aren't obligated show why FET does work? Seriously, how can Inquisitive properly refute Thork's ionospheric skip proposal when Thork did not provide a workable proposal to refute?How about you come up with a proposal using the ionosphere and show how it would work. With enough design details for review.Why are you so afraid of backing up your claims? C'mon, pick one and write about it in more than one sentence. You can do it, inquisitive. I believe in you. You can finally prove that you're not a complete waste of time to all of us!

« on: March 17, 2014, 01:42:28 AM »Hmmm... Maybe it has something to do with timing.Wrong, has to be line of sight to calculate location. Look up how it works.
How about explaining precisely why you think that it wouldn't work the way Thork pointed out. Then maybe someone will take you seriously.

In other news the planet of Alderaan has been destroyed.

Since the suggestion was designed to help fat fingered people with phones or tablets get to the next page easier, I would say that bigger, easier to hit targets would be better.

The engine data may not be accurate. I read a different story this morning that said the engine data stopped shortly before the plane was lost on radar, which was told by the engine manufacturers.

« on: March 12, 2014, 07:04:22 PM »How does a one word reply like "nope" not qualify as low content posting?Or is that too much to hope for from the management?You may have missed that (although I'd be surprised, given that you were involved in the discussion), but forum staff are held to the same standards as any other poster, not higher.
As an administrator, you are free to meet whatever standard you feel is best for this site. It just saddens me that you choose one that is so low.
That is just the sort of response that I would expect from someone who has no interest in participating in a productive discussion.Perhaps if you were to reply with meaningful responses, rather than with vague, one word answers, then there might not be so much confusion and the discussion could proceed in a productive manner.I'm very sorry that you feel that way. My post was pretty clear, and if you don't know what "nope" means, well, that's your problem, not mine.
Yes, I understand what the word "nope" means. What I don't understand is how it clarifies your position or adds any value to the discussion.

All passwords in the world are case-sensitive.Incorrect.

« on: March 11, 2014, 12:57:42 AM »Do you mean "diameter" instead of "circumference"?Provided the Earth is a circle then they would only vary based on the diameter of the Earth since the system is defined by having 360 degrees of latitude and longitude.Minor nit to pick: there are only 180 degrees of latitude.
So it is. But you do have to count each latitude twice to make a circumference effectively making 360 degrees to count.
