Just wondering what everyone's opinion is on the future of automotive technology in terms of power supply.
Do you think the future of the car is entirely electric, chemically fueled (petroleum, ethanol, biofuels, or some other combustible), a hybrid of both, or something entirely new?
My...
I'm back! After a 3 month long hiatus due to the lack of internet because of financial reasons. But now that I have a job, I can afford my own internet service. Virgin mobile prepaid broad band. Slow as two retarded turtles fucking, but can't complain.
Alot has gone on with me in the last...
Here is a dilemma for you. What value do you assign to human life?
Say there is a building burning to the ground and two people inside, an infant, and a grown man. The grown man is a leading virologist and has discovered the cure for HIV but has yet to implement his findings. You are a...
I was reading through a thread in another forum about the recent synthesized cellular genome and the topic was basically, "what do you think about it?" It got alot the typical "playing god" responses but one response that made me think basically stated "it should not be done because its...
I have a mini fridge in my room which had a corroded line burst causing the refrigerant to escape into the air. I am wondering if this will have any health effects since there isn't much ventilation outside of the AC. I didn't know it had ruptured until about an hour ago so I haven't had any...
searching through some videos about pocket steam engines and came across a video of some guy who thinks he's just solved mans energy needs with a stepper motor. Basically, he connects it to a light and turns it and *badadadummm!* produces light.
Now this would normally just be the...
Say there was a planet, which has all the essential material and physics to support life and is orbiting in a good location, has an adequate moon/tidal influence, and proper tilt. However, the planet is huge. Many times larger than earth, say the size of Uranus (giggity). Would it be possible...
Bare with me on this as im not really basing this off anything scientific.
I was watching a show on the History channel, and against the fact that I have been pissed off with their recent repertoire of absolute bullshit, I decided to go ahead and give this show some attention. Im not sure...
I am fed the shit up with the History Channel! All this "doomsday" "2012" Nostradamus Bullshit is starting to rub me in a not so enjoyable way!
All god damn day long, all they show anymore is fucking Nostradumbass predictions, end of the world crap, and a bunch of other conspiracy theory...
Reading up on the daily debates and arguments that ensue both here and on youtube both in the comments and videos themselves, I have come to find alot of the general language and tactics used are starting to become cliche to the point of cringing when I see them. Normally cliches are phrases...
Im sure if it was, then the power industries would be all over it. But I was wondering if it could be possible, but not at this time, to produce electrical potential and current directly from heat. Normally, heat is used to heat something to create kinetic energy which is then converted to...
I have a couple fundie friends on facebook (though *a couple* is a conservative estimate). And, one today made a post which read:
"I wonder who names all the aborted babies when they get to heaven?"
And as usual, he had several responses which were just the typical prolife talk of the average...
Im currently in a debate on another forum which is supposed to be about creation V evolution but its kind of going into a broader discourse about religion in general. One member made this comment:
"Islam is not Judaism , because Islam says Judaism is wrong."
And I replied:
"Islam says...
