  1. That study has been referenced a lot online but there's no report available anyone has been able to find. Was supposedly leaves from the Japanese Lacquer Tree, if anyone is interested in making the attempt.
  2. Ideally though you would recycle most of it. Anything that saves on pumping or bringing up resources from the ground would be a boon. Fertilizer, gray water reuse, purification back into potable water. Possibly even offload it via hoses to the ground depending on what is available. Worst case move the city over an ocean and you can straight dump it. I imagine they might still use a hose to keep it from being an eyesore.
  3. My only question is why the Lib's? Two party system predominates as a result of our voting system. Republicans are probably the most in danger of the two of an ideological meltdown. A schism between social and fiscal conservationism, but I wouldn't peg the Lib's to be their replacement. More likely some sort of socially moderate fiscally focused offshoot would come out on top. We should see some good candidates this round at least. Figure the good ones were all playing it safe and waiting for the election cycle they would have the best chance of winning. About standard for a President to be reelected for a second term.
  4. There is kind of. Escape isn't the right word, moving to a higher orbit would be though. Tides -> Earth's Rotation slows -> Moon moves outwards Eventually the system would balance out. Moon would never actually escape though. Besides our Sun is going to expand prior to that, so I wouldn't recommend sticking around to watch.
  5. Human memory is error prone. Hard to rely on it, especially after this long. To really prove it, you would need to show outside knowledge. Something that matched nothing observed prior to or obtained through your not entirely turned off senses. Dreams do incorporate your mental conceptions of events, so nothing that says those can't roughly align to what you see in the future. There is actually some research out there dealing with capturing mental images. Pretty primitive at the moment but future looks bright.
  6. You'd have to convert it to an html table(Save as Webpage) and then from there to BBCode. Then you need a forum which accepts that style of BBCode. The BBCode for tables is actually here under the Special BBCode button(3rd top left), but I couldn't get it to work properly. Not sure if there is some trick or there's something off in the implementation. The picture route and then uploading it to somewhere like Imgur is probably the way to go. You should also be able to upload it to somewhere like Google Spreadsheets. Obviously not on the same page, but would save them a download.
  7. In the matter's own frame of reference it falls in normally.
  8. What's happening here on Earth as a result of the Moon?
  9. I have to admit it took me a bit to figure them out at first too. It took thinking about them as ((Not A) And B) Gates before they really made sense, with B standing in for the presence of a power supply. A B Out 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 and yeah, it does have a major impact on power consumption/heating. The limits of Diode logic gates can be interesting to look at in relation to this.
  10. This should help: Short answer is that you need a power supply for your Inverter or Not gate. If you want to pull up a diagram for that chip you'll see Vcc at Pin 14.
  11. From the Independent: British Scientists Clone Dinosaur Click to read more from Dr. Sheridan.
  12. You are talking about optical character recognition(OCR). The better human verification systems are designed to prevent this however. People can be payed to basically do your job for you, with results and costs comparable to what the very best OCR software could manage. Figure out what 15 minutes costs at present, then see if this is more or less than what people are paying on mturk(elsewhere?) for similar tasks. Based on that you can decide whether to proceed or not.
  13. I mean hire them to enter the captchas and scrape/input whatever information you need.
  14. Depending on your time requirements you can also, cheaply, hire out other people to do it via services like Amazon's Mechanical Turk(mturk).
  15. Yeah, talking more about density than anything else.
  16. He's referring to the uneven mass distribution within the Earth itself. Depending on your scale's sensitivity you'll see differences in the amount of force produced(weight) based on your location. ie. F = G(m1m2)/r2 As for seeing Gravity not in reference to things like planets, the Cavendish experiment is probably the best example. Subsequently he was able to figure out the approximate density of the entire planet Earth, so not too shabby. As for orbiting it is based on an object's velocity. Cannonball example is a good one. Perpetually "over the horizon" before it can hit. Even with all that there is still a ton more to Gravity, but that is probably enough for now.
  17. Yeah, the Babylonian system combined with the base 10 Hindu-Arabic numeral system. If you want historical then it is a mess of different contributions. Hours are mostly the Greeks(horae). Days of the week are mostly in reference to different Nordic and Roman deities. Months, mostly Roman deities and more than a few of their Emperors. The 7 day week is mostly based on religion(Babylonian and Judaism), every 7 days being a holy day. There's a decent degree of crossover between the two hard to say who thought up what exactly. In their version of the Flood, it took 7 days, might have been the basis. Mostly arbitrary though rooted in our apparent motion around the Sun. Insane to think about the amount of observation involved. There are a number of other systems out there as well, if you are interested.
  18. This might make the Master-Slave relationship a bit more clear. There are two flip flops, with the second only changing in response to a change in the first. If DMaster = 1 and Clock = 1, QMaster = 1 DSlave = QMaster If DSlave = 1 and Clock = 0, QSlave = 1 There are also truth tables out there which I generally find to be helpful to look at. Just to clarify typically preset/clear are referenced as set and reset. Essentially yes. There are free online circuit simulators out there. Logic.ly/demo is good for basic stuff and you can probably find others with a bit of searching.
  19. True fact: Most terrorists are bigoted.
  20. China owns a ton of US debt. They are not going to jeopardize their own economy with hostilities.
  21. There are commercial services that you should look at instead. Affiliation for sites is more like the relationship between SFN and RationalSkepticism.org. They both link to the other in a clear fashion on their homepages. There are more complex affiliations than that but the mutual link is what you'll most commonly see.
  22. You and I missed each other there by just a few years. Still have the edge on possibility that Swansont ran into some of my family though.
  23. yeah, I was in myself, Navy and now National Guard. Just to be safe I and most others, try to stick with general info. Orlando or Goose Creek?
  24. Yeah, I've seen some questionable papers in even the more reputable journals.
