So, TI is basically saying they made a joule thief. *YAWN*

Much like you failed 5th-grade English, it seems.

Volts is the power/force/pressure, Amps is the amount of electricity used.

Both. Falsely assuming the identity of a living person is identity theft (criminal,) and violating a contract is breach of contract (civil.)

Block ALL results except those exposing the *AA and AG, to take it a step further.

The primary problem we have today is not automation, it is over-concentration of wealth. Automation will destroy jobs to the extent that the people running the companies implementing the automation wish it to. If those companies are run by people who are happy to deliver worse service as long as they can pay fewer people, then, yes, we have a problem, but it is not with the technology.

There is no such thing a technological determinism. It's people all the way down.

Uh, if you look at the correct map and note that the Deccan traps were on the triangular Indian plate sailing around in the middle of the ocean, you'll note that the alignment is actually reasonably good.

Gee, I can't even blame autocorrect :

that the Deccan traps were formed at the antipode of a major impact

Cool, thanks for the reference. (A paper from the time of the modern dinosaurs, when the AGU still had a Spring Meeting in Baltimore.)

It looks like it is even in the right place (see above).

This may revive the theory that the Deccan traps were formed at the antipode of a major eruption - the seismic waves will focus there, and could crack the Earth's crust (for a really big impact).

It seems logical, and the positions more or less fit, but the question was always whether the timing was viable.

Now, where is the crater that formed the Siberian traps. And, did it end the Permian period?

You fucking idiot, at this point and time you're supposed to file a lien on their property.

That you haven't done so is a statement of your idiocy and ignorance of the law.

One of the WORST places for any sort of real information given their 'reality' shows, especially on this site, and fucking Slashdot links to it.

ABANDON SHIP. Timothy, Samzenpus, and the others are fucking bought out wholesale and have ZERO credibility in ANYTHING any longer.

I have come to regard this as basically religious, so this is somewhat like arguing about conservation of mass in transubstantiation, but I have a thick skin.

From what we know, carbon biologies last ~3 billion years or more, silicon biologies have so far 0 years behind them. Bayesians bet on carbon.

By the way, anyone who thinks that robotic / silicon life wouldn't be biological, and wouldn't evolve, doesn't understand evolution. Evolution is like entropy in that you can't get out of the game.

"Police suspected all along that Todd might not be telling the truth, starting with the fact that the 'B' was backward, Bryant said.

'We have robbers here in Pittsburgh, but they don't generally mutilate someone's face like that,' Bryant said. 'They just take the money and run.'"

Thank you, AC. I forgot this little statement existed.

I'd mod up if possible.

Snoop Dogg, for starters. Shit, last time I got a chance to hang, we nailed about 80 blunts in a day. Boys on the floor knocked the fuck out while us champs are still puffin.

"Seems like a very risky game to play, faking death threats against yourself and then asking the police and FBI to investigate."

Ahem. Remember the girl that carved /d/ in her face trying to say that 4chan's /b/ assaulted her?

Yea. It's not going to stop idiots from pulling the exact same shit.
