Once your centre of Mass moves past your center of balance you will tip over.

Just like how on old school scales moving the tiny weights to the side changes the balance, go to far and the scales tip over, their is no way to keep the ship and the sub directly located over each other, if it was dropped from the center of the boat and went straight down,and there were no ocean currents(they can change directions at different depths) No wind, No waves and you could manage to move both the ship and the sub in the same direction at the same pace accounting for differences in buoyancy and resistance, then yes you would have a point.

Comment BMI is a lie! (Score 1, Interesting) 329

If you cycle, then I suggest doing your BMI maths to find out how obse you are, BMI FUCKING SUCKS! Muscle is heavier than fat, bmi is your weight in relation to you high. therefore if you have a maximum about of muscle then you come in at Obse on this stupid fucking scale.
Fuck all fat on me, mostly skinny build, have some nice leg muscles, no real arm or back muscles, no fat gut, im 183cms and 95KGs..
Overweight to the point that if I put on more weight i'm Obese!

The main worry with brute force is a compromising of the system that lets the attacker have access to password lists, and then needs to brute force those off sight to return latter, any system set up these days that allows a brute force on it with out a) notifying the admin and b) locking accounts is so broken that its not worth discussing.

Not sure where you got your numbers from, nor how many words you think the english langue has...

http://www.oxforddictionaries....
lemmas - Instead of talking about words, it's more useful in this context to talk about lemmas, a lemma being the base form of a word. For example, climbs, climbing, and climbed are all examples of the one lemma climb.
If we talk about the base of 95% of common lemmas, we are looking at over 50,000 words for a strength of 3 chosen randomly VS 1 printable ascii chrs(of 95)
125,000,000,000,000 VS 95

Sure, your 11 chrs = (and that's if you accept all 95 chrs) strenght comes in at VS 4 random lemma
5,688,000,922,764,599,609,375 VS 6,250,000,000,000,000,000
5.688e+18 VS 6.250e+19

But 5 lemma will rock your world for
312,500,000,000,000,000,000,000
3.125e+20

And i have no idea how 10 acsii chrs beats 10 lemma ..
90,765,625,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, VS 59,873,693,923,837,890,625
9.765e+46 VS 5.987e+16

And let me reiterate, this is based of just lemma's, build a list of common lemmas, throw in common names, and other common words and you coudl be looking a list will over 150,000 to base your calculations on.

true fail, how blood hard is it for you guys to click the 'Parent' link.. FFS

To quote the parent of my post

"The killing part is especially important for people such as Bin Laden, Saddam, Qadaffi, and so on. Can't have them actually on trial, they might have some things to say that would inconvenience the West"

My point being those guys were not some magic off the top kill them before they say something, they say or said crap all teh time. Nice to see how lazy slashdotters are that they cant even follow a thread or look to a parent quote if its not put in.

***
Bin Laden, Saddam, Qadaffi were happily living a life at the top of corporate america, just sitting quite on the dirt they could spill if they wanted to then america goes and kills them to keep em quit!!

are you fucking nuts? Speaking inconvenient things about the west was about all these guys did.

Set1) The horrible frame rate and jumpness gave it the first set away, the cheap 4K was jumpy in the redrawing, looked like a series of flashcards, 1080
Set2) I chose the colours and natural look of the 4K
Set3) Zoomed in, I liked the shadows and total rang on the 1080
Set4) Beach - This gave away the cheap 4K easily. Horrible processing on the steps in the background was so distracting I couldn't take my eyes off it. 1080
Set5) Beach2 - Jumpy image was horrible on the 4K, you couldn't use that anywhere you were paid. 1080
Set6) Shado2Sun - The 4K was blown out in the highlights and anywhere close to highlights, 1080

The 4K is a lot better than I was expecting, amazing for the price you buy, but I wouldn't want to use it professionally, you would be called out by someone with 1/2 a clue, and I doubt its going to handle low light levels at all with the amount of blowouts in the highlights, its clearly compensating there.
Try taking the samsung out of the light, and seeing how it goes in say areas lit by 1-3 candles at night, that would be fun!

Honestly in today's age, there is no excuse for lazy assed ppl to cry 'citation needed', this is not an encyclopedia, its a debate, take the effort to research rather then cry for others to do it for you.
