Well technically H2/LOX got us to the moon, the RP1/LOX got us out of the atmosphere... And incidentally, using LOX is a lot less primitive than using RFNA.

Made my day..
Where are modpoints when you need them?
Came here to post exactly this
Mod up please!
Interesting presentation. The graphs could use some legends, but the message is sorta clear...
I think you are overestimating the yield of PV cells...
We're talking about the Model S
The analogy is a bit off but I strongly agree with the sentiment that Google is not responsible for what people put on the internet; it just indexes it to help them find what they are looking for. This is killing the messenger!
First thing I'd do is replace the whole thing with an Android tablet. Reproduce the interface on-screen, front facing camera is there to observe his face, 3G connection for access to internet and make calls, USB interface to whatever IR interface you'd like. And best of all: easy to code for and make changes and test things on a backup version.
Technology progresses...
It will be road-legal, with powered wheels, safe to drive on a highway. That's what sets it apart from a light plane
Most Casio watches are actually analog ( with hands, as apposed to digital, with digits ). Most here, including the article IMHO, are confusing analog with mechanical. I personally swear by analog radio synchronised watches from Casio.
Photons have mass, because they have energy. Furthermore, that photons have zero rest mass is still only an assumption in most models (ref)
Thank you for that comment; this is exactly what I came here to post. It's nice to see other people having the same opinion... I mean 'common sense'.
One of the selling points of the Google Nexus One phone was direct support from Google, and therefore the quickest updates. The phone is quite a bit more expensive than the HTC desire/incredible, which is practically the same phone.
Good question! I think it has something to do with the stretching of space-time. The galaxy was there 600 million years after the big bang, 13 billion light years from where we were going to be, but space-time (the universe) was smaller. In a way, the light-year was smaller than it is now, but that galaxy was still moving away from our location at nearly light speed.
What is interesting to me is that a galaxy could be formed at all in 600 million years!
You make a good point, but I don't quite agree. 3D is where there are three dimensions. A picture with a z-map (z-buffer) also has depth, but it is still a set of 2D pictures. A true (in mathematical sense) 3D image has infinitely more information stored in it than a set of 2D images. A discretised 3D image therefore has 3 resolution values, e.g. 2048*1080*512. Each pixel in a hologram, for example, has a color value for each direction in which it sends light, separately.
What I meant with "This" in your quote is the fact that people not sitting in the 'sweet spot' are getting the wrong perspective sent to their eyes, which has nothing to do with movement. The brain has trouble with things that don't match up, something similar to car sickness etc. The mismatch between focal distance and stereoscopic distance that you mention must also be an important part of it, I agree!
