I think you should take a quick shufty at "Jokes For Dummies".
A simple whoosh will do nicely here on Slashdot, thank you very much
I probably should had put a
The problem with wave farms is that they harness the gravitational power between Earth and the Moon. If this energy is dissipated, this gravitational force is reduced, and as a consequence, the Moon will move towards the Earth in an increased pace.
I think you might need to go back and re read physics for dummies.
Exactly, like with the theory of evolution and intelligent design. If the same amount of time was put towards the proof of intelligent design as with the theory of evolution, the atheists wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
Well the Intelligent design people had a couple of thousands of years working on their story. The scientists only ~160 years since Darwin wrote his 'On the Origin of the Species'. So I'd say we should give the scientists another 1900 years before we make any conclusions.
If you do it yourself, make sure you use a VCR with S-Video output. The regular composite cables (red, white, yellow) combines the chroma (color) and luminance (brightness) into one signal. That means boundary with a high brightness contrast will bleed into the color (and vice versa) and you'll get marching ants. S-Video encodes these two signals separately and eliminates that particular problem. The biggest quality improvement I saw while encoding VHS and Hi-8 tapes myself came from switching to S-Video cables.
marching ants I mean I guess I should be happy that you gave a source, but it would be even cooler if it had just remotely shttp://ask.slashdot.org/story/14/09/05/2222235/ask-slashdot-best-service-to-digitize-vhs-home-movies#omething to do with the subject of marching ants
Newsflash: humans use approximations when convenient for explaining something, and do not use strict definitions at all times.
Bah silly humans, you don't even have a working protocol for inter individual communication and you think that you are going to master fusion.
Why can't the fucking thing just drive me home when I'm drunk or sleepy - really that's what all this car automation stuff is all about. Drunk, sleepy - take me home car.
Dave: Open the pod bay doors, CAR. CAR: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that. Dave: What's the problem? CAR: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do. Dave: What are you talking about, CAR? CAR: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
Sorry, but the logic here escapes me. Aren't the danger of crossed-tethers exponentially greater than the danger of colliding drones?
Not only that, but it is also a very expensive balloon on a string.
Na, just a few little wires.

Perhaps they meant, one of the only underwater labs with a Fabien Cousteau in it?
Not that that helps anything, but still, who knows what they are trying to say.
Then invalidated the mod point by posting in the same discussion..
I modded this insightful.
- Honey, can't you turn the strobing 100W lights down while we watch this romantic movie?
- No-can-do, that would kill the Netflix stream
+1 for the name alone. ++1 if it also captured and uploaded youtube videos of sharks at the beach.
It would've been even better if it was called the Shark-Bouy, though.
