If the LHC manages to create mini blck holes, let's be clear here, tese will be very very mini. A black hole weighing what? Same as a couple atoms of carbon?
Holy crap, they're already big enough to swallow entire letters, and it hasn't even been switched on yet!!
They're being upfront about the policy, and it's not even buried in legal mumbo-jumbo - it's RIGHT THERE in the FAQ. If you were going to submit an idea to a corporation and were worried about compensation, wouldn't you try to find that info beforehand? FAQ is a great place to start, and bingo, there it is. Problem solved - if you're looking for compensation, you know not to go to Google with your idea. So where's the prob?
Very little wind? You've never been on the bad side of a supercell, have you
The gust front alone is enough to knock you over at times. Straightline winds, hail, rain shafts, and the occasional random 80mph gust make stable filming very difficult no matter what equipment you have. The other problem is that when you're jumping in and out of a vehicle trying to get to a point where you're close enough to see it but not close enough to get hit AND trying to stay away from the hail shaft, you don't want to be loaded down with equipment. You always ALWAYS need to be ready to quickly get back in and get the hell outta the way.
It wasn't intentional, I actually don't know why they didn't link that one to the larger version. When I get home tonight I'll have to remember to upload some of the pics to my personal gallery. I have some great post-tornado damage pics from that same storm.
You laugh, but that's just about right. After having storm chased with the meteorology students at college and some of the USAF meteorologists, I can tell you some of the stuff that's done on TV is often laughable and downright dangerous at times. They're melodramatic and they push the limits more than is safe, because it makes for a good show.
That's not to say we never did anything stupid... just never on purpose in order to have a good story. Here and here are some of the photos we've gotten (I'm Becky). The seventh set down on that second page were an accident. We almost got caught in that one - took a wrong turn and got stuck in a residential area near Indianapolis. Let's just say, when you start seeing the blue flash from power pylons blowing up closer and closer to you... well, you know you're in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It may look cool on TV but it worries me the number of people who think you can go do this without having a ground support team. Even trained people can make mistakes.
Evolving ROCKS, 'cuz knowledge is power!
It has "[sic]" after it because the fragment is unclear. Whose credibility did Microsoft destroy; its own, its partner's, or someone else's? The fragment should have an object such as "Now we have an upset partner, Microsoft destroyed their credibility," or "Now we have an upset partner, Microsoft has destroyed its credibility, and my own credibility is shot as well."
Basically, that sentence has a number of grammar issues.
Pot, or kettle? (Fixed those grammar issues for you.)
