Apology accepted. I'm sorry I didn't find a more mature way to respond.

Given weight of wood against same weight of steel have equal strength. Large wood structures do not collapse in temperatures over 600C like steel. Wood is not as brittle as concrete, which greatly reduces dangers of earthquakes. Problems co

Hello from Finland. Our country produces more wood than we cut. With paper industry going down, I'm sure we are happy to export.

The text sites this "51%" of greenhouse gas emissions globally. It comes from here: http://www.worldwatch.org/files/pdf/Livestock%20and%20Climat... I can cut this short for you. It's a lie dressed as calculation. It calculates cow breathi

"within the realm of reason" Thats the point I was making. "Although the law doesn’t prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents that are not very serious, harassment is illegal when it is so frequent or severe that it

I'd like to note that "groping" is not mentioned in the article. No other touching either. Just that some creep started to make "inappropriate sexual advances" towards the writer. So it seems to be one time unpleasant conversation. I'd hard

You don't have to have a leaf spring in the bow as is custom right now. With spiral spring, a "crossbow" can look more like a big pistol.

I've kind of been waiting for this. This could provoke really interesting renaissance of the crossbow among street gangs. And other deadly melee weapons might get big leaps of progress. There might be a telescopic sword coming or something

If you do that simply by damping wavelengths of speech, you possibly make opportunity to alter the sound of a gun so that it doesn't set the alarm of. Maybe more importantly the sound of a gunfire would not sound like anything familiar to h

Nothing. That's why police usually sends some patrol to the site to check things up. If you would get a signal of multiple assault weapons firing at the same time, you would not send just one patrol. It's not very likely. Unless someone man

How? With multiple shots it's easy as hell. But from one it's quite hard? You could hear the firing pin hitting the cartridge (harder to hear than engine running) then you should hear the gasses exiting barrel somewhere around 0,001 second

The article is just a rant. I came to comments to see something thought provoking. Like deep analysis on the corrupting factor of monopoly or the problems of large corporations. I'm disappointed.

I was little surprised at first about: "three cars behind the truck at an average separation of 6m". But this is probably an idea to lessen drag. It doesn't matter what powers our cars(gasoline, biofuel electricity), less is less, and we ne

Finnish officer once said to me that when Finnish defense forces ceased to use horses at large,our mobility went greatly down. This happened somewhere around sixties. Only when Sisu Nasu came to use the situation was fixed. I can understand

That's exactly what George Patton should have said to motivate his troops. So I would not consider his quotations worth anything when considering the benefits of U.S. weaponry.

Because feature phones are like mechanical wrist watches. They just don't go away. Personally I'm using only a dumb phone, I think it's going to be at least my daily phone forever. Longer battery life. More durable screen. Mature technology

"The most important thing in the kitchen is the waste paper basket and it needs to be centrally located. - Donald Knuth" This is so true. It also applies in any factory and any construction site and any dorm-room.

The real question is what to do with stupid people? I usually try to hold it as their defense. Something like: "It's OK he said something like that because he's -- well, like that. Now let's change the subject quickly." This makes me look l

A while a go I saw this article that told that strongest correlation with economic success now is with reading skills within that nation in 1900. (sorry I lost the article) What is the reading of today? I think it's coding and here's why: A

Maybe the hat-killer was the discomfort of steel helmets in WWII. Any movie from that war, and all the guys are taking their helmets of all the time because they are annoying.

Finnish military has also this kind of weird "no hat while eating", which comes from Finnish civilian tradition. The only exception is below -20 Celsius temperature. At least in my country it's been tradition to take your hat of inside, bec

I would envision "single-plane reconnaissance" -missions. Lot's of them done from very low tech command "centers". More like a Toyota Corolla with some guy and a laptop, than bunker with tens of people. They would provide lot's to do for en

It will be interesting to see more and more countries building cheap hi-tech military robotics. This will probably chance the doctrines. In short term I'd guess fighters become more relevant as they are needed to identify large quantities o

I agree on most parts but.. "The average car beats the average city bus in terms of energy efficiency." You're just doing it wrong. Your American mass transit systems are organized badly, if you get so few customers, that they don't beat ca

I feel that the problem isn't necessarily discriminating against women. I think the problem is the fact that these guys think their audience to bee so stupid that they fall for sexual appeal.

I really can't judge this as none of the original "offensive" material is accessible.
