If stripes are for insects not biting, then how come some species have developed only partial stripes? Would not make sense to get all the flies to concentrate on your non striped body-parts... Against lions this makes perfect sense as havi

That youtube video is propaganda. Note how almost every single missile fired by f-22 hits, while enemy missiles lose their target constantly. It doesn't tell why U.S. missiles would be better. Also I find the explanation why f-22 would be b

I thought U.S. has practical monopoly up there. At least in military surveillance satellites.

I'd guess that fighter camouflage also makes fighters more harder to track visually from satellites. This might not interest Americans, but for some air forces it could be a factor?

Zebras used it even before that. Practically all camouflage ideas can be found from nature.

One of the biggest threads to a fighter is another fighter flying above it. From the upper guys perspective everything is moving and everything below is green/grey/brown or dark blue. At the same time stealth technology is rising and using

I'd like to warn people about cheesy customer testimonials. Nothing says "scam" just like testimonials can. http://www.nuratrim.com/before-and-after-photos-21-c.asp

Anytime someone emphasizes free, I instantly start to think where's the catch. Something like: "FREE TRIAL!!" - "wanna spam me with email?"

Serious CAD could be for example: AutoCAD, Solid Edge, pro/e, Catia, microstation just to name few. ArchiCad doesn't fit my needs as it's practically only for visualizing buildings. Last time I tried VariCad it was unusable due to bugs. And

I'm using Windows 7 for CAD. I now use Solid Edge, I used to do AUTOCad and I think I'm headed for Pro/E. I'd like to use anything but Windows, but guess how plentiful are my options to use CAD on other systems? Nonexistent. The economic ni

It's only OS that can do serious CAD. That's it. Would use linux if I could.

There is other breeds of nerds here. Me for one. I do mechanical nerd-stuff and I need windows for CAD. But I guess there is not enough of us here to explain that number.

You mean capillary action? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_action I think this is somehow linked to viscosity, but I don't seem to find how.

Maybe it's not a business case. But respecting your customers is at least a possible business strategy.

Thanks for the insight! My original message was just me not understanding your real point. I'm usually little allergic to an attitude like "you can't understand this high magic!", but in this case I must apologize my misunderstanding.

With the same logic it's bad to show a dentist in television doing anything else than playing with peoples teeth. At least he/she should take of the lab-coat before playing guitar or buying coffee. And it must be bad thing to show a cleanin

For most materials monocrystalline casting is still science fiction. And as much as I've studied the subject, metals are used so much because they have good strength properties at relatively high temperatures. These glass metals turn liquid

We can't vote. Simple as that. I actually do care a lot, and I feel violated if the law passes, but I'm completely helpless.

It's really difficult to fire a teacher in Finland too. Practically impossible if the teacher in question doesn't do violence to kids or come to work drunk.

As some kind of thumb rule, less than lethal usually means that about 2% die and 5% don't get affected. You can make it more effective so that everybody is affected, but then the percentage of dead people rises. Or other way around. Usually

Social contacts are more important that you might think. I used to think that I'm introvert, but nowadays I've discovered that I need a daily dose of real life social interaction. Problem here is that when you finally meet someone to chat w
