People can do 2kW for a little while, you need closer to ~50kW or really really big and light wings. At which point your 200lb of battery's and moters bump that to ~100kW.

Business cards are hardly ideal. But, knowing that someone now has your correct contact information, because you just handed it to them is worth something. The problems only really show up when you want to keep several addresses at the sa

When considering a possible failure you need to consider their 100 billion cash horde which at ~20$ of their market cap is vary stable. Especially when compared to companies like Exon which depend on oil prices and the highly leveraged fi

That's not really true. I bought a i7 2600k over a year ago and no better CPU has come out and it's price is virtually unchanged. So while waiting less than 3 months for the next Intel CPU is probably worth it, last year I knew I would hav

Edit: I don't work with such things, but posting the first version of this felt unwise so I cut a few things. Stinger's cost ~38k and are not guaranteed to work so multiply that by the probability of failure. You can buy drone control syste

Cool, thanks!

The thing about drones is you can build them cheaply enough that it cost the enemy more to shoot them down than it costs to build more of them. Instead the military has decided to simply make fighter planes that don't need pilots but that'

"Top Secret" projects do share information with other "Top Secret" projects and over time many things do get declassified. IMO, the real problem is drones are simply more useful and a lot less expensive but chances are they can take a fai

The fact that Chrome added incognito window is a good sign, the fact that there is still no flash block is a bad one IMO. Honestly, I think gmail and search are probably more dangerous when it comes to privacy. People can track the inform

I understand where your coming from, but IMO there is a world of difference between a call to action and making things worse to leverage your market dominance. Can you honestly think of any reason for this screen not to just show other opti

Thanks for that, I suspect infection is still probably a more serious risk overall, but a 4+T MRI does give me pause. PS: Then again at 10T you get to fly so it may still be worth the risk. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1vyB-O5i6E ;-)

I use chrome on an 64 bit Win7, i7 2600K with 16GB ram and a 35/35 FIOS connection and plenty of flash sites slow things down to a crawl. Honestly, I cant help but wonder what exactly some developers expect people to use.

Flapping wings do not simply vibrate vertically. Wings are hinged so they can greatly reduce the amount of air they push back up on the up stroke and to generate significant amounts of lift it takes a really dramatic motion. You can see ho

Last I checked the MRI risk seemed low due to it's placement, shape, and the minimal strength of the magnet. Do you have any specific concerns? PS: What if I need an MRI? Originally it was thought that the magnets would always rip out of

I have seen people killed on the evening news before. Granted I don't recall anyone using a gun to 'blow their own brains out', but if they will show: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Douglas_Wells the limitation is simply is it news.

You could say the same things about fingerprints but it's uncommon for a company to collect your fingerprints without you knowing.

Would a 1.5% wealth tax / year be worse for you if it replaced both short and long term capital gains? I don't mean to penalize you, but rather combat the type of entrenched mult generational wealth that's really damaging while also removi

It's rare for websites to cater to your display resolution. So when you use a first gen iPhone your still wasting the same bandwidth as the iPad3 even if you don't notice the difference.

Without doing anything 105 Men are born per 100 woman. With a population of ~1.338 billion you would expect up to 1000/205 * 5 = 32 million extra men. Men don't live as long as woman on average which tends to balance the genders. But, Chi

All Doctors treating the average american say to eat better, exercise more, and get more sleep. The only difference is when people don't do these things they still get better with "Western medicine" vs. blaming the patent.

That's hardly a meaningful rebuttal. C = 2 * Pi * r = Tau * r A = Pi * r ^2 = Tau / 2 * r PS: When dealing with radians Tau is fine, but I like showing +Pi and -Pi both point away from 0.

1080p is close to but not 2k and 4k is not 8 times the resolution of 2k. 1080p = 1920 x 1080 2K = 2048×1080 = 1.066 * 1080p 4K = 4096×2160 = 4 times 2k = 4.266 x 1080p http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Digital_cinema_formats.svg
