First I'd need to get my GSA approval, rent a house in the closest HUD zone and claim it as my primary address, and then see if I have enough minority blood in my system to qualify for the set asides.

Last time I checked, LED street lights cost $1,000.00 each. When was the last time you checked? Several new manufacturing plants for ultra-bright white LED's are on-line just this year. My local Sam's is selling LED bulbs at about what CF bulbs ran when they first hit mass production ($5-$15/bulb, ...

Contact your local politicians and tell them to grab some of that "stimulus" money.

It doesn't add up.

It takes a lot of education to swallow socialism.

I'd like to see it built simply because it would prove our species' prowess of achieving extraoridinary things.

And if it trips us into an ice age?

Reverse the pumps?

This thread is kind of Chekov. Pavel, not Anton.

3,260 light years - is that really close enough to sterilize?

Britain's suitable replacement.

Sci-Fi is now.

Interestingly, my brother just finished a sci-fi movie that parallels: Hive Mind.

The magic you refer to is wrapped around the question of what is the origins of inertia and inertial mass, and can it be dynamically modified by applied E&M fields? In the GRT/Machian view, (QM also takes a different position on this question), the property we call inertial mass comes about from th...

I may be too close to the topic to be of much good to you but consider this. Given that a capacitor dielectric can vary its total mass cyclically over a period of time around an average value, and you can apply an external force to the dielectric so it pushes the dielectric when it is heavy and the...

Could someone Neil deGrasse Tyson or Carl Sagan this concept for me, please? Here's what I think I understand: Apply a high voltage to a piezoelectric material and its mass changes. Somehow, this mass change will cause a thrust. A thrust relative to what? I don't get this part at all. Is it directio...

This is a perception issue, if it's even the case, as evidenced by the high birthrate of lower income immigrants. I'd say it's more of a cultural/social issue than economic, however.
