At one point I loved this coaster, yet now I HATE IT! I only put it up because I invested so much time and money ( see below to understand the money aspect ). It’s not 100% completed and never will be. I’m too burned out on it. Looking at the video I think to myself “Man this sucks”. Maybe I’m just burned out on this project. Who knows. Hopefully you enjoy it. I think it looks childish to be honest. This was originally designed to be entered into a contest; however, because it took SO LONG to mod my computer to handle this large of a project I missed the deadline by a few minutes. I know I didn’t finish up the supports. I don’t care. I could not stomach working on this any longer. To get this to work properly I had to do the following. 1.) Drill 2 holes in my computer case and install 2 120mm fans that blow 88cfm of air. 2.) Apply a new high quality heat sync to my Processor. 3.) Upgrade my Power Supply from 450W to 620W. ( Modular is the way to go ) 4.) Install a new Video Card. 5.) Overclock the S#!t out of everything except my memory. My RAM doesn’t have heat spreaders. Stupid design that I should have noticed. I could have purchased replacement RAM that did have them but oh well. These are the Stats. Excitement 8.25 Intensity 5.05 Nausea 3.25 Positive G’s 3.2 Negative G’s -1.4 Lateral G’s 0.91 Drops 27 Inversions 14 I don’t think I used any scenery that came with the game except a few trees. Everything was CS. Thanks to Vodhin who helped more than he knows.

me and my friend try to design stupid machine, need info? ?
Question by Aaron S: me and my friend try to design stupid machine, need info? ?
ok once this has been answered i’ll tell you how all these things relate:
what is the average weight of a male and female (i mean human, for all those pedantic out there, keep up the good work ; ))
what is the weight of the moon
what is the density of steel
what is the highest amount of rpm achieved by a man made engine including jet turbines and stuff like that.
generally at what speed would a human impacting with water disintegrate or come close to disintegrating (been squashed to about the thickness of a pancake by surface tension is good too)
and just for comparison how many joules was produced when the largest atomic bomb went off.
answer all these and you get best answer and explanation of what the hell we are thinking of making (well not actually making but lathing over, man we’re sadistic).
Best answer:
Answer by Dave D
1 million tons of TNT contains 4.2E15 joules of energy. So the largest atomic bomb ever tested was 60 megatons, or 2.5E17 joules.
When Mythbusters dropped Buster into water from a height of 100 feet, he was utterly destroyed. So you can compute the velocity from that.
The highest RPM ever attained was a small diameter magnetically levitated steel needle, which was spun up to 60 million RPM before the centrifugal force caused it to fail.

Having some stupid web design trouble, need help.?
Question by KPizzle: Having some stupid web design trouble, need help.?
So yeah, basically I haven’t even really added anything yet. All I’m trying to do is get a background color and a background image set and to repeat horizontally in a external style sheet. I can’t seem to find any errors in my XHTML file and everything seems like it should. I did link the file in the XHTML so I don’t know whats happening, maybe I did something wrong, I don’t know. I can’t find the problem. When I upload it to my host to see if it works, absolutely nothing comes up, not the colors, nor the image. I’m not very good at web design yet, so any tips will also be appreciated.
Here’s the XHTML part of it:
And here’s the style sheet link:

Damn, I still have a shit-load to learn. Thanks James. you got +10 once I can pick.

Answer by James
Take out the # sign in the CSS.
You only use a number sign if you are referring to a div’s id, like if you had done this:
Then, you would have to refer to that by #body. When you just want to address the actual body of your HTML, you don’t use it.

Can ANYone help me design a UFo type vehicle with jet engines providing vertical takeoff without rotary blades?
Question by blakedellefave: Can ANYone help me design a UFo type vehicle with jet engines providing vertical takeoff without rotary blades?
Not talkin helicopters. More along the lines of UFO alien vehicle type designs that use micro jet engines for lift. Only need it to fit 1 person in cockpit with glass dome for windshield and instrument reading board to hold portable gps system and CB radio. Preferably a more modern design. Doesn’t have to b proffesional evn a picture will do. No design is stupid. * all design welcome example=

Ive got about 900 pounds of thrust with all three engines
Two for thrust and 1 for stabilizing the aircraft

Answer by metaphoricwolf
It is possible but probably but not very practical while flying. The problem is not going up but moving around in the air and then landing. I guess I could make the body move like a Frisbee but that could take years to actually come up with the right design. As for jet engines you might want to consider them not being micro but built into the vehicle so where people only see the bottoms. As for trying to land something like that I have no idea.

The Universe is Rated R
The more I learn about the universe, the less convinced I am that there’s any sort of benevolent force that has anything to do with it, at all -Neil degrasse Tyson The Universe is Rated R for Cosmic Violence. Since the Big Bang the Universe has been a dynamic mix of exploding stars, colliding galaxies, black holes, dark matter, comets and asteroids- this cosmic violence is on such an immense scale that it makes our tiny planet seem like a distant spectator hoping not to be noticed by the war of the titans. But it will be noticed and has been in the past. There is a huge nuclear fire ball called the sun in our solar system that will become a red giant and the Andromeda galaxy heading towards our own galaxy. Our planet has no choice but to be part of this cosmic violence. And the Universe itself has to deal with its own demise. “This too shall pass” is a “universal” statement. A universe in which everything is known would be static and dull, as boring as the heaven of some weak-minded theologians-Carl Sagan The more I learn about the universe, the less convinced I am that there’s any sort of benevolent force that has anything to do with it, at all-Neil degrasse Tyson This present-day version of God of the gaps goes by a fresh name: intelligent design. The term suggests that some entity, endowed with a mental capacity far greater than the human mind can muster, created or enabled all the things in the physical world that we cannot explain through scientific methods.

Ostrich. By the way, I know the answer, and if you’re very polite to me, I’ll tell you. Or, you could read a page or two from Darwin.

Is this a stupid design idea?
Question by Satinette: Is this a stupid design idea?
Idea for a student project:The project is to promote fresh and healthy food at the canteen using posters and flyers. Now this is one of my ideas – using a cigarette-shaped box as a base graphic, but instead of cigarettes, having images of beautiful photographs of fruits. Instead of “Surgeons warning: will cause lung cancer”, have “Will fight cancer” (fruit and veggies that is).
The only thing I’m worried about is the negative connotation of a cigarette box. That’s the only thing. Is my idea clever enough to avoid the negativity of this association? My idea is, after all, playful concept of how fruit and vegs are like opposites of cigarettes – one causes cancers, the other fights and protects (to an extent) cancers.
