RE: LIFE IS...

Then beware of SC, the great meeting place of northerners and Californians... I prefer to live among the Indians.

RE: LIFE IS...

You should see my neighbors, indian territory...they weren't kidding.

RE: why do younger men want older women and why do older women wan younger men

Hmm a double standard at work... an older man can date and marry younger women but the younger man must be looking for mommy... Maybe the younger man is tired of giggly little girls whose rooms are littered with dolls and wants someone who is responsible, realistic and dare i say, jaded.

RE: walk on the moon

Yeah, I know google is useful and I'm not knocking it, dogpile is nice too. I used google as an HTML resource when I coded websites. I never needed the classes, I learned from my computer engineer father...I'm an engineers' son, of course it sounds like I'm babbling.

Incidently, the computers on the Apollo 11 lander were 32k, that's some pretty tight code.

Hostile are we? The googling thing was supposed to be a complement.
Seems like this is less important than, say... world hunger, nuclear war, pollution, bird flu, the ozone, or the fact that in July of 1962; project starfish, while trying to blow a hole in the V.A. belt (with a nuke), created another belt of radiation (subjective to location) 25 times stronger. (google: project starfish nuclear) Can't be more proud of them.blushing

Honestly I did get the number from an Apollo=hoax site but you can find the starfish project on the NASA site too.

RE: walk on the moon

Know how many employees Coca-Cola has? Can you tell me all the ingredients of Coca-Cola? My uncle used to work with them, there are (at last known) three people who know the formula, they are required by company charter (and thus, law) to travel by seperate planes etc. so that the formula isn't lost. It's not imossible if you put your mind to it.

Cool, and the film? It takes 25 rads to ruin the film.

RE: A question about american dollars

Hate to burst your bubble but there is a difference, there are small polymer security threads running down the center of the bill from top to bottom. The threads are an anti-counterfeiting measure, the twenty has a thread in one place, the ten in another. The thread is visible to light (not going to help the blind), available to touch and if you remove it (which, I believe, is a Federal offense) it says USA twenty... or USA ten...

Or so I've heard...

RE: walk on the moon

Allright now you're hitting me where I live, math. I suck at math. Props to you for pulling the numbers, I'm guessing you didn't recite them from memory (if you did, you're freaking amazing). I'm not here for a fight but I've gotta admit, I still have doubts (the later post by AdventureBegins does kinda give me hope).

I've still got a few questions, since your googling skills are obviously superior. I'm an amateur photographer, so here are some photography-based questions.

1 What explains the multiple shadow angles in the pictures? There should only be two at maximum, Sun and Earth.

2 Where can I get a Hasselblad camera? With no viewfinder, the astronauts took 5771 semiperfect pictures in 4834 minutes. They still had time for a little golf, chatting with Nixon, housekeeping (checking their equipment, deploying the instruments, riding the 8mph rover, deploying the flag)

Extra Vehicular Activity Photos

Apollo 11........... 121
Apollo 12........... 504
Apollo 14........... 374
Apollo 15..........1021
Apollo 16..........1765
Apollo 17..........1986

Cross referenced with NASA time logs of the landings

Apollo 11........one photo every 15 seconds
Apollo 12........one photo every 27 seconds
Apollo 14........one photo every 62 seconds
Apollo 15........one photo every 44 seconds
Apollo 16........one photo every 29 seconds
Apollo 17........one photo every 26 seconds

Enlighten me.

PS
Would the radiation harm the computer chips, which at the time were about as sophisticated as modern washing machine chips. (My brother works on plasma jets for MPI in Tulsa, he knows a thing or two about precision sensors) Sorry for the long post.

RE: walk on the moon

Yep, s'posed to be a solar wind...which astronauts couldn't survive, know what happens when you put something metallic in the microwave? Now look at what's not happening to the lander, rover and astronauts.

RE: walk on the moon

Considering that there were multiple shadows where there should be only one (no supplied lights) or two, there was the largest solar flare on record that week and the thousand degree temps would bake the tin foil-suited astronauts like a potato... I agree with you... not likely.

Oh yeah, the Russians came back with radiation poisoning and their capsules were a lot more advanced (not to mention thicker).

RE: Fun ?

They?...Um, dude, you got somethin to tell us?confused

RE: Maybe it will be better to leave

English is hard, I'm a hillbilly, I know... but you have to remember that the reason that most of us are here is because we're the shy now, warm up later kind of people. It would be sad to see you miss out because we haven't seen enough of you to get to know you.

The magic word is: hi.wave

RE: How much thought did you put into your CS name & what does it mean to you?

It's my poetry pen name.

RE: So do you feel lucky?

"Dreams come to those who work while they dream."

Man, I hope that's true...

RE: how do u control ur anger?

rolling on the floor laughing laugh everyone needs a hobby, right? Why not educate while you're at it? It's a public service.

Learned martial arts when dad looked at me one day and said, son if you're as scrawney as me with a mouth like your mom you're gonna need to defend yourself... Luckily I kept growing...

RE: So do you feel lucky?

Been there, what kind?

RE: So do you feel lucky?

Licky? That could make you very popular.

RE: I saw ashooting star once and ....

learned to duck when I saw Cheney.

RE: What do you prefer in your partner agewise...older or younger?

Younger to a point, 5 years is my absolute cutoff point and even that's wierd for me. I've always been more mature for my age so as long as she's not a peer for my parents...

RE: being here only a short while ive noticed

Hey from west of the Mississip, former SC native, loved GA scenery.wave

RE: What are a few of your favorite movies?

Alien and Preditor series (soo funny)
The Ring (haven't seen #2)
The Layer Cake
Kingdom of Heaven
Kung Fu Hustle
The Tool Dissectional (music videos count?)

RE: what do men want, really?

Well put, with the anchors on either end of the list.

RE: Is there a song that makes you cry ?

No Leaf Clover by Metallica, (I don't know whydunno )

Nice dodge of a dodge. Ok, I'll ask, whatcha up to?

Yes, and we found you very funny. The man asked what you're up to a little while ago.

RE: You have got to read this...

Sorry, we were focusing on you. (sidetracked)
