The flying car was developed back in the late forty's: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerocar Even then they knew it would be a bad idea...

I was right there and didn't even see it. Thanks Pattonias! This seems to have helped.

OK. So the title wasn't the best... Example: I am running IE8. Say I have a window open on the Yahoo main page. Then I navigate away from it for 10, 20, 50 minutes or several hours. If after that I type Yahoo.com in the address bar, I will get the page 'unrefreshed' as I last visited it...

*sigh*

I'm not sure if this entire post is in response to mine or not.

I stand humbly corrected. It would be nice however if there were no search results.

Sounds like you've answered your own question. :smile:

I had a dog, and his name was bingo!

Racism in the U.S. will never go away before its profitabillity does - and prejudice will not go away because it is human nature.

It's been a while since I've seen it so I can't say if it's "good" physics, but Donnie Darko was good.

Negative. Numbers are used to to explain mathmatics. That said, you'd be hard pressed to communicate any worthy idea without things like dimensions, time, velocity, and so on. It's sad to say, but if we are to understand ourselves, we must understand maths. Or, more realistically, pay someone...

Joking aside, the OP does have an interesting idea (perhaps more interesting before the calculator). Take pi for example. Using the above mentioned system, pi would sound something like 'f-(point)-bib-juf'. If you commit this system to memory, this sound could be more easily recolectable than...

On the contrary, I have actually found this to be quite fun. This is not at all meant to be at your expense. :smile: Not sure I understand. The letter and number are interchangeable. No undue importance. So what would 88 "sound" like? OK, that was in poor taste.

A number has a value which can be altered simply by putting other numbers around it. This isn't so with letters, but... Let's say one commits to this system: 0= a 1= b 2= e 3= f 4= i 5= j 6= k 7= o 8= t 9= u If I have 10 atoms, I have 'ba' atoms. If my friend has 30 atoms, he...

Since I got DVR I rarely see commercials anymore and when I do, I'm very sensative to their predatorial and manipulative attempts. One of my favorites (I have many) are the ones that tell me how pressed I am for time, how valuable it is and how this product will change my life. Advertising...
