@aek8: Because there are restrictions in place, for example when you deposit a check you don't get access to the full amount until 3 days later for my bank. I'd assume there must be something like that in place for huge deposits like that.

@hvrock13: It doesn't have anything to do with that. If they are not texting, they are browsing the web. If they are not browsing the web they are playing on their psp or ds(i'm also guilty of that). If they are no playing they are either reading stuff that have nothing to do with the class or talking to the person…

@Phatric: Titanic had a shoddy construction. Corners were cut, for example the bulkeads supposed to keep water to other undamaged compartment were didn't extend all the way to the ceiling making them useless once the water level became high enough.

@johnpooley3: Nitrogen doesn't burn. And there is so little oxygen in regular air that it simply cannot auto ignite. And also remember that combustion=fuel+oxidant. In air that would be oxygen, but there is no fuel. So it simply cannot burn.

@armerad: It will reflect then immediately after it will melt. The photons are bounced back but the mirror is still absorbing part of the energy in the process.

Gliding != Flying.

@ohnoitsaspider: Because all this is just for show. There is zero security in the metro station here at DC and it would be an absolute carnage if someone detonated a backpack bomb at Metro Center during rush hour.

@gizmofan: Peltiers are pretty good at cooling stuff to subzeros temperature but it's not an efficient process. If your cpu is chugging out 200W worth of thermal energy you need to feed the peltier quite a bit more than 200W for it to work properly.

@KyleW: If you tied 2 a380 to to the rocket it would still be able to lift off. That's a bit under 2 millions pounds.

@UltimateIdiot -Enters the Digital Age: I had this happen to me while trying to install windows 95...

"What prevents someone from getting an operation to remove a kidney or any other non essential organ to create a cavity in which they could put ANFO or something else that could be remotely detonated. And just blowing themselves up at the back of the plane where the pressure is subjected to the maximum amount of…

"Do you want to travel to Paris this summer? Easy. Get in your bloody car and drive all the way to Alaska, then cross the Bering Strait in a ferry, and drive all through Asia down to Europe."

@JudyPaceFace: Yes they are. It's almost the same as seeing you naked. Giz probably blurred them for that reason.

@commander_k: Radio wave are electromagnetic radiation, they do travel at the speed of light. It's not sound

@Korsi: It's not that the fad is over. It's just that the market is saturated. The sequels do not bring enough new materials to entice people into buying them. How many times can you sell the same game over and over?

@Jinxxeh: Cocoa as an extremely low sugar content, it's actually bitter as hell in its raw form.

@midnightz: Pretty much what's happen. A lot of those countries had to give away some of their economic advantages in order to have their national debt reduced by bodies like the IMF. So they cannot raise the export prices even though the demand is high. Cocoa is not the only product concerned.

@jetRink: That's because wha Giz wrote is just wrong. The entire casing is made to contain blade failure, not disk failures which are far less likely to happen. Short of using tank armor plating, you simply cannot hope to stop an heavy piece of titanium like a compressor disk from going anywhere if it fails.

@Oedipus: You really have no idea of what you are talking about. [forums.jetcareers.com]
