yes, and if that angle is shallow it should be fine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROT_%28av…

You think they would spend billions if not trilions, yet they would neglect to figure out the correct turn radius ahead of time? If you want to argue for the sake of arguing fine but come.on.man? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROT_%28av…

Unfortunately, everyone and every state has a price. And with the right incentives (down to mirco/homeowner level) it can be done and right of way would not be an issue IMHO. This project has a few things for it that oil industry doesn't. It WOULD create jobs short term, but recurring revenues to the state/county…

incentive the states and they will be for it. by incentive I mean $wise. They can get a % of revenues on all travels.

I think you need to familiarize your self with physics. We are currently traveling and taking a turn at 30,000 miles an hour (on planet earth), the reason we do not get sick is because once you obtain velocity and maintain it, we do not notice the speed at all. You also make it sound (inaccurately i may add) that they…

Sure, I was illustrating that if a 48" pipe can be laid down through Alaska, given the right initiatives, legal approvals and if the populace in each state sees the benefit of having a Rail-Tube go through their backyard (say by giving each state involved get a % of the revenues), it is not that improbable to have a…

The oil industry has laid down 48" of pipeline in Alaska. this is no different. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Ala…

Right on the money here: no one said it was underground and this article is flawed by the shear assumption it will be under ground. Part of the cost cutting would be the easy to assemble, possibly off the shelf components that would go into creating an above ground tube system.

For those that get calls they want to ignore, you can download a "silence" ring tone. Drop it into your ringtone on iTunes and sync it to your phone. This was the single most valuable thing I learned from the internets lately. here is the silence ringtone: http://www.codingmerc.com/blog/silence-r…

Can you write a piece from the HOST's perspective as well? What to avoid? possible issues that have risen in some cases ... e.t.c.

How do you sink a polish submarine?

I expected nothing else from you Hatori. A very informative critique with clearly and well written reasons why these are terrible and not clever. I am amazed how you fit all that data in 6 words. "Hatori Hanzo hella hacks hosts' post"

this comment will be tough to beat.

As an artist that has not learned to let go, it pained me to see him erase his work, physically saying "don't do it".

This thread is so HA LOL!

hahahaha. he got fired?? really? this. is . awesome

I-beams? or i-Beams? Quick, someone buy www.ibeam.com!

still waiting on this ...

Every time this one mushroom walked into a bar, everyone would cheer and stand up and clap and hug him. You know why?

Here is the burning question I have. What would happen if you fired this positron-laser at some ones skin?
