[b]Trickle Whither Thou Wilt...[/b] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle_down_economics"]Trickle-down economics[/url], also called "supply-side" economics is the idea that making the prosperous more prosperous will cause some of that prosperity to "trickle-down" to the less prosperous.

Obviously it's not quite rocket-science but it still blows my mind the stranglehold the oil companies must have on us, I remember researching a bit on water powered cars last year, and seeing videos on youtube of cars that had been fully reworked to run on water, and get astronomical milage per gallon to what we get now. The capitalist world probably wont be letting up anytime soon, I heard in one country where they wouldn't allow the idea to be patented, pretty sure a big car manufactu
Bi-polar Discussion: Personal Diaries & Theories
There are millions of people who are affected by the everyday burden of bi-polarity. 4 years ago I was completely ignorant to what this disease of the mind was. Quick thinkers or those people in possession of any sort of intelligence wouldve already deduced that I am a diagnosed Bi-polar individual (Hint = Mr Manic M). For better or worse, every part of my life has been severely effected by this disorder. Experiencing mood swings, racing thoughts, and the general feeling of invinsibility has h
[b]The financial crisis[/b] [b]The signs[/b] The financial crisis occured because of a combination of elements. There is probably a widely shared opinion that there has been a financial crisis. Signs and elements of this financial crisis are banks that go bankrupt, companies that go bankrupt, governments that spend huge amounts of money to keep the banks and mortgage organisations working and houses that are sold by the banks because the owners don't manage to pay the mortgage terms.
Who Was The First Person In The World
Who was the first person in space? People have dreamt of travelling in space for thousands of years, but it didn't become a reality until about 40 years ago. On i think 12 April, 1961, the Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin blasted off into orbit in his Vostok 1 spacecraft. He circled the Earth once at an altitude of 320 km (200 miles). "The Earth is blue," he said in awe. LOL.
The Mentos And Diet Coke Reaction
I heard that if you placed mentos into a bottle of diet coke it would create a fountain effect. When I tried this I got covered in coke because of the speed of the reaction. Luckily no sugar means it does attract as many bugs. After this I wondered for a while what exactly is the chemical reaction that takes place between a mentos mint and diet coke. If anyone knows please post. It would be interesting if this only worked with diet coke. One more thing, I have also heard that a group of people

Jesus? Real Or Evil Roman Planning
I am not trying to offend anyone with the following paragraphs, I am merely expressing one of my thoughts on the premise of Jesus being real. I believe there was a man named Jesus Christ back in the time when the Romans ruled Jersualem and Herod was the overseer. However, could he not in reality be someone who was taken in my the Roman government and then processed and brain-washed by them until he was willing to do whatever they whished of him.

Transferring Electricity Via Air.

If this comes into being then i dont think there would be any elecctricity problem ever as the people can get the electricity wirelessley from over the world but if not so then why not just over the country. The place having a large energy production can send the electricity via air to the rural areas where the electricity is scarc and also its valued. The places having a high amount of electricyt
The X Factor In The United Kingdom
This year some amazing singers appear in The X Factor in the United Kingdom. This makes it hard to predict who will win. The judges choise made by Cheryl Cole has been very controversial. Two girl singers who were not able to finish their performances were chosen. While girls who sang well were rejected.
Hey everyone. While I was sitting here cleaning my infected computer and browsing Astahost on another, an idea came to me: what if the original operating system install could store its most valuable and critical operating files on a memory chip of the hard drive (regardless to whether it was a platter or SSD drive), then after installing the OS, the user could move a jumper to set that portion of the memory to read-only? One reason that's a nearly foolproof method for preventing the files
History And Future Of Talent Scout Contest Tv Shows.

I have been a very left leaning liberal atheist for my entire life. But recently my atheistic views have become very frustrating and unfulfilling as the atheist view seems to simply be "we don't know" which is extremely frustrating to me, as I have a great desire to know the truth, the problem here being that we can never know the answer. Given that we can never know the answer, and that an acceptance of this frustrates me, I have found myself increasingly drawn to organised relig
Is X-Men Possible With Genetic Engineering ?
After seeing the X-men movies I have decided to ask today would it be possible to create real "X-men"? With current techniques we are able to remove and implant genetic material into living things. For example we insert certain genes into bacteria so it can make products such as factor 8, for people with hemophelia, and genes into cows that will allow them and their offspring to create upto 20% more milk. So what i'm asking is what is the next step and what will its ethical implica

French President Sarkozy Wants To Ban The Burka
France is a country with a history of secularism and President Sarkozy recently said that the burka was not welcome in France. His reasons for this was on the grounds of women's rights. He claims it is oppressive. People in France are not supposed to demonstrate any form of religious expression in public places (remember the case of the girl wearing the crucifix) I feel if we start targeting individual pieces of religious expression without a wider defining principle then we very quickly en

My paper has received some very encouraging responses from international conferences and is pending for publication in IEE. I am happy to share it here, and I will try to give the basic idea in the simplest way possible, keeping out technical overtures.

Why I Don't Believe In Global Warming
Well, one of the most cited pieces of evidence with regards to this issue is the information gathered by the Hadley Centre at the UK Met Office, which show an increase in temperature from 1860 through to 1940, when a 30 year cooling period begins, before rising again to 0.4C above the 1961-1990 average. Now as I previously stated, the hottest year on record is 1998 and since then the earth has been cooling, this may be a another small cooling period similar to 1940-1970 or the start of a bigger
Stirling Machine + Solar Power?
I don't know have anyone made the system yet. But, if there wasn't I figured that it would be interesting to investigate. Stirling uses difference of temeperature from two surface and turn it into motion which can be use to drive a generator creating electricity. The solar power is plenty and but the reason why we cannot simply rely on them is because of the cost of photovoltaic cells. But what if we can just use array of mirrors to focus light into an one side of stirling machine encl

I honestly thought I was the first person to think of this for the 911 emergency service, but after I googled the term "911 text messaging", I learned that I was wrong. Apparently there are some places that already have this, and that completely stole my thunder. But it is a good concept for those situations when you can't talk on the phone in emergency situations.
Religious Tolerance (-or Lack Of)
I find it disheartening that no matter how evolved our civilization becomes, the lack of religious tolerance seems to have lessened very little - if at all. It's amazing to me how mankind continues to move forward by leaps and bounds in areas such as technology, but when it comes to such a small thing as learning to broaden our tolerance for differences in the way an individual chooses to worship, so many seem to be stuck. It takes so little research to understand that primal aim of most a

It is due to open tomorrow and council officials only found out most of the museums artefacts had been removed - replaced by Banksy's distinctive mash-up of PoMo and urban street art. He had this to say "This is the first show I've ever done where taxpayers' money is being used to hang my pictures up rather than scrape them off." F

Is Democracy the really best kind of government? (This is the view of a fourteen year old, so don't react too much) I would think that a democratic government is a better government than the other ones (Like the one wherein there is only one ruler, and what he/she says goes) because it respects everyone's right of speech. We are allowed to voice our opinions, give our suggestions and make comments about how the government is run. Seeing as the whole population is given a chance to say

Well most of you will be on he same opinion - ALF exist and we believe that one day - soon or later they will come or we will happen to meet them. How will they look like?

I would strongly recommend his book - very well known to the older generation mostly due to the TV series he directed - which is result of his research on popularization of science and
when you think about a swing in a park when people are on them the backwards and forewards movement placed on the swing must create energy (kinetic energy). The only thing is this energy goes to waste you could put a simple generator on the top of the swing where the chains are attached to and then the faster someone swings the more power is generated and this could be sent into the national grid in countries to reduce the amount of power the big fossil burning power plants need to output to kee

How About Some "Skin Sealer" For Medical Use?
I've gotten this idea from a spiderman comic: Suppose we made an apparatus that sealed flesh in the same way bags ate sealed with those little sealite thingies (they look like staplers, but you close them on the bag, they hear up, and you run them across the bag, melting the plastic together). We could have it excrete a substance that temporarily melted to skin like glue, and was soliable to a certain chemical like alcohol so that it could be removed for surgery. These would only be used for
I don't think its possible to create a laser from concentrated light, since light bounces off when it reaches a solid object. I'm just a 14 year old, so I don't really know anything yet. It's just my opinion on the topic. If the laser is made with light, then the light will bounce back, unless (1) the light-laser beams out a line of light (2) directly towards an object, and then instantly (3) puts a mirror so that the light would bounce back and back again. 1 - I'm not sure
Should abortion be permitted? I don't think so. First because abortion is like killing someone. Killing a child, exactly. Killing a child without his/her consent. I don't think that is right. Firstly, if the parents decided to have children, they should have prepared for the children. How would they support the baby if they can't support themselves? The child did not ask to be brought into this world. He/She was brought into this world because of the parent's choices, and now t

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Love will last forever.” I whant to learn more about this and share my opinion with you...

It then can be stored in a capacitator for later or immediate use. Now.....imagine you had a AA battery set-up so that it had a copper coil and magnet inside......then,

So you can type one handed, nor do you need a table. I suspect that chording never took off because people are inherently too lazy to learn anyt
I've been thinking alot about alternative energy recently, and I was wondering, is it possible to get energy from a turbine, then use some of the energy to power the turbine? Does a turbine require the same amount of energy to power it as it produces, or is there any remaining? If this did work, it would produce less energy, but it would pretty much be free energy. All you'd have to do would be to start the turbine off, and let it keep going.

This is not exactly a new idea, but it is a critical one. As we reach peak oil and approach global warming, there is no one technology which can replace everything we currently do with less energy and less polution.

I've asked the opinion of a USAF-member, with several years of experience, and he found the idea just
One night after seeing a movie were a vacuum occurs in space i had a thought, if you use a water wheel with a tank of gas would you be able to spin the wheel thus giving power to the tool. and if so how strong would the vacuum be? Powerful enough to spin a chainsaw? Strong enough to give electricity to a ship? This could be used to the advantage of space travel. Does anyone think it is feasible?
I had an idea today. What if they made a small ‘golf computer’ like a PDA that can be used to help with your course management, club selection etc. It can have a touch screen and can be preloaded with information about the course you are going to play. It could produce all sorts of information about the course including details about each hole, various slopes for the hole as well as the green and possibly a map of each hole. The amount of data that could be stored is huge and golfers will love i
Ever since I was in grade school I always tapped my pencils and pens. My senior year in high school I finally bought a drum kit. Even now though...I still tap my desk, my steering wheel, even my thighs when I'm standing. So I was in the car the other day and I thought it would be awesome if I could make my steering wheel play different sounds depending on where I hit it. Ok, so maybe it might be a little distracting. But it wouldn't be that hard to make little mini tap drums. You k

Grow Your Capitals! With More Safety
Most posble Money growing comes from investing money, but here is factor like loss. When it comes to making investments, most people know that there is always room for a possible loss. Stock market investments in particular are rather notorious for taking a rather well funded portfolio and emptying it rather quickly. Of course, that does not happen all the time, otherwise no one would do it. If, on the other hand, you do not want to take what many consider to be an unnecessary risk, there are a
The 14% Solution is an idea from Frederik Pohl. I think the name is a Sherlock Holmes reference. The basic idea is that taxpayers can opt to pay extra taxes in exchange for more control over the budget. A taxpayer can opt to pay from 1-7% extra federal tax in exchange for a line-item veto on where a percentage of their taxes go. For each 1% extra they pay, they can control 2% of their money, to a maximum of 14%. So, for instance, you could pay 2 1/2% extra and say that 5% of your taxes must go
Recently my ipod had died, too many drops made the hardddrive have difficulty reding the boot files, so it didnt work.... SO a few weeks later i whipped it apart and took a look at the HD.. and the most random thought came to freeze it... now i have a good idea of why this would work, but will explain later for im really tired. But what i did, was put it in the freezer for about 20mins.. then i took canned keyboard duster, turned it upside down and laid down a few freezes on it while it was stil
Well yeah ive been messing around with the concept and have been imagining my hund quarters off and yeah heres a few things - With the ever growing intensity of computer performance, theres been a necessity to cool all of those hot parts. For ages wev'e resorted to metal thats almost completely separate from the chip itself. For one, using metal to cool computer parts is far from the most efficient method. Cooling utilizing liquid instead of air to cool the element is far more efficient, a
This is a salad for real men, not any of that "womeny" stuff. Ingredients: Deep Fried Lettuce 3 or 4 whole sausage links Tobasco Sauce Dressing or Jack Daniels Jalepeno Peppers The bowl is a hollowed out pig roast. The fork is your hand, real men don't need forks.
Simple question: where do you end up if you will long enough go to north-west? Possible answers: starting point or north. Which one is right?
I am sure you have all heard of the double zero degrees question. Well, I have an answer. We are going to be using Celsius and Kelvin to figure this out. 1) Convert 0 C to K: 0 + 273.15 = 273.15 2) From 273.15 which is equal to 0 C we double it with a result of 546.3 K, this is twice as much as zero degrees. 3) Convert it back in celsisus: 546.3 - 273.15 = 273.15 C Therefore twice as much as 0 C is 273.15 C, interesting isn't it?
[font="Trebuchet Ms"] I am currently studying in preliminary college, and we have “Complex Numbers” as a part of our syllabus. Its definition can be made as- Z = a + i b (Where a,b are real numbers and [b]i = √-1 [/b]) Now, we have [b]i = √-1 [/b] and hence [b]i[/b] becomes an imaginary number. But we have figured out a way to expand our imagination, and relate it to reality! Here goes, just some mathematical operations playing with [i]the unity[/i] and, i =
The power of computing has been utilized in the music industry for quite a while now... beginning with the mandatory Cubase installation in every self-respecting studio, and going up to music that is created solely by a CPU. Music helps us express ourselves, and machines help us create music. The prices of various types of DSPs (digital signal processors) for guitarists have been sky-high since the dawning of effects. They will also continue to be expensive because the technology that enables t

Well, I've worked out a solution! At the time of construction, a vertical [i][b]hollow[/b][/i] column be inserted such that it passes through [i]each of the kitchens in the building[/i]. There may be multiple such columns so that all kitchens are covered in a vertical column. Then, each kitchen would bear an
[font="Trebuchet Ms"] A matter of $1... Once A, B & C went to a restaurant. After having tea and light refreshment they asked for bill, the amount of bill was $30. They decided to pay the bill amount on equal share. Everybody took out $10 from their pocket and paid the bill. They were yet sitting and gossiping in restaurant, Suddenly the waiter realized that the amount of their bill was $25 and not $30. He took $5 from counter and decided to return it to them
Representing Fractions With Continued Fractions
The decimal method of representing fractions has its peculiarities such as .99999... = 1 and the need for infinite repeating threes to represent a third. Then there are the irrational numbers who are represented by an infinite sequence of digits with no pattern. I have been exploring the possibility of using continued fractions to represent fractions instead. The advantages include the fact that all rational numbers are represented by a finite sequence and that square roots are represented by
Something To Ponder Upon... ;) 0.9 = 1
ok, i'm new here, so i thought i'd show you something neat but first of all, my notation - when I mean a number is recurring (going on forever, the recurring part will be in [b]bold[/b]. (for example - 0.[b]9[/b] means 0.9999999... 0.[b]42[/b] means 0.4242424242... and 0.4[b]5[/b]6[b]7[/b] means 0.4567567567...) if you wish to express a number as a fraction, you can use this simple trick: 0.[b]43[/b] as a fraction: first call the number [i]I[/i] so [i]I[/i] = 0.[b]43[/b] therefo
[color="#6600CC"][size=3][font="Comic Sans Ms"]Problems can be very easily solved, if ya' just think simple enough! 1) We dig a moat along the Southern United States, the length of Mexico. 2) We use the dirt to raise the levee's around New Orleans. 3) We wait for this year's hurricane season to fill the moat with rainwater. 4) We put all of Florida's alligators IN the moat!

[font="Trebuchet Ms"] Hey, there are infinite ways to get an error on a hand-help 12-digit calculator. But has anyone thought, what's the EASIEST way of doing it? Well, you need to press ONLY TWO keys in order that you get an error on the calculator (except the ON key ofcourse). Think about it and post your thought here. I'll be posting the answer tomorrow (23rd May 2006). -Omkar Ekbote [/font]

[attachment=333:attachment]The universe, the world, on to the human mind itself depend on electricity for function. Viewing electricity as software to make hardware work we can delve into the world of toying with that software and then developing the hardware to house its function. Electricity is where it all begins.
