I talk to my friends on deviantART in science

Are we allowed to talk about speed? ;D It\'s cool anyway 8)

When we have two parties that don\'t inspire confidence (and it happens now and again!) you do get a bit of what we call 'informal voting' and 'donkey voting'. An informal vote is one in which you don\'t follow the instructions to correctly register a preference. You are legally obliged to show up at the polling booth and get your name marked off, but since the ballot is secret, you can do whatever you like with your ballot paper; you can leave it blank, you can write 'You all suck' on it, you can draw a picture of a pony, whatever you like. All of these votes (obviously including the ones where people mark ballots incorrectly by accident) are gathered together and called 'informal'. If both major parties suck, your informal vote skyrockets. I expect a high informal at our next election! Donkey voting is when you protest by not caring; you just vote 1,2,3,4 etc down the page without bothering about which candidate is which. I dislike this form of protest because a donkey vote IS A FORMAL VOTE. So donkey votes artificially inflate the candidate numbered '1' (for this reason the law says candidates must be randomly allocated in each division). There is a bit of this kind of protest voting. However our system allows a better way of protesting. Like most major democracies, we have two major parties (namely the left-wing Labor party, and the right-wing Liberal party[1]; and you can be pretty sure that ultimately one of those two will win most of the divisions. But minor parties or independent candidates CAN have an impact because we have a preferential system - in other words, you don\'t just tick the candidate you want and cross the other guy; you rank the candidates in order from most preferred to least preferred. If the election is close, the preferences of people voting for the independents and minor candidates can decide who wins many seats. Like the USA we have two houses - House of Representatives and the Senate. Unlike the USA, in which the party of the president finances his/her campaign but doesn\'t really figure in the election, the party with the most representatives is considered to be elected as government, and one member of that party is elected (by their party members) as Prime Minister. One curious result of this is that there\'s absolutely no reason why a party couldn\'t go to an election with leader Herp, then win the election (But Herp loses his seat) and instead elect Derp as PM. This system has a big advantage over the US system - if a PM is really doing a terrible job, there\'s an easy system for removing him or her (if the party loses confidence in them and has a vote as such, the PM is sacked). The disadvantage is that it\'s all too common for a sitting Prime Minister to be ousted by their own party on the back of bad results in the Opinion Polls (that is, not necessarily doing a bad job!). Our current PM 'knifed' our last PM, and this is a real problem for many of her traditional voters. Exactly. But right now, appealing to the centre ground won\'t get a candidate much traction. It\'s easier to convince people who don\'t vote BUT ALREADY SHARE YOUR VIEW to just get out there and vote than it is to convince people to change from voting one way to voting another way. This is why Presidential candidates tend to appeal to either the redneck vote or the bleeding heart vote - it\'s just the path of least resistance. In Australia, the whacked out fascists and the crazy communists are already voting, so appealing to the extremes doesn\'t actually help you. Instead, you need to put the effort into capturing the middle ground. You say that the majority of Americans are fairly centrist, and I\'d say you\'d be absolutely right. But your system doesn\'t actually reward politicians who truly represent them. Our system does. Perhaps the diagram below might help explain what I mean. Oh, they\'re quite willing to sabotage each other. But when I talk about party discipline, I mean something a little different. Our two parties certainly don\'t work together much. But they are disciplined. Every time Congress comes to a vote, the numbers of the votes will be slightly different. This is because Democrats and Republicans who feel strongly about an issue may well vote against their party. Therefore, in order to get a bill through Congress, a president or member often has to sacrifice a lot of what is good about their bill to get it through. In Australia, we consider that if a person has been elected on behalf of a particular party, they are obliged to vote with that party EVERY TIME SOMETHING COMES BEFORE PARLIAMENT. There are, of course, exceptions. A member who votes against their party is described as 'Crossing the floor'. But this is an extremely unusual event, and since the member was elected as a member of their party, it is viewed very seriously. If that member holds any ministry, they\'re required to resign. Consequently, a party that is elected in Australia has a much easier time of enacting their platform. In fact, to promise something and fail to deliver it is a very bad mistake for a party here. Of course it happens frequently, but it really harms your re-election chances if you do it. A curious example - the current Prime Minister went to the last election promising that there\'d not be a tax on Carbon dioxide emissions. The Carbon Tax is to be enacted this year! Here\'s the weird bit: Most Australians actually have little or no problem with the tax itself (there are a fair few people who disagree, or course, but polls have repeatedly demonstrated that people are generally okay with it). They DO have a problem with what is perceived as Ms Gillard\'s dishonesty - she went to the election promising 'no' but changed her mind once elected. The Labor Party will probably lose the next election because of this issue. It shouldn\'t be. Since the main power of government is to sign cheques (think about it - if they want to do something, government has to pay people to do it!), the budget is a key statement of priorities. Now, every government deviates from their budget because you can\'t plan for every event. However, governments should stick to budget as much as possible. Also, see what I said about party discipline. In Australia, a party promises X, Y and Z (and recently they\'ve been asked to submit their policies to Treasury to be costed). They then allocate the Nation\'s funds accordingly. Since they\'re elected to enact their platform, the budget should pass without any question or comment. Otherwise it\'s like having a new election every year! Well, if you can\'t cope with an inch-long spider that can kill a horse with its bite, you\'re probably too pitiful and weak to come here anyway. [1] Ironically Australian Liberals are not 'liberals' in the American context, they\'re conservatives! The name comes from a different use of the word - the Liberal party includes a fair number of different right-wing perspectives, ranging from fairly far right (think Tea Party Republicans) to Centrist (think bleeding heart Democrats). In the sense of a wide variety of views, they can truly said to be liberal.

Voting for the president here is, in a way, voting for the party too. Not nearly to the extent as you describe, but very often if a party wins the presidential race, they also get majority house in Congress (which does all the voting on laws, bills, etc etc.) Not always, but often. Here, the party chooses who will run for president; called the Primaries. Right now the Republicans are narrowing down who will face Obama. I believe it\'s between Romney, Gingrich and Ron Paul (very unlikely to win). If you belong to the party, you get to vote on who will become the presidential candidate. So, we do get to narrow it down to 'Who we like best'/most likely to win for that party. Problem is they all blow. Which is why many people don\'t vote. The democrats are going with Obama (who will probably win the whole thing), so no primaries for them. There\'s plenty of talk on what they\'ll do in the upcoming 4 years, that\'s all they do really. However, a lot of them kiss ass to win. So it\'s likely you\'ll see them take completely opposite views to matters they had a few years ago to appeal to the public. Usually resulting in 'Mr. so and so, you want to lower taxes, but just 3 years ago you voted against Senator derp to do exactly that, what do you say to this?' Or 'You\'re raising a bill that\'s extremely similar to so-and-so\'s from 5 years ago which you voted down, why?' It\'s very superficial and I find it hard to trust anything they say. I don\'t quite see the logic here honestly, or at least I don\'t see how it would change things here. Most people in the US are very middle grounded; radicals are the extreme (they just get the most media coverage because they sound apeshit crazy and get high ratings). If implemented it would certainly rise voting rates lol. I feel like people would start 'Throwing out their votes' though. As in 'Jesus...they all suck...I\'ll vote for the guy most unlikely to win' or some random person. But who knows, that might actually cause a giant upturn and cause a super unlikely candidate to win lol I think we\'re just going through a phase. Right now Separation of Church and State is pretty hypocritical here. People are getting sued left and right, teachers fired, schools attacked for saying things like 'Merry Christmas' or quoting the Bible. It\'s being argued (very heavily by a very few select crazy people(not politicians, just parents)) that public schools can\'t imply any amount of religion. So now it\'s \'Winter Break\' not \'Christmas Break\' and \'Happy Holidays\' not \'Merry Christmas\' or you could potentially be sued (I\'m dead serious too...) by a parent who finds that offensive. So, in that respect, Separation of Church and State is VERY extreme. However at the same time, we have Churches lobbying against gay marriage, abortion and all that stuff. I\'m not saying gay marriage and abortion is right, just that the Church does influence political decisions there. The most recent upset was Obama\'s Mandate to force workplaces to offer birth control to women. Religious leaders went crazy. I mean crazy. I disagree with this. It\'s the exact opposite it seems to me. Political members are extremely dedicated to their party. So much so, that they will do ANYTHING to prevent the other party from accomplishing their goals. They stall votes over periods of months, leaving no decision to be made while the country rots. My friend\'s economic professor told us it didn\'t use to be like this, that Democrats and Republicans actually did work together before relatively well (not always). I think each party is trying to claim all the credit to boost their image and make the other look like they did nothing. It\'s what I was talking about, like the whole race is Prom Queen election. They\'re just trying to win and not help the country because they think they\'re way is the right way. The budget is some random number they make up and change when they want to >_> The amount of deadly spiders, squid, scorpions and kangaroos scare me D:

I don\'t know about your personal beliefs, but if you actually go to Denmark, there\'s two very important things you need to be aware of. - Janteloven A psychological social term used in the country, it\'s a mentality we have here, it means that everyone is worth the same, the Prime Minister is worth the same as a Janitor, they are both just doing what they do best. If you run around with a \'\'I\'m better\'\' attitude because you have a good job you\'re going to get outcast and verbally butchered. - Spirituality There\'s not a trace of it left, we\'re 80%+ atheist and churches are being closed down if it wasn\'t because we still need them for gay marriages. If you take pride in religion and talk of it/has clear influence of it people are going to look at you in an awkward fashion, religion is a very personal and private thing here. Besides that, we have chaotic weather, a good sense of fashion, and plenty of alternative healthy food, all of it in very high quality (we can feed our own population three times with our agriculture).

I read James\' article (my name is James, and I have been taught to not have the added s on the end of James\'), and though its quite realistic, I could push a few of the software stuff back a bit. But, I would also expect to have met an alien by the time I die (and would like to, I mean, learning about a new species when there is nothing else to find out about). Mostly the problems of long life is though we edit ourselves to do this, what we gain in knowledge and incite we lose in stress and the ability to take it. I personally have hope for the future, and this has gotten me out of some tight spots, but having 200 years of stressful situations? Not fun. The second thing is with the AI. It will eventually get to the stage a bit later than anyone thinks, but will be able to write its own code, which while not needing a person to create the code for them, the challanges of having the AI never remove the code that controls them is a major problem. Quantum computing is needed also for true AI. There is several other things that would be nice to talk about, but I can\'t find the words. But, as soon as there is interstellar travil, Im on the first shuttle off this place. Because while there is enough here, I can\'t be bother dealing with humans now let alone dealing with humans with AI components.

Alright, time to get serious about this incredible piece of artwork! 8) All questions will be answered at the bottom of this original post, thanks for the feedback! This is the Pegasus-42, named after several equestrian animals that have the ability to fly with the talents of agility, speed, and guts. Video, if you think this is TL;DR --- As you may have noticed it has a unique design in which it uses a stepped-down fuselage from the main body attached to the sides of the craft. This adds more stability, fuel, and space for weapon mounts. Don\'t forgot to mention it has a highly aesthetical finished look to it. -Two dual-mounted railguns (three rounds each) -Six deployable bombs -and six wing-mounted WASP missiles For increased effectiveness, each projectile is fired no unanimously, but one at a time. Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) capable with numerous stability and control RCS thrusters for vertical thrust. Highly agile. The winglets and flaps are near-perfectly balanced for ease of stability. These improvements make it a great glider, fast target (+600 m/s under 10 km), and a lethal predator. --Questions-- Put it on the Mun and then we\'ll talk. - Feragorn Although I am aware of the craft\'s incapabilities, I can, infact, land on the moon. Thanks to the VTOL systems I can make a realistic landing without a sweat. But it is quite more difficult without gliding at hand. --- He called it AIRCRAFT buddy. Not SpacePlane. - mario972 I called it aircraft because the video only has limited footage, mainly within the atmposphere. Either way it can easily manuever in the air, and in space. Some weapon systems are defective without the air though, such as missiles; winglets on them prove to do nothing in benefit of it flying straight. --- Herp de durr, I\'m aware. These things tend to be said about impressive designs, since everything is better on the Mun. Even aircraft, who can\'t fly without air. Which the Mun doesn\'t have. - Feragorn Lemme level with you guys for a sec, Planes - Pretty Smart Spaceplanes - Pretty F-cking Smart Spaceplanes that can land on the m--FUCKING GEEEEEEEEEENNNIUS! (if you get it, you get a booster) I really would like for everyone to stop comparing flying vehicles on how far, or fast, they can go. Seriously, everyone knows how cheaty the C-7 pack is on it\'s own, there is really no definitive bar that anyone would have to set. I would rate planes on their effectiveness on landing on the moon instead (not easy), for that requires a bit more inginuity, ya know?

I hadn\'t seen this around in a while, although I heard talk about how small Kerbin was compared to Earth. I never really looked up Earth\'s true radius to get an accurate representation of how small Kerbin really was, but I finally got bored enough to look it up. Despite having an equally strong gravity, Kerbin is roughly 10.9 times smaller than the planet on which we currently are! I made a very simple diagram using my Microsoft Paint (ha) to show the size comparison of the two of them right next to each other. Kerbin is about 10.9 times smaller than Planet Earth. It does seem equally appropriate, however, because our Kerbals are very small creatures. Another thing that I never put too much thought into was the size of the capsules and rockets we get as stock with the game... They have a diameter of only one meter. I will probably get the diameter of the Apollo Command Module and see if our Kerbal\'s are accurately sized to be the same size as humans relative to their planet. My question is, do you think we will ever see Kerbin scaled up to a larger size, what with time warp now available?

Okay, couple of things here. 1) The problems with Thorium reactors are already well known; it\'s no secret. It\'s simply that the process of making them happen will be hideously expensive. We already have a nuclear energy infrastructure based around Uranium (Which Australia should be taking advantage of far more, by the way, but that\'s another story!); to get Thorium reactors going will require duplicating a lot of that, and developing a whole new mining industry. When it\'s all said and done, much as I like the Thorium reactor concept, I think Uranium reactors are perfectly fine. The safety issues are WAY overplayed - every year coal power-related accidents kill six times the number of people that nuclear power-related incidents have EVER killed. Put simply, for every person who dies from a nuclear accident, we lose FOUR THOUSAND people from coal. We have a Uranium industry in place, and the next generation of reactors are brilliant. Why muck around? 2) There\'s a lot of talk about Hydrogen. Let\'s get this out in the open. The problem is that Hydrogen is an excellent energy CARRIER but it is not an energy SOURCE. As things stand today, the most efficient way to get hydrogen is by performing some chemical tricks on hydrocarbons, which are obtained from (you guessed it) coal or oil! Unfortunately, this is an inefficient way of using fossil fuels; it\'s better to burn them. Okay, I hear you ask, so why not use solar energy? I remember electrolysis from high school science! Yes, but electrolysis is incredibly inefficient. It would take way more electricity than we could ever produce from solar power to produce the hydrogen we need for a hydrogen economy. There IS a solution, however - Generation IV nuclear reactors can produce hydrogen during off-peak times. This would mean that for the first time in the history of generating electricity for industry, homes and businesses, we will have a method of storing the powerplant\'s energy for later - and a very useful method it is too! Incidentally, there are a lot of people who are very keen on solar energy as it is. I love solar energy. I have panels on my own roof (and now I get PAID for electricity instead of paying for it, which is very nice!). But much as I like it, we can\'t produce enough panels to generate the electricity we need for our entire society. Solar electricity might JUST be able to offset the power used by homes; but most of our electricity is used by industry, and solar hasn\'t got the moxie to handle that. Also solar energy is unreliable; it\'s a cold, wet, miserable day in Sydney today, and my panels won\'t be producing jack. And even on days with perfect weather, as soon as the sun goes down, you\'ve got no electricity. No, we need more than solar. We really need nuclear.

I was just coming here to talk about this. I hate garbage. I know there is a pretty small chance that I will smash into a discarded fuel tank, but it really bothers me seeing it swing around the planet in its ugly misshapen orbit. So far I have only manage to put satellites in orbit cleanly, with out anything left over, but a Mun landing with the current parts is just not possible. As far as I can tell. What I have been trying to do lately. 1. No junk floating in space or left on the surface of the Mun. 2. Land safely on the Mun, place a probe on the surface. 3. Place a satellite in orbit around the Mun. 4. Return crew home. Not needing to be done in any order, but all needing to be done in a single flight. So far I can get three out of four of these most of the time, but until we get docking I do not see how I could manage all four with the current parts. My computer isn\'t great, and starts to stall out after adding my 12th-14th booster so I have not been able to build any titans to carry up a LEM type craft with more than than a single engine. Once we can leave a rocket in lunar orbit to fly back to Apollo style re-dock and have it carry us home we will be set. I keep thinking about flying a whole space station to Mars. or... what would you kall a kerbal Mars? Kars? Are we all going to fly to Kars?

Well what do you suggest? Everyone can use Mibbit for IRC, though, like I mainly do. I\'d like to get something rolling to where the brony community has a central place to talk and discuss away from disturbing other forum goers, out of complete respect for their space. Any opinion, suggestion or idea is helpful!

Piecewise response! Here we go. Like I said in my orig. post, I assumed there was some form of spirit of cooperation between the players. I like that idea. It\'s kinda cheat-ish, but it would probably be the simplest approach. The 'true time' suggestion was kinda bubbled into my 'voting conditions,' i.e. the voting condition could be a 100% consensus. 20KM is miniscule. The only time I ever really get within 20km of another ship is an orbital rendezvous. It\'s 11,400km to the Mun. The picture I posted really is actually the best explanation of this. What happens in that episode of Star Trek is the crew comes across a planet that is in a time well. The planet itself is moving in an INCREDIBLY fast orbit, or appears to be, but the crew is unaffected outside of this region. They end up sending their resident AI down to the planet, and beam him back in about 10 seconds, but two weeks have elapsed on the planet already. So, if you\'re not technically 'in space,' yet, what\'s it to you if the planet is rotating fast? You and the planet are in your own 'inertial frame,' so it really doesn\'t 'matter' what the exact position/orientation of the planet is. Yes, it would turn the gravity wells also into time wells, but that seems the easiest way to allow multiple players to time warp and keep the 'system time' relatively intact. See above. Like I said, spheres of influence having their own time warps. I usually don\'t aim for a specific spot on the Mun to land until I\'m actually in its gravity well. When coming back, I don\'t aim for a specific spot on Kerbin to land until I\'m back in a low orbit around Kerbin, so I really don\'t care if the planet is spinning at 5000RPM while I\'m putzing to/from the Mun. The idea is, I don\'t think people are *too* concerned with the exact orientation of other astral bodies, so long as the position is right, which this time/gravity well system would allow for. That could make waiting for your 'special' friend who can\'t get out of low orbit very difficult to play with if you\'re trying to go to the Mun, and are really multiplayer-ing for sake of having someone to talk to.

Hey guy\'s sorry I\'ve been gone for a long time. I\'ve been busy with GCSE and what not (England peeps say wut wut!) But I am back to talk 40k! Also in recent news: I had a major defeat the other day (Table-top side) I had a small regiment in just a single case with me, against... Well let\'s just say what seemed like a unstoppable Tyranid army. I had with my; 2x Guard Squads 1x HQ 1x Leman 1x Kasrkin squad I took heavy casualties, like wise the opponent\'s army. He won in the end because of a Hive Tyranid :\'( RIP 45st Regiment *Salutes* ;_;7

I read a book about a month ago. In it the author said that teachers fail badly at their jobs. That their success rate is so low that if a police officer had that sort of crime prevention rate, he would be sacked. Now, I\'ll agree with the facts of the statement. But the author didn\'t say anything about the difficulty of teaching, or put any considerations into it. For instance, my English teacher is \'awesome\'. She\'s inventive, she\'s funny, and she once said a string of silly words to emphasize that all she could hear from the class was people constantly talking and saying swear words and laughing. A very good teacher. The flaw is the class. Ms.Trickey cannot teach, not because she has no ability, but because so many members of the class won\'t let her. When she is quiet, people talk. When she stares daggers at the class whilst quiet, the class stops talking. While she is talking, the class talks, and she has to go back to stage 2 just to get them to shut up again. I\'m not saying there aren\'t teachers who aren\'t \'awesome\', but seriously, the biggest problem is that so few people have respect for authority now.

Actually, for me I\'ve found the best teachers are usually the oldest ones. I don\'t know why, but it just seems I get better grades and learn the material better with older teachers, and can also talk to them better.

Tttthiiiiiissssss. I\'m taking 3 classes this semester, I\'ve stopped going to 2 of them because the professors just talk the entire time with no real interaction. My other course is MicroBiology and they teach it like a Pre-Med class, where real PhDs come in and lecture on certain material. It\'s talking non-stop, but there\'s true direction and organization to what they\'re presenting. Plus, there\'s no real other way to efficiently teach what they need to. I\'m fortunate to find this course very interesting. It\'s still one heck of a tough course though

Teaching by talking non-stop is perhaps the worst method of doing so. Now, I\'m only 13, but I find I learn more from teachers who talk less, and actually interact with us during the lesson, instead of blaring on like some other teachers.

hey guys, i had the game for about a month so far and all i gotta say is WTF!!!! i can't put this game down lol. i played untill 8am and i missed my college english class. this is not the first time but i gotta say i love this game. anyways i told all my friends about this game and they love it too. so i hope to see you guys around the forums because i have a few ????? i still haven\'t made it to the mun yet. talk to you guys later semper fi,

Well yes, but you took that quote out of context. He was talking about our internal pressure, yes, but then he went on to talk about how the gravity of the Earth counteracts it. What say you to that, sir?

It is extremely off topic. Here we are talking about astronauts and more specifically those who want to become one, and you talk about space marines.

OKAY GUYS LET\'S TALK ABOUT TRAVELING TO OTHER PLANETS IN KSP MMKAY!? Personally, I would like to see a module added that lets you synthesize fuel when it is in contact with Munar soil. I would land one of those on the Mun with a docking module stuck to the top of it, launch a few more fuel tanks and attach it to the initial fuel generator, then use it to stock up on fuel when I make my trip to the next planet.

With all the talk of planets and rendezvous on the solar scale, I thought I would give it a try! But I\'m running into a navigating issue! I nearly nailed the transfer to the craft I set in a farther out planet-like orbit, but I found the closer to syncing orbits to get closer, the orbit lines would vanish, making any more corrections impossible! Zooming out is the only option, and that far out I can\'t get very accurate. Has anyone run into this issue? Or how to work around it? Pictures included. Not a whole lot of navigational references out here

When I told my mom and dad they didn\'t talk to me the whole week... Ah how peaceful that week was....
