He needs an editor. Here is what I could do on such short notice:
That's easy. The energy it takes to stop and accelerate a train at each stop takes is tremendous! Therefore, by using a simple deceleration rail on the top of each train, the boarding cart merely uses the inertia of the already moving train to launch and dock boarding cart. This saves the train having to stop and increases the number of stops/stations you can have in a rail line without increasing the number of trains you would have to run. It would also save HUGE amounts of energy and money; moreover, it would be INCREDIBLY efficient.
Trains would be more likely to be on time with this innovation.
Your welcome for doing the thinking for you, but that should be expected cause your are a marine...


If you're going to be all stuck-up and edit other people's stuff, you can at least correct "your welcome."

It's YOU'RE welcome! YOU'RE! It's a contraction. YOU ARE=YOU'RE! Get it right.

*wink* @ Grinter. Semantics flame fest. Yay!

Except that instead of complaining about having to wait for trains, people will complain about waiting for the loading car to show up. Then when it does, they'll complain about waiting for the train....still.
Someone please tell me how this solves any problems. - And for that matter, how it won't create new ones.


Thats easy, the energy it takes to stop and accelerate a train at each stop takes tremendous amounts of energy... therefore by using a simple deceleration rail on the top of each train the boarding cart merely uses the inertia of the already moving train to launch and dock boarding cart. Saves the train having to stop...therefore increasing the number of stops/stations you can have in a rail line without increasing the number of trains you would have to run. This would save HUGE amounts of energy, and therefore HUGE amounts of money, and is INCREDIBLY efficient.
Smart people do not usually complain about waiting for trains, they are usually on time. It's the people on the train already that have to constantly stop to pick other people up, making the journey ever longer depending on the amount of stops.
Your welcome for doing the thinking for you.

Your polite attitude really shines through.

Your welcome for doing the thinking for you.

Your welcome to your opinion but it seems that you passion for the subject misses your own reading comprehension. As you seem to have no valid argument for your point since you comparisons are unequal and your only defense is that you think anyone who doesn't downvote this is a lower life form.

You feel that why, that's fine. And if attacking peoples intelligence makes you feel better, ok we can tolerate that. Pain is part of life, and laughter is the spice of it. My comment wasn't a rationalization of other peoples actions, it's my own experence with the painful results of my own stupidity, and in that context I find humor.

>> ^qualm:
What a pathetic and sneering rationalization. (And amusing lack of reading comprehension.) You're missing the point, and it doesn't change the fact there remain two main reactions to videos where people are significantly injured. (Only one of these find any humour at all.)

Hook enough gaming consoles together, and you've got a supercomputer. Didn't the military build one using PS2s?


Hook enough Tandy 1000s together and you can get a super computer. Its just a question of how many. Around 2,052,000,000,000,000 is how many. Your welcome.

But of course you didn't do it as a favor to me, but because you felt it was either aligned with your upvoting tendancies, or because you felt it was the right thing to do.
But you're thanked anyway, randomize. I appreciate your consideration of the video.

I sifted your gay Ikea commercial.
Your welcome.

Your welcome, that was about the time I took over the Geek Channel. Geek Week was a sort of promotion idea to get people to take a look at the new CSS coding and participate in the weekly featured content. I'm glad to hear that it was appreciated.

In reply to this comment by mas8705:
I got bored and looked up my name on the search, and I found out that 7 months ago, during a "geek week" you were giving me credit on my very first sifted video...

Of course back then, I was still learning, but now that I see this, a tear ran down my eye... Thank you...

P.S. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, please erase the message right away...

Your welcome, and thanks for mine. Unfortunately neither one seems to be going anywhere

Thanks for the promote!

I heard this song in a shampoo commercial of all things. Granted it was just the piano and te "woo woo" intro parts. I guess
"Gat to your face with the f--kin' bullets stickin' out
Missin' out, diss and bout, blood's what you're pissin' out" wouldn't be too good for the product endorsement
Wonder if I can *promote this?

The reason that the top 15 is cool- is because a video does stay around for a while and gets more attention. It becomes a focal point for the community with an interesting comment thread evolving around it.

If you shorten the time that a video gets to live in the top 15, you'll have higher turnover of videos, sure- but overall it will be less interesting as an achievement.


I think most everyone here agrees that the Top 15 is cool, but what precisely makes it cool? Does a 4 day period make it cooler than a 3 day period? I don't think so. With a 3 day period that starts from the published date every video will still have a chance to rack up major votes, and yet they won't monopolize the Top 15 quite as long. This will give other videos that are equally deserving a better shot at the big time, and it will also make the list fresher and more interesting. That, to me, is what's cool.

Right now as I'm writing this, the laughing Haitian weatherman has 176 votes, and yet it STILL has almost 16 hours before it will drop off the top. I like it; I gave it my upvote (as did many other people); but it will be in the Top 15 for almost half a week before it bids us adieu. Talk about wearing out your welcome. I wouldn't let that dude stay at my house more than three days, tops.

Seriously, this is about videos not becoming stale. Also from a business standpoint, I think more people would be inclined to visit a video site if they knew every day there would be several new and interesting videos to watch in the Top 15.

We're not talking about up-ending a time honored tradition here, just fine tuning it to make it a little better. I realize that whatever the membership decides here is not binding in any way, but I think if enough experienced sifters vote in favor of either my original proposal or Zifnab's proposal, you should give it serious consideration.

And on a more serious note, if either rottenseed's or Sarzy's comments about changing my avatar back to balloon animal Jesus receives 15 votes or more, I'll change it back. Because I believe in America.

Your welcome, this is a serious issue that supporters of the status quo will attempt to suppress at the mere mention of the subject. Don't mind rembar and his junk science channel.. he's not an authority on science (even though he would like to think he is).
