Where's the mom?

Well, my guess woule be just like with the goate guy: Holding the camera...

Oh, i stumpled upon this "davids medienkritik" website a few months ago.
I spend about an hour reading it.
Its about the worst political propaganda post you could imagine, all hailing king bush in his glory and the american way of bombing away evil.

After that i was so disgusted that i wrote david an email that no, i didnt hate america. Until i read his website, and his comment posters. And that i now wouldnt cry a tear after them if they went all to hell (which they actually seem to believe in).

I am pretty sure that sound effect really originates from magic carpet (and was later sold into a effects library).
And its incredibly common. If you add games, even more so than the wilhelm scream.
Nearly every racing/space/ect game has it somewhere.

@notarobot:

Thats acutally a quite logical phenomenon: Pressure effects get worse as your sizes increase.
Thats the reason bicycle-tyres have higher pressure then the ones of cars...

What they did is heating up the air inside the car, and then closing it. This can be easily done by just burning a big blowtorch inside until all the air has been replaced by hot combustion gases.

If they get the temperature to 300C (not that hard), and close it, after cooling their will be a pressure of 5 tons per m^2. Which is a lot. For a vacuum tank this size, i would use walls of solid steel, at lest 2cm thick.

Edit: should have read the description of the original movie: The reason for the pressure differential here was just by the emptying: per meter of "falling height" of the liquid (might be a lot when filling an underground tank), there is one ton/m^2 pressure on the walls of the tank. Different reasom, same effect.

Actually no.
The CIA overthrew the democratically elected president in favor for the shah (because we all know totalitarian regimes are better pawns then a democracy).

The now monarchy wasted money that could have helped the people by buying tons of luxury stuff (like art pieces).

After the people were finally fed up enough of them, they were overthrown, and the Ayatollah became the leading figure, locking away the decadence of the former despotes.

This is quite easy to manufacture.
In fact, its easier to do than non-flexible ones.

The drawback is the long-term stability: The biggest problem OLEDs have is that those organic molecules used dont like oxygen at all. Nor do they like water.

Thus they have to be encapsulated.

For flexible ones, you need thin, flexible platic foils. But most of them are not oxygen-tight to begin with (in those minimal amounts actually needed to degrade the devices), and being flexible only hurts further (as it can create microfissures).

Still, i would like to have my cell-phone will roll-out screen.

I registered just to correct this description:

There is a difference between superfluidity and a bose einstein condensate. The effect of superfluid Helium might be descriped by the BEC theory, but its far from a "real" one in the theoretical sense. (otherwise, the creation of those wouldnt have been worth a nobel price not too long ago)

The exact explanation is a bit to long for that comment-field, but lets say that the demands for a BEC are _much_ higher than for superfluidity.

To get all atoms to occupy the lowest quantum state, such crude ways like the shown double dewar wont do it.
In fact, normally you would use a penning-trap, and do laser and evaporation cooling to get a few 100k atoms at the end with temperatures in the microkelvin range.


But superfluidity in itself is cool enough: You can also use it as near perfect cooling liquid (and you DO, for example in the LHC): Superfluid helium has _no_ thermal resitance. Heat can spread in it with the speed of sound, allowing the transportation of heat for km with only a minimal temperature rise.
Otherwise, supplying all those magnets in the LHC-Tunnels would be next to impossible.
