That still doesn't mean it will perform as well as metals for spring applications. Oh, I never meant to imply that graphene's going to compete with metals. There is no way graphene (or composites for that matter) can fully replace metals in some functions (such as springs). I'm just lifting ideas o...

So... what about applications where ability to flex without breaking is important, rather than pure rigidity? (and yes, I'm probably not expressing myself well on a technical level because I'm not a metallurgist) Springs, for example, where ability to repeatedly flex is important? How well does it ...

I actually went to high school in Wake County. My HS was one of the ones where they bussed in kids from other parts of the county to "meet quotas". Let me tell you, the program actually works. 2008-2009 Statistics The link is for my HS from the 2008-2009 school year. Note the performance o...

Well 2 things: 1)There's nothing like this at my current college, but that's not surprising considering I go to rinky-dink little TC3. 2) (completely OT) How are you liking all this cold and snow we've been getting?

I am, as I have mentioned before, an undergraduate engineering student at Cornell University. Recently, I began a new design class in MAE, and was rather surprised to find their attendance policies. All students are required to carry an "iClicker" (essentially a combination remote/trackin...

lotsa quote boxes Specifically, they believe they must incite a war against Iran that will pretty much obliterate the population of Israel, so they can go to Heaven. Yes, these people are basically a giant human-sacrifice cult. Huh...kinda makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. For a second there, I t...

So...who's the socialist again? She is, at the very least, a fellow-traveller of what might be called socialism with an Alaskan face. The state that she governs has no income or sales tax. Instead, it imposes huge levies on the oil companies that lease its oil fields. The proceeds finance the govern...

Why exactly does the US has such a hard-on for Israel? I have limited knowledge of foreign policy, but I've always thought that we only give Israel stuff to keep a presence in the Middle East.

Wait. I thought this guy was just a campaign gimmick. Since when was he stumping for McCain?

Can we just assume this picture was taken with everyone standing on Mogo? No. Mogo is in the picture. *takes closer look at the horizon/backround* :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: Edit: Where's the Pred? http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/8928/predzc4.jpg Tricky little bugger hid himself.

Is that the Predator I see in the first picture?

You will not believe the circle jerk they had in the paper today (I live in NC). Everyone was tripping over themselves to honor this guy

Another day, another fix. Top notch as always.

By the way, is there any chance we might see a little napalm action?

Hot damn. I'm drooling in anticipation over the next chapter.

Slowly, the ships pulled out of the harbor. One by one, their majestic hulls swept by the ghost town of Havana. Just a week ago, Cuba was teeming with life. The ships were piled high with crates upon crates of booze and fine liquor. Scores of women pranced about the decks, most without clothing. As...

I didn't feel like dredging up my old thread, so here we go.



A shit load of work got dumped on me this semester, so I haven't really been coloring at all. I was working on this a few months ago and I just polished up on it.

Man, why the hell weren't you going to the formal. That girl is beautiful!

It was invitation only for a frat. Plus, she already had a date.

I was big with sciences in high school so I tried out engineering. I ended up going to Cornell because it has an excellent engineering school.
