Does the technology exist to stop an automobile engine that is running by interrupting the electronics in the engine? |
| Question found in Engineering |
|
|
Yes. An Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) can if close enough and powerful enough. I have seen experiments with a fast model car that can be dropped from the underside of a police cruiser. It is directed by remote control to a position underneath the vehicle being chased and then energized, stopping the vehicle's engine. |

Does leaving your laptop on stand by use less electricity than turning it on and of repeatedly? |
| Question found in Electronics and Gadgets In General |
|
|
Unless you are running on battery, the electricity used is minuscule. In my area, I can burn a 100 watt light bulb eight hours per day for a month for less than $2. The on/off shock to the computer is probably more damaging than the cost of the electricity to leave it in standby mode. |

How do I keep a tent warm at night? |
| Question found in Recreation In General |
|
|
It depends on the environment. If you're alone in a temperate climate, a sleeping bag of insulate qualities commensurate to the local situation will probably be adequate. Of course, if you have a "bag-mate", you will be able to tolerate much lower temperatures. If you have a larger tent and wish to establish a warmer environment, tent heaters that use propane, wood or other fuels are available. Climate will be the determining factor on the type of heat required. |

How can I get my free credit report from the government? |
| Question found in Business & Economy In General |
|
|
If you're in the U.S., you don't get a free credit report from the government. You have to contact each of the three major credit reporting agencies directly: TransUnion, Experian and Equifax. Each can be found via Google. You simply provide each with enough information for identification and ask for your free annual credit report. |

Hi, I know somebody who has sold their passport to someone and is going to report it lost thinking hes going to get another one. He had a foreign passport but lives in Britain. What would happen if I reported this to the police because this is fraud? |
| Question found in Legal Other |
|

To you, probably nothing unless the people involved decide to take (unlawful) action against you. Of course, only if they can find out that you were responsible. Damned shame you don't live in the U.S. where personal possession of firearms is not so highly restricted. Our Second Amendment keeps the others valid. We can not only defend ourselves against robbers, spies, etc., it also holds our government in check. This is the difference between subjects and citizens. I would STRONGLY recommend that you report this to MULTIPLE competent authorities and be prepared to cooperate in gathering further information. There will be risk, request protection. You do, however, have duty as a citizen/subject. The person who sold their passport should be prosecuted and/or deported by the U.K. The person attempting to use the stolen passport should also be prosecuted. Hopefully, they are caught quickly. For what reason, other than criminal, would ANYONE buy or sell a passport? This type of transaction is particularly sensitive in view of terrorism. In the strongest possible terms, I would encourage you to report it. I don't care if a a sexual or marital relationship is involved. This is often how these things are done. Do not be a dupe! You are ALREADY involved! It is too late to wish otherwise. Sorry, this is the "worst case". You're there and cannot deny the fact. However you came to be there, consider your duty. Terrorists and spies depend upon friendships to accomplish their activities. They are not your friends, they have cultivated your friendship for their own purposes. To you, it's real. To them, it's only business. BE NOT YE BLIND! I have training in intelligence. Tiny pieces, gathered over years, with patience, complete the puzzle. Do not become an innocent dupe in completing the puzzle for terrorists. You are nothing to them. No matter how friendly, these people are not your friends. They are breaking the law and you are expected to ignore the law for their friendship. They call it friendship, it could be treason. It could be deadly to your countrymen and others. James Bond is the quintessential spy, but only as a fictional character. Great entertainment! This is not how the spy game works, though. 99% of all spies are ordinary people who are willing to give up information in favor of friendships, sexual relationships convenience, money, etc. Spies are not what Hollywood would have us believe. They are ordinary people with information, access to it or willingness to overlook "minor" legal problems. PERIOD. Report what you know and stand up for your country and humanity! |
