A normal lithium ion battery is 3.7V and requires a 5V USB voltage for the charging circuit. My idea of using 4 rechargeable batteries (4.8V) without using a DC-DC converter is simple and efficient, except if you put 4 alkaline batteries it becomes 6V (20% over voltage and no limit on output current) which may damage some sensitive USB devices connected to it. |

I've had some VERY interesting discussions like that! Hi Muggles, Something I have found interesting is Einstein's take on quantum physics. He did not believe it to be correct because "God is not random". And indeed the theory which is starting to replace quantum physics, called String Theory, is not random. Problem with quantum physics is that it is not unified, meaning it does not incorporate gravity in its model. String theory does. We have a saying in our church. "Do not seek the truth in science, for today's truths are always tomorrow's falsehoods. But instead, seek the truth in Jesus Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the light." One of my most fascinating courses in college was the history of science. It was all about tomorrow's falsehoods. Caloric was a huge one. My personal belief is that when the eight day comes and all is revealed, that all our humanity's collective knowledge and all our machines, we will have not scratched one cell in God's finger. I also think that ever since the first human eye laid sight on the first star in the sky, that we were meant to go there. I look forward to the light barrier being broken. I will probably have to watch that happen from heaven. And we have Saint Moses to thank for science: Genius 1, 1-5 KJV In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. And that was the beginning of science. The universe was a creation of God and what we observed around us was nature, not the work of petty human like gods and magic. Glory be to God! -T String theory is really w-e-i-r-d. |

I've had some VERY interesting discussions like that! Hi Muggles, Something I have found interesting is Einstein's take on quantum physics. He did not believe it to be correct because "God is not random". And indeed the theory which is starting to replace quantum physics, called String Theory, is not random. I wonder how many more things Einstein could have discovered if he wasn't hampered by religion? -- Judi: "Hon, what is my love worth to you?" Amanpreet: "Am I buying, or selling?" |

He probably would have just been mediocre. "hampered by religion"? You lead an insular life. Often times, those that say they don't believe in religion, get caught up in religions by other names, such a secular humanism, atheism, Liberalism, global warming (which is not science, but religoun). Liberalism, which tells you what you can eat, what you can wear, who you can speak with, what you can drive, yada, yada, yada, is far more restrictive than Christianity. Hell, Liberalism even tells you what you can think (political correctness). A lot of atheists are very religious people. |

I've plonked the idiot a long time ago and I have to read his crap because you guys keep "feeding the troll". I aften wonder if the Macaw is human or a robot of some sort. No human could be THAT stupid and still manage to reach adulthood. |
