Posted by timothy on from the maytag-man-will-be-dust dept.

formaggio writes "Most heat pumps maintain an average useful life of 10-20 years, but researchers at the University of Stavanger in Norway (USN) and the University of Oslo believe that they have developed a new heat pump that will last up to 10,000 years."

    sounded more like an anti-Colt M-16 rant.

    funny how you think complaining that our troops were victims of a bait-and-switch is somehow anti-military. how did you even manage to reply on this thread? it must have taken you all day to mouth the words as you read it.

    maybe you meant anti-something-remotely-military-related, but to those of us who read and comprehend english at a normal level, it just sounds like you're retarded.

    TFA is on a stupid hippy-dippy design blog site run by children.

    I'm sure they're impressed, but anyone who's been reading this grade of journalism in Popular Science for a few decades is not.

    Yeah, skyscrapers today just don't compare with skyscrapers from ancient Rome.

    And have you seen those entire buildings they put up in a couple months with a crew of 20 or so? I bet they won't be standing in 2,000 years.
