  1. Re:I want a small power supply, not a good battery on Asus Budget Ultraportable Notebook Sold Sans OS · · Score: 1

    Smaller size(volume) does not necessarily mean a smaller surface area.

    Halving the thickness of a normal power brick changes the area very little, and can be compensated by making it slightly wider.

    "Not FDA regulated" != unregulated

    For example the FTC has things to say about false advertising. (a test should work, otherwise it's not a test.)

    And surely there is law against using black plague laden swabs...

  8. Re:Isn't electrolysis 60+% efficient? on Possible Breakthrough In Hydrogen Energy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Powerplants can burn other things containing carbon than fossil coal, for example garbage and waste from food- and wood-production.

    Some time in the future we might also burn a lot of biproducts from when making ethanol, biodiesel and other biofuels.

    The problem with CO2 is that you'll need _lots_ for the industrial process, and there's only very little of it air (300-something ppm). Extracting that is a major pain in the rear (i.e. requires lots of energy).

    Don't forget that you can take the CO2 direcly from the sources, and here is a lot of CO2 sources.
    Powerplants
    ethanol factories(fermention)
    air destilators(making nitrogen, oxygen, argon and CO2)
    +other stuff...

    "Methane is over 20 times more effective in trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide (CO2) over a 100-year period"

    What about other periods? It's 72 times more effective than co2 over a 20-year period.

    Trees on their own are carbon neutral, not negative.
    They grow and die.

    You have to cut them down and store them somewhere to leave space for new trees and prevent decomposition. But there is no meaning in doing that while we are still using fossil coal.

  21. Re:Better disk drive mounting brackets. on Vibration Killing Enterprise Disk Performance? · · Score: 1

    The problem is that you want the disks to vibrate less and most brackets is made to isolate vibrations not dampen them. In some cases making the drives vibrate more. (The drive have only it's own weight to work against.)

    If you want a disk to vibrate less it should be mounted to something hard and heavy like an concrete floor, not light and soft like rubber.
