  1. Everybody is concerned by CO2 emissions on NASA Scientists Paint Stark Picture of Accelerating Sea Level Rise · · Score: 1

    but what about water emissions generated when burning fossil fuels? Which volume of water is injected per year into the atmosphere (initially as water vapour) when burning gazoline, diesel, gas similar? And what is the impact on sea level, meteorological events...?

  3. New domain on The XBMC Project Will Now Be Called Kodi · · Score: 1

    Will be kodi.tv it seems.

  4. Knowledge is power on Global Bacon Shortage 'Unavoidable' · · Score: 1

    France has bacon!

  5. Comet on the same day? on Huge Triangle-shaped Spot Over the Sun · · Score: 1
  6. Electromagnetic waves on Ask The Bad Astronomer · · Score: 1

    do have a transmission medium (aether, ether, ), just like sound waves do propagate in air, don't they? D. Brisset was onto something big in 1911 (ToE inside, in French).

  7. E-Ink car plate on Looking For E-Ink Applications Beyond Ebook Readers · · Score: 1

    with random plate number generator. Of course, with a button near the driver for quickly displaying back the legit plate number in case of emergency. E-ink seems to be sensitive to static electricity / external parasitic voltage fields though.

  8. Worms will be happy on Earth's Population To Hit 7 Billion This Year · · Score: 1

    they will have plenty of food!

  9. hook up Xmarks with apache+webdav on Bookmark Synchronizer Xmarks Hangs Up Their Hats · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you happen to have your own apache server handy, just setup up a personal server with Xmarks, it works beautifully (over https as well). I'm using this combination for quite some time now, with great satisfaction and independence. As stated above, I also don't want to store my private stuff on third party storage.

  10. "smart" powermeters on Real-Time Power Monitoring Options? · · Score: 1

    In France most recent powermeters have an output called "teleinfo" which we can have activated, basically a kind of serial link (output only), repeatedly giving lost of parameters like instant watts, actual indexes in watt.hours and more. This kind of meter can be found second hand on ebay I think, and it is just a matter of demodulating the (well documented) 'teleinfo' output. What I did with this output, is to log the status every minute into a postgresql database (since 07/2008 now) and then it is easy to graph the data. You can see how often and how long the fridge is working etc... As an example of the result: http://2oo4.free.fr/teleinfo.jpg (in French, but you can figure out with the units). Be sure to match the characteristics of your power network (we have 230 volts/50Hz here) Kind Regards, Benoît.

  11. e-ink license plates on New Speed Cameras Catch You From Space · · Score: 1

    would be nice!

  12. Do they mean.. on MPAA Pushes Once Again To Close the Analog Hole · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...human ears?

  13. Fallout 3 on Circuit City Files For Bankruptcy · · Score: 1

    reading the same news on Engadget is it what Super-Duper Mart looked like before?

  14. This reminds me of... on Pentagon Urges Space-Based Solar Power · · Score: 1

    ... Conan, The Boy in Future from Miyazaki, where Sun energy is harvested from space by a satellite and sent back to Earth.

  15. Arc welding on Ball Lightning Created In the Lab · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It very much looks like liquid metal balls bouncing on the floor, these are produced very often when using an electric arc welder.
