  1. Power Drain Power Gain? on New 'Stellarator' Design for Fusion Reactors · · Score: 1

    you've got a self-contained energy source that takes power to start, power to maintain, and the net energy gain is...? Make it dense enough, maybe we can produce antimatter

  2. Updates on Only 25% of Firefox Downloaders Are 'Active Users' · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't updates be one way for Mozilla to track usage? At least, periodical usage, given that updates don't get rolled out every other day.

  3. Canada's Stance... At least, in Toronto on Discouraging Students from Taking Math · · Score: 1

    When I was in high school (2 years ago), we were required to take 2 math courses at least to get into a decent university. The year I graduated, they cut this requirement down to 1. Now they've restructured the math program to make it FAR simpler. Universities have also lowered their expectations, BUT the first-year math courses haven't lost any of the intensity they had when I entered. And, since students are less prepared to deal with this, they're dropping (out) like flies. Odd? Meh. One point of interest, the university I'm at won't take proper statistics in its first year. I wonder why?

  4. Enigma 2007, now bundled with Vista Home Edition on Enigma Machine for Sale on eBay · · Score: 2, Funny

    Imagine one of these sitting inside your computer, clunking and whirring everytime you accessed SSL pages.

  5. Innovative? on Dvorak to Apple - Stop The iPhone · · Score: 1

    On the first count, they can keep it going if they keep going through as many generations of iPods as they seem to be doing now. For all we know, they could come out with a version that has an actual hard drive, 10 battery cells you wear on your belt and can hotswap... or how about that funky new thing they call 3g? Maybe it'll stick around long enough to have 2-way portable hologram communication. 3d-g? On that vein, Conan might have something against Dvorak http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xXNoB3t8vM
