  3. Re:What would you expect? on Nobody Builds Reactors For Fun Anymore · · Score: 1

    The reactors can be designed to drain into multiple tanks of subcritical mass. Furthermore, the drain plug can be designed such that if the fuel temperature exceeds x amount it melts and allows the fuel to drain.

    OP wasn't talking about pouring them out on the ground.

    Doubt it. Light pressure is what compresses and heats the fuel.

    Yeah but it still won't use lyrics embedded in the tag. Call me a "hater" but I HATE,HATE,HATE moronic player apps that default to searching online for data which I've already troubled to make accurate and embedded in the tag.

    It occurs to me that a small autonomous vessel would make a great "drug submarine". I'm not hanging that possibility on you. Someone will/has surely thought of it already. Do you see use of similar tech for "evil" being a problem in the near future?

    Anti-Semitic != Anti-Israel in all cases. Israel is a particular political entity who's actions are not above criticism.

  14. Re:Will Tesla buy them? on Electric Car Startup 'Better Place' Liquidating After $850 Million Investment · · Score: 1

    Almost every supermarket in the US has filled tanks for exchange and the price is indeed fixed at about $25 bucks a pop. But I stopped going there when I found out the local Flying J truck stop would refill my tank for a third to at most half that. The fixed price exchanges are gouging you even if you bring in a fully expended tank.

    To get any appreciable thrust at all, he'd at least need to use an M-80. Bonus points if the vectors of what's left of the body moving forward and the asschunks moving in the other direction are accounted for with high speed photography.

    Sounds like a good MythBusters episode to me. They can jam ever increasing amounts of explosives up the ass of pig carcasses.

    I've heard of light bulbs used as current limiters in speaker stacks. Put something like a motorcycle tailight in series with a bass driver.

  19. Re:Let's nuke them to be sure on Are Some of North Korea's Long-Range Missiles Fakes? · · Score: 2

    At least 4 invasion tunnels.....that the powers that be admit to, have been found and it is widely thought they have some x number of tunnels that haven't been detected. The tunnels in question were large enough to accomodate armor and mobile artillery.

    They could plausibly dump at least a division well behind the DMZ if they've managed to keep even two or three tunnels undetected and usable. This too can be countered by additional defensive rings further back from the DMZ but still it would add to the North's ability to make one hell of a mess before they get their teeth kicked in.

    Though come to think of it, I wouldn't put it past us and the SK's to keep quiet about a few tunnels quiet then mining the holy bejezus out of them with some big dialed in arty to boot.

    I've noticed SkiniMax is basically the same way. Every so often, there will be some full frontal female pubic hair..but no clitorus..but the editing makes it obvious they're avoiding dicks.

  23. I presume the standard of proof here is going to be "preponderance of evidence" like in a civil trial. On TV, it is common to have a mega zinger bit of evidence that disproves everything. In reality, you want gather every piece of evidence that favors your side and everything that can be used to attack the other side. This should all be assembled into something resembling a narrative. Since this all may not be introducable, a lot of the skill is making good use of the tools available. So both go through Genesis with a fine tooth comb and build the most compelling case possible for the scientific side of the argument.

    This is isn't soundbite TV. Courtroom proceedings are a slog.

  24. Government Malware on Cubans Evade Censorship By Exchanging Flash Drives · · Score: 1

    The government could distribute malware infected drives themselves. It isn't as though the Cuban underground isn't full of double agents and provacatuers. The malware will of course scream it's head off to the mothership anytime it finds itself on a network connected machine. To be sure, the tech savvy can avoid this but the distribution of the savvy in the underground just like in all other walks of life will be concentrated on one end.
