Morphing Metals

· Score: 3, Insightful
Shape memory metals seem to come into the public consciousness every decade or so only to fade back into obscurity just as quickly.
I think it does. Good thing that it combines immediately with the hydrochloric acid that causes the breakdown to form table salt and water.
Also I'm not too convinced that the hydrolysis of sucrose in the stomach is immediate. Doing it in a pan (making invert sugar) involves boiling with acid and water for about 20 minutes. At body temp this would take even longer.
The keyword is "invented." The well-known rules and even the existence of libraries are a direct result of the shortcomings of physical media. Both have become obsolete, but society needs time to adapt to that. And yes, this means that famous authors need to find an honest job, just like all the authors today that don't make the bestseller lists.
I couldn't agree more. They may give some slack but you're still on a leash. However after stripping off the DRM (which is still legal in the civilized world) I find that I really enjoy reading ebooks.

Wasn't the 'plan Colombia' worm designed to do the same? Didn't work a decade ago and it doesn't work now. Unless it's a false flag operation.
