  1. Re:Energy on Dry-Ice Heat Engines For Martian Colonists · · Score: 1

    Not sure about the ease. They are starting to talk about spray on solar panels, never heard about spray on mirrors without flat glass (I know the old method of window making is using just two metal tubes and a ton of dexterity breath and strength)

  2. Re:Energy on Dry-Ice Heat Engines For Martian Colonists · · Score: 1

    The 'ambient temperature' is mainly solar energy as the air pressure is low, that brings us back to solar energy. In those conditions it is also easy to create dry ice locally by radiation cooling in the shadow.

  3. The new lower orbit junkyard death belt on SpaceX Worried Fake Competitors Could Disrupt Its Space Internet Plan · · Score: 1

    Once my volcano island is operational I had planned to put one ton of buckshot in counter geostationary orbit, this is even better.

  4. Brainless modern times on Daylight Saving Time Change On Sunday For N. America · · Score: 1

    In the middle ages they could work with one hour before sunrise on a daily base, without using clocks and internet. Today with its prepackaged, normalized time 40%+ of the people get lost by two changes a year.

  5. Re:I'm healthy... on Treadmill Performance Predicts Mortality · · Score: 1

    Oprah Winfrey claimed her weight loss is all fat, in practice it is mainly lean weight and that's less calories dense. I switched from 700kcal to 300kcal deficit a day as one could yield 50% of fat loss and the other 90%

  6. Re:Please tell me this is satire on Use Astrology To Save Britain's Health System, Says MP · · Score: 1

    You seem to ignore the psychological needs of doctors, who have 60 patients and are going to lose 1 of them every week. By the time they stop they have filled a graveyard. With no place at home to talk about their cartload of deaths and dyers.

  7. Re:Security through Obscurity on Stealthy Linux Trojan May Have Infected Victims For Years · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Worse, were yesterday only systems with a wide userbase were hacked, nowadays something as obscure as Linux gets targeted.

  8. Re:critical development age!? on Programmer Father Asks: What Gets Little Girls Interested In Science? · · Score: 1

    I just imagine that the real problem was that his eight year old son also wants to be a princess and ... well you can't say that.

  9. Here today the internet was telling that girl she couldn't be a princess.

  10. Re:The French are the world's Standards Board on Blame America For Everything You Hate About "Internet Culture" · · Score: 1

    The French were sitting around the fountain yelling insults and obscenities in French at those walking by.

    These were Belgians faking they were French with Parisian accent and all. It's always fun to do that.

  11. Re:that's because on Blame America For Everything You Hate About "Internet Culture" · · Score: 1

    No, Slashdot is all about cats. I think so, maybe I should RTFA

  12. Space shutle all over on Russia May Be Planning National Space Station To Replace ISS · · Score: 1

    By 2020 It will be even older and certainly technically dated, it's main function will be to pump money to the same hands for a few more years. So let it die and start with something new.

  13. Re:damn on No, You Can't Seize Country TLDs, US Court Rules · · Score: 1

    The US is the main sponsor of Mexican drug cartels and those cartels are terrorizing. But in this case it is not the state, although ... they could decide to take hair samples and jail every 'sponsor'-citizen.

  14. Re:Simple answer on David Cameron Says Brits Should Be Taught Imperial Measures · · Score: 1

    You are right, he must have been thinking of quarts.

    And that shows the greatness of imperial, there is always an unit at hand to cover the conversion error.

  15. Re:FP? on David Cameron Says Brits Should Be Taught Imperial Measures · · Score: 1

    Interesting, is body temperature then expressed as 100 F and not something like 36.6 C ?

  16. Re:FP? on David Cameron Says Brits Should Be Taught Imperial Measures · · Score: 1

    Don't worry 2x4s are just pieces of lumber that fit into a 2" by 4" hole, in metric that could be 48mm by 92mm or maybe even less. And a guy that's 6' 2" tall is probably up to 1" shorter than that. Metric is just a large amount of hard numbers.

  17. Re:In my experience most mastery is at the start on New Research Casts Doubt On the "10,000 Hour Rule" of Expertise · · Score: 1

    It's odd that László Polgár tried and succeeded creating young chess masters to demonstrate the contrary "Geniuses are made, not born". And as it concerns three sisters, the twin genetics theory doesn't hold, neither the statistical gender advantage.

  18. I read something he wrote where he followed the Vitruvius account of the Archimedes experiment. Spotting fallacious scientific preconceptions is apparently not his forte. So it's only about PR?

  19. Re:Maybe driver vs passenger doesn't matter on Text While Driving In Long Island and Have Your Phone Disabled · · Score: 1

    The only time I phoned 911 (used 112) was for a car already burning bumper to bumper on a German highway, and yes I was the first to call. Maybe people would have preferred to text.

  20. Re:Grandparents... on Two Explorers Descend Into An Active Volcano, and Live to Tell About It · · Score: 1

    They call it waterboarding and yes it can kill.

  21. Re: Watch the F-35 get blown out of the skies on "Magic Helmet" For F-35 Ready For Delivery · · Score: 1

    Engage 24 enemy airfighters with what? I read "two internal bays with two pylons each". You can add exterior weapons but then the plane is even less stealth. Agile is not a problem as it is never a good flyer.

  22. Two (2) Russian stamps and they still let you in? Two years from now that will be impossible.

  23. Just let your employees know you will always side with the bullies and that they should to, a good bully is a happy bully, where your business interests are of no importance.

  24. Re:Is there an SWA Twitter police? on Man Booted From Southwest Flight and Threatened With Arrest After Critical Tweet · · Score: 1

    You never did but then you never read the tweets people post about you. All that yelling would probably make some people pretty certain you should be fired.

  25. Not in this multiverse on Can the Multiverse Be Tested Scientifically? · · Score: 1

    Somewhere there was a split between the multiverse that can and the multiverse that can't be demonstrated.
