  11. Re:Gonna need more details, doc... on New Heating Technology Uses Seawater and Carbon Dioxide (csmonitor.com) · · Score: 2

    Its exactly how a fridge works.

    when the compressor in your fridge compresses the coolant it gets warm, and then goes to the radiator on the back to cool down. Then when it is allowed to expand again inside the fridge it gets cold.

    Nothing new about this technology at all. Same science that is behind fridges and airconditioners the world over.

  22. bullshit on We'll Be the Last PC Company Standing, Acer CEO Says · · Score: 1

    Acer wouldn't be anywhere near my first choice for last man standing.
