    In this particular case, the input is hydrogen and copper, the output is nickel. No, there is no radioactive waste in this case either.

    I especially liked in the how its done video that they use a "unique process only found on the surface of the sun to bind the molecules to your device" Sounds very fishy.

    Mineral oil would work too, and looks reasonably like water.

    Yup, teach um young that stuff. My kids even used my computers successfully at that age, and since the older does so well with the computers, I gave him my old laptop when I got a new one.

    If you take out the thousands of screws, you will find that the typing surface is made up of three layers of plastic. Take apart the layers, and proceed to wipe them with a cloth to dry them, then put back together (in the same order!), 90% of the time, it will return to working shape, but alignment is very important.

    Hell, you can run Panasonic Toughbooks over with an 18 wheeler and it will still work...or drop it in molten metal ( a story I heard, never verified...).

    Yeah, because 2 year old video cards and crappy screens work better than the comparable model Dell that costs a third less.

    Boy Scouts led to some of the bigger ones. It is pretty nice to pack in ziplock bags to go camping, and they sell very nice 3 gallon bags that work well.

    It is a great app, I am glad that the Android (Data?) market didn't uninstall it from my phone when that happened.

    I don't quite get the Cell phone to communicator comparisons though, a cell phone requires an enormous infrastructure to work, the communicators just worked. The best comparison I would make would be sat phones, with the Enterprise being the sat, but the communicators even worked unit to unit when they were unable to get a signal to the Enterprise.

    Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging. In production they dropped the Nuclear because people are scared of nuclear stuff and felt people wouldn't use the machine if they thought it produced radiation. From reading, I am understanding it has more to do with nuclei, and not radiation, so that was probably a wire choice.

    Why would I buy a Mustang with the Internal Revenue Service included as a feature? You do realize this isn't the car talk forum, and we might not actually know what the hell IRS is? And since I can't even find it via Google, it must not be a very common one.

    Independent Rear Suspension? Seems like a difficult problem with rear wheel drive cars, as the differential would take a good amount of torque when you had it setup that way.

  14. Re:I applaud his efforts... on Tech Industry Reps To Speak Before Congress About SOPA · · Score: 1

    I saw the main theme of the Occupiers to be: Big banks gambled on our future, then were bailed out, but still caused the depression we are now in. Please fix these issues so we can actually get jobs to pay our student loans.

    I don't think that Occupy itself stood for everyone paying their student loans, though that may have been a few. The main issue I saw was a general inability to find work due to the economic problems which were rooted in the elite gambling with the economy, then getting bailed out. I don't believe that they were looking for handouts.

    The problem with America finally waking up is that we had protests of the abuses that were occurring as a normal business practice of the elite in the form of the Occupy movement, and everyone just called them dirty hippies because they didn't listen to their message, just what the media showed.

    Anyone who is working class and can't understand the message of Occupy, didn't hear the message.

  16. Re:Wrong question on Glimpse of Stephen Hawking's Computer · · Score: 1

    Materials science has come a long way. That flimsy looking device can probably take quite a bit more of a beating than older devices in the same class. How about Gorilla Glass, did that exist back then? The problem with comparing older stuff to newer is selection bias, many times the 1% that are still working are seen, rather than the millions that broke.

    The 82 milliseconds of low deceleration was probably the part where the car was driving on grass/gravel, just before hitting the wall. Apparently, the car dropped 16 mph in that period of time, as the impact was at 92mph and the acceleration was up to 108.

    According to the article, he was traveling at 75, apparently fell asleep, floored the gas up to 108, went off the road, and impacted at 92. When he left the road, his speed dropped, probably due to the roughness of the shoulder area.
