    If you are in a significant quake (even the 3.9 in VA was pretty significant) you will feel it standing up, I work about 100 miles from the VA quake, and the whole building I was in (ground floor) was moving back and forth, it felt like a shift of 3 ft or so. It wasn't something you would miss unless you are in a car.

    You are definitely not the norm, but for those that occasionally go more than 100miles (160km), a towable generator would work just fine for the average EV. Just include a bit more in the plug; charge, on/off control; along with the brake/turn signal lights.

    It might be a patent on the way that the APs are used, to provide access for many people. This would cause it not to be a manufacturing issue. It could also be on the use of high gain antennas to boost the range of a 802.11 antenna.

  19. Re:The major lessons on Fukushima: Myth of Safety, Reality of Geoscience · · Score: 1

    You are so ignorant, that it is actually funny to read...

    Name one country that has been "one little hiccup is all it takes to render countries uninhabitable." Hell, the worst nuclear disaster in history, which was pretty much a worst case, didn't do this.

    "you're a short-sighted, callous monster. the design of all current nuclear plants on earth require constant off-site power to prevent catastrophic meltdown and the spent-fuel pools catching on fire,"

    Bull shit. This is only the case for this 43 year old design. The other reactor installations in the same area shutdown just fine. The issue with this one was that the design required power to prevent the production of H2 gas from the core overheating. Other plants use a passive system to burn off the H2 gas in a safe manner. Without the H2 explosion, Fukushima was absolutely nothing, and even with the tops blowing off two of the reactors, there was very little radiation released.

  21. Re:"Re-Opens"? on Japan Re-Opens Some Towns Near Fukushima · · Score: 1

    The main problem with nuclear as well is the irrational fear of new nuclear plants causing many aging plants to be forced to continue running, even though the newer plant is much safer. Fukushima was of a very old design, and proved that it could not withstand a tsunami, there were however, several other nuclear plants in the same area that did not fail, and shutdown properly when the earthquake happened, but no one mentions the plants that don't fail.

  22. Re:"Re-Opens"? on Japan Re-Opens Some Towns Near Fukushima · · Score: 1

    If you want perfectly safe power, which is what you are indicating is your expectation of nuclear, then you will have exactly 0 power. There is not a single power generation method that is perfectly safe, and in fact, nuclear has the least deaths per unit power of any power production method. I don't see you railing against the industrial pollution coming from solar panel production plants in China, or the pollution involved with the production of rare earth magnets for wind power. The many deaths involved with coal, the dangers of fracking involved in natural gas production, or the destruction upstream of hydro dams, and the destruction downstream when they fail. Get off your high horse and remove your blinders, nuclear is the most safe production method in the entire world, but when a disaster happens, which causes no deaths, and causes a very minor release (behind background levels!) you rail against the nuclear threat, even though it is non existent.

  23. Re:Trickle up vs down on NASA, Google Award $1.35M For Ultra-Efficient Electric Aircraft · · Score: 1

    Repeating the same failed arguments over and over does not make them true. There are tons of minerals in space, and many things space are entirely possible. Space elevators are possible if we can scale up carbon nanotubes, which is something which has been progressing very nicely recently. However, space elevators aren't the best way to do it, a launch loop is perfectly doable right now, it just requires the investment to get off the ground.
