  3. Re:Solar cells are already cheap enough on Plasmonic Nanostructures Could Prove a Boon To Solar Cell Technology · · Score: 1

    (3) Can we get a battery operated one?

  5. Information Problem? on Black Holes Grow By Eating Quantum Foam · · Score: 1

    Since the entropy of a black hole is proportional to the area of the event horizon, and this is a reflection of the information content of the black hole, is there an issue with the information situation? Does the quantum foam that spontaneously creates these micro black holes inside the event horizon represent information? Or is there an information quandary implicit in this proposal?

  13. Re:When do I get my exoskeleton? on Carbyne: a Form of Carbon Even Stronger Than Graphene · · Score: 4, Funny

    When I was a kid, I used to buy a sophisticated carbon product for data recording. At the time a pencil was two cents...

  14. Re:A partial success on NASA Abandons Kepler Repairs, Looks To the Future · · Score: 1

    I believe that what you are referring to is actually the 'Biggity Boom Boom Clunk" actuator.

  15. Potential Dangerous Footing? on Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria That Can Colonize Most Plants Discovered · · Score: 1

    If the ground gets all full of nitrogen, won't we just sink into it?

  16. I know nothing about linux on Ask Slashdot: Hardware Accelerated Multi-Monitor Support In Linux? · · Score: 1

  20. Equivalent question & Corollary on Ask Slashdot: Permanent Preservation of Human Knowledge? · · Score: 1

    This is the same as asking what information & how to preserve it for a generational starship. While en route there would be limited need for much of the accumulated knowledge, but once established as a distant colony, that would change.

    Corollary would be: what is the minimum population required to maintain the diverse productive capacity that feeds our standard of living (both #'s of diverse producers and consumers to achieve satisfactory economies of scale) ( acknowledging that on demand production is coming) and product development improvements.

  21. Re:Improved Customer Experience on Motorola Is Listening · · Score: 4, Funny

  23. Complicated Consequences on Neuroscientist: First-Ever Human Head Transplant Is Now Possible · · Score: 1
