  1. Maybe on New Houses Killing Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    PC Pro should stick to computers. House wraps are not new. They're not even new in the last twenty years. Would you like higher heating bills, or maybe having to put a repeater near a window if you want wifi outside. Though why you would even give a shit if you get wifi outside your house is beyond me.

  2. Fuck... on Amazon Named the "Most Reputable Company" · · Score: 1

  8. Re:I'm pretty sure Titan is the home of... on NASA Picks Up Rainstorms On Titan · · Score: 1

    Sort of. There is not appropriate oxygen OR temperature for there to be fires, but assuming there WAS. Titan's atmosphere is:
    1.5x Atm -OR - 14.7psia * 1.5 = 22.05psia. Methane at this pressure is mostly liquid.
        1. Its melting point is then -279 deg(F).
        2. It would flash at -204.26 deg(F) with an ignition source.
        3. It would auto ignite (again, sufficient oxygen) at -271.02 deg(F).
    However this is all very academic as the temperature on the surface averages -355.1 deg(F).

  9. Re:ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY on A Look At the World's Dwindling Food Supply · · Score: 1

    Oil won't just disappear one day, it will be a decline with a price inflation that keeps pace and will eventually jump. However oil's decline will also have an effect on population; mortality rates will rise with heating, electricity, and water shortages would cause a curbing of our population. Also there is a 200 year or better supply at even current yearly demand just under U.S. property. There is plenty of land to put to the plough, so long as we manage it correctly. Don't forget the Dust Bowl, China is having one now because they're flattening the land like we did before the 30's; instead of using land management (post mgmt Act) techniques. Balancing forces, yes?

  10. Re:ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY on A Look At the World's Dwindling Food Supply · · Score: 2

    Farming is hugely energy intensive, you think it's just the sun? Fertilisers, machinery use large amounts of oil and gas. Never mind the amount of water that is required.

    Yes, NOW. The US was one of the largest agrarian cultures on the planet, and we didn't have oil until the 1850's. Spin again Colin.

    It's called the FIRE TRIANGLE. Fuel, Oxygen, Heat. In addition to all three parts, the mixture has to be perfect for combustion to occur. If the temperature/pressure is not sufficient to reach the flash point of the hydrocarbon, it will not ignite. Ever. Also the flash point is different at different pressures.

    This place has really gone the tubes.

    Oh, you mean, This place has really gone down the tubes. Well to pay some homage to Mr. Carlin, 'It would seem to me, one country, one tube. But is every state all of a sudden have to have its own tube now? One tube is all you need. But a tube that big? Somebody would have seen it by now. "Hey Joey! Get a load of these *****' tubes!" '

  15. Re:Meltdown? on Third Blast At Japan's Fukushima Nuclear Plant · · Score: 2

    Worse than Three Mile Island? Just because it is billed as the "Worst Nuclear Plant release in US History" does not make it terrible. That statement literally says OUT OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED, this one trumped it. There were no significant releases other than noble gasses that would have decayed within seconds, the gas drillers are atomizing freaking radium226 into the air, and you think some irradiated NITROGEN is a problem? Try radioactive rain, irradiated garbage dumps that aren't designed to hold radioactive materials, and an irradiated water supply. Drink up. READ some

  21. Land management on Russian Scholar Warns Of US Climate Change Weapon · · Score: 0

    Right, it couldn't be that china has an expansionist policy with a huge farming population. A farming community that is making the EXACT same soil management mistakes we made prior to the dust bowl. They need to admit they can't conquer the soil of their country, the same as we couldn't in the midwest.. If you don't work the land right, this happens.
