Also, liquifying it requires some pretty low temps, cryogenic storage, etc. Takes a fair amount of power to do this and you're still requiring 4 times the volume of liquid hydrogen as gasoline, for the same amount of power. Finally, hydrogen storage can result in metal hardening of containers and valves.
I really don't see hydrogen as a mobile fuel source. Would be very expensive to transport, store, distribute.
Would make more sense to focus on electrical storage and power of vehicles, as we already have an electrical distribution setup in place. Use hydrogen in large underground storage environments as a way of storing variable energy production (wind and solar).
Yeah, someone could be requesting gov't archive data about the history of nuclear weapons in the U.S. and by putting together a single article with several bits of unclassified data, he could generate a classified piece of information. But would he be guilty? Not really. He's not under the onus of properly handling secure documents. These rules only apply to those cleared and trained to handle such information. These people have also been informed of the law in respect to classified information and are now under covered by the laws and consequences applying to classified data handling.
As for the document that the reporter put together, if it hasn't been widely disseminated, the gov't could come in and mark it as classified and seek to control it. 'Course, once it's out there, well there's that horse and barn door thing.
Years ago, Jane's Aviation published a series of post cards about interesting satellites. Turns out one of the sats was a classified military one. The few post cards that are still out there are now collectors items but have fun trying to sell it.
Going back to the original issue of Tennessee law, yeah, it'll be interesting to see if lawyers/judges try to push stuff this way. If a state or federal legislature created a law that would cover combining two legal bits of data and rule that it was now illegal, would it be similar to manufacturing drugs, where it's legal to own several different types of chemicals and drugs but when you start combining them, you're now guilty of manufacturing drugs? They'd somehow have to link the base process and the output together. Would be an ugly law to try and draft and can see lots of chances for loopholes and such.
So a mathematician will have no problem of seeing minor's head and adult's body as separate entities that have been brought into proximity.
Interesting. In classified matter training, we're taught that two unclassified pieces of information, when brought together in a single document can cause that document to then become classified. I wonder if someone is trying to push the law in that direction?
Thanks, but am just regurgitating David Brin with a bit of Bob Lassiter (80's-90's talk radio guy: They don't care what you believe, as long as you blame your neighbors for how things are. They don't like you, they don't want to hang out with you. They're too rich!). Wish I had time to dig out Brin essay on the diamond shaped society of the west.
And then there's the Big Red Camaro. It hit 222 MPH on a twisty Nevada highway and averaged 197 MPH for the entire run, back in '89.
WHAM! The Camaro shot forward, straining on the edge of traction on the shaved Goodyear Z-rated Eagles.
WHAM! R.J. shifted into second and squeezed the throttle till the rear broke loose, then eased off to get a grip again. The faces on the starting line, once individual, blurred into one long line of eyes and smiles and open mouths.
WHAM! We were in third gear and the wind was beginning to roar outside the side window. Man, are going fast! But as the engine sliced through the rpm, I knew we weren't going half as fast as we would be going. About the time the tach read 7000 rpm in third gear, the road had shrunk to about half as narrow as it was when we shifted to third. We were flat cooking.
The shift into fourth wasn't quite as violent. The 2.52 rear gear was tall enough to take the edge off the torque, and the car just seemed to squirt smoothly up to light speed. The tach settled in at 6500 rpm, or roughly 200 MPH, and I swear that I was seeing the shif of light from the doppler effect that occurs at relativistic speeds.
As we descended into the valley and denser air, the engine made more power and climbed to 7000 rpm. I remember Bill Osborne saying, "If you see 7000 rpm in fourth, you're going 220 MPG."

This was from the 1989 Nevada Silver State Challenge open road race. They shut down 90 miles of state highway and let you go as fast as you can.
That us-and-them geographical, language or ethnicity identification is pretty weird. Try to cultivate the "scared bunny" / "everyone's out to get me" attitude and you won't feel sorry when a local coyote or mountain lion gets run over by a foreign truck.
The whole us/them left/right axis is just part of the circuses to distract the crowd. If you really want to see the us/them divide, it's the upper crust Kleptocrats against everyone else. We're all just cattle and cat food to them. The only way they can make the tens of thousands of dollars a minute they do is by harnessing the earning power of lots of ants and skimming off a bit of everyone else's productive power.
After WWII, the traditional pyramid shape of society (large number or poor, smaller number of middle class and very small number of upper class) changed towards more of a diamond shape. Ever since then, a lot of folks have been trying to revert that, driving down real wage gains while increasing productivity. All that benefit of efficiency has to go somewhere and it's not going down to the poor and it's not showing up in the paychecks of the works so it must be flowing up towards the top.
Yup. In this case, 'sugar' is a word. But in the context of this headline, doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Now, if they'd written it out Sugar-On-a-Stick Goes 1.0 or "Sugar on a Stick" Goes 1.0, that would make it easier to understand that that grouping of words was the name of of something.
Would be fun if you ended up in a totally different type of world; fantasy to SF or SteamPunk. Would still have skills but would have to acquire new ones to be effective.

Yup, fresh air and the sun.
Don't forget concrete poisoning. Positioned just 10m away, on a 1 g gravity gradient, it can be deadly.
I have an '03 Springfield that works just as good as my cousin's Remington 700 (about 15 years old). Course mine has a lot cooler markings on it.
Now, if I could just get a nice Garand...
Art Therapy man! That's where the bucks are, education wise.
Will the NetBSD version be out tomorrow or on Friday?
Why do you lie?
So the wife doesn't get riled up. Why else?
I almost had a degree in art but dropped out. My density is closer to methylene iodide.
What? No Ninjas, Pirates, or Monkeys?
If there was a way to see the IR that bounces through bathing suits and light cotton...
Lone Star Planet?
If I could retrofit my '70 Impala and get rid of that damn transmission that keeps blowing up, I'd be happy. Stupid big block with too much torque!
What's next...federal mandates on underwear design?
Spiderman Underoos or nothing at all!

I must be boring as I still think plain sex with a naked chick is fun. Never got the whole dressing up thing.
Ooh, thank you!
It's quite soothing.
I don' thing t'hose words mean whad you ting dey mean.
Molten lead. Get's 'em every time!
