  1. Re:oh, and one more thing... on Apple Planning Intel iBook Debut for January? · · Score: 1

    Of course they are. Now, this may not be the same DRM setup that's out there now but there will most likely be some custom chip that will only be on Apple motherboards so that you can't go and install it on a Win/Dell box. As to not letting you make copies of any .mp3, .doc, .jpg, etc., don't know about that. Don't think Apple would do that. Seems like they're into supporting content creation.

    I don't drink my beer every day. From the time I leave my house to the time I get home, it's about 14 hours. Mostly, beer is for the weekend. Even then, I only have a beer or two. And if I run out, I'll wait around a bit before brewing. Heating 15 gal of mash is a real pain and takes all day, what with cleaning and such.

    Lately, I've been getting into 1 gal batches of mead. Hmmm...mead...

  8. Re:Living on the moon would be great on Lunar 'Lawnmower' Devised for Moon Colonists · · Score: 1

    I realized a long time ago that I'd be rather well suited to live in Antartica or other artificial environments. While I do enjoy nature, I don't seem to need large doses of it. A small park with some grass and a few trees would do for me, up on the moon.

  9. Re:Lunar Dust on Lunar 'Lawnmower' Devised for Moon Colonists · · Score: 1

    Stuff sounds like that volcanic dust Mt. St. Helens left all over central Washington state. I rolled a Nova in the median of I-90 and had the worst time trying to get that crap out of the engine. Some of it was magnetic, some stuck from static, and it was all abrasive. Had to do a complete tear down and rebuild of the engine, replacing every bearing and seal. What a pain.

  10. Re:lawn? on Lunar 'Lawnmower' Devised for Moon Colonists · · Score: 1

    Rather than dig in, set up large mylar bubbles (just a few ounces/sq in of pressure inside) and then coat them in an epoxy made up of lunar dust? Mebbe run a current through the stuff (or run a really big lunar mower over it) to fuse the iron in it?

    Heh, I've moved up to brewing in 15 gal kegs. I bottle it in 5 gal soda kegs. Only have to brew twice a year now.

    Because we don't have nice underground warrens already built there? Will be a lot of work getting things set up. Yeah, eventually the surface area of habitat spaces will be not heavily trafficked. There will still be a lot of equipment and sensors up there.

  17. Re:Additional supplement to the hydrogen? on Truckers Choose Hydrogen Power · · Score: 1

    Water also helps cool the intake air, leading it to be cooler and denser, putting more O2 into the system. The cooler temps also allow you to run more advance on a gasoline engine, creating more power, or run more compression. Yum!

    The 200X cap problem seems to be due to the fact that all the caps were coming from one Taiwanese manufacturer. The dangers of one group cornering the market on anything.

    Bad Caps have been a problem since 2002 at least. For awhile, I was making some bucks repairing Apple Airports, with all their bad caps.
