In his youth, Einstein caught up to the forefront of basically every field of physics, and made substantial contributions to several of the most intractable problems of the time. Nothing about his fame was random.
Maybe you could find a scap water tower and install some port windows. If you're really paranoid you could keep a.50 up there. So then the general populace would see a double-wide and a weird water tower, and not your jacuzzi-infested underground laboratory/bar superdome suite.
Plants convert carbon dioxide into usable energy on a scale we can not compete with. That alone makes me feel this venture is impractical, except maybe for PR.
Underground flywheels would work far better for soaking up off-peak power in principle, since electric motors and generators are so efficient.
I can't remember the accident at all, but when I got in a *very bad* bike accident this summer someone had just stolen my front light, and I was riding at night.
When I started a graveyard shift I bought a 300 lumen rechargeable front light and it cheers me whenever I think of it.
Around here if you wear regular clothes while biking, people will throw things at you because they assume you're either too poor to buy a car or the judge told you you can't drive one anymore. If you wear cycling clothes, they will throw things at you because you are one of those douchebags who wears cycling clothes.
Where I am, people throw stuff at me because they want me to use the sidewalk.
I currently have a 12 mile ride, and the 2 blocks (!) I don't have a bike lane, I have had a filled drink cup and a rock or something thrown at me.
I don't have a car, and cycling is faster than taking the bus.
As far as all of the vegans I have dicussed it with, a person can agree to be eaten, so that is fine. A cow can never consent to being consumed, except at the Restaurant At the End of the Universe.
I.e. a German company outsources manufacture to Southern China, the company gets taxed the same amount no matter where in the world they come from or whatever, but that money would be directed to produce clean energy in Northern China, offsetting coal.
An impartial global organization ought to tax industrial and freight pollution and use the money to 1) build energy 2) water plants 3) disincentive-ize rainforest destruction internationally, allotting the funds exactly according to the apportionment of the contributions.
I can see how education will actually stick. There will be some sensational media story about someone blinding a lot of people with a handheld laser, and a lot of people will suddenly know about this issue. This news-driven form of education will lead to extensive bans.
Also, I have hit my head in a road accident this last summer, running into a curb. I broke two bones in my face (left eye orbit and maxilla), and I had stitches on three sides of my left eye, and I ripped my lip wide open. I also broke the top of my left scapula. I had a concussion severe enough that the first thing I can remember was being in the ambulance. I was wearing a helmet, which likely kept me from striking my left temple flat on the sidewalk, which might have been much more severe. For this reason I will always wear a helmet. Lots of people fall off of ladders, and nobody ever thinks they will.
Drunk driving is about 100x more important than this.
I cycle 10-20 miles a day and everything I have seen leads me to believe that my greatest dangers are 1) drunks 2) speeders. I wear a neon yellow helmet and my bike has lots of lights (including EL wire!). I don't care what the law is. The attitude that people in the US have towards casual drunk driving is far far more important than people being used to bicycles on the road.
Savages who have among them researchers who may have invented a medicine that may end up ranking near penicillin in greatness... Every single major problem in Africa took root from colonialism IMO.
Well yeah, Apple *engineers* their stuff. Dell, HP, generally *make it fit in the case*. Point me to the major difference between a "Dell" MB and one by Asus, ASRock, etc. Apple makes use of the same industry-standard ICs, but their stuff looks beautiful inside.
The idea had stuck by then. A set of priests picked up some Persian mysticism during the exile, retold in the proto-Talmud, and the author of the Revelations got into all kinds of eclectic beliefs.
On the other hand, does matter. I would chastize someone for using 'your' not because they misspelled a spoken contraction but for using 'are', a form of to be. Makes you much more prone to talking nonsense.
I mostly agree with you, but as a male born after 1980, I see a *lot* of patriarchy happening. Many many times I have seen men treating women like trophies, especially around alcohol. I mean, in public, up front, like talking about their 'girl friend' seated right next to them in the third person, about how dumb she is. It drives me nuts.
But yeah then there are 'feminists' who are actually seeking attention, and/or using 'feminism' as a tool to cut and paste their social circles to their liking. No joke: I have watched a female go through *dozens* of quick relationships, only to have her lacky call out each fellow as a 'misogynist' in turn. Who did she settle on? The most monied dude to come along was a perfect gentleman as far as the 'feminist' was concerned!
So, basically, a compromise, where these kinds of patents expire quite quickly. I like this idea. Still, the most powerful organizations will *make* ways to keep their patents longer, requiring further legislation. Still, advancing the game seems like a sound venture to me.
BTW, my job is not at the general lackey level, either.
Yeah, f*** lackeys. Then when their kids grow up used to the idea that companies spy on their parents, we can descend into the next level of invasiveness as they take on every kind of job including ones like yours and higher.
They really stressed this point during the Enlightenment, that all men need equality.

Just so you know, some of the best bicycles now have belt drives and up to 14-speed internal hub gears.

Easily the worst first sentence on /. in a while.
Making something like this work on a desktop would be trivial for such a low-power consumption project. It will arrive on the desktop tangentially.
