Actually, many similarities: airships float in a sea of air, using buoyancy just as a ship does. Perhaps more like a submarine, but those are boats too.:)
And the loss of the Hindenburg certainly put a crimp in airship travel!
So if I understand you correctly, you are saying that the statement:
'Hindenburg stopped boat traveling' is correct then:-)?
NSA, Supreme Protector of the UNITED STATES (Best STATES) composed six operas in two years,
NSA, Supreme Protector of the UNITED STATES (Best STATES) invented THE HAMBURGER In the year 2000
NSA, Supreme Protector of the UNITED STATES (Best STATES) was born under a METEOR and a DOUBLE RAINBOW
NSA, Supreme Protector of the UNITED STATES (Best STATES) Shoots 38 under par,5 hole in ones on first try at Golf.
This concludes tonight's propaganda broadcast.....
Oh and we forgot, NSA also foiled a plot by shameless criminals to destroy the economy.
What do you mean by ITER having a good head start? ITER is still a giant construction site! Here's what ITER currently looks like. Yes, it's that hole in the ground.
I meant that ITER the project was initiated in 1988, thus giving them a good head start. I didn't say that they were still ahead.
Not quite, the whole system it actually consumed more than it produced. The power outputted by the lasers was less than was produced. There are inefficiencies in the lasers so net power is negative.
Yes and in an future power producing environment, the thermal power output needs to be converted to electricity. Typical thermal power systems does this with an efficiency of about 33-48%, so there is still a way to go.
Still they are making fast progress compared to ITER, which have had a good head start.
That you give us actual fucking measurement numbers in millisievert per unit of time instead of scaremongering with ambigious definitions.
If I were 74 years old and my home had an annual 5mSv radiation dose(technically in excess of 2x civilian limits). I would live there, whole fucking year. And if I die of cancer, I'd have done so anyway.
Well the city of Namie (within the 10km radius) that is mentioned in the story, was sort of lucky and didn't get all that much fallout and has something like the 5mSv of a yearly dose rate like you mention. But it i surrounded by other communities that has more than 10-20 times higher dose rates, even though some of them are further out in the 20-30 km radius. There is no scaremongering, just reporting on a serious situation.
Also I don't think a 74 year old woman is likely to do very well in a community that has no services, and where everything is shut down.
He should thank the government for putting him in contact with such a large client base.
Building a contact list like that on the outside would have taken decades.

Or that attorney who tried to sue "the oatmeal" I forget his name...
You mean that carrion dude right? Witha a name like that, perhaps there is some connection to Barry's VitaPro textured protein meat replacement?
Ah, the ancient trick with registering yourself under a relevant nick ten years before I make a comment? Like I'm going to fall for that!
Some people will stop at nothing, not even time travel, to pull someones leg.
HP is well onto the course IBM was 25 years ago, shoot yourself in the foot, and repeat
Someone should show them the AA12, its the perfect weapon for this
I thought we were supposed to use C++ for this.
Twodrive, Threedrive, etc. The possibilities are (literally) endless!
Well,at-least until they hit Googolplex-drive and end up in MAD patent battle with Google.

Hindenburg would have been a better example.
Except the Hindenburg wasn't a boat
He spent $360 on just the case and power supply. Doesn't seem like he was trying all that hard.

I thought they invented polynomials.
No polynomials were invented by the Bhinese.
0.1 Earth radius !! Here we come!!
Well, I don't know....
I would imagine You'd have to crash pretty hard to achieve that.
Move to strike! Parent got re-parented.
Insightful? Informative? Underrated? Anyone?
I don't have mod points today, so I'll guess I'll have to go with.... 'Anyone'?
Srsly though, the dude is right.

Can you cite an example of "lots of radioactive steel parts" becoming cars?
Not in the US, and not cars but here are references to elevator buttons http://uk.reuters.com/article/2008/10/22/oukoe-uk-france-lifts-radioactive-idUKTRE49L69320081022 And belt buckles. http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2013/05/29/asos_investigation_into_radioactive_belts_demonstrates_scrap_metal_problem.html Bonus link to the EPA http://www.epa.gov/radtown/orphan-sources.html

Why not fit cars with a voluntary limiter that users can enable themselves?
You mean, like a brake?
