  1. Re:quizbot on Wolfram Promises Computing That Answers Questions · · Score: 1

    I asked "Do human bodies have bones" and got a yes.
    Wolfram alpha might be more complex, but as long it is not online we can't be sure.

    Quizbot is online now and is able to answer more question every day.

  3. Tesla coil on Physics Experiments To Inspire Undergraduates? · · Score: 1

    Why not make them build a tesla coil.

    They are great fun to play with, and they
    do not require alot of components.

  4. make them owners on How To Encourage Workers To Suggest Innovation? · · Score: 1

    I think it is very simple.

    1) Make them coowners.
    Part of the salary should be in company shares.

    It is important that it is not in stock options.

    2) Give them time to work on there own ideas.
    20% like Google is fine.

    This gives them both the encouragement and the
    opportunity to invent for the company.

     

  5. Class note market on A Teacher Asking Students To Destroy Notes? · · Score: 1

    Considering that it is a economics calls.

    You should suggest the teacher should drop the plan and instead set up a class note market where students can sell there class notes.

    That would encourage students to write good notes
    to get a high price, and good student could buy several good notes, study them and then write a extra good note to sell.

     

  6. my 2 cents on OpenID Fan Club Is Shrinking · · Score: 1

    On my site http://crowdnews.eu/ 100% of the sign ups
    is by openid.
    But thats becouse it is the only option.

    If openid is the only options for login
    it does simplify the database structure for your site. But the code become more complex.

    Also there are some bugs in the openid 2.0 specs. which makes it unsafe and costly.

    Also I feel that openid is missing support for online shopping.

    I have often felt that the should be easier way to supply all the info they ask, when you buy something online. Also postal address is usely formatted different depending of the region you live in. It would be nice if openid just had a field called postal_address which containd it in a correct user supplied format.

    If the openid consortium could make openid 3.0
    which made online shopping easier and maybe included a technology like http://ripple.sourceforge.net/
    without the bugs in 2.0 then I think it would have a good purpose.

    Yes, you can still commit crimes and fraud, but you don't have to, in the present money system
    some people is forced to commit crimes and fraud to eat and have a place to sleep.

    We are all part of a local tribe we call friends and family and local peer pressure is all that is needed.

  9. Re:Beauty of Capitalism on SpaceShipTwo Mothership Makes Maiden Flight · · Score: 1

    Well, you shouldn't analyze the two features in isolation.

    That the is no credit limit means that crimes dosn't pay. It better to use the credit than risk beening cut in a crime.

    The time, public record and peer presure will help limit the inflation.

    With abstract value measure like $ the value can fluctuate. When you use a concrete standard like time, there is no room for fluctuation. 1 minute is 1 minute for everyone.

    Also that there is a public record means
    that there is a peer presure, so you might hear for it if your credit is very high.

       

  10. Re:Beauty of Capitalism on SpaceShipTwo Mothership Makes Maiden Flight · · Score: 1

    I totally agree, but I think that the best way to do this is build the balance into the economic system by making a time based community credit system.

  11. Force field on The Best Burglar Alarm In History · · Score: 2, Interesting

    At first, I thought he had managed
    to make a force field around the car using a tesla coil.

    But then I saw that he was just rotating a pole connected to a tesla coil around the car, what a disappointment.

    It might actually be possible to make a force field with a Tesla coil if you can find the correct field harmonics.
    See http://amasci.com/freenrg/audwall.html

    You might also have to know something about
    quaternionic electromagnetism to pull it of.

  12. Re:Lets think about this for a while on Pushing 800W of Wireless Power at 5 Meters · · Score: 1

    Nicola Tesla's methods of wireless power wasn't
    wireless in the sense that you wouldn't need a wire for you laptop.

    Tesla transmitted power using one wire and then later replaced the one wire with the earth.
    See page 44 in
    http://www.scribd.com/doc/4445/quaternionic-electrodynamics

    So, Tesla's method is wireless in the sense
    that there is no wires from the power station to your home, but you would still have to connect the laptop with a wire to the earth.

  13. So, can we get back to the antigravity reseach now on Future of Space Elevator Looks Shaky · · Score: 0

    A good place to start is to read the book
    They All Told the Truth: The Antigravity Papers
    by Richard P. Crandall

    http://www.amazon.com/They-All-Told-Truth-Antigravity/dp/1553957237

    Notice that the typesetting on this book is very bad, so if that is all you look at you will be very disappointed.

    But this book will teach you how to build a anti-gravity generator and will provide you with
    the theoretical foundation for understanding anti gravity.

    But to understand the theory you should know about
    general relativity and quaternionic electromagnetism.
