    though risking karma getting into this fray, I must ask why LATER?

    Because Ebay are cunts and don't give a fuck about their "customers"?

  2. Re:Hydrogen Boron Reaction? on Fusion Power By 2020? Researchers Say Yes and Turn To Crowdfunding. · · Score: 1

    The article also mentions that a lot of the energy released would be photons, which are harder to convert into electricity.

    Ah, photons, sounds nice and fuzzy. Gets more amusing when you realise those photons are hard gamma radiation.

    Scientists may ostensibly only in it for the science, but ultimately they're still just people with jobs and reputations to protect.

    In their paper in Physics of Plasmas [aip.org] they report having achieved the density and temparature necessary for aneutronic (hydrogen-boron) fusion.

    Fusion woo.

    even with isotopically pure fuel there are several nasty side reactions, including these:

            11B + alpha 14N + n
            11B + p 11C + n
            11B + p 12C + gamma

    The first two produce neutrons (albeit low-energy), and the third produces hard gamma rays.

    There are several Fusion reactors around the world that now produce more energy than they consume.

    Ah, that's why you still need the filter.

    In France most (all?) ISPs disable the voice service and the advice is to not use a filter. (Most internet connections are "triple play", VOIP, IPTV and internet all over ADSL, fibre or cable).

    Without sane voices (UK and Denmark amongst others) suggesting a slower expansion

    A-historical bullshit. It was the UK (and, to some extent Germany) that forced the rapid expansion (wider not deeper) and it was France (or, to be more exact Sarkozy) that stopped Turkeys entry.

    Benefits to the EU? we are one of the FEW countries who actually put in more than we take out.

    Where "few" means 13.

    And of the 13 net contributors the UK is the third smallest per capita. Cypriots pay almost as much as Brits (123 EUR vs 159 EUR).

    Are there any benefits that a random British person could point out, that are the result of UK being in the EU?

    As a random British person I can say that the major benefit was that it made it easy for me to leave the UK and get a job (and eventualy start a company) in the EU.
