  1. Re:It Was Far More Than A Torrent Streamer on Netflix, Amazon, and Hollywood Studios Shut Down Dragon Box (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    This is simply amazing. Black Panther and Aquaman better watch out.

  2. Re:Why didn't they just bombard him... on Scientists Save Child's Life By Growing Him New Skin (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 2, Funny

    Multi-pass!

  3. How is that 10 year old still alive? on Air Force Gives 10-Year-Old Orbiting Satellite To Ham Radio Operators (arrl.org) · · Score: 1

    Which satellite are they orbiting?

  4. Woosh!

  5. Clutch

  6. Re:If it could remove scratches ... on Motorola Patents a Display That Can Heal Its Own Cracked Screen With Heat (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    It's a solid state phone. I don't think heating it is going to cause the circuitry to change to vacuum tube technology.
    Wait ... I think I misread that.

  7. Re:Do the math for charging? on 'Instantly Rechargeable' Battery Could Change the Future of Electric Cars (sciencedaily.com) · · Score: 1

    In the US it's about (38 liters) 10 gallons per minute, so It would take about 2 minutes (not counting the slowdown period for pre-pays).
    But, I think you missed the point.
    You would change the electrolyte, not do a rapid electrical charge.
    Since you are reusing the electrolyte, you need to take the spent electrolyte solution out, so a "gas station" would have to have at least one holding tank.
    The cool part is that you can keep it all contained because the connections need to be sealed and there should be very little loss, as opposed to basically pouring a highly volatile fluid through the air into a container.

  8. I don't think they are mutually exclusive.
    You could recharge your own electrolyte at home, while your car isn't even there.
    It is a method to move energy as a liquid.

  9. Re:It's useful on First Evidence For Higher State of Consciousness Found (neurosciencenews.com) · · Score: 1

    He's not being reckless. He said "used responsibly". That generally means that you are in a safe, secure environment with experienced users.
    Kindling doesn't happen with psychotics at reasonable dosing levels because they are not like alcohol or benzodiazepines.
    There is a lot of promise in the research into psychedelics to treat PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

    To be fair, bad trips suck (by definition), but the chance of that happening can be mitigated.

  10. Re:Why lasers? on Scientists Blast Antimatter Atoms With a Laser For The First Time (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    It's not in space.

  11. Actually AM2R is still up. They just released an update a couple of days ago.
    They sent C&D letters to the places that hosted the file for download.

  12. Re:Why not eat meat? on A Fresh Take On Fake Meat · · Score: 1

    Actually, you could eat meat for every meal. It's the processed grains that are killing us.
    Processing grains to take all of the fiber out of them is definitely NOT natural.
    The best way to eat grain is to feed it to a cow, then eat the cow.

  13. Re:I found another unicorn! on A Fresh Take On Fake Meat · · Score: 1

    Um, a flu vaccine doesn't have antibiotics.

  14. Zero Truism on Kids Prefer To Play Games On Mobile Devices Over Consoles · · Score: 2

    Children are not fully formed human beings.

  15. Re:Let's just ahead, shall we? on Antiperspirants Could Contribute to Particulate Pollution · · Score: 1

    Yeah, the real problem is the methane we produce.

  16. Re:Viable Replacement? on Dyn.com Ends Free Dynamic DNS · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the tip. I use Namecheap and didn't know about this feature.
    Now I can stop answering the no-ip emails every month.

  17. Re:They'll stop him on Audience Jeers Contestant Who Uses Game Theory To Win At 'Jeopardy' · · Score: 1

    Don't forget "The Rapist".

  18. Re:Knock versus pre-ignition on Australian Team Working On Engines Without Piston Rings · · Score: 1

    Water injection helps this. Especially when you are pushing 22 PSI of boost.

  19. Re:It won't work - sure about that? on Australian Team Working On Engines Without Piston Rings · · Score: 1

    Not if you use water injection!
    You would steam clean that baby!
    I currently use it on my turbo 2.3 with great success.

  20. Re:Nice idea but... on Australian Team Working On Engines Without Piston Rings · · Score: 1

    He did say little modification needed.
    They stopped using carburetors on production cars in the 80's (although there were a few GMs and the Japaneese Honda Civic that you could get into the mid 90's).
    Ethanol will not harm cars built from about 85 forward (fuel injected cars don't use cork gaskets).

    Here is a list of Internal Combustion Engine vehicles that use Hygrogen.

    Actually, Musk has the charging logs from the car, showing that it was charging normally when the fire started.
    (That would be evidence.)

  23. Re:Um, voice directions? on Hammerhead System Offers a Better Way To Navigate While Cycling · · Score: 1

    That doesn't mean you can't use open-ear Bluetooth headset for voice navigation/phone usage, without music.
