Allright, that aside, I knew of a bunch of nuts working a quarry that their explosives tech got sick and they needed to blast. (this was wayy back in the 60s or 70s.) So this kid piped up that he could do it since he watched the blaster work. Or so he said.. First blast didn't do squat, the second same thing. The kid was getting flustered so he stuffed a 15' borehole to the brim with TNT and touched it off.. The resulting blast put a rock the size of a truck tire thru a house's roof, landing on the toilet!
I can see playing paintball around this house would be a blast! BUT! That turret would be a deathtrap for any joker that got into the top of it. hmm....

The USA-PATRIOT Act was not really built as a anti-terrorism act, but as a addon to the RICO statutes pre-9/11. After 9/11, they put a different wrapper on it and ramrodded it thru the houses. Even the media was snookered by the wrapper and the facade that was built up around it.

Hydrogen itself aint so dangerous, unless it's in cryogenic (liquid) or mixed with a oxidizer. Lockheed's Skunk Works did development in the field of using hydrogen to power jet engines. Their findings is that the production and storage of hydrogen was manageable, but had to be handled by skilled technicans.
One time they had tested blowing the top off of a LH2 tank, all it happened was that the hydrogen vented off. They tossed a flare on top of the vent and it simply burned off. They proceeded to mix hydrogen with oxygen and the resulting blast wave nearly knocked two men off of a scaffolding!
And a good hosts file. You catch a joker that does not know better, just slap the pocket blacklist in his system and explain what you did and why, they'll get the point.

Not to mention EDUCATION! They won't listen, then they will sit there and suffer because you said "I told you so" and nail them for another service call at full rate. They maybe thick-skulled, but rest assured that they'll feel it in their pocketboot and perhaps grow a brainstem. They wanna bring in their cousin that's a gtech wannabe, fine. Once he gets done tearing up the system, pick up the pieces, at full rate.
Here in South Texas, Verizoned is a red-headed stepchild that needs his butt spanked so badly for neglecting the communities that it services. (And thats a negatory on misspelling their name.) IT was only that the US Navy stomped hard on Verzon's toes to get digital grade service for Naval Station Ingleside. At least 1/2 of the community there has at least some form of digital grade lines and SLCs in place. The rest have analog RTs and rotten copper pairings....
I can see potential with this invention. Take the basic idea then utilize it to decorate cakes and confections with. Print your loved one's face on a triple-layer chocolate cake for their birthday and watch as their jaws hit the floor with astonishment. I can see dollar signs perking already!
Now if only someone would be so kind and dredge up a cross-reference chart for their inkjet cartridges so that the poor folks that bought dell inkjets can buy their ink at the local wal-mart, instead of relying on mail order.
I KNOW that they are Lexmark carts, it's just which model cross-refs with the Dell model #'s.
Don't forget about their growth serum that Animal got ahold of in The Muppet Movie. Saved Kermit from certain doom at the end of The Frogkiller's spears.
The tank design itself was safe. The problem was voltages and the thermal limit switches. Where the LOX tank was fabricated they used 24 volt power to test the tanks. At the Cape, they used 48 or 72 volts DC at the pad. When they did the forced LOX purge, the limit switches fused shut the instant they were subjected to the higher voltages, hence the temperature inside the tank rose to a nice 400 degrees F. The interior temperature gauges were not calibrated to detect the oven-like heat that occurred. The teflon insulation could not handle the heat, burned to carbon and thusly provided the fuel for the explosion. When they stirred the tanks, the carbon residue from the telfon heated and the raw LOX saturating the material provided the cataylic reaction in which the high temperatures caused the supercritical LOX slush to flash to a gas. There was an explosion, but from a massive surge of gaseous oxygen, not from explosives.
Eh, Brute force. They needed the AGC to be as simple, yet programmable with all the steps necessary to get the boys on the moon and back. So they took the PDP8 and squeezed it down into the size of a early 80's era Kaypro portable (now that's saying something about my age) and managed to get it to draw as much power as your coffeemaker. THEORETICALLY, they could have done it with a sextant and a good clock, BUT! Their navigation skills had to be dead-bang on every time to the fraction of a minute. So it was easier to shoehorn this colossus into the spacecraft and let it do the driving.
I can't wait for that reflected moderated reactor to come online up in Alaska. Toshiba's 4S system, consists of a prefabricated core, sealed at the factory, then delivered to the site and installed into prefabricated concrete casings, then plumbed and wired. The 4S system does not use the traditional rod and core design. It design is based on a reflector that moves up and down the face of the uranium core, reflecting neutrons back into the core, causing the fission rate in increase, creating power. If more power is needed, the refector moves faster, but it also shortens the core's life, which is 6 years on the nominal decay rate. The upshot to this design is that if something breaks, the reflector simply stops, and the core cools down back to it's normal static decay rate. For instance, you have a power surge that causes a turbine trip, which in turn causes a surge in high pressure steam feed. The operator or automation would take note of it, tripping emergency venting on the secondary coolant loop, finally ordering the reactor to SCRAM. The refector stops moving and things cool down and the community relies on the auxillary generator until a technician can come out to check things out before resetting the system back to normal power generation.
The problem that many ISPs had was with their POP software that could NOT provide web-based services until here lately. The ISP I work for has that capability, coupled with some mondo antispam filtering, we've managed to keep several hundered thousand spam from hitting our client's boxes.
