Even if you could squeeze the hydrogen into really tight spaces in a heated crystal structure then cool it to get atomic forces to squeeze the hydrogen to an insane degree, you still won't come close to enough force to get proton capture.
So.... Are you sure about that? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyroelectric_fusion Sure it's not a positive energy fusion reaction, but they're doing exactly what you're describing and obtaining fusion. So you might want to reconsider your position.
They don't manually go through it. There are devices they plug into the usb/charger port if it's a smartphone and will download everything to the device. Doesn't matter if you have a password. More info here: http://www.cellebrite.com/forensic-products/forensic-products.html?loc=seg Of course they'll keep the info, store it in their databases forever. Goodbye privacy.
RDR was boring as hell. You run around in a sandbox where 99% of it is just boring stupid stuff. 10% of the time you just fall from a big height while galloping around on your hose. There is almost no interaction between you and the environment, the mini games are retarded, and the only thing that even is fun is to play the main story line which in a huge sandbox environment seems retarded since the story line is as straight and boring (with no choices) as you can get in a game. While it's ok, it misses the point of a sandbox type game. Compared to GTA the fun factor is way down there and subsequently people get bored of it and stop playing it after they get over the fact that it's a western sandbox with almost nothing to do in it but the storyline.
ok so all our equipment is vulnerable because the cooling equipment is controlled by some system which is vulnerable. It's not as if there are bypasses to the systems controlling the cooling right? Do you honestly think that people would just let these systems overheat if they knew there was a problem? Insanity.
And yes, from Amateur radio to military radio to 802.11g/n mesh networks to satellite communications will keep us going even if the internet melted.
ohh so inform me how a foreign country is going to shut down all communication. I would love to hear that. Last i checked, there's phone and radio as backup to loss of the internet. Backbone routers go down every day, rerouting occurs and their fixed. What you're suggesting is that everyone in the US gets DDOSed all at once? I somehow doubt you realize how the internet works. How there are all private networks that interconnect at multiple different places, that if a private network goes down it doesn't affect everyone.
So in your example you say i won't be able to communicate with my teachers, enroll in classes? I can't, you know, bring my laptop, connect to their wireless network on campus, sign into their webpages through their intranet and email/sign up/do whatever i want in the case that the internet was turned off? Sure it would be inconvenient to actually go to campus, be in range of their wifi, talk to my teachers face to face (ohh noes!), sign up for classes at the registrar, etc. It's a loss of convenience, nothing else. A hard copy of my resume? You mean a printed out copy? Yes, i have many of those. Surely you don't go to interviews without printing it out a few times? How will this national cyberwar affect optical data? The whole thing is insanity. Drop it. We're more likely to get hit by a meteor and have the earth explode than suddenly lose the internet.
what makes you think there are? cuz the boogie man told you? This is all just scare tactics and fear mongering to get people to spend money on a non existent problem. After all the terrorists have been defeated (lol) we need a new enemy to focus on. Might as well start looking around, spending money on cyber security sounds just as good as spending money on a missle defense shield or star wars program circa 1980s.
no such thing as a cyber war. If i were to guess, it would be koreans who win a cyber war because they're pros are starcraft. The US might be able to win at halo though, so it would be some sort of give and take.
Obviously violent video games are to blame as well as violence in the media. Lets get all the standard scapegoats of modern society and blame them. You know, besides what's really to blame in this case: criminals, society, police.
another thing is, is there really a need to delete info deemed not necessary by editors? For instance, there are a lot of bands/artists whom have their entry deleted because they're not a "signed band". Ex: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calamine_(band) Yes, they're the band that did the sealab 2021 theme song. Had an entry, but nope, deleted.
Perfect solution. Charge capacitor whenever you want at the lowest cost hours. Use said stored charge to power any devices you want at home including your car.
Yeah i know doesn't exist now/yet. But i don't see why it couldn't, you're moving capacity from the grid to the end point.
The way the system is now there is actually a disincentive to go out and look for work. A high majority of those cases if someone on unemployment is hired to do some work, their unemployment benefits are decreased and or is at risk of being forfeit. Therefore the safe bet is to stay at home, collect until you can't then start looking for a job. Fix that problem so they can collect until they find a job paying them at least up to 75% of what they were making before and that issue will probably go away. There are cases where someone got unemployment, immediately found another job and after a few weeks got laid off again and could not get unemployment again. Why risk that?
And if your purchase of a single washing machine literally supported hundreds of jobs, then I bet you would get a tax break for buying one too.
Damn, i can't tell if you're a troll or just dumb.
My dishwater does support hundreds of thousands of people that design, manufacturer, support, sell, maintain them. Ever hear of general electric? Yeah i thought you have. But suddenly your mega wealthy niche industry requires tax breaks for the mega wealthy to be viable? And you want the public to pay for it? You do realize that's what you're complaining about, right? But it's ok because you get a paycheck. You're about the same as people on welfare in that case. If your market can't survive without government subsidies or tax breaks then it's not sustainable.
Really? I thought they attached a VASMIR ion engine onto the ISS for orbital correction maneuvers. Attach a few more, load up some fuel and go. You know, explosions not withstanding.
People seem to want social security because they've paid into it their entire lives without having an alternative of opting out. It was supposed to be self sustainable. Look at the taxes over the past 50 years. Back in 1981 the top 5% of wealthy americans paid a 70% tax rate. How come now in 2011 they pay less taxes than people making 1/10th their yearly earnings? Something is wrong with that. Look at all the tax breaks for the wealthy, lets start there. Then lets look at our out of control spending.
Yeah i dun goofed. Thought it would be more efficient to allow several tons of hot air be compressed and heated before escaping at the top. Thought the best place for the turbines would be at the top and having the tower insulated could also be used to heat steam powered turbines at the bottom. Sounds like this idea would work, but would be watered down since they're basically using a partial vacuum do the work of drawing the air up and they're not using the heated air for anything besides making a temperature difference.
Ok let me get this straight. You want to build a tower that's 2600 ft tall (that's about 1/2 a mile up in the air) when the tallest skyscraper comes in at a whopping 2700 ft tall (by comparison the empire state building is 1250ft tall). You want to then put a few hundred tons of turbine equipment on top of this tower and probably several tons insulation (1/2 a mile ride up a tower and the air will surely cool down, not to mention the increases pressure of the air). Sounds like a great idea! The cost will probably be in the billions, maybe the greenhouse that grows plants in the middle of the desert might offset the costs right?
Might as well try to build the tower straight down in the ground 1/2 a mile and tap into geo thermal energy. That's actually not half as ridiculous as this idea.
The kind of radiation matters too though. Cosmic rays which pass through an abundance of matter have a really high energy potential while low powered xrays which scatter off skin have a lot lower potential, but may be more damaging to someone who has or had skin cancer because of the surface they ionize. Either way, why subject yourself to even more radiation when it's highly unnecessary?

I happen to agree with your first sarcastic sentence. The value of a life is more important than money.

roll a few sheets of tin foil on the top part of the device, slowly have it encircle itself near the top.
Your device is now protected from mind control rays and other nefarious parts of the EM spectrum.
