  1. Re:NO NO NO on Germany Produces Record-Breaking 5.1 Terawatt Hours of Solar Energy In One Month · · Score: 3, Informative

    No it is called "Windgas" or "Power-to-gas" where you just produce hydrogen or even methan with renewable energy (mildly efficient: 50-67% power -> gas -> power) and inject it into the gas network. There already working prototypes (granted I think they are all sub MW stations). But they improved from 25kW to 500kW within 3 years (2009 - 2012). Nice sideeffect is that in theory renewable energy could in the long run power our gas-cars and gas-heating and highly efficient gas-power stations.

  2. Re:Sad ... on Researchers Pull Out of Talks With Publishers On Text-Mining · · Score: 2

    But there is a simple solution. At my Institute (in Germany), we simply do not publish at journals and conference where we have to give publishers the exclusive rights to the paper. Either they accept that we do remove that clause from the forms we have to sign, or we do not publish with them. It is fairly simple. Even Springer seems to go along most of the time.

  3. Re:Newly released footage? on Footage Reveals Drone Aircraft Nearly Downed Passenger Plane in 2004 · · Score: 1

    It caught public attention now, is what they meant to say.

  4. Re:Stop with the messenger shooting! on Criminal Complaint Filed Against Facebook After Girl's Death · · Score: 1

    But it is more like the messenger makes a profit by letting people stab you.

  5. Re:Yuck on Physicists Attempting To Test 'Time Crystals' · · Score: 1

    A bunch of physicists debating the merrits of a certain technical detail of their lastest super computer will be similarily insightful as the comments here ...

  6. Re:Not just the British, German mood too! on Icelandic Pirate Party Wins 3 seats In Parliament · · Score: 2

    I think most of the people pro-EU will not defend it on FAZ because they are also unhappy with it. E.g. would like it to be more democratic.

  7. Re:None on Ask Slashdot: What Magazines Do You Still Read? · · Score: 1

    Maybe. But I really hate the paper they print on. It always seems like I can read the front and back of it at the same time ...
