And just how much energy is melting, boiling, and ionizing a ton of metal going to take ?
That's what we have nuclear power for. So we can be environmentally responsible. Including locking up fissionables in concrete instead of letting them leak out of rocks.
Or just come up with a process to extract metals from garbage.
Industrial-sized gas spectrometer. Drop the garbage through an electric arc, change it to a plasma, pass it by a magnet. Lighter atoms hit the pipes furthest to the side, heavier elements those straight ahead. Empty the "plutonium" bin often.
The risk of cancer from DNA corruption scares the hell outta me.
Alteration of DNA is not as disastrous to the body as you might think. The decay of a C-14 atom in DNA happens about 50 times per second, changing a carbon atom to one of nitrogen. So there is DNA corruption in about 50 of your cells each second from that cause alone. How often that has disastrous consequences for each cell is somewhat relevant to the body.
You do step from spot to another. Just step on the quantum mat. Bend your knees because there is a seven foot fall as you arrive. If you're taller than seven feet, bend your knees a lot.
They made a model teleportation system. Why do models get special treatment? I can undestand their being able to deduct makeup as a business expense, but why do they get a teleportation system first?
Don't forget to broadcast the images live toward other stars, in case we're wrong about the radiation blast not hitting us. Maybe someone else will be able to watch what happened just before the telescope, camera, transmitter, power lines, and the power plant generating its electricity, melted.
His project could be GPLv2 and let others adopt GPLv3. But he can't accept donated GPLv3 code unless he keeps two copies, one for under each license, and keeps v3 code out of the v2 version.
Most people played COMBAT as if they were knights armed with only a lance, racing headlong at each other while shooting. Although often only one did the rushing. It was easy to kill most players by simply rushing at the maximum single thrust speed a few degrees away from their direction. They'd often sit still, taking potshots which were increasingly ineffective as the angle of approach quickly increased. Most people had trouble estimating the proper rotation for shots at closest approach.
Why did I mention the "maximum single thrust speed"? Because the engines had a limit to the maximum speed before they overheated. By going at that speed, they had time to cool down by the time of closest approach. That's when I'd fire the engines again at maximum, and come to a stop within arm's reach of the target. The lasers were highly effective at that range.
Unfortunately, few people figured out that actually flying the ships was a good idea.
Well, if you were stocking CD-ROMs of Google then maybe you'd see the need.
I'd like to Google when not online, but can't seem to find a CD-ROM of it.:-)

But they have something in common with you. Now they have also yelled "Hey, guys, watch this!"
And fortunately, we now have a way to extract oil from plastics so we can make a lot of blue recycling bins.
So you're saying he is a Frist poster.
Journalists criticize without reading. Without reading sources, without reading history...

As this star is already emitting nitrogen, if it vanishes from view then someone has built a bomb casing.
There's no Busines
Like Show Busines...
... and Google Street View cameras on every car ...

Apparently we're paying them to seriously change a lightbulb.
Now when I'm browsing the Intartubes in my car, you'll be able to hear me ROFL.
Although I try to not ROFL because it leads to roll-over-car.
Actually the use of submarines for intelligence was a well kept secret until you made ia a well known fact.
Well done.

I was aiming at +funny. /. Procedure.
So your comment is either Offtopic for Funny, or Insightful for
I was referring to the /. article. We don't RTFA here.
Shouldn't there be a link to Google Gears in the article?
Or a CD-ROM?
