I don't mean to be dumb, but could you post where I could look at and purchase 40% efficient or greater panels, at that level, I can do my house, never pay a bill again and have skylights.
A huge as your volcano is, the most important part is the activity, it is happy burping along. the point of this is that it's a known risk.
tapping into Yellowstone, well that's a new risk, I would rather that they play "let's poke some holes" on Hawaii or similar prior to punching a hole in Yellowstone's cap. i wonder if it fractures like a balloon or a sledge hammer on concrete.
and when you say it removes heat... yep it does, makes the cap more solid and in the long term pressure build up even more.
so what we really want if the risk is acceptable is a way to poke a hole, capture the heat after it vents to the surface, and take the pressure level down a bit, and ( wishful thinking ) pipe the magma to the coast, building a few islands along the way, some black sand beaches with some amazing waves.
the question if 30 years a long time.... well for me, not really, I've gotten to see the jersey swamps become somewhat cleaner, the stripe bass population recover, and have even enjoyed planting a tree that is now about 50 ft tall.
play sim city a few times, the perspective of a city growing is rather good in comparison to my memory.
as for the coal plant. in 10 years, they get the demo permits finalized, after that it's another 10 years to remove, then they cover the earth with some dirt, then they plant a park. the trees have a slightly higher level contamination than normal, but nothing that would stand out.
Given that you are correct, but one must realize that we are looking long term, and there might be other contaminants. the goal would be to place all off the problems into a central location with know levels of risk. this way if we were able to used the contaminated product as a fuel, the source of it is local...
As silly as your idea sounds, it's somewhat of a right idea. find a way to make the fluid more solid and containable. store it deep somewhere, and in 200 to 1000 years it's less of a hassle.
I would think that mixing it with concrete and use the bricks to make another reactor building, keeping the toxins all within a defined area of risk.
there is a problem... if you look at the notes that are published, every now and then letters match up in the columns or offsets
first thing I saw was that, a 2 or 3 unit offset
then I started thinking like a kid, so what frame of mind would these patterns or phrases be. born in 1958ish add 9 years ( when he first started this code ( i think ) ) 1967
well, you got I dream of genie, the monkeys, the odd couple, brady bunch, and other shows
I'm guessing that some of the phrases might be reduced to abbreviations
so that even in ncbe is a stop word, it might have a specific connotation to some tv-show or phrase while growing up, and that would give us another clue to work with.
I keep on thinking that those 71,74, 75 are related to auto
The issue is simple, Microsoft is moving like a tanker at sea, it takes a while for the boat to turn, it's just got the rudder turning recently ( Bing search engine ).
History tells us that they will over time, join the market and win it entirely or take only 1/2 or screw it up completely.
so the only way to really fight MS, is to have many small companies that are great in there respective fields merge, and take consistent bites out of MS at all levels.
I am no way near as smart as a volcanist ( sp?) but I would think that the concept would work as a power defuser ( as you mentioned ) but yet over time, you would create a champagne cork, it might pop when the earth choose to burp and there is not a flexible surface ( right now it's flexible but if you take the energy out of it, you would reduce it's flexibility.)
Where I find your observation is... time frame reference.
In the 70's and 80's, the lack of access to information ( even in public libraries ) was rather large. Therefor, people found this book useful ( even if they never used it ). The legacy is that people above the age of 40 speak to youth about how good it was to have something to fight the establishment.
Given, you can find just about everything now on the internet, including the armed forces manuals, but back in the day, this was as near as the general public could get.
This one I know was still used up to 1995 in Peru, since I would buy wool sweaters and import them to New York... on one occasion I happen to get to the warehouse up in the high-Andes, and I saw a supervisors looking at multi-colored knotted string, thought maybe it was a new product to sell or something, the guys all laughed, it was the inventory count with whom deliver it AND whom/what village made it.
Talk about compressed data LOL
Is it still used ? I have no clue but I can not think of why it would not. explore the back country of Peru - Bolivia and you most likely will find it being used in some manner or another.
I have to always mention 'cow bells' when it involves myself camping.
When I was taught to hike in any bear country, the rule was 'hang a cow bell' off your pack
the thinking is ( and I still think this is valid east of the Mississippi ), the more noise you make, the easier for the bears to move far away from you, or to hear a bear snap a twig wondering what is that noise.
to this day, I have yet to encounter a bear when I had a bell on, but when i did not, they are everywhere.
When without a bell, in bear country, bearmace is the only safe option. ( also can stop a bike thief quickly )
No, not a drop, it did not melt that fast, and it just would run into the grass. I think most of it evaporated during the next day while the sun was out.
it was just a helper to a problem, I still had to shovel if I get 5 or 6 inches of snow or I forgot to turn on the switch. but turning it on if I thought there was a storm coming and then going to work and coming back to a clean driveway, that's a pleasure.
with your statement >>So I have to fork over a few bucks to TomTom so that their GPS won't kill me? Thanks TomTom! You can GoGo FuckFuck YourselfYourself.
you should really reconsider it. Here is a company that made a point of trying to be helpful, while others are not so responsive... something like this might make sense to me when making a purchase... a company that updates it's data... now I don't know anything about the cost of the updates but if I am heading to the desert, I might just take a tomtom as a back up tool.
As a kid back in the 70's, we would go camping for 1 to 3 weeks. load about 40 Lbs. into a pack, park, and then hike for about 3 days, using a compass and the maps we had. Every time I got lost, I had to hike up the mountain ( or very large hill ) get an idea of where I was, use the compass, then safely figure out how to get to the camp site. Farthest we camped from known parking spot was about 26 miles
got lost for 2 days once, but when I made it back, my dad was rather proud of me ( he said he was giving me 3 days before he would head out to find a ranger ). my brother was more panicked than anything else.
training... well let's see, compass usage, how to take a bearing, finding fresh water, how to shoot, how to fish, how to make a fire ( not easy when it's down-pouring ) all the stuff that you need to do basic camping. ( did I mention the proper use of cow bells )
planning... unless the camping tricks have changed, you try to plan being near water every 4 hours more or less ( most springs are marked on the maps we had ) to refill, and if I recall correctly, it's a gallon of water for every 4 hours of walking in hilly or hot areas. our packs had mostly water and dried evil food ( catching fresh trout, bluegills, bass and pike was tasty meal, cook them in mud cakes )
tools... besides the above, each of us had an axe, a few knives, some plastic tarp, tons of cord, sleeping bag and some bug repellent.
When I lived in NJ, I install a solar water heating system on the roof of the home, I had it build during the summer when I was rebuilding my home, slight a bit OVER-SIZED and it worked well. One trick that I added to the system was simple, I had an engineer figure out how to plumb the stairs, sidewalk, driveway and used the solar heated water to warm things a bit.
Well it worked rather well, all I had to do was to flick a switch in the morning, the sidewalk would get a slightly warmer, when the snow fell it would melt, my only cost was the pumping. add the sun the next day and it was better. What I loved about it was that even if I did have to shovel, the next day it would be perfect and dry. What I hated was all those people always stomping down to clean there boots on my dry patch.
I would like to mention, that the solar water heater paid off over a very long period of time, due to my build size. but I think that it also saved my back and reduced the liability of slips and falls.
For my next home I want solar sterling engine mounted on the roof ( I now live in Florida, where the cost of fuels seems very high ), that will reduce my cost.
Yes, that's true. look at container ships, they are huge ( 10,000 TEU + ) but I can recall when 3500 TEU's were huge. TEU = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teu
You are thinking like most people, but not like futurist. let's use 1 examples, the guy that keeps on designing those flying cars. Everything I have read about him has come at a cost of spending money to design a specific part, each step has produced an advantage to the general population ( I am also willing to bet that certain parts of the 'segway transport' gyroscope system is in the Wii or an evolution leading to the Wii ). Also we can look at the Dyson vacuum cleaners, expensive tools to get a decent job done. But again very expensive.
then let's look at the Manhattan project, lots of money spent, with a dramatic result, and over time, the research that came from it also lead to better things ( I think HEPA filters were first thought of and designed for the project )
so with that said, let's spend money on some wild goals, most wont work, but some might.
Wait Wait Wait.... the service for USD 2.00 is the AI service, you can read it on the web site. they charge for a priority service ( which I am inferring ) as the human side...
please compare the cost of living between the Asian culture of India, Bangladesh, Goa to the USA. a daily maid + cook + driver + rent in a major city ( in a great apartment ) does not exceed 1500 per month ( 120 maid, 100 cook, 275 driver, the rest is rent )

First, that's to another poster out there that told me the destination site.
Solution to those that run firewalls or ISP's
I happen to use open dns for all the companies and friends I help out needs
I just logged in and blocked the web site and the IP address.
saves me future problems and prevents idiot's from causing long term harm.
thanks everyone.

I guess it's a big Sushi party till we run out.
the bible says a lot of things, but does that make it correct?
I'm going to bet with science on this and say at lease 20 mating pairs
in a non-hostile environment ( omni magazine around 1992ish i think )
I don't recall exactly, but did not Isaac Asimov talk about heat sinks very near volcanoes as a power source for a planet in the foundation series ?
I am sure that Aurthur C. Clarke must have covered this topic at one point or another
I am no way near as smart as a volcanist ( sp?) but I would think that the concept would work as a power defuser ( as you mentioned ) but yet over time, you would create a champagne cork, it might pop when the earth choose to burp and there is not a flexible surface ( right now it's flexible but if you take the energy out of it, you would reduce it's flexibility.)
