  2. Re:Better than nothing on Hybrid Cars Don't Live Up to Mileage Claims · · Score: 1

    For fuel look to CWT's TDP (Changing World Technologies Thermal De-Polymerization Process,) turns anything made from carbon, read shit, offal, plastic, or rubber into gas, diesel, fertilizer and distilled water at 85% efficiency. Far better than E85 and the factory doesn't piss off the neighbors.

    Burn that in a badly tuned Trans Am and its still very good. No fossilized hydrocarbons, no net increas in carbon in the atmosphere.

    The real reason a hybrid can be very very low emission is due to the fact that you can run it at one RPM, the best one for power/emission. Also due to the DC motor you can get 100% of you torque at 0 RPM. Use a gas turbine, or a Moller Freedom Motor and it's even better. You can use a regular motor in a hybrid, you can use anything you want. You could use a god damn army of hamsters.

    You can't claim that hybrid gas electric isn't mature or small, ever seen a diesel locomotive? Seems like a mature use of technology, also you might note that a 16 Liter engine is so much larger and more manly than you piss ant Trans Am that's its funny. Locomotives use diesel to drive an AC generator that runs an AC/DC inverter and then DC motors. They use that system for the low-end torque. If its good enough for a locomotive its good enough for your car buddy.

    Also you battery comment is bullshit. They use lead acid batteries, which are recyclable, or NiMH, which are recyclable. NiCads suck and shouldn't be used.

    Hydrogen sucks. Yes you are right.

    The bunny shaving game was directed at the fact that he makes his games open to all to make it there own. I am not in a bad mood, I look forward to the game. I just look foward to a DOOMIII Engine version of Natural-Selection more.

    Look at this game it's a horror version of Halflife. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE GAME. This is the last engine that they are making, Caramack says that it will do anything he ever wanted and so he's done. All he wants is to create a structure for you to hang your own game on. Its exactly like Lukas and the "new" StarWars movies no story, only a paradigm shit for the industry.

    So go on, go make that bunny shaving game you always wanted, make it for all of us.

    All useable power except nuclear comes from the sun, nuclear comes from long dead exploded suns. We can ignore the Casandra effect or ZPE.

    No I'm saying that if everyone on the planet took 30 mg./kg. of DMT while having their "god module" stimulated it would result in the vast majority of people would become hyper-religious to the point where society would be un-recognizable.

    DMT's effects last about 7 minutes so the effects of the drug would be gone instantly from a neuropsych perspective. The qualitative value of the experience in purely psychological terms would mean that everyone on the planet KNEW that reality was in fact highly subjective. We might see a lot more Buddhists.

    If the reports of the "god module" stimulation are true, see Wired, then everyone would also have an intense personal relationship with what ever god they met on the way. The growth of wacky sects would be off the map.

    I'm really saying it would be a hard reboot of the collective contiguousness.

    THIS WOULD NOT BE SEDATION. In fact this would be the opposite of sedation. I have read 2nd hand reports that DMT may be the only drug that is correlated with the increased seratonin receptors with use. Where every other drug burns out the receptors DMT seems to stimulate them.

    The "god module" part is thrown in to try and tune the experience. If everyone just took a grip of DMT then 1/3 would experience being anal probed by the grays, 1/3 would see the machine elves, and 1/3 would see god/gaia/shiva etc. By fixing the focus of the event and then using the drug to expand it to the level that only DMT seems to be able to achieve we'd keep the results nice and tight.

    You also have to consider that when groups of people take DMT together they tend to at least believe that it gave them some level of telepathy. Not that I believe this in terms of "telepathy" but if everything is turned up to 11 people just might be able to read each others body lang, pheromones, and tone so well that they can match brain states, etc. bla bla bla. It is a reported effect and we shouldn't discount it as it relates to the afore mentioned plan. If everyone gets to "full cartoon land," then is focused on "god" by an external force, and experiences it at the same time and in the same head space I'm betting people wouldn't give a shit about industrial production, or miles per gallon for money for that matter for a long fucking time. Granted we should probably store up a lot of food and water before we try it but hey, it'll be fun I promise.

  21. Re:Sometimes I doubt... on Diamond Age Approaching? · · Score: 1

    You are right but in every one of those cases the cost was a limiting factor. Although a high school kid can and has built a breeder reactor, it's still VERY hard to produce atomic weapons. We are talking the output of major industrial powers. So what happens when the cost of making C4 drops to basically zero, imagine the bang that a 747 FILLED WITH C4 would make? Now imagine making a chemical explosive that is 99% more efficient. There goes the neighborhood, the city, the county, maybe even the region.

    With regard to immunity you are vastly underestimating the speed at which this stuff is going to kill you if it goes bad. If you speed up the rate of what is attacking you at Moore's Law and you are still on mother nature's time you no less fucked then a tree Vs a CAT D9. Mice aren't developing defenses against nonmaterials in cancer tests; they are just dying.

    The rat studies on nano materials (e.g. nannotubes & buckyballs) show them to be far more carcinogenic then asbestos, so an outer defense would be a good idea. I'd say plan on buying stock in 3M because I'm sure the purple respirators are going to be popular.

    Like any manufacturing process the byproducts and waste may be far more of a threat than the end product. Instead of battles between two armies it may just be the battle between you bodies ability to eliminate waste and the surface area of you cells being used up by lipofuscin. Funny the same model can be generalized to the planet! Imagine that. Back to Taoism and the concentric model of the universe.

    Oh wait doesn't this timeline match the "singularity?" The great mountian of time is descending on us... all hail the one call Akira! (cut to picture of a burning car sliding down the surface of a colapsing bridge and taking my ass out.)

    Here is the solution. A Cultural Revolution, kill all the people with any kind of education, burn all the art, and destroy anything of value. Oh wait the Chinese tried that and now they are just Americans who don't know how to put their garbage in anything but their rivers. Well shit, what to do... I know! We'll inject 30 mg./kg of DMT into the whole human race while having or "god modules" stimulated by Transcranial magnetic induction! Yeah that'll do it. Wheeew I was worried there for a second.
