    Why thank you. I appreciate the compliment. ;-)

    I had an 'Internets Tubes' moment yesterday and, still blinded by Sony Rootkit Outrage, shot from the hip...

  8. Indirect solution on Measuring the Energy You Use? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Add up the electrical bills, heating bill, gasoline and battery receipts. You then need a formula to convert monetary unit to energy. This formula should take into account the proportion of each energy form you consume. I think a typical formula will be something around 45% electric, 45% oil/gas and the rest in batteries.

    Gasoline produces 32 megajoule/litre, 1 kWh is equivalent to 3.6 megajoule so 1 litre of gas ~= 10kWh. 1 kwH of electricity ranges from 5c to 25c depending where you are.

    For Canada:
    1 MJ of oil energy ~ $0.04
    1 MJ of electric energy ~ $0.03

    How much is a MJ of of electric or oil energy where you live?

  11. "perfect" ? on New "PRAM" 30 Times Faster Than Flash · · Score: 1
    With all our luck, it's probably going to turn out to be destructive to the ozone layer or cause cancer in lab rats. Whenever someone discovers something amazingly useful, it always turns out to have negative side effects. I believe that's called the Law of Unintended Consequences.

    Sorry to rain on the parade.

    That's already how Pluto is spelled in French. I guess we could refer to small-p plutons for Pluto, Charon and Kuyper objects. And of course 'Pluton', being the eponymous pluton.
