  5. "repairman" on Egyptian Repairman Outranks Google · · Score: 1

    You know, what with this being a supposed tech forum and all, couldn't the slashdot summary say "HVAC repairman", rather than just being like a typical american shithead who makes no distinction between various professions who actually make things work?

    Are they forgetting who runs OpenSSH? I'm picturing Redmond folk getting a new gastrointestinal egress bored, that would accommodate a Mac truck.

    but none of those names are the actual systematic name of the chemical, those all came out of some marketing wank's ass much, much later (paracetamol name coined about 70 years after stuff was first synthesized)

  18. Re: No mystery at all on America's Methane Mystery: NASA Set To Investigate Hotspot Over the 4 Corners · · Score: 1

    No. Wrong. Canaries were indeed used for methane detection, look it up. You are imagining the canary would have to pass out or die. False. Reality is the canary is normally a very songful bird, but will *stop singing* if concentration of certain gases (including methane) raises about a certain level, WELL BELOW any level that would make the bird show signs of harm.

    They are both nonsense names, the chemical is N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethanamide That word paracetamol, coined in the mid 50s, is just a sort of contraction of para + acetyl + amino + phenol

    You spew in complete ignorance. The heat and temperature of smoke alone can become sufficient to cause flashover fires when it is present in thick enough layer. Talking of boiling water temperatures is nonsense. The heat radiated in house fire can be tens of kilowatts per square meter, your stove is not a valid model.

    A burning house will transfer *much* more heat than a stove. There are thousands of kinds of steel, many quality steels do well in a house fire. Others become a problem like the 14 gauge lightweight cold formed elements used in many steel-framed houses. They fail and a house made with those will collapse even faster than all-wood house!

    And that's folks is why extrapolating from a little book learning to try to engineer reality without experiment or experience leads to failure. A typical house fire burns at over a thousand degrees F for about half an hour. Not only will your water be gone, so will your plastic or steel aluminum bucket.
