  1. Re:Cry me a river, terrorist on Cow Manure --> Electricity · · Score: 1

    Pig eats everything. So people raise pig tried to get leftover from restaurant or even garbage dump. The animal seem to enjoy while the stomach is not too empty. Pig is also susceptible to viral disease which occasionally wipe out hundreds of pigs in days.

    this is just a perl-script troll generator. Most /.er would just skim thru when they see the word 'in Russia....'.

  3. Re:Human waste on Cow Manure --> Electricity · · Score: 1

    The decomposition of manure requires bacteria action, that's the catch. If the guy who produce the waste took antibiotic pills, the bacteria action will be disrupted. The cold hard shit would sit for days without producing any gas.
    The cow manure, after dried up, were used as a fuel for cooking in developing country. But I have never heard of similar usage on human shit. So I guess the energy content of cow manure is higher, thus more suitable for the process.

  4. Re:CO2 is cleaner than methane on Cow Manure --> Electricity · · Score: 1
    cow manure smell is 20 times as bad a gas than the rest.

    Who cares about methane except you have to service a well with zero air flow. The moment you climb into the well and felt 'only my god, i can't breath' that is most likely to be CO2 build up. Our respiratory system is quite alert to the elevated CO2 level. But when you climb into the well and felt 'geez, i mmmm... kind....... of.... sleeeeepy today.......' then next morning, someone else would yell down the well 'jesus christ, a body in the welll..'

  5. Re:I am seeing a lot of this on Salvaging Defective DRAM · · Score: 1

    if some part of it is bad, you can quick identify the problem and replace it. The is a 128M ram in one of our machines that was running perfectly most of the time, but the machine hung up randomly. It did not happen too often, sometimes once a week, sometimes several times in the afternoon. The problem usually disappear right after reboot. First window 98 was suspected, then other hardwares were replaced. The symptom finally disappear after the RAM was replaced.

    In terms of software, China isn't on the map yet. Well its not the people, its just the system really sucks. Not until those technical guys got more respect from the society.

  9. Re:Wrong purpose on Dawn of the Airborne Laser · · Score: 1

    There is always the problem of repeat firing. The laser get quite hot after a strike. So there is a time window that makes the 747 vulnerable.

  10. Re:Size.. on Dawn of the Airborne Laser · · Score: 1

    That also assumes the guy who has the technology to launch the ICBM cannot spot a 747 within 50 miles range, and there is no surface to air missile aiming at the 747.

    I 'm Chinese, thank you.
    I wish some babelfish translation can review the content among those folks in main China commented. Basically some people thought the chief engineering team is burning money to imitate a yesterday technology with zero improvement. Others think this is a zero-breakthrough, bright future lies ahead, well-done folks blah blah blah..
    I think commercial wise the cpu can hardly take off at the present state. There are ARM, MIPs ... From academic standpoint, much work and investment must be done. There is no overnight success.

  16. Re:why not construct this on The Space Elevator · · Score: 1

    The carbon nanotube is known to be a good conductor of electricity. Stretch out thousands of miles into the ionsphere and beyond makes a nasty antenna. If the charge build up is high at one end of the ribbon, the current through the long ribbon can evaporize it and turn it into CO2. It does not take even a thunder to do the job.
