If I build a ware house and crime in the area increases, I have to buy better physical security, isn't that loss directly atributable to an increase in physical crime?
no need for name calling, here. Maxwells equation will show that you do generate some energy, after all this how metal detectors and those street sensors work. What seems to have been forgotten is how little electricity it manages to produce. The amount is detectable, but barely useful (in a non detection sense). However if you could create a large enough coil to prodce a noticable current the drag effects on the cars would begin to be noticable whne driving (a flat section would be like driving up hill) if this wasn't cost probitive it could make for safer downhill grades. Odds are a coil of this magntude would be very expensive. This machine would be cheap in comparison.
Oral toxicity (The Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances, 1986):
Human; TDLo: 12,357 mg/kg/23 D-C from http://www.saltinstitute.org/15.html see also http://ptcl.chem.ox.ac.uk/MSDS/SO/sodium_chloride. html True to achieve this for a 75 kg man wold need almost a kg of salt (2.6 lbs) but if someone were to injest this much it would kill most people, although the second source puts the TDlo at 1000mg/kg that would put it at just about a lb and a half or three mcdonalds large fries. I imagine it would take less if it were directly injected, or if loaded into a shotgun...

Hard Drive Window

· Score: 2, Insightful
This seems cool and all, but I can't imagine that there would be much to see. First the discs, in any of the hard drives I have cracked open and destroyed, never had any markings on them that might look cool when they spin. and second the only part you might be able to tell if it was moving is the read head this would be cool to watch, but the odds of screwing up your hard drive seem far too high to justify watching a read head move back and forth. but I have never seen the need to add neon lights and clear view windows to my case either.
Pissing off the employee is making a change. Each time some peon, even if he is in India or Arkansas, quits due to abuse he must be replaced. Low level low paying jobs require training, and training costs money. I felt this way about telemarketers, collection agency folks, those guys who serve notices, they all work for shitheads, and therefore deserve all the hell I can dish out. Recently it was decided that at work we would call some new 800 number to solve our difficult issues, when I found that the lady in east Texas, was of no use and didn't have access to the information. I yelled at her, it was her departments job to fix these issues and she didn't have the basic information I needed. I hope she hates her job because of people like me and quits.
>>I was considering $699 in pennies, but then I thought about the shipping costs...
Well you could start some corispondance with them perhaps they will send you a business reply envelope that you could put 69,900 pennies in. You know kind of like the fun stuff you can stuff in credit card offer envelopes. like tuna....
It's good to be polite, because the frustrated, struggling and overstressed telemarketer may happen to "forget" to place someone on their DNC list if they're an asshole. I did collections for a while until better work appeared, and saw that happen on more than one occasion.
If they fail to put you on thier do not call list there are specific penalties that can be applied to the company so be sure to record the name of the company in a ledger of each of the greasy little motherfuckers who call you.

Warm-blooded Fish?
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
As a long time deep sea fisherman I thought there were a bunch of fish who lived with an elivated core temperature. Many of the red meat fast swimming open ocean fish (such as tuna, dorado, baracuda, swordfish) are decidely warm when you pull them in and have a radicaly different muscle structure than what you see with slow moving cold fish. Also the tend to have many fewer visable internal parasites, which I always associated with having a much different metablism.
In many states, Forget the names but there are more than 20, California (where I live) is one of them anyone can do a ballot innititive, In fact the election on Nov 8th will just be innititives. The problem has become that only fairly powerful and rich folks can actualy gather enough signatures to get the bill, and then it turns into an advertizing spend-a-thon to pass or kill the bill. Then for bonus points sometimes the state won't enforce these laws, notibly the mess with medical marijuana, and my favorite, prop 187 the law that made it illegal to spend state money on illegal aliens.

Strange as it may seem many artists don't own the copyright to their own music. In some cases they don't even own their own name (remember the prince issue? that was about contract rights far more than his artistic strangness). It will be fun to see a major label suing one of its stable members for violating the labels copyright and DRM, on music the stablemember created.
Fraud is already illegal, but the cops do nothing at any level. It is said that they have bigger fish to fry like terrorism, speeding and adult porn. The solution seems to make it profitable for the victims to enforce the law and let legal vigilantes clean up the net. This seems like a reasonable solution.
I have wondered if this seasons lack of good action movies is partialy Lucas's fault. With the long awaited and less disapointing SW epIII this summer, I wonder how many studios decided that they didn't want to be the movies that came in a distant second to what many felt was going to be an out of control blockbuster (right or wrong).
