Electricity must be consumed the instant it's generated
Now damnit, this just isn't true - or at least it shouldn't be. Sure, electricity is a different form of energy and must be dealt with in different ways, but there's no reason you can't store it. For instance, if the power plant down the road from you is generating enough power for the moment only to find that the load has dropped sufficiently then part of that energy could be shunted to a dynamo (generator/motor) where the excess energy could be absorbed and stored in the momentum of a flywheel. As generators are dropped to accomodate the reduced load the dynamo is switched in to dump it's stored energy.
Another example might be a brine substance - I can't remember specifics, but I used to work for a company who was mfg controls for a tractor-trailer heating device which stored engine heat in a substance (water and sodium from what i remember, but it was certainly more complex) so it could be realesed later on to heat the truck cab w/o the engine running. Any excess energy from a saturated grid could be dumped into a resistive load saturated in the brine who's heat could later be consumed to generate steam for turbines. (you might also remember the hand warmers that are boiled and later "snapped" into action to release the heat).
hell, if you just dumped excess energy into a resistive element submerged in a man-made lake to be wasted as atmospheric heat at least you haven't wasted a generator or two.
You see, i've hear this argument here lately and can't help but wonder if some of these ideas or something similar are already in use... Does anyone know? Does anyone have the money to implement?
If i read it right (good luck), the 007 team was stupid for revealing the habibi exploit and the habibi exploit is allowing the game to continue running when the disk is ejected. don't know if that's right but it'll give you something to chew on until righteousness comes along.
Can anyone recommend a mag that still covers *cool* cutting edge products, while providing more in-depth science about the subject?
Learn a new language and move out of the US.
During a recent trip trough Borders I passed the metaphysics, religion, political and historfiction sections, all of whose shelves were ready to buckle under the weight of pap. I was more than a little pissed when, upon arrival to the electronics/engineering/computer section, I found 80% of the shelves empty. Was it just that particular store? No, they're all like that.
For fucks sake man, what the hell is wrong with this place? Or is it that everything interesting and worthwhile falls under some fucking IP law with an NDA.
Well, ok, maybe not the homeless but how about the middle or upper middle class? As the article mentions, there will not be any great leaps and bounds in outer space until the price tag is cut. Now, you could say leave this to the millionaires - assuming that they would have the cash to accomplish such a feat - but in reality everyone overshoots their monetary capabilities. If I'm a member of the middle class and I take on the responsibility of space travel then my project will probably run into the millions. If I am a millionaire my space project will likely run into the billions. It's fairly simple for a middle class slob to find funding from a millionaire but it's a bit more unlikely that a millionaire could find a billionaire to fund his project due to the scarcity of billionaires.
Of course the real limitation is government - if I could get those fuckers out of my ass i'd'a been in upper orbit about three or four years ago, but good luck getting the supplies you need when fuck stains control the supplies.
To be honest, 5-10c is an over-quote for me too. With my plan (T-Mobile) i get 50 free and anything after is 5c a pop. i think it's $3 extra for 500 (pre-planned). Even knowing the details, it's still more than it should be.
the big question is: why the hell do SMSs cost 5-10 cents? for god sakes, i condense my conversation and take a fraction of the bandwith of a voice call so these rat-bastards can charge extra for it. it just ain't right unless you're talking about spam-deterrent, and spam-deterrent it ain't. it's just another case of companies charging money where they can, not where they ought to. i'll be more than happy to pay for the blades AND the razor but for fuck sakes charge the right price for 'em. and you may wonder why the economy is tanking - because, as i've outlined above, it's ficticious bullshit and wether or not people realize it, they're sick of it.
What makes you think that any form of media is really required? Truth is, you can't get away from the media... That car you bought has a radio built in... the assholes at work are listing to limbag and hannnity... the wife has accute tv addition, so on and so forth. oh, and i nearly forgot the net.
yep been about 3 years since i bought a cd. fuck the riaa for acting that way and fuck the consumers/artist for letting them. yeah, that pretty well sums it up, to hell with everyone.
What's so impossible about free? What's so impossible about technological advancement without a monetary system? Why is it so hard for people to understand that money is just as ficticious as government?
I can only guess that if you're born with your head in your ass that you'd think that's the way the world is and you'd carry on just so.
There is no FREEdom without free. I guess we'll all carry on just so.

And fuck you for it you godamn dumbasses.
but when the RIAA and government realizes that 1 billion+ people have chosen to use a monetary defeating system, a.k.a Kazza then they and their minions will go into hiding or change sides altogether. when this happens governments will fall, monies will lose all reason, economies will flourish without the constriction of red-tape and the people, being in control once again, will download entire drawing sets of consumer items, cars, 747s so that they may print them out on their 3d printers.
and when we get there someone better have that fucking broadband running or we're gonna be pissed.
{the message didn't start out this way but it's gotten to the point where i'm putting a disclimer on it for all you shrub dick suckers who can't handle a little truth... Go ahead and mod it as flamebait. Heavan forbid that there be any truth spread in this fucking shithole of an earth}
His willingness to believe an obvious lie is not stunning at all... Look at the regime he and millions of others have been living under.
A few weeks ago I might've been inclined to say that I was happy to see Saddam's regime end, but that would give credit to shrub and this motherfucking rumor mill fist up your ass godvernment. I'd just assume that those cocksuckers in washington keep their filthy fucking fingers out of other countries goods, not to mention my own. I'd have liked to seen Saddam's regime fall from the weight of it's own subjects as was done in amerika 200 and some odd years ago (you know, back when it was still America)... But then again, they'd probably do alright for about 200 years then turn into a bunch of fuck ups.
Oh, what the hell am i saying... amerika never was America. Nationality is just a heap of bullshit to hide the fact that there's a bunch of fucking assholes around who'll kill you to take your shit away. iran, iraq, russia, amerika - you'll go there only to find more assholes with the same mentality and maybe a few without.
A deserted island is the only answer. Unfortunately, all those are being scanned by commercial sattelites who's contents are being bought buy shady assed godvernments to make sure any of their herd isn't getting loose.
I'll reply to this becuse it reminds me of an article done by Cringley which y'all might remember... Roll your won DSL. According to him there should be some "dry pairs" that the telco's sould be able to lease as long as you ask right. But why should i tell you about that when you can read it here. you might also snoop around his site a little more as he seems to be just a little interested in net connections through (over?) thick and thin.
Hail the RIAA! Death to the Beast! Enjoy the show!

RIAA Plans Cyberwar Effort
·
· Score: -1, Flamebait
You people just don't understand what they're doing. The RIAA is merely trying to show the citizens of the world that the prevalent system of hierarchy (i.e. government and incorporation) is utter bullshit and can be bought and sold at a whim regardless of whether their intentions benefit said citizens or not. The highlight of their show is obvious injustice.
I'm convinced that Bush and Co. are operating under the same premise by using flamboyant military actions and much of the same obvious injustice mentioned above.
The consciousness of the beast (the id, a.k.a. figureheads) has realized the error in the ways of hierarchy and is making an active attempt to snuff itself. Being sentient and live it shuns the pain of a slow suicide by doping itself heavily with mass quantities of patriotism and religion.
But some members of the beast's unconsciousness (the lower functions a.k.a. you & I) are resilient to the dope and go on feeling the pain regardless. Take comfort in the fact that you who are immune the effects of patriotism, religion, consumerism, et al will be awake and part of the generation that watches civilization fall.

Does the curvature of the eye create depth perception? I've only thought of the concept briefly, but for some reason i get the idea that one-eyed folks get more depth perception than shadows/size(experience/memory) alone could provide, and of course that goes double for two eye folk.
Harley my ass... Strap it to the earth - remember Tesla and his earth harmonic studies? yeah, you were probably too young, but according to him (and he sits right next to god, ya know) the whole earth shimmies and shakes and, according to me, all you gotta do is create the machine to catch it. someone beat me to it... always seems to work that way. the only problem is that a beowoulf cluster of these would probably stop the rotation of the earth. that would certainly end any energy crisis, but i'm not sure if stopping the earths rotation is the best way to do that. bah, fuckit... we'll try it first and worry about consequences later.
Ahh yes, but if you prove that they're acting as a corporation and not a coalition then couldn't you have them treated, legally, as a corporation? Then sue them for lying about their "coalition" status on top of the monopoly suit. Then beat them with a lead pipe. Then piss on the corpse. But I digress...
Oh, and for all you lawyers out there, I don't even own a lead pipe.
