I tried a variation of that, called the "nitric acid trap" at my last job. And I do mean, my -last- job. Sigh. When will I learn. Some people have no sense of humor.
Yes! My MSCE (Motorcar Service and Cleaning Engineering) degree from Carsoft now lets me earn high wages using such valuable skills as Ashtray Repair, Cache Cleaning, Rug Defragmentation, and of course Gasoline Network Management.
Part of what is happening is that as the energy stored in the magnet in the form of ordered and aligned domains is transferred out to the load, the magnetic domains become disordered. Eventually all the domain orientation energy is lost as the iron becomes randomized. So actually, we aren't getting something for nothing, we are using the energy originally stored in the magnet when it was magnetized. But that is not infinite. I suspect the Minato motoro has a hidden flaw, which is that sooner or later its magnets have to be replaced after they demagnetize. That amounts to having to replace batteries, but what consumer wants to have to have a product like a fan serviced that often?
No, furniture like couches contains coil springs for support. So do beds and chairs. That's metal, and it could easily heat up and make the organics burn if it gets induced energy. I could put a bed in a big enough microwave oven and make it catch on fire.
I experimented with the 'brown note' off hours while working at the Leslie Speakers division of CBS Musical Instruments in the 60s, where I had access to high powered sub base speakers and good amps. You cannot achieve the required acoustic energy levels (acoustic watts, not electrical watts) with home audio speakers. The resonant frequency is between 32 and 37 Hz, and it is real. The thriller play story, as far as I know, is an apocryphal tale, though.
It's trivially simple, if you've taken Math 18000 at Star Fleet Academy. Basically, Atiyah and Singer demonstrated, back in the 21st century, what we now know was the basis for a rigorous proof that Britney Spears' brain surface area is mappable to that of the common ground squirrel. This, in turn, led to the development of the infinite probability drive which we use daily.
Well, I *did* used to sit on my Microsoft force-feedback joystick. But one day there was an unfortunate accident and now I get testicular unemployment compensation.
Well, some percentage of energy in the PC is lost not as heat but as direct radiation of RF into space when it is converted into high frequency signals. For example, imagine a 50KW radio station - that transmitting energy doesn't go off as heat, a lot goes out the antenna.
The did not change my underlying bank account number, they changed the number on the card, which is considered an account in itself. That account is linked to my underlying bank account but its contents can fluctuate independently during a 24-hour period until they do a full balance. Apparently they actually maintain separate accounts for bookkeeping purposes. So a transaction to or from the card account is NOT the same as to or from my underlying bank account, and money is not always added or debited to the underlying account immediately. I used to think that everything happens by accessing a database in real time, but apparently not for ATMs! I've seen a deposit at a teller, with a confirming printout, not propagate to the ATM until the next day. Yet it was entered in real time at their terminal.
The same thing happened to me on a Bank of America ATM. It crashed and rebooted, refused to return my card. The bank told me they had to issue a new ATM card and account number on the card. I ended up having to change every single damned service where I had auto debiting of fees to that number, including PayPal.
The article is also not accurate. The author says that the Intel Science Talent Search is 62 years old. That would mean Intel existed in 1942.
The reality is that the Westinghouse Science Talent Search existed for decades, then Intel took over sponsorship much later. So much for fact checking by journalists and accuracy in description.
I feel for you, brother! When I was in kindergarden, I invented and patented the magneto-ionic shaving rotisserie. Not only do you get closer shaves, your chicken is moist and tender. But that's not all. In grade school I experimented with human pheromone technology, but I had to move on to other research after my English teacher got pregnant. In high school, I invented a graphic user interface and windowing system for PCs, though my research notes mysteriously disappeared. My good pal Bill Gates helped me search for them but then had to go off to college at Harvard. Out of high school, I decided to take a year off before moving on to university. In my first job, at Tasty Freeze, I invented the banana split. I am now fabulously wealthy and do not need Science Talent Searches. But I have advice for all you youngers and future winners reading Slashdot. And that advice is: Get a Life.
Ah, well, it's all a matter of proportion. You see, if the Sun were the size of a basketball, Uranus would be 50 feet away. Which would make wiping quite difficult.
Well, of course. I was illustrating a general process, pointing the guy in a direction, not giving him bolt sizes. The point was, sometimes following the easy path (expensive panels, expensive batteries) is less effective than creatively exploring. Gee, I'm glad I left out my intended suggestions, which was Nubian slaves on meth with palm fronds...
One solution is to not use electricity. Build a solar-powered steam engine and use it to run a Carnot cycle in reverse (heat pump) during the day. All mechanical, no electricity. Cheaper than solar cells plus batteries plus charger/inverter.
Couple of years ago an unlicensed, uninsured driver who was an illegal alien totalled my parked car. The police came immediately but actually let the guy go; they did not arrest him but merely ticketed him. Worse, my insurance company refused to pay and told me I had to sue the owner of the car and collect from him. It took a lawyer to wade through this mess. I got the impression this whole system is rotten and broken. Large companies really don't care.
It's not completely quiet. When the radioactive flesh-eating zombies come shambling out of the woods to eat tourist brains, believe me, it gets noisy for a few moments.

Well, after you make soup with it, it's pretty clean then.
Yes. Ask any marketing person, or attend a trade show.
I read the headline as "They'll focus 192 amplified lawyers on a pellet of frozen hydrogen." Now THAT would cause intense heat.

1. build cell phones with nipple clamps.
2. ?????
3. Profit!!!!!!

I do all my computing in the toilet to save time. When I flush a buffer, I REALLY flush a buffer.

yes, but why spend all that money when whiskey is cheap and Catholic school girls so plentiful?

The solution is to screen for astronauts who like the smell of flatus. NASA could start with SCO employees.
