Um... about forty years ago a salesman for Control Data Corp. said to me ( a CDC field engineer) and of my Mits Altair 8800 microcomputer "Frank, Do you really think your toy will ever replace this??" He was gesturing to the BIG CDC 6400 in a glass room behind us. Things do change folks. Naysayers be damned. It's just a matter of time. End of story.
If this works as advertides this should be stopped immediately and the research burned. The last thing we want to do is give Humanity a cheap, efficient, and minimally polluting power source.
Why would we want humanity to spread like a parasite out across the cosmos? We should scale back the population to 100-50 million and live with harmony with nature by using renewable resources. Cheap energy would allow the virus that is humanity to spread and infect more of the universe, one planet of parasites is enough.
Read misanthropy. Yea, lets kill-off half the people on the planet, dig holes to live in and commune with nature. Nah! Ad Astra!
I invite Andrea Rossi to take part in a Slashdot interview, if he's willing to answer readers' questions about his claims.
The guy doesn't answer to us. We're not experts; the vast majority of us aren't even educated layman on the topic of nuclear physics. How pretentious and pointless is it inviting him to waste time justifying his "claims" to us rather than suggesting he have an open Q&A with the staff at CERN or something?
No, ask him http://www.journal-of-nuclear-physics.com/ - he just may reply.
He's answered many questions (including some of my own).
He's very humble and willing to enter a discourse with you but not indulged to explain some of the E-Cat's processes.
Read a little bit more about before you discount it - http://coldfire.org./
He's not taking anyone's money until he delivers a working machine.
It appears to be a very simple device; something that can be readily made by almost anyone. The "Secret Sauce" is what is not being disclosed until he has full patents.
He has applied for patents on the system both world and US.
If you had something that was so revolutionary as this device - something that will change the balance of power on the globe and you knew that it could be quick to duplicate, save for one little trick, would you be so willing to give away everything?
Remember what happen to Tesla?

You know, the quoted article doesn't say anything about the parents dying. Matter of fact, I've searched the "Houston Chronicle" online to find more on the story only to come up blank. No information about a shooting/robbery involving a John family on March 15. Now maybe I've neglected something in the search keywords, or maybe there was no story to report. The Associated Press was the quoted source of the original news article from the ABC13.com report. Anybody out in Texas know more about the facts??
No.
The lift (launch propellant)is usualy black powder KNO3/S/C.
The burst charge may be BP coated on rise hulls or a flash mix for reports.
The stars may contain some amounts of toxic chemicals that are used for color generation.
So if I buy a goldstar 12" b/w tv at the local walmart and by some slight of hand, convert it into a 52" sony tivo, am i guilty of theft? Would walmart accuse me of theft because they sold me an underpriced tivo?
If a clever individual uncapps a modem that he lawfully paid for and gains more value for himself, where's the problem?
Kinda reminds me of all that flack over the Iopeners a while back where the company management didn't realize that it could do more than just be an internet appliance.
It's simply shortsightedness and fast-buck greed of the corporations coupled with their impotence of fixing the actual problem of crappy service/product.

You always know a dickwad by the number of times they use the word "fuck" in their attempt to convey something.

Laws were meant to be broken...

The Food Stamp program is administered by the USDA not the state.
I have 60 acres in Central California that I'd be happy to sell at on-half of the price that Apple paid for the one acre!
