Hey, they've had table top fusion devices that operate on charged particle acceleration to collide the nuclei. Don't cream over the "room-temperature" and "table top" buzzwords. This particular method is new, but the idea of room temperature fusion isn't. You see, the yield is still very low, it isn't anywhere close to breakeven needed to drive a power plant. And I'm especially entertained by the references to neutron "background." I think there is a little confusion here....neutron background had better be practically zero where people are working (neutrons are rare and aren't really part of the well-known background radiation that exists in the environment)...and you better get yields much greater than 400 times the background to get excited about it!
Imagine this as the next criminal suspect/enemy combatant immobilization technology. Just imagine them crawling into a house onto a sleeping suspect and wrapping him in a hard but air permeable cocoon. It's kind of creepy. Now imagine them crawling into a crowd at a public protest and cocooning a whole bunch of unruly non-conformists. Great crowd control.
Yeah, I'm surprised this article didn't have the infamous, "Your Rights Online," heading attached to it. I would expect it with any slashdot story relating to law enforcement and computers, even if the article is not directly about my civil rights on the Internet. In other words, I think this heading a bit overused. And I think, quite honestly (so don't call me a troll) that it betrays--on the part of the person posting the article--a little sympathy with and thinly veiled support of the "victims" referred to certain articles, even when these "victims" are clearly criminals in the legal sense (the actual merit of their behavior notwithstanding). Computer nerds sympathize with digital subversion, I guess. But it shouldn't leak into their journalism! But, the heading wasn't supplied with this article, so my opinion of the review process here on slashdot stays at a steady approval rating this day.....
Dammit, I'm going to get a redundant mod because I didn't search for "acid" in addition to "LSD!"
At least I did try not to repeat the same joke as was already posted. Go easy on me!:)
I hear if you drop LSD, your brain can do the same audio to video conversion much faster than even the Nvidia graphics card can. But that's just what I heard.
Not one for conspiracies but.... yeah, that "but" followed by ellipses is just a way for you to say that you suspect a conspiracy, without stepping up and actually admitting it. Or, because of a desire for the world to be interesting and mysterious, your mind is trying very hard to see a conspiracy in this story about a simple little noisy emission from wherever, when in fact you rationally know better.
You almost had some real flamebait here, but it isn't that funny 'cause your "clever" analogy breaks down given that terrestrial terrorism is real and inter-galactic terrorism isn't.
I can't believe the extent to which SCO tries to go, I'm glad they have reached a limit now. Why, though, all the agutication? This is going to allow information to flow sharply to the courts, but diffusely from. We're going to wind up with a very angular structure that will have to be tempered by a lot of review. The lawyers will be BIZZ-EE! Perhaps this isn't the most appropriate move since everyone involved is seriously concerned with channel-locking.
But breathing has certainly been proven less harmful than not breathing...so I think we would have to say that breathing has been demonstrated as the safest alternative.
You know why I wouldn't buy an HP. Shredded chakra-talk. Let me explain: Go drop an HP laptop from a roof (an older model, not worth much in the way of resell value, of course) and let it hit a hard surface at the moment it would naturally. Watch the debris shower. Note the fine structure of the shards. Then, come back and tell me there ain't going to be a talk/chakra issue, esp. when the dye-natured coloring fades.
the alleged "hardness" or "softness" of Aikido really depends on where you are studying it. I study with the Western Division of USAF and they tend not to "dance you around" and throw you as much as the Eastern Division does. They just get down to the arm twisting and elbow locking as soon as possible. In fact, it really hurts. The current head of Western Divsion (who studied under the founder) is a bit more of a hard ass than some, and to a good end.
This is of course a joke, because I am friends with the researchers and wanted to joke around with my romanian friend. And the research is NOT lacking.
The only reason this research makes the front page is as attempt to be politically correct by putting the (severly lacking) research of a GYPSY researcher in the limelight.
gravity AND chaos?!

Yours is the Gravity and Chaos club? Isn't that rather specific? I mean, do they actually have groupies for that sort of thing?
ever since the first small sized high speed electric motors with imbalanced rotors were picked up from the "rejects" pile at the manufacturing plant and turned into "personal massagers," we've had this kind of novel use of obsolete technology.
Wow...what I just wrote isn't funny...should I delete it...Oh, go on and "troll mod" me for this misfire. I don't care.
The reason batteries suck is because they are bulky and short-lived. Sooo, the answer is obviously to make them smaller and to make them hold more energy. These, I believe, are the keys to better batteries. It's my honest opinion, but I'm sure I'll be called a troll because I dared to speak what I believe. I would design and develop the next generation of batteries myself, but that's a fat chance considering how impossible it is for dynamic, forward-thinking and original minds to be accepted into the scientific ivory tower occupied unjustly by their lesser peers.
Actually, you can blame physics...eventually, the recycling cycle ends up with shit that is still radioactive and long lived. You see, there are plutonium and uranium isotopes in the waste that are BAD for power generation because they absorb neutrons without fissioning. And they are hard to get rid of....eventually, you get more of the bad isotopes than good and your "recycled" fuel is "spoiled."
You're dumb. Knowing nuclear physics is a far cry from developing nuclear weapons. No one coming out of a nuclear engineering program understands how to build a bomb. You need to know about shock physics and hydrodynamics...besides, the real obstacle is getting the nuclear material.
Not to knock nuclear power...but you are simply wrong. Before a fuel rod goes into the reactor, it isn't really all that radioactive. When it comes out, boy it sure is! You see, there are neutron reactions besides fission that convert Uranium to Plutonium and that convert non-radioactive elements into radioactive elements. Also, fission products can be radioactive. Plutonium and a few of the other reaction products are more toxic and more radioactive than the Uranium ever was.
Every heard of a skyscraper, genius? Things can be stacked, you know. And here you are thinking just in terms of area. Human society isn't just a 2D entity painted on a sphere. Try thinking in the third dimension. Geez.
And this has been a moronic, self-embarrassing rant. thank you.
...because the video is already in digital format. Used to, you'd have to convert the footage to digital before you edited in the gun in the "assailant's" hand. This just eliminates a tedious and time-consuming step for the cops.

A quick fix I found for my Dell overheating was a thin Therm-o-Pilly sheet bumper glued to the battery area.

A dual cache will NEVER fix the usual double cell problem that often comes up, right?
