  1. Re:Arthur C. Clarke had a similar idea on Future Weapons of War in the Works · · Score: 0

    Indeed, a "true" railgun uses the armature as a projectile, which is vaporized by the launching current and accelerates up the 'barrel' as a conducting plasma, to emerge as a sci-fi type energy bolt.

  10. Re:Someone tell the UK... on Internet Revives Public Libraries · · Score: 1
    You miss my point. I have seen the quality of the books in my library drop over the years. The books that have been sold off have not been replaced by books of similar quality- take a look at multi-volume encyclopaedias for instance- as they are modernised, they are dumbed down. For space reasons, the less popular-ie less borrowed- books (and CDs) are also amongst the first to go...even if only a few months old..(bargains here!).

    As for Internet access, I coudn't think of a better place for community access than a library (in a previous life I planned and installed all the local library connections to the council network, and subsequent 'net access).

  12. Re:Someone tell the UK... on Internet Revives Public Libraries · · Score: 1

    UK public libraries have been selling off all of their books cheap for years. The only things left on the shelves are classics, weird new fiction and dummies guides- the odd decent book is usually out of date- perhaps nobody writes good stuff anymore...? They need internet Access just to get people in now.
