That's just for the closed-system ones. I consider the intestinal tract to be a pump. Maybe more unpleasant, sure, but just as important. If you don't think it's important, I've got these corks you can try out for a few days...
Not true. The heart has one trick up its sleeve that engineering can't even come close to. It had to grow itself, in the right place, from a single cell, while containing the code for the whole system.
Good luck with that.

Real estate, the only field where it's still acceptable to blame the victim. I mean they were asking for it, just look at how they painted that house...
I think you really, REALLY need to check the amount of air this thing will move. If it really were like a leafblower, wouldn't the person holding the leafblower hover in the air?
You have no idea what you're talking about. None.
"City ordinances are quick and dirty ways to deal with new technology and that's what will happen."
LOL yeah like the Segway, right?
Come back and check with reality in a few years, let me know how many flying bikes you see out there, OK?
Just for fun, take a look at the average bike rack supplied by cities... How many hover bikes can you lock on there?
But you'll never see these things enter mass production. Know why? It's not energy density of batteries, it's not insurance or liability or rain or piloting skills.
It's shrapnel. These things will blow crap in every direction. Every pebble or bottle cap on the driveway or street will risk hurting someone, or worse, damaging someone's precious property. A nice demo, nothing more.
I've never had these bad experiences with VHS that people seem to have had. Not a single tape has ever jammed for me, and when HQ circuits and then S-VHS showed up, you could copy a DVD on there and not notice the difference. What kind of VCRs were people buying, and how long did they leave them submerged in salt water for them to perform so poorly?
Hello, nuclear fusion in stars actually has a very LOW power density. It's just that stars are very large. This is why getting fusion to produce power on Earth is so damn difficult, we are not trying to RECREATE the conditions inside a star, we need to SURPASS those conditions.
Well, it depends what you mean by robot. I'm getting started on quadcopters soon. Go to Hobbyking.com. You can probably find tons of parts suitable for robots as well.
on every public official. As a Montrealer, I am FED UP of this city's corruption! Never mind that it's a tiny, expensive, boring, conservative, dirty, poorly maintained and grey city, if I have to report every damn penny to two levels of government and have credit agencies know about every little thing I buy...
I want to see every square inch of "public" office, I want to read every character of every email and hear every phone conversation.
What's wrong with that? If I call a private company's phone line I can be recorded for "training purposes", why can't I listen to the people I *PAY* with my egregious taxes? I pay them to party with that money apparently.
I'm fed up of this city and having the pigs film every interaction is just more reason to leave this joke of a city.
"But it was nice when we visited!"
This is usually said by people who can LEAVE this third-world joke.

Yes, they should all be Pozidriv.
Uh, what?
At least the kind of jumbled-up ad hoc reactors Americans like to build. What's going on with space-based solar power?
So the solution is to charge the homeowner 5000$ on the basis that HE is responsible for something that was buried on the property 400 years ago?

OK, good luck to you and your endeavors.

Here's a mind bender: even with that low power density, the Sun still manages to lose 4 million tons of mass PER SECOND.
Yes, I do. That's because I take the time to read things and understand them. Give it a try. It will also help you in other aspects of life.

How do you feel about stock brokers and actors and baseball (insert other silly kid's game that people take way too seriously) players ?

I mean the other day I highlighted two cells and dragged them, it added numbers in a squence! It must be self-aware!
