  1. Re:Good Iternships on Summer Internships - The Good, and the Bad? · · Score: 1

    Huh, sounds exactly opposite my experience there this summer. It's mostly a problem with the department I was with, and having my boss gone for like half the time I was there, and not having any projects to do.

    Oh, and also the Sandia bureaucracy is intolerable. They screwed me over so many times it's not even close to funny.

  2. Re:Shitty weapon in Counterstrike on Rail Guns Closer to Reality · · Score: 1

    The Z machine and other magnetic pinch devices already can create fusion (not thermonuclear, though).

    The Associated Press doesn't pull April Fools jokes, methinks.

  6. Re:.torrent anyone? on Mac OS X Tiger Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    From what I can tell, after that SNAFU with the other tiger pre-release, none of the mac torrent sites dare post any apple torrents on it.

    Use adblock, and block all of the admedia/adwhoever javascript includes; most pop-anythings will go away because the commands to activate them aren't there.

    The deep-sea fish story was a hoax.

  12. Re:The PROBLEMS with nuclear (not nukular) on Green Energy Now, And On The Tide · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Summary of said article: the industry is going to be building 20-years-behind-the-times reactors which will merely replace the existing reactors. And a lot of other hot air/meaningless commentary.

    This guy needs to check his facts. No one is trying to say that pebble bed reactors are going to solve the energy crisis. The industry is developing (and has developed) more efficient, smaller, safer 3rd generation PWRs (pressurized water reactors) that use the same concept as traditional reactors but with vastly improved design (source: Nuclear News, November 2004). As a nuclear engineer, I can tell you that these will be the new reactors.

    There is, of course, also the point that old reactors are aging. Yes, they are. Maintenance and reevaluations of those facilities are constantly under way, and they will likely be safe to operate for many more years. In the meantime, more modern reactors will be built at an increasing rate that will not only compensate for reactors that must be shut down in the future but also provide more energy.

  16. Kate Mulgrew on UPN Officially Cancels 'Star Trek: Enterprise' · · Score: 1

    Kate Mulgrew (sp?), that little skank.

    I remember one season when five times she tried to auto-destruct Voyager to save maybe a single person's life. Ugh. She should have died, not been promoted (I can't believe she's an admiral as per the most recent ST movies).

  17. Re:methane gas???? on Electrolytic Etching, For What A Dremel Can't Do · · Score: 1

    No, I'm not forgetting them. The salt, er. All right, so maybe the chlorine evolves instead of the oxygen -- but I can't remember the potentials for the different redox reactions (it's been a few years since I took college chemistry).

    And the metal isn't going to do anything. And methane won't show up in any possible form.

  18. Re:methane gas???? on Electrolytic Etching, For What A Dremel Can't Do · · Score: 1

    The water will be electrolyzed into H2 and O2.

    2H20 -> 2H2 + O2

    You're not going to evolve methane (as the article says). Sheesh.

  25. Use NASB for most true-to-original translation on Ohio Law Could Send Spammers To Jail · · Score: 1
    The NASB is regarded as having the best accuracy, though it doesn't seem too different from the KJV in this instance.
    John 2:14 And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables.
    John 2:15 And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables;
    John 2:16 and to those who were selling the doves He said, "Take these things away; stop making My Father's house a place of business."
