>>It is actually possible for, say, an electron to move in water faster than light moves in water.
Actually it is not possible for an electron to move faster than light. Electron drift speed is very slow, about an half an hour per meter (30min/m). Electricity on the other hand could possibly move faster than light in some mediums, but that ia not the same as an electron.
I will NOT consider it matured till the day these cells will run on WATER itself and NOT hydrogen.
It is not possible to take H20, split it into 2H and O, Burn the 2H (turning it back into H20), thus ending again with H20 without using an external source of energy. Think about it, you can't take water, get energy out of it, and end up with water again without putting energy back in.
>> I'm still happy he's published but I wonder whether the lawyer-boys in the RIAA are salivating right now... (insert hungry animal growling noise here).
they aren't, he published it in.ps format, the RIAA can't read it.

Is there some way to personalise /. to avoid seeing duplicates? Now that would be useful.
Yes there is, everytime the editor allows a dupe, deduct from karma
actually you would have to subtract 273.15
