  1. Re:How expensive is this thing Cerium? on New Sunlight Reactor Produces Fuel · · Score: 2

    If need be the electrolysis can be done with solar or nuclear power. The real question is how much of it does this need and how often must it be replaced.

  2. Re:All about cost efficiency on New Sunlight Reactor Produces Fuel · · Score: 1

    Welcome to reality, price of oil is going up, and batteries have not come far enough. This means burning those barrels now to build the plant and selling them later via your plant could make you real money. Even if that is not true, my car can cheaply be made to burn Methane, it cannot cheaply become an electric car.

    Which is why we use this to make Methane that we can use during those periods.

  4. Re:Loads of Potential on New Sunlight Reactor Produces Fuel · · Score: 1

    Because my car can burn Methane if I spent ~$1000 to convert it. It would be cheaper to buy an electric car than convert mine to electric. Plus we already have all the infrastructure to deal with Methane.

  5. Re:Equal parts excitement and antipathy on New Sunlight Reactor Produces Fuel · · Score: 1

    This solves the Batteries issue. You can burn Methane in your car and this can supply that Methane without all the CO2 and drilling.

    You're wrong. Corn ethanol is slightly positive, just darn near not and it loses out cost wise without subsidies.

    Read about bull sharks. Hell read about sharks in general before shooting off at the mouth.

  8. Re:Why hydrogen? on Global Observer's First Hydrogen-Powered Flight · · Score: 1

    That is energy density compared to volume, it does poorly there. Mass wise it does quite well.

    You can figure that out by looking at the camera too.

    How would the senior dev have ever found out about any of that?

    My understanding was that crap was generally running emulated on a s390 or whatever IBM has replaced it with. Either way, that old shit eventually will have to be replaced.

    Sure, but these companies keep doing it anyway. I don't disagree it is bad for the company, but they are the ones playing this game.

    There you go kiddo. It ain't Fortran but it will let you avoid locking yourself into the iPhone land.

    Whoosh!

    Sure that happens, but guess what that is the only way the senior dev is getting a raise.

    Sure it hurts the company, but they made that choice, not him.

    What university did you attend? 40 hour work weeks are a lot less work, more free time than I ever had back then. I did college, worked around 20 hours a week, and had labs that took 40 hours a week or so.

    I would just get a toolkit that turns a language I already know into something that will run on the iPhone. We call that lazy and smart.

    Stop speaking that way. You clearly have been infected with some sort of disease, you probably got it by standing too close to MBAs or Marketing folks, see a doctor soon.

    That people have jobs doing nothing but BASIC ?
    That seems like a problem to me.

  21. Life is not fair on Should Younger Developers Be Paid More? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The older developer needs to find a new job. IT raises only really come by switching jobs. For some reason companies rather have high turnover and pay each new hire more than give raises to staff. It makes no sense and is not fair, but it is life.

    For the most part these cameras are looking at parking lots and other boring crap, why secure it at all?

    Oh Noes the bad guys can look at our empty parking lot at night!

    It's not. A 1970 vintage 747 is not viable. It would have the engines replaced, all the cockpit gear, it would practically be a new plane.

    Sometimes it can be, sometimes it is a chore. I would love to have my car drive me home from the bar, rather than have to force someone to not drink.

    So stealing then giving away most of what you stole makes up for it?

    I am not saying it does or does not, just wondering how that you reconcile these actions.
