  5. Steam Power? on Practical Method for Getting Oil from Oil Shale? · · Score: 1

    Steam engines were left by the wayside of development; if the past 60+ years of gasoline engine delopment had went for steam engine advances, who knows.

    Also, a bit of Sodium in a water tank will make lots of steam......
    or a Magnesium fire can break water down into Hydrogen and Oxygen.

    Just my 2 cents worth.

    This makes perfect sense to a certain cat we all know and love:

    We can never be sure if the grand father is dead or alive.
    If we perform the measure of his alive or "deadness"
    by killing him, we can never kill him be cause we were not born.

  21. Re:No I didn't read it, but ... on Open Source As Legal Time Bomb · · Score: 1

    Um, Wrong.
    The open-source movement is founded on the rights of the creator.
    If I create something on my own; I should have the right to barter my creation to you, against your time to improve it; together we barter the improved product to someone else for their time.
    I only allow you to use and distribute it if you agree to help improve it, or at least not try to steal my own rights to it.
    Microsoft would never allow an audit of the Windows code because of the massive theft of intellectual property Microsoft has stolen from open-source developers.
    When you are stealing, accuse your victims of theft.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out

    "There is no question that some of the open source software that is out there -- such as the Linux kernel itself -- has got patent violations in there. That is acknowledged. There is more danger that those potential violations will be litigated..."
