Light is NOT heat, heat and light operate at a different wave length. While it's not a bad try and it's close to 100%, it's got nothing to do with the production of biofuel, and the fact that's obvious to anyone who has actually worked in a real processing plant (eg. ME) that nothing is even going to approach 100%.
"thermodynamic efficiencies do not apply to physical processes"
right so your claiming there isn't going to be ANY engines or motors involved in the process? doesn't apply to physical processes... care to explain how that works since thermodynamic's is all about energy loss moving physical parts around?
and how the fuck am i a Godwin? it's not like i was trying to say the nazi's used bio fuel or anything.
err no electric heating produces both heat AND light, so it's not 100% efficent, not even close. not only that but the generation of the electricity isn't 100% efficent. you have to go all the way back in the supply chain or your just fooling yourself.
" a process can be 100% efficient, depending on how you define efficiency."
anything can be anything you want if you use a crappy enough definition. whats your point?
oh and there are documented cases of the nazi's doing shootings to the head which failed, and they buried the person only to have them claw their way out.
the likelyhood that we are going to be destroied by an NEO though? come on people this isn't the movies. not only that but what do you think we could do if there was one? if something the size of texas like in the movies was going to hit us, you have NO CHANCE of significantly altering it's course.
If i had a penny for everytime some failing business sector whinged about falling profits.
they are perfectly happy to let the market decide when it's in their favour, but they can't handle the double egded nature of the beast.
when they say "60 billion was taken out of the industry", what they really mean is 60 billion wasn't spent on THEM, whaa wahaa someone call the whaaaabumlance.
No one here will argue that having a good idea and being allowed the chance to profit from that idea is wrong.
the primary problem most of us have is that copyright terms are not in the public interest, which is the whole reason copyrights and patents are given in the first place - a government granted monopoly in exchange to that work or invention passing into the public domain.
"Then I asked the grad students lots of questions because the professors were not available much. They are very busy."
i guess that's why they are professors, they have the ability to fool people like you into thinking they are busy and not playing mini golf in their office.
since your a gen Y i'll make something clear from the start - you aren't the boss, you are starting from the lowest point possible. the janitor has more cred than you do.
maybe i'm jumping the gun and you aren't one of these typical gen y kids, but oh lordy i'm looking forward to the comming wave of youtube video's of them freaking out in the work place.
if somthing goes 3cm into your forehead, it's significant. i'd be pretty hesitant about strapping anything to my head that messes with my brain directly.
I used to be one of those people that hated dogs, but my g/f cunningly got me to buy her one. the key is to realise not all dogs are the same. i hate big hairy slobbing things that shed all over the place and destroy the yard and house. so she found a little cavalier pomarian cross. they are smart, loyal and small enough that they are easy to look after and don't cost much in the way of food. she loves it because it's cute and fluffy and i like it because it hardly sheds at all. it's a great little watch dog, it'll bark 3 - 4 times at anyone coming to the door - more then enough to warn off someone looking for an easy place to rob, but it won't continue to bark all the time annoying you anytime a person walks by.

doesn't the USA tax their fuel ? i guess this is a case of another startup using meaningless metrics in their announcments.
why won't this sink into peoples heads?

sign me up if you can make fuel for $3/gal.... or maybe you need to realise there is more to the world then the USA
why wouldn't they? claiming ANY process is 100% efficent is plain out lieing.
and then i lost interest. no product, big claims. i smell bullshit.

you do realise the earth turns, right?
the truth is almost no software passes standards tests, but hey don't let facts get in your way....

so what's your argument there chump? that all pen lasers are dangerous so lets just leave it that way?
what a load of crap that index is. are you trying to tell me australia is more corrupt than zimbabwe?
if they have tenure it's a very different story

So do you manage by spreadsheet as well? because 13% of the time "catching criminals" is pretty meaningless.
i'm not seeing how this is a privacy or civil rights issue. how about these people put their efforts to a better cause.

lots of standard HD's is a fair better option and a lot safer then some non standard tech that only one company makes.
$18,000 could buy me enough hd's so that i could rotate 2 backup disks once a year for the next 90 years.
