It doesn't say it's electrolytic, just that it needs a potential difference to work. Maybe it is using electric power, but the article doesn't have many details.
They are not harvesting the plant material (like we animals do) to create energy, but converting carbon dioxide + water into hydrogen, oxygen and carbon
They are not turning carbon dioxide into carbon, just water into O2 and H2.
Not to mention the waste hydrogen that is created and simply released into the atmosphere
Maybe when you've been on the receiving end of oppression for 10,000 years, maybe when you live in a society that isn't geared toward promoting the dominance of your sex, maybe when you weren't raised in an environment of almost absolute privilege, you get to complain
So, when the oppressed group gets some power, it just does the same thing they did to them? Besides, the degree to which contemporary society is geared towards men is questionable.
the fact that you might be complaining that women are smarter than you and dominate a few areas of the job market, while still lagging significantly behind in most others, is just fucking pathetic
He's saying the coherent course of action would be to give men as much of an unfair advantage as women have. That we should make affirmative action universal and make every company, career, field, etc. representative of gender and race, even if it means we won't have the best person we could have in every spot.
One of the problems with this equality thing is that we can't have, for example, a company with 1/10 men and another company with 9/10 men. Each one seeks an even distribution when it might not be the most efficient thing to do.

You could say the race is affected by a number of dice rolls which can either harm or benefit each car. The longer the race, the more rolls and the steeper the bell curve (actually, binomial distribution), thus getting any significant benefit or harm becomes less likely
Because, while the company is alive, they want to make a profit (and they think the way to get more profit is copy protection). Once the company goes belly-up, they don't need any more profit and want to let people keep on using the game.
Even in your example, you posit appropriate sequence and necessary ions So? These ions are found all over the place. It's just a matter of time before a sequence that does something is randomly formed.
Not all RNA will act as enzymes. Finally, a point where we agree
Are we creating the anti-strawman? -It's generally believed that OSS is inherently secure, however we've found that... -No! Strawman! OSS is an insecure piece of crap! -Liar! OSS rocks! It has no flaws at all!
Nucleotides are even more meaningless by themselves. They can form a RNA strand, which is what the first and simplest life used. But the RNA strand does nothing whatsoever by itself. Oh really?

That's why he said we would all be doing it, because the post he replied to implied these guys discovered cold fusion :)

Huh?
Unless your employer is refining aluminum I don't see how he can spend 250000 dollars a month on electricity. Nor how turning off lights might help.
I'd put it next to the carbon footprint of MRIs and medical treatments, and scientific investigation (LHC).
As in, "I don't care"
A leftist is someone who believes in tyranny, and who pursues policies that create, expand and entrench tyranny.
Don't mistake social policies like those in Northern Europe (and to some degree the USA) with full-blown communism.

why make it more complex and build them 50 km up? Just build them on the surface and be done with it.
Because then we have to build sun domes to keep people from going insane. Plus, white clothes get old after a while.
He's talking about apparent power
Technic sets don't have many special parts, and that's all that should matter to a slashdotter.
You're not building houses, are you?
It seems the Joker switched the addresses
looks like a forced login every 10 minutes is a good idea for people working with really sensitive data.
108 minutes is more like it
Unless they pot it, or stick it somewhere inaccessible. Of course, someone determined enough will find a workaround (I mean CIA, not random hacker)

Well, US robots rented its robots for a long time, I'm not sure they want them to break...
How do you know they are still circulating? :P
You want some tags?
He's so hip, he goes to wild parties where he meets hot female composite construction engineers
He says you're naive because your argument sucks, not that your argument sucks because you're naive. By the way, you suck.

It's not magic. RNA with the appropiate sequence, in the presence of necessary ions, will act as an enzyme. RTF link (or a biology book)

(thus we make the other guy defend our POV)
Utter bitch? That story showed she had feelings!
