    while it's not ideal, i like that form better than the 'wait and see if you get raided for buying this time' approach in some jurisdiction. especially after whatever department processes those forms gets used to seeing your name and address on stuff you at least have some protection against a suspicious supplier calling you in the first time you order from them and having the local cops show up and "holy shit look at all this he must be making meth"

    wouldn't have to be that aggressive, as long as you have access to hardware control, you can tell if you just got put into a reflective box. very low to zero noise or any other signal when your own transmitter is not sending, and very high noise when it is on.

  22. Re:Stop the leak by freezing it shut? on Gulf Gusher Worst Case Scenario · · Score: 1

    short answer: no

    long answer: you would only be getting the oil at the well head cold, the oil coming up is the same temperature and any freezing that did occur would just be pushed away by the flowing oil. rivers don't usually freeze solid and they are at surface pressure and are cold along the entire way.

    if you make the hydrogen production cheap enough then the costs of concentrating it don't matter. if a facility can produce enough H to burn/catalyze for energy to drive it's compression systems and still make a profit then the compression being inefficient won't matter so much, and once said facilities are built there there will be much greater incentive to find cheap ways to concentrate the H since it will be a large existing market looking to buy such technology.
