    The chances of terrorists bypassing all of the security systems of a nuclear reactor which prevent it from nuclear meltdown are incredibly slim.

  8. Re:Loan Guarantee on Entergy Admits 2005 Tritium Leak · · Score: 1

    Who said he was the only guard? Or the first and last guard between you and the nuclear reactor core?

    Besides, what do you think someone can actually do to a nuclear reactor? Shut it down? lol.

  9. Re:Loan Guarantee on Entergy Admits 2005 Tritium Leak · · Score: 1

    So one guard was caught sleeping on the job and you use that to judge the entire company and the thousands of employees working there?

  10. Re:Loan Guarantee on Entergy Admits 2005 Tritium Leak · · Score: 1

    Manifestly?? Don't insult our intelligence, this is an insignificant "safety hazard."

  11. Re:Troll summary. on Entergy Admits 2005 Tritium Leak · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It's obviously a troll summary, the OPs username is mdsolar.

  12. Re:Was on 60 minutes. Many companies make these on Fuel Cell Marvel "Bloom Box" Gaining Momentum · · Score: 1

    That guy is not an analyst, just a guy with a blog who was ecstatic to be on 60 minutes.

    Yet I assume you have no problem with that ICE in your car.

  14. Re:Payback period? on Fuel Cell Marvel "Bloom Box" Gaining Momentum · · Score: 1

    The Bloombox isn't running a Carnot cycle... Completely different. The Carnot cycle implies changes in temperature and pressure to generate mechanical work, this device is running at a constant temperature and pressure and utilizing a chemical reaction to directly generate electricity, no mechanical work involved. Thermodynamics still applies, but the Carnot cycle does not.

    Yes, kill the grid and when we finally get Nuclear Fusion we realize that we need the Grid back!

    From Wikipedia:

    Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that deals with the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. The upper age limit of such patients ranges from age 12 to 21, depending on the country. A medical practitioner who specializes in this area is known as a pediatrician. The word pediatrics and its cognates mean healer of children; they derive from two Greek words: (pais = child) and (iatros = doctor or healer).

  18. Re:What makes it run? on Fuel Cell Marvel "Bloom Box" Gaining Momentum · · Score: 1

    You can use the waste heat to heat the offices/home.

    The power seems to come from a chemical reaction between the free oxygen and hydrocarbons.

    I think the details are vague on purpose.

    That's apparently the main point of their invention, that it doesn't require exotic materials that aren't found on the Earth in abundance.

  20. Re:I don't get it on US Inadvertently Enabled Chinese Google Hackers · · Score: 1

    Let's see, there is a fairly successful robotics manufacturer that makes robots for plastic injection molding. A Chinese company decided they needed a few hundred of these robots, so they ordered 2 of them. From there they reverse engineered the robots and made the hundred they needed out of those two robots.

    Omitting names for obvious reasons.

    Anecdote is an anecdote, not an isolated case.

  21. Re:This isn't that different from the adult world. on Suspension of Disbelief · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's unfortunate that you couldn't spend 5 minutes to read the article, but there's no need to boast to the rest of the world how lazy you are.
