Here is the kicker, if you're running oracle 8i to 9 when you run the patch it stops oracle from starting. And the worm that is running around automatically fixing the problem, it doesn't check if your running oracle, could someone update that good bug to check??
If you want to increase yield perhaps the way to go about it would involve pressurizing deutrinium gas above its' critical point. This would mean it wouldn't be a liquid but a very dense gas. On that note perhaps add two electrodes and energize the gas to create a plasma down the middle of the container. Since the plasma would exist only between the electrodes then the danger of damaging the container would be minimized.
The overall effect would be increased density due to pressure(resulting in more moles of gas fusing=greater output) and essentially decreased activation energy of fusion because the gas would be excited via the electrons. Well if anyone reads this tell me what you think. I think it all depends on if bubbles can be formed in a superdense gas, if not it might require artificial "bubbles" of bucky balls injected, or some sort of induced resonance that forms instataneous cavities, or something I haven't thought of yet. Just trying to be the 100th monkey.
I like the idea of a mass ejectors like the next guy but seriously think about the economics. I got a alternate to sending up minivan sized probes capable of drilling, mining, pelletizing and ejecting. Just send up a small* army of solar or nuclear powered ion engines that attach to the surface and eject comet dust at a programable vector. Ion thrusters should be taken seriously. The main advantage over mass ejectors is simplicity. Take a thin wire and tin foil add high voltage, save planet. Think ionic breeze. So instead of billions of dollars for a couple thousand half ton probes think millions of dollars for billions of 2 ounce
ion thrusters(including fuel for the trip). Now those developing countries that are still in the developing stages of a space program can really help out. 'Here guys can you send up a lot of little rockets for us and if you happen to blow up a rocket or 2 np, we made a bunch.' And seriously if I see one post replying to this saying something to the regards of,"oh yeah send tin foil at a rock, that'd work" from someone without at least a basic understanding of physics so help me......
* ok not really small, more like 1000-100000 or more depending on requirements.

this is going to be a long day.
