    You might find this interesting. Alternative, but interesting:

    Thunderbolts of the Gods:

    About mythology, but also about the electrical universe and plasma cosmology.

    (can't remember the name, but it was not front phage, but it was indeed popular at the time)


    Great choice of words. :)

    Ok, ok.. If no one does that I will think of the children.

    May I have their dates of birth so that I can prepare their astrology charts?

  7. Cut down on bullying.. on State Lawmaker Wants To Ban Anonymous Posting Online · · Score: 3, Interesting

    like in real life where most bullies know their names of their victims. No one is bullied in real life as we all know! No one is being bullied even though teachers and parents are fully aware of it!

    So let's find some thing (internet) to yell about because you don't like it (because you cannot control it)

  8. Your mission on Cyber Storm II Set To Begin · · Score: 2, Funny
    Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to prevent certain military groups from sending sensitive information about Air Force One.

  9. Re:Conspiracy! on Air Force Emails Sensitive Information to Tourism Site · · Score: 1

    Good idea! The Nintendo NES will keep them busy for a while.... so does fighting over who gets to use the light gun controller the next time! ;D

  10. Re:Making this much nanotube material... on Large Sheets of Carbon Nanotubes Produced · · Score: 1

    "[..] charging times essentially the same as the time needed to fill a 16-20 gallon fuel tank on a medium-sized family car"

    I am not an electrical expert at all.. but wouldn't such charging times require huge amounts of current to go through the charging wire?

    A supercapacitor is very nice.. but I would tend to say that having a large 'tank' and being able to fill it quickly are two different things.

    Anyone who can expand a bit on this?

  11. Re:T'was Ever Thus on RIAA Not Sharing Settlement Money With Artists · · Score: 1

    RoTFA? Is that how Price calls himself nowadays? :?

    I see you are correct. Please forgive this non-native English speaker and have faith in the fact that I, for one, will from now on refer to them as marsupial overlords. ;)

  23. Re:Because, on U.S. Confiscating Data at the Border · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Do you really believe that you're sending data over the internet unmonitored right now?

  24. Re:Seriously.. on U.S. Confiscating Data at the Border · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sooo.. where does this put the person carrying a work laptop legally in this case:

    - You carry a laptop from your company
    - For the data/software on the laptop, you've signed an NDA
    - Your laptop is searched at the border and data is copied and archived from it; this to me seems basically the same as your house being searched without a warrant

    Are you responsible for the breach of the disclosure agreement?

    Anyway: I guess it's time to carry almost empty laptops and access your company data over VPN/SSH/SFTP etc.
