I will not FUD FUD is the mindkiller, FUD is the little death That brings total Embrace and Extend I will permit my FUD to pass Over me and through me And where Trusted Computing has gone I will turn the inner eye Nothing will be there No Source will remain.
James Randi has a standing offer to give 1 Million Dollars to anyone who can do stuff similar to what you claim. For instance if you always guess the next card drawn at random from a deck of cards, always pick the where the ball will land in roulette, or always call a coin heads or tales correctly.
Here you apparently have the power to always 'win' at something declared a random selection.
[regarding hypothetical magic H2O to H2 + O2 machine]Except that we're destroying the planet's water supply to get it.
Just so you don't lose any sleep over it, the result of burning the H2 would again produce water. In fact it would probably be purer water than was used to feed the magic machine.
But it make more sense to not lose sleep because the machine is theoretically impossible.
Yeah, because it took me more than 5 to RTFM and read the posted comments then post myself.
After posting I get a new refresh of the article. Crap, a couple other people make comments along the same lines, and slashdot doesn't let you cancel a comment.
So I get a redundent mod.
Wish the durn moderators would take the Nyquist Sampling Theorem into account befor modding.
And I bet this comment if more than 5 minutes after you coughed too.:)

I think a majority of Americans have evolved from actually liking Pokemon - were you left behind?
You think adults have to like pokemon (or barney,or Thomas the Tank Engine, or dragontales etc etc) to end up watching them?
Heck no. The kids like them, so they are on TV often. And they frequently bring it up as a topic of discussion.
My 5 year old more than the 10 year old, but even the elder still likes it.
As a parent you would try to know something about what you children watch, and be able talk with them about it, wouldn't you?
There have been other metods proposed to remediate radiation belts that don't require wrecking RF comminucations.
one proposal suggests using a long conductive tether orbiting in the radiation belt. The charged particles in the belt would interact with the electric charge on the tether, altering their orbit in a way that would remove them from the belt.
Yes, this is a spaced based solution. But even though it has to be launched, it still could be simpler and cheaper than making a huge VLF transmitter on the ground.
You realize of course, the context of the "kill the lawyers" quote is that the act of killing all the lawyers would aid in the establishment of a tyrannical reign. In other words, Shakespeare was saying that in some way, there are lawyers who protect freedom.
In context you say? Funny, I read the context as being part of Cade and his rabble's pie-in-the-sky wishes of what they'd do when they got power. Stuff like seven loaves of bread for the price of 2, or make weak beer illegal. Silly things not thought through. Impulses, not serious planning to become a tyrant.
So couldn't it be said that Shakespeare was saying it was a common impulse to want to
kill all the lawyers?
The Brown Bess was optimized for volley fire because that's all it was good for, which is why the government adopted volley fire as what it wanted to do, which is why..
No, its not really that circular a logic. Remember we are talking black powder era. If you do not use volley fire, the first shots will produce enough smoke to interfer with the later shooters. Hence the adoption of the volley.
That's why I'm hiding behind a tree with my rifle.
You mean that one tree with the pall of smoke around it. The other guys in the regiment had suggested it be singled out for special attention. Maybe even a small cavalry charge
t used to be that the government had better technology always. . . Kentucky rifle vs. Brown Bess.
The Kentucky Rifle might be better for sniping from the treeline.
But the smooth bore Brown Bess is an arguably better weapon than the Kentucky Rifle for volley fire due to faster reloading and less fouling.
So yes, it could be said the government had a better rifle for what it wanted to do.

I will not FUD
FUD is the mindkiller,

Over me and through me

No no no, you are missing a great opportunity!

Sounds like a excellect chance to inject some new perfectly cromulent words into wide use.
Population of U.S (according to google) 295,734,134
...
Divide by 1,500,000
So if 110 million of us replace 197 bulbs each, we'd all have FREE ENERGY! Whoot!
First dibs on searching his parent's yard with a metal detector!
Old headlines apparently.
(durn lameness filter! if the original had a greater percentage of caps, why can't I quote it without extra text like this!)
I'm thinking its "best...troll...ever!".
Not only did he catch lots of "H2+O2 = 2*H2O" replies, he got modded up for it.
On the other hand, FUSION is theortically possible, and that would 'destroy' its hydrogen fuel, producing worthless (you can't drink it) helium.
Oh noes! Panic! :)

Well, at least then he would not have to worry about persistent heartburn so much.

Just waiting for someone to blame global warming for this reverse sun spot.

Question: Do you believe in Evolution?
Answer: YES. How else can you get your pikachu changed into a riachu!

The RIAA does little to stifle that impulse.
