  1. Re:Take your time on Nuclear Fusion Real Soon Now · · Score: 0

    In fact I called it melt down because it literially melt them. The temperature from the fusion will reach at critical heat if not extract, and coldist cold fusion still are tens of thousand of degree. The explosion will melt away most of the euqiment, and also trigger the those that is stored. Don't think 10mg is much. When they are high in temperature they will cause them that is still in the tube to start to fuse. It will create a chain reaction back to the "storage area". Those small safety lock isn't going to do anything. The fusion heat will simplily melt it away. Once it reach the storage tank...BOOM...MELT...no pain...instant vapor...yah...

  2. Re:Take that hydrogen! on Nuclear Fusion Real Soon Now · · Score: 1

    The starting "fusion" hydrogen create enough heat and "excite" other hydrogen to fuse. After a while, the fusion temperature will be extrememly high. When it reach that temperature, some heat, hydrogen, has to be extract to prevent melt down. Those extract heat than turn the motor of the generator; therefore, it create massive amount of energy by just doing the intial fusion.

    If you think you can provide the story much faster and sumit it to slashdot earlier than other people. Please do so, or stop complaining.

  4. We are already over the break-even point. on Nuclear Fusion Real Soon Now · · Score: 1

    It is a wonder that people don't understand that we actully are way over the break-even point. Ever heard of a hydrogen bomb? That thing is base off fusion, and it is the most power "known" weapon. On the other hand, cold fusion is costly. Unlike normal fusionable hydrogen, use in bomb. Cold fusion need "heavier" hydrogen known as deuterium. The hydrogen:deuterium ratio in the natural is about 6000:1. It is very hard to find them, and you can not just separate the water(You will noly get normal hydrogen). You need to "bombard" a lithium atom with a neutrons. In the process, you will create a helium and a deuterium. The process of bombarding is very costly, and lithium isn't as common as hydrogen.

    That you don't have to worry about. Fusion power plant is much safter then nuclear power plant. When the fusion power plant decide to have a melt down. It will not release all the radioavtice cloude. The worst that can happen is that it melt EVERYTHING within approx. 10 miles radius of the power plant. Fairly safe if you put in the New Mexico, or Nevada, desert. The worst thing that can happen there is that you have a HUGE sphere looking glass on the center of the desert.

    Why you think they try to sue two federal government office for using OpenOffice? And I believe everyone remember the most imfamous MS trademark: The "Blue Screnn of Death".

  7. Re:Why were they detained ? on A High-tech Wheel of Fortune · · Score: 1

    Why you think Las Vegas spend million of dollars each year on its secruity? They are trying everything they can to prevent cheating from happening. Las Vegas currently have the 2nd high-tech. computer, right after CIA, system to keep track of every people inside the casino. The camera even have face recongization system. Also, the Las Vegas has more security feature than that of the U.S. Federal Bank and White House. They have like one camera per table, and still ike tens of them looking at every single direction. It will be hard for any other country to keep up with the tech. of Las Vegas.

    I believe this is the thoughts that come across that person's mind. - "Why not make a BatMobile and testrun it myself." He make exactly 2 mistake in that "expierment." First, testing a theorically fast car near mountain. (You suppose to test in on open field) Secondly, you never test an experimentally cars youself. If anyone ever seen an air craft engineer actully sit in the expiermentally air craft and test it him/her self please reply, and please cite the site.

  9. Re:still need ... on Second Test of X-43A Scramjet Tomorrow · · Score: 0

    The air on sea level is way too dense compare to air like 10,000 m above sea level. If its going to boost that fast near sea level, I personally believe the air craft frame will melt. Secondly, the fuel mention earlier is important. With super, and hyper, sonic jets, to keep the engine warm is crucial. Take the famous Concords Super Sonic Jet for example; it use 6 time more fuel when its on the ground then when it is in air. The take off and gaining the required height parts of an air craft is the most fuel consuming time during the whole flight. Secondly, I don't believe there is actully an X-series air craft that take off from sea level. Finally, X, like F stand for Fighter and B stand for Bomber, it stand for eXperiment. It is a mean of testing the air craft frame and engine. It was never mean to be "tradictional."

  10. Re:Let's have a little poll. on Testing Relativity · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I believe neither will win in the long run. Its like back in the Sir Issac Newtons's age. Everyone thought its the truth while it wasn't. In a few centruies, or decades, a new theory will develope as technology advancement which allow more accurate calculations. The brand new theory will then, like Relatively overthrown Newtons' Law of Gravity, prove some point that neither theory cannot. This will happen again, and again. "The abolsute truth can never be found because all truth presee mankind are perseptive."

    So what if it isn't supporting? Just change all the music file to wimamp music file. Also, why the heck will anyone buy a 4GB crap for? That is like 600+ music in there(That's near a whole day worth, and you do not repeat at all) . Why on earth will you do that? Normal working people work 7-10 hours a day... Finally, what the heck? There is like 15, 20, and 40 GB iPod...40GB!!! ARE THEY NUTS???

    I completely agree with you. The last time I call MS office they put me on hold. After about 10 minutes, someone come and I tell him the prolem, then he say it isn't his field or something, and redirect me to another person. I was put onhold for another 20 minutes or so. The samething happen over and over. Its not until after about 1 hour and talking to 4 different people that someone actully start to help me. I don't know its me or him, but my computer crashed right after I did what he said I should do...
