    Actually, the White house is enough! Let's hope cheese blocks wifi. Additionally, all the rats trying to get in can be caught and the rats trying to escape...well... choose love

    IS THAT Wallace or Gromet writing this?

  4. april fools 1&2 on April Fool's Day Roundup · · Score: 1

    OH. So we don't believe yesterday OR today's Slashdot and /or news? It almost has ceased to work as a prank since all "news" seems to be bogus these days.

  5. YES on Should We Revive Extinct Species? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    In the name of Reciprocity! Our species might need extinction reversal someday..It's "a do unto others" thing...

  6. coffee farming good for the birds on Coffee Beans Are Good For Birds, Fancy Brew Or Not (sciencedaily.com) · · Score: 1

    While it may be Industrial PR, it is good news as farming and nature can co-exist when toxic treatments aren't dumped on the crops& soil. This bit is positive for human consumers of coffee as well..if you like robusta, anyway.

  7. Oh goody.. Now I will NOT be tempted to follow more bad news.... This will greatly aid my withdrawal from the internet as it has become.

  8. Trig before whose time? on Ancient Tablet Reveals Babylonians Discovered Trigonometry (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    It seems to me the dark ages started earlier than we think and have lasted longer.. So "we" are really more like 2000 year BEHIND times. Imagine if the questions of Lucretious about the property of atoms and the use of this trig had been continuous... That old saw about the ones unable to learn from history destined to always repeat it.

  9. Re:Crows, for one on Magpies Are Self-Aware · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the original premise is wrong...I knew an airedale named Crowbar that was vain..He would sit in front of the full-length mirror and lower his head until both eyes reflected. After gazing at himself for quite a while he would reposition himself so he could see his tail. I saw this many times and finally got his owner to watch the show. I also witnessed banty hens kill 2 leghorn chickens by jumping on top of them from the henhouse roof. I missed the murder of leghorn #1, and observations halted when I ran out of leghorns!

  10. Re:You don't need high efficiency though... on New Solar Cell Harvests Hydrogen From Water · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But you need time... I think I will continue to drive electric for at least 10 more years... again;-} I just couldn't wait any longer for fuel cell tech to "come to market" and have "adjusted" to lead-acid battery just fine - low tech is better than no tech

  11. Hole in the universe on Astronomers Find Huge Hole in Universe · · Score: 1

    Have they just discovered the aspect of the universe the ancient (and probably the modern), Mayans call the "eye of the needle"??

  12. Re:Cold Temperature Performance on Nanotech Battery Claims to Solve Electric Car Woes · · Score: 1

    While the car on this site, http://sirycars.blogspot.com/, isn't running on A123's, it gives you an idea of how electrics can do in cold. I need to add more H20 to my lead-acids in the winter because I overcharge to keep them warm.[oh for a garage!!]..they may not have the same pep as they do mid summer, but the get me over the hill to work. As for charging while "out" - My line is "If I can't charge, I don't shop" Most places "get it".

  13. Ev conversion question on Electric Vehicle Kits for the Masses? · · Score: 1

    DO it! Bill Stewart's advice was good. I got good stuff off of the austinev trading post. Join EVEAA, go to meetings, ask for spare parts for sale, you may be able to get a battery discount & share a pallet with someone else to bring down battery cost. After you've figured your needs, look in the freebie ads for a car. YOu want a low Coefficient of Drag (googleit)weight under/around 2500# The most expensive item is the transfer plate between your emotor & trannie so consider a car type thats already been converted. VWs are popular but bugs are too small, and the gear ratios suck- Be sure the frame and vanity stuff is in good shape whatever you choose- the rubber details on my VW cost as much as the conversion b4 batteries. I saved $3000. in gas the first year & my conversion cost $3K. Adaptation is survival, this project you are considering saves considerable amounts of CO2 emissions ... there may be other social benefits too, but I am not interested in all the attention from women.

  14. Re:Interesting, but not new on Electric Car Faster Than A Ferrari or Porsche · · Score: 1

    Thanx! Somewhat appropriately, I ground my battery pack down yesterday... Multi-meters and chargers could also be improved. Better batteries would be appreciated..muchly. While I am at it,solid state relays that can handle the 96-144-etc., 400 amp breakers... all stuff that US companies sell overseas but not at home...

    I came to California too early in my education so I have a hard time with numbers:But I appreciate your comparison. Now: If 77KWH = 1 gallon of gasoline, how many MJs is that? I think it was 77KWH required to create enough hydrogen for the equivilent of I gallon gas.. I think it also takes 6 hours to charge my car at 12 amps household circuit)- How many MJs or KWH is that??? thanks

    Amazing that the booksellers see stephansen as attracting 18-35 males, When my introduction to and discussions about his writing have always been between 35- women!.. I recommend stephansen to SF readers from behind the checkout counter, but the only people who have come back to me have been the women... This news is encouraging as the 18-35 male group was also given credit for electing in the current CA. gov. TJ
