After reading the second article, I'm not sure. I didn't read in detail, but they did some experiments with a pump. I'm not sure if it's required, but that is how they did it to research it.
Even sub um thick membranes were strong enough to withstand a differential pressure P up to 100 mbar.
It stinks, won't stop anybody, and make criminals out of everybody, eventually. This idea is worthless.
We already have a situation where everyone is a criminal. The result of that is people have less respect for the law. And rightly so, if it is illegal for people to do the things that people do every day, then the law no longer serves society.
We know this to be true. The law serves those who own and control the government. The law serves 'artificial' persons. Real persons, can rot in jail.
Of course, people on slashdot won't bother to consider the source, they'll just pounce on the headline to 'prove' their ideological belief about Google or business.
Twenty? I'd say 5 to 10. Problem is that on an international scale there is very little that comes out of the US that isn't via Asia. Let em see.... Film and TV, Music..... And yeah not a hell of a lot more.
What it will boil down to is free trade agreements the more they become redundant the quicker the US will fall prey.
But you have an unparalleled military. What do you think that is for?
If the ISPs had any balls, they'd tell the HI government that, if they pass this law, the ISPs would simply cease to provide internet service to HI residents. And if they do pass the bill, make good on the promise. It's either that or be forced by the HI government to buy terabytes of disk space and thousands of dollars of computers to track everything the HI internet user does.
Politicians should not make laws about technology that they don't understand.
You mean the balls to go out of business?
OTOH they could send the data to the government on a weekly basis and let them sink or swim.
Where would you like that sent sir?
No one uses the cliche "1984" anymore, we're living it.
Your post is in jest and modded funny. Unfortunately it is right on for what the "authorities" would like, except the blog is posted for you by your phone, computer, ISP, neighbor, bank, employer, and cameras covering public places.
It is for safety. Just not yours.
When I saw the title of this story ("High School Students Send Lego Man 24 Kilometers High"), my first interpretation was that some students had built a 24-kilometer-high man out of legos, and then sent it somewhere... I was wondering how many legos it took, and how much the postage was!
I got stuck on 3 times the height of a jet. That would be closer to 80 feet than 80,000.
point was (mine) that replacing one type of pollution with the same one doesnt help, i dont believe this closed cycle is exactly what it is, call me conspiracy but why would the classic industries admit it if they get something that can just fit right into their old infrastructure
So you're saying replacing one source of carbon emmisions with another isn't ideal. I agree that it isn't the best solution. But I think it's a better solution.
Carbon free would be best. There are a lot of ways we could be doing that. Research needs better funding.
Hopefully that'll bring this BS to an end, along with ending the jobs of the officers that continue to pull this stunt.
Is getting a search warrant on someone really that time consuming?
The police regularly ignore the rules these days, it rarely ever costs anyone their job. In the future they will probably just not enter that particular info into evidence.
Yeah, but having convictions overturned due to failure to follow the law is a sign of incompetence. Consider this case centered around someone who was undeniably guilty of criminal activity, who will now walk free. That's not quite doing the job of Law Enforcement Officer, is it.
I figure this is why the action was barred: "The government had told the high court that it could even affix GPS devices on the vehicles of all members of the Supreme Court, without a warrant."
And they said: "Oh no you won't either!"

Unfortunately far too few of us have yet to make the connection that we put those assholes there in the first place and maybe we should do something about it. But we're working on it, really. A lot of us are trying very hard.
That's good to hear. First thing is to follow the money and put a stop to the way it's buying your government. That might be difficult.
and again it nags... isn't it the actual burning of the fossil fuels that's the biggest problem, not the diminishing resource itself ?
I'm not sure what you mean in the context of a reply to what I said.
But the resource would not be diminishing if we didn't burn it. And it's probably a good thing that it is (diminishing) at the end of the day. I doubt that it will run out in time to save us from a terrible battle with global warming, but at least it will run out.
You can't compare the edible seaweed in the market with seaweed for ethanol production. It's probably a completely different plant. Just like there are many different types of plants on land, there are many different types of plants in the sea.
... that give it the ability to turn the sugars in an edible kelp called kombu into fuel."
Errrrrrrrrrr well i seem to recall an article right here on slashdot not more that a couple of weeks ago saying that what was it E39 or whatever they cal ethanol in the US was bieng done away with as it was not a good fuel..
That article was about making biofuel from corn. The bottom line there is that growing the corn and fermenting it to create ethanol takes more energy than it produces.
This is about using a genetically engineered stomach organism to convert seaweed. Truly the parallels are astounding.
so, I should shell out between $500 and $830 to read in bed?
It's going to need to replace more than a paper back book to separate me from a whole paycheck.
I mean, my phone doesn't do that either but I think you need to come better than "reading in bed"
You can get kindle fire for about USD200. And yes, for book reading on your bed, it's overkill. So, aside for reading sci-fi novel in bed, I use my Archos 70IT to browse, read books, newspaper, comics, mangas, watching videos, ssh-ing to my NAS box at home, etc etc on my 4 hours daily commute
Also he presented it as a use case, not a target function for the device. I like to use a tablet in the Kitchen for recipes, and to watch the news.
My sis say I should turn of 3G. It apparently drains the battery a lot, but I must be getting really old as I haven't figured how to do that, and no way will I ask her how. /Embarrassed

Yeah, I didn't think it was funny either.
AC is a necessary option to have that facilitates an open exchange of ideas.
That sounds good in theory, so much so that I must concede a valid point.
However in practice, AC's seem to troll as a rule.
Worked for me.

You don't actually expect anyone to read all that drivel do you? Why don't you chill before you explode an artery.
They're all evil.
Yes, somewhat offtopic.
AC's don't give mod points. They troll.

Maybe he could be the new AG.
Don't forget the West Coast Shaw and Telus duopoly.
Telus/Shaw beat Bell/Rogers on both price and bandwidth. We really need more competition.

Sounds good to me. Who do you want to delete first: Your elders, or your children?

so thats the fuel problem solved then

Wait.. there are American companies with dormitories???
No, so you should all move to Asia so you can have a job and live in a dormitory.

+1 funny, Sure made me laugh.
