    Yes. Are you looking to collect royalties or something?

    Maybe they need to post stories like this just to give all us old /.ers a chance to come on and say that we've been using these things since before yer momma was born, and such.

    In this context, public does not mean owned by the government. It means a place where you can expect just about anyone to be, i.e. full of strangers, people you had no say in whether or not they are there.

    OK, I know about "lesbian until graduation", although I did not realize they had themed parties, but what does "LAN" stand for? Lesbian at night?

    Oh, bugger.
    Well, Always Look On The Bright Side of Life was actually my first guess, but then I thought The Lumberjack Song would be more fun.

  8. Re:They will make a fortune on France To Invest One Billion Euros In Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    I know about gasification and reforming. But this was talking about making hydrogen directly from water, so there's no carbon involved from which to get CO.

  9. Re:They will make a fortune on France To Invest One Billion Euros In Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    Where'd you get the CO to do that?

    Heck, if you've got a bunch of hydrogen, turn it into ammonia using the Haber-Bosch process, then fertilize switchgrass with the ammonia, then make ethanol from the switchgrass...Yeah, that'd be durn efficient!

  19. 6/28 already has mathematical significance on Happy Tau Day · · Score: 1

    It's Perfect Number day, as 6 and 28 are both perfect numbers.

    Proper divisors of 6: 1, 2, 3
    1+2+3 = 6

    Proper divisors of 28: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14
    1+2+4+7+14=28

    The next perfect number is 496, so all of the perfect numbers that can be dates are 6 and 28.

    No, McDonalds would have to go to the 1 Hectogram with Cheese for economic reasons (and it'd make dietary sense too), and they'll lose just a little meat. "Hectogram" just sounds so scientific and mathematical and not so tasty.

    I'd say being beautiful does take sometimes take some work. When you see the early pictures of people generally regarded as beautiful they often look less attractive than they do now. It took some work to change that. As does staying beautiful.

  25. Re:submarine use? on Acoustic Stealth Technology Finally Created · · Score: 1

    That makes sense, but calling it "shielding from sonar" makes it sound like that was not what was meant. Of course the sounds from inside the hull that are going to give the boat away to passive sonar are sounds directly coupled to the hull, like dropping a wrench in the bilge , or coming down a ladder (which is bolted to the hull) noisily. Or pumps not adequately isolated from the hull, etc.
