And of course the price will be "what the seller believes he can get away with". The rules of supply and demand still apply. It's a step back to before we cut ourselves off from the gold-standard. Only with a twist. And MegaJoule is fine too, the joule is like the halfcents nobody really use. Except...

This weekend I'm heading to a good friend of mine to chat about a resource-based monetary system. Coins represent joules. And products get 3 prices, or one price and a RGB color. The first price is the accumulation of invested energy to get the product to its current state and location. The second p...

Re: Atomic Disguise Makes Helium Look Like Hydrogen

A post on slashdot.org: Because the muon is heavier, it orbits closer, meaning that less energy is required to collide two together (once you get inside the lepton shell, the two nuclei repel each other until the strong attraction becomes greater than the electrostatic repulsion, at which point you...

Atomic Disguise Makes Helium Look Like Hydrogen

Atomic disguise makes helium look like hydrogen (www.newscientist.com) In a feat of modern-day alchemy, atom tinkerers have fooled hydrogen atoms into accepting a helium atom as one of their own. The camouflaged atom behaves chemically like hydrogen, but has four times the mass of normal hydrogen, ...

OK, You want to do social engineering? Fine. Shouldn't you start gathering information on how humans actually behave? The target population demographics. Culture. Economics. Motivations. etc. And what if abortion is Darwin in action? i.e. people not fit for the current environment are not reproduci...

Stop replying to it and let it sink to the depth of the forum.
If the starter keeps bumping it, warn him to knock it off.
If starter keeps bumping it, temp-ban him.

Although we feel morally obliged to imagine him to be laying in the gutter, the truth is that this man has spend his live building the gutter where WE as consumer like to occasionally lie in. And we paid him plenty of money for it too. I like to think that this man has harnessed one of our primal ur...

The irony would be that a Polywell-reactor driven ship might be considered retro, or even antique in an Eve-Online universe :P Btw, there are some pretty nifty designs alread incase you're curious: http://browse.deviantart.com/cont...

I don't get it. That lets you image the interior of an object somehow? Lacking actual insight, I'd have to guess it's like making a normal hologram of a transparent crystal, where you would be able to distinguish the internal features of the crystal. Where as the gamma radiation would consider the ...

We can already image at molecular level detail. It's called the electron microscope. Also, neurons are a lot bigger than molecules, so we don't actually need electron microscopes to count them. The only problem is cutting slices of brain one cell thick to stick on slides beneath your microscope. No...
