Polywell has a good chance of being a good contender here too of course. I wonder if Maersk/Sealand knows about polywell.

This form of indoctrination doesn't help our kids at all.This is a plain an example ofhow our schools have become indoctrination centers rather than places that equip children for the realities of life: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/11/education/11stuff.html?_r=1&pagewanted=1&sq=Cautionary%20Video&...

What a bunch of whusses. Can't take the North Atlantic. Then you shouldn't be out there putting others like that tanker crew and the Coast Guard at risk.

Congratulations, Tom. It was a good article and deserves the award.

But why does WB7 run such transient events? What theory of waffleball formation covers such transience? You need to have an idea what you're looking for before you look for it - is this just a hunting exercise, saying "blimey, we haven't got a slightest clue what's going on with this bang-shoot, bu...

There might be some other issues not related to the plasma. For instance at my company we were having arcing problems in vacuum. Fortunately we run for long enough to see the arc without needing a special camera, but running ion pulses probably requires a high speed camera to event see the event. Tr...

I would like to know just once how these guys get their credibility. Is it because they have QD(quack doctor) after their names. Is it because of their limited imaginations when they make stuff up. Is it because they sound good when talk about something they obviously know nothing about. Oh, yes, th...

As to why a venture capitol outfit would want the rights totally defined. Well I know of a case right now where rights issues have caused no end of grief. At my current job I had to sign an agreement that said that any inventive thought that I had while at work belonged to the company. The reason fo...

What about our friend Grover Norquist and his cohort? How many of us think it be a good idea to bankrupt the federal government, to drown it like a little baby in a bathtub of red ink? How many of us think it will be a great idea to live in poverty? How many of us think a return to the great depres...

That's what I meant.. I do think this is the first step to (barring some extraordinary discoveries) recognizing life as nothing special.. As no different from any other permutation of matter. Leaving only the "mystery" of consciousness to decypher. If there really is anything to decypher. Maybe con...

Ditto to that. I discovered it when somebody got it at one of the place I worked at and didn't read it. I picked it up and wow. I've used as a reference ever since.

The 2010 election is going to be fun indeed. Locally, it's pretty certain Dodd is toast. Hopefully we can get somebody good. The Democratic part is revealing itself as the most tone deaf bunch of politicians ever. It's as if they are the reincarnations of the French Bourbons after the Napoleonic war...

I don't like posting about politics here in general, but those of us who don't follow the One blindly need do know how the other side really thinks of us: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms45EzMR0f8&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.floppingaces.net%2F&feature=player_embedded If you don't understand, just look a...

The first five minutes are important. The rest is just mindblowing.
