re quote "So... Einstein would have been banned from theoretical physics using your rules. His original theory of Special Relativity was wrong in some cases, so we got "general" relativity as a correction... With your rules we would have banned him." no theoretical physics is what it says on the tin theoretical , you could come up with a theory that the universe is just a magnified representation of a bacteria that resides in the gut , and it would still be valid theoretical physics , then its up to scientists to ether prove or disprove the theory , if proven it becomes science fact if not then try again , that's how theoretical physics works , but for science to say its this or that then you would be banned for giving false or inacurate results that you declared as facts not theory

why did they hack seti and get them all mining bitcoin and now trying to cover it up blaming aliens or something

love there thinking , its like we have found an exploit in the system , but cant see how other humans could possibly understand there system as only scientists like them can understand it , so only aliens are likely to be a problem

name failure ,, Hurricane , its a tropical storm or typhoon , but once above between 30 and 40 latitude it becomes an Arctic Cyclone hence ex / former /recently separated hurricane , as it got a devorce from having a name in the process, as arctic cyclones are not normaly named

yea and there still classed as light aircraft and fall under the same regulations

it depends on the system environment , if your writing code to be used by a multi-thread o/s environment where use is discuraged as fearlessly as when you writing stand alone code for a embeded stand alone system where use of such can be expected , the other is the use of global vars

from what i recall , it does not defy the laws of physics , it uses a traveling em wave to crate "grip" to the static universal em background field
, this method provides thrust from input power by creating a traveling wave that is out of phase to the external one causing motion , like swimming through the background field using the background field to displace it like a phase drive motor , just that its too easy to miss in the maths

As I see it, it expands like a bubble of air, as it grows, like its in a pot of hot water, the space inside containing fragments of, the stuff outside as it grows, black holes.

all to often on stories like this they have not been shown the different options , kool :)

Who says they don't want the extra KDE look an feel settings , because there old and can't cope with style or is that the impression you give them because they may not understand how to protect against unwanted infections that you think they have no appreciation of style ?

a few years back it was the case that you had to fiddle about setting the drivers up to get things to work in linux.

but have to say its now xp that you find your still hunting for disks, to install the driver yet again because, the device is plugged into a different usb port than the last time.
yea there are still a few devices that don't work in linux but not many.
system admin mostly automatic now needing almost no attention
the main reason i find linux better is from the admin and setup point of view

with linux
  normally a 2 hour install including updates and most of the apps and the system is back pritty much as before usualy without disrupting any
of my previous data

with windows
maybe a couple of hours backing up old data first
having to check for viruses on that data
yea it installs in 30 mins , then the week or so hunting for driver disks and applications disks (keycodes on boxes etc )
the last time did it it was 30 or so restarts and a couple of days later that it had managed to get all the updates

i dont know about the rest of you but actually using the apps is more important than having to do sys admin and linux is way better
but i guess the guys at microsoft enjoy it so much that's the way they take you so why the slogan "where do you want to go today " when you know the answer is to the it desk as sys admin is great fun "

solar is one way , but not suitable for cloudy mountain regions where wind or water power may be better suited

patents may be an issue if there expected to manufacture these ( no idea if any of them are covered by patents ) , but not if you do it yourself build not for resale
in that case instructions on how to are more the issue :) free speech

they would need educating on the simple facts like not standing between solar reflectors and the focal point of the reflector
as they would get burned , moving parts should not be touched , and how to use the system
it cant be assumed

because of the intended location of the units also would require the users of it to maintain the system also so would need to be
made aware of the servicing information principles of operation and safety issues of that also

h2 under pressure solution

using helium party balloons placed inside a stronger by slightly smaller bag so it prevents the balloon form bursting under the higher pressure
with a weight applied on top to provide the required pressure

h2 generation under pressure

2 long pipes one 3" drain pipe , one smaller plastic pipe placed inside it h2 electrode inside lower end of smaller diameter tube , and o2 electrode on the outer
the tubes vertical so that the displacement of h2 down the smaller tube will not expose the electrodes at the maximum operating pressure
water supply to keep it topped up

3 stirling engine , may be possible using parts from an old motorbike engine also ,I lack a suitable workshop / machine shop to be able to have a go at that +0 funds
