Instead of random text, misuse an AI system to create a fake (and wrong) article about something. Keep adding to the library of fake articles. many layers of what looks like valuable training information that actually is misinforming the AI being trained by the robot crawler. This makes it very difficult to automate a process to reject these 'nasty' sites. Get a nerd social network (slashdot/Imgur/even FB) to have us nerds vying to create more and more outrageous articles, sharing them and adding them to peoples malicious libraries. If it goes viral, you could drop the robots in their tracks!

But we can still use the Mandrill, right?

Exactly the same effect as the eye drops, but instant. I have replaced all my incandescent bulbs with 100 watt equivalent (13 watt) daylight (5500K) bulbs and it works wonderfully!!

I am not convinced this is real just because the author says it is. The motions of the arm look too complex for the mechanism that surrounds the shoulder. Particularly, the hydraulic or pneumatic piston that seems to both lift the arm and extend the forearm. This is a terrible placement (mechanically) for a reliable/useful/accurate linkage. The video is literally incredible and unbelievable.

My Dad loved classical music and already had a big collection on tape when this came out. He got a Walkman and walked around all day with the headphones on. Every time Mom was about to say something to him she saw the headphones and refrained. It wasn't until weeks later that we kids found out he had no batteries in the Walkman.

Yes, I immediately thought of the Glomar Explorer and Howard Hughes when I read the title.

This article is wrong on so many levels it's not funny. Go to http://www.teslamotors.com/pow... and you will see that the Tesla home batteries are NOT low voltage. Efficient inverters are way cheaper than rewiring and relamping a house. Silly story.

The 1620 was an all digital machine built of discrete transistors. As an undergraduate, we wrote programs that caused the machine to alternate between two loops at a variable rate. The computer radiated so many harmonics that this could be heard all across the AM band where no strong station existed. We programmed it to play (mostly) classical music, "Flight of the Bumblebee" was the perennial favorite. Any truly all digital transmitter will generate harmonics outside of the allowable FCC band, so at the very least they need a really good analog bandpass filter on the output.

I have an 80+ year old Atmos torsion pendulum mantel clock. It never needs winding, it harvests energy from atmospheric pressure changes (or temperature changes). Air pressure in a sealed can will run the clock for a week on just a 2F degree swing in ambient temperature.

The paper you reference is a year old, criticizing an earlier paper. The recent publication describes recent tests which directly address most of those criticisms,

Good article with some believable numbers. But when transmitting 100 kW at 85% efficiency, you have to wonder what is happening to 15 kW of magnetic field. Where is it going, who is it affecting? Will my fillings heat up, or my cochlear implant overload if I am near by?

This has 512 m^2 solar array, incoming sun at directly overhead is roughly 1 kW / m^2, assume solar panel efficiency of 15%. This is a total power of about 76 kW or about 100 HP when the sun is directly overhead. Averaged over a 24 hour day, this is maybe 20-25 HP. 89,000 kg of lithium battery at 200 Wh / kg is 17.8 MWh. This would take 234 hours to charge with the sun directly overhead. That is about 40 days of clear sky charging, assuming you are not running the propeller at the same time. Something is fishy here. Sounds like he charges in port, then runs to the next port on solar plus battery (otherwise there is no need for this large battery / solar cell ratio). Then he repeats. Is my math wrong, or is this story a bit strange?
