Tunnel borers that are self-contained chemical refineries. Starships made of stainless steel that readily convert to silo tanks. Seems like the thinking is already there.

Please sign the petition over at Whitehouse.gov to get the US to act in getting the Japanese government to allow US/UN assistance in cleaning up the spent fuel pools. This is an urgent need.

...it will forever be stuck at the level of a retarded 8 year old. Or the level of a normal 4-chan user.

Yes, but it is immoral for government officials to encourage people to commit crimes, it is called entrapment and is illegal in the United States. Surely, the feds do this on a regular basis.

Is anyone else a bit frightened that the Guangdong plant picture shows what looks to be simple trusses and corrugated aluminum siding over the turbine section, where others use poured concrete and I-beams?

Did they skimp on anything else, I wonder?

Uuh, actually it's possible. Ron Paul. Look him up. He told us it would be tough but Americans don't like bearer of bad news.

PET scanning uses radioisotope Beta decay to Neutron, Neutrino and Positron, Positron -> Electron annihilation -> Gamma -> detection.

This is using an existing source of positrons, beta radiation.

The non-trivial stuff is making anti-atoms. That's quite difficult.

Eeeh, maybe because the title of this discussion is about Murdoch who owns Fox?

I see, so when the Iranians protested the election results and exposing the criminal gangster regime for its crimes a month ago, the US government criticized Ahmadinejad for infringing on people's freedom of expression. Now that the USMC wants to disrupt social networking site access for its employees (read "slaves"), the explanation is called "security concerns". This is so typical of our gangster government. The only difference between the US and Iranian governments is that the Iranian government doesn't put an extra effort to cover up its illegitimacy.

Not to worry, every welfare system is doomed to eventually collapse. Look at the Soviet Union - the whole system was welfare, everybody was on welfare. It collapsed.
Liberty and free markets are the only long-lasting and sustainable system where people depend on themselves or voluntary contributions of other people. It will take long time for humanity to unequivocably come to this conclusion but it is just a matter of time before they do. Truth will always prevail, and when we discuss economic systems the truth is that liberty, capitalism, and free markets are the best system to take care of the maximum number of people.
I am strong believer in liberty and our time will come, it just takes a while.

Over at Yahoo ( http://tech.yahoo.com/news/ap/20090710/ap_on_hi_te/as_skorea_cyber_attack ) they are reporting that there are only 86 IP addresses causing the outages:

"SEOUL, South Korea -
Cyber attacks that caused a wave of Web site outages in the U.S. and South Korea
used 86 IP addresses in 16 countries, South Korea's spy agency told lawmakers
Friday, amid suspicions North Korea was behind the effort."

Now, I'm a little skeptical that they didn't mean ISP instead of IP, but if it is true that there are only 86 hosts generating this much fanfare, then the network admins should be strung up with cat6 for not just blackholing these punks at the edge router. I guess we get the best govt. IT we can afford, right?

why not let the free market decide what will be the correct MPG? How did Obama determine that 42 is the magic number again?

Really? Whose "economy"? The bankers? Or the people's? Wall Street's? Or Main Street's? From where I look it seems like Main St is pretty f***ed up. And how exactly would "letting them fail" be "harmful"? Dude, you're watching too much Fox and CNBC. Start thinking for yourself. Claiming that an institution is too big to fail is one big step towards elitism and destruction of free markets.
