Distilling 2.0: Bye-Bye Boiling, Hello Health Care

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 09/05/2008
Great stuff going on at Caltech! And about water distillation: Setting up large solar power plants close to the ocean can make both electricity and fresh water. A simple setup with many mirrors tracking the sun and pointing at a large tank that has sea w … (see comment)

"Not to be a socialist at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at thirty is proof of want of head." Georges Clemenceau (1841-1929) Most Digg users are under 30. (see comment)

We're Going with The Rumor: Sarah Palin is not Trig's mother

Comment in News (11 diggs, 7 replies) - on 08/31/2008
Don't you guys realize that by supporting this crap you are in the end going to elevate McCain/Palin to victory? This stuff is nonsense! Likely a Rovian plot to make the left look stoopid. (see comment)

McCain's Palin Pick: Manifestly Unserious

Comment in News (-1 diggs, 1 reply) - on 08/31/2008
I'm not commenting as a supporter of either Obama or McCain. I just call em as I see em. Unless something really dramatic happens you will indeed see McCain taking the oath of office!. And that in spite of the fact that a dem should be walking away wit … (see comment)

McCain's Palin Pick: Manifestly Unserious

Comment in News (-6 diggs, 4 replies) - on 08/31/2008
When Palin was chosen as VP McCain won the election. Just watch the polls, and also remember that Obama would have to be up by probably 8 points to assure a victory on election day (Bradley effect). The polls will settle out a few weeks after the Republi … (see comment)

Forgotten history: The true origins of the PC

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 08/09/2008
It is amazing what people were able to do with such equipment. I program microcontrollers in C and asm and that is comparable to those old systems, but on a single tiny sm chip. The smallest I work with is an 8 bit one that costs 55 cents and runs at 20mh … (see comment)

Forgotten history: The true origins of the PC

Comment in News (3 diggs, 0 replies) - on 08/09/2008
I'd love to see those old logic boards that were a system 360 on a single board. I know someone that used to program the 360. He still had a little oblong green booklet that had all the assembly language codes listed...he gave it to me as a sort of antiqu … (see comment)

Senator Barack Obama No Longer Favors Slashing NASA's Budget

Comment in News (0 diggs, 0 replies) - on 08/07/2008
Glad he changed his mind on this. Seems to me that we should have kept the Saturn 5 program active, and skipped the shuttle altogether. The Saturn 5 would be a great booster for Mars expeditions I think...now we are spending a ton of money to design a ne … (see comment)

Great article! FPGA chips are really amazing... I am planning on working with some as soon as I get the time. The article says "There is concern that a dormant "gene" in a medical system or flight control program might express itself without warning, sen … (see comment)

'Battlestar Galactica': Ed James Olmos directing Cylon movie

Comment in News (0 diggs, 0 replies) - on 08/07/2008
Olmos is the best actor doing TV today..IMO. It is his acting that keeps me watching BG so intently. It's amazing how Olmos with his pock-marked and well seasoned face is sexier than the pretty boys on BG...at least to me. He is sexier now than he was 26y … (see comment)

New Gear to Boost Space Station Population

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 08/06/2008
Too bad we don't have some sort of magnetic rail launcher to send small payloads into orbit...if we did we could send plenty of water to the station. It might also be possible to put small and rugged payloads into orbit with a large enough cannon. Here i … (see comment)

picture of bullet proof polizie BRA!

Comment in Images (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 08/06/2008
Looks like any other ordinary, run-of-the-mill, ugly sports bra to me. I suppose it won't matter if your bust looks good in it since how good could you look with a bullet-proof vest on anyway. (see comment)

Micron Unveils the fastest SSD ever - 250MB/s !

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 08/06/2008
That's MTBF for the drive as a whole...I'm wondering how many times a particular group of bytes in the flash can be rewritten before they have to be marked as bad. In the microcontrollers I program I get about 100,000 writes to flash before the bytes go b … (see comment)

I'd just have to go into that thing if I saw it on the beach...even tho I'm not Catholic. Imagine some wino stumbling in off the beach...sits down in a pew just as a big gust of wind picks up the thing and sails it several miles out to sea before landing … (see comment)
