Re: Is the ABSENCE of news, news?
in a world of increasingly more violent storms and flooding. I like science fiction too. The big worry is not the world warming but the opposite, getting colder. The good news is that with higher CO2 levels, plants will do better in a cooling climate than they would have otherwise. With such an exp...

Re: Is the ABSENCE of news, news?
When they start clearing trees and farming in Greenland again then we can say it's warmed up as much as a thousand years ago. Why yes, that's a great idea! We'll just wait until it's so totally obvious that even the idiots can't deny that climate patterns have changed. Really though, just keep an e...

Re: Some guy at Google likes this
It's still a shame that he hasn't provided ANY money (to my knowledge) towards the development of the Polywell given the potential benefits overall and direct benefits to Google given the huge power requirements of their data centers and of the Internet in-toto that they depend upon for their revenu...

A shame he couldn't see his way to supporting Dr. Bussard over six years ago.

What I see Diogenes is that you are projecting inappropriate evangelical interpretations of people's behaviors onto non-evangelicals and your poor deluded mind can't step outside to see or accept another perspective. Seeing as how I have read DailyKos on regular basis for the last decade I'm sure I ...

Re: How Republicans Lost The Election
No. One that reports news which is damaging to Democrats. You know, like Benghazi, like Fast and Furious, like the Inspector General Scandal, like the Dealergate Scandal, the Green Energy Boondoggle wastes, The Obama Illegal immigrant relatives, the 1.5 billion dollars of family travel expenses, Th...

No, Diogenes, "Your Bush Halo pictures all come from the same source" Not at all. I've linked to the first four from the same site because they happened to have been aggregated there. That doesn't mean that they originated there. Googling my images for an exact match results in: 6 1/2 pages of links...

The repocrats lost because they were not honest enough with themselves to realize that a lot of their bedrock wouldn't vote for a Morman. Personally I wouldn't vote for any POG candidate. Thus I voted Communist Obama over Theocon Keyes in 2004. Communist Obama... If he were a communist then He woul...

Ladajo, I've never said that producing fissile material was easy. In fact I've said "I'll accept that a nuclear weapons program is expensive". And the resources required to produce a weapon are quite substantial. So we're in violent agreement on that part. You were arguing that there were additional...

Possibly Dan is thinking of when the Israelis bombed the Iraqi Osirak nuclear reactor?

Ladajo, Perhaps some given assumptions would be in order. The entity building the weapons is intending to actually use them within a period of months after having fabricated sufficient quantity of devices thus eliminating the need for a command and control infrastructure and significant ongoing main...

Dude. Weapons grade material does not magically pop out of the ground or fall from the sky. You have to make it. You also have to be able to assemble it into a usefull device. Making a small enough weapon that can be mounted to a rocket or artillery shell is not easy. Easy or not easy. Feasible. An...

NIF has always been a weapons research project. Just not the type of weapons you're thinking about. With the signing of the Comprehensive Test Ban treaty we needed methods to ensure that our nukes were still reliable and also a potential means of designing and testing new nukes virtually. http://en....
