New Reactor Placement

The most obvious place to put new reactors will be co-locating them on the grounds of existing coal and nuclear power plants. Coal operators can justify it to themselves based on not having to install mercury/arsenic/CO2 scrubbers and reducing their operating expenses by not needing to buy coal and ...

In the military you swear subordination, not mindless obedience. In voting on politics most people do not do their own homework, but more or less vaguely base themselves on what their party's PR feeds them. I fail to see the difference between mindfully and mindlessly being obedient. As either way ...

Kind of like the socialists? Yes... Like the military, the largest socialist organization in the country. OTOH, we tried outsourcing military functions to capitalistic private armies in the past. The Pinkertons (who were larger than the standing Army of the US at the time) and more recently Blackwa...

Some thoughts on CNS Preservation

Consider using a sperm analogue to deliver new nuclear and mitochondrial material to cells of the nervous system (or any human cells in the body, skip the bacterial cells). On cell penetration look at using the same mechanism that eggs do to prevent penetration by multiple sperm. Or creating a mecha...

Cloud Insecurity

Most of the hype about "security" is about access, IIRC. The "cloud" allows access anywhere, and redundancy means you're less likely to loose data to hardware failure. I take it you're talking about hype from a positive perspective. That being the cloud service provider is going to provide a level ...

"The Cloud" as a marketing concept

The "cloud" is the idea of utilizing existing computer resources in a meaningful and efficient way. It's all about utilizing idle cycles and memory. Somehow I don't believe that the marketeers pushing the concept of "The Cloud" would include Folding@Home or Seti@Home in their definition. Nor would ...

Appropriate preventive measures - lol

Multiple times in the past the entire Internet (or extremely large swathes of it) have been brought down either by fat fingers or ignorance when an ISP has "blackholed" the Internet. Effectively what occurred is that the operator broadcast that they had the shortest path to every route in the Intern...

Polywell Manufacturing

My understanding is that the current Polywell's have been produced using hand machining and that this takes some time. That is not to say that it would take that same amount of time should a commercial design be developed and more sophisticated manufacturing techniques used. So, thinking ahead, it w...

Kiteman's design suggestions

Here are your design suggestions from your Oct 21st, 2011 posting in this thread: The first thing that Dr. B. wanted to do after the more robust WB6 (that got called WB7) was to try a square plan-form version of WB6/7. I personally think that it would be beneficial to make it a bowed square plan-for...

@Choff - Not sure why you would think I wouldn't accept that that level of corruption exists given that I've already pointed out the huge level of corruption in the Mexican government.
