In China, Bangladesh, India, Nigeria, and so on, the cost of paying for the death of a worker is generally cheap in respect to the value of the manufactured product. In case of death respected factories do pay sums that for the families are pretty large and will normally cover all the exspenses to r...

In fact, with the higher rate you could probably get, less for health insurance(can you imagine how much it would cost to insure a system like that), and less in wages, you'd probably be getting larger orders that would help justify the system even more. Health insurance and wages issues in China??...

It's not difficult but expensive. Consider that unless you have a machine dedicated to make the same piece (or a very similar one) over and over for years, authomatization is just not convenient yet in countries like China. A robotic hand can go from 100K to several hundred thousand US$ once install...

The machine dimensions are not the important factor in hydraulic presses, it is the pressing force (expressed in Tons) that determines the type of machine that will be used. The machine in your link is a primary forming, meaning that the raw metal is formed to the primary shape of the final product....

It's just a standard hydraulic press, they do not have specific names. These type of companies normally work on a specific item only for few days and than they simply change the mould to manufacture different parts for a different customer. This is why is not economical for them to automate it. Here...

Betruger, while I do understand your point of view I do not find it correct.
In the way I see it what EMC2 is doing is eroding their credibility.

Anyhow, the choice was of Ladajo and he choosed to wait, so there is really nothing more to discuss about until 2011.

Copenhagen Suborbitals!

This has nothing to do with Polywell, but is so inspiring that it deserves to be posted here:

Plausible cause isn't evidence. And even if they decide to go back on their word, implied or explicit, to publicly signal success come "two years", so what? It's their business. A bunch of guys on the internet who don't know you or your motivations serving you an FOIA headache because they think yo...

America is scared of herself, and does not know anymore what its role is in today's world. It has been like this since the dawn of the Russian block. Politicians, religious extremists and bureaucrats of the last 20 years (left/right/whatever) just took turns in biting away America's foundations and ...

Quite old video, I remember seeing it from at least 4-5 years, so it's probably older than that.

If you really want to get scared try researching some video about Indian or Chineese workers in the Pigments Industry. It's much much scarier....

I am often amazed at the degree of utility with the English language demonstrated by you and Skipjack. Most of the time it never occurs to anyone that you both aren't native speakers. Sometimes Just for fun, When debating things with Skipjack I would intentionally use peculiar and obscure words jus...

What you call trade secrets are just mere indications that a process is developing according or against proposed hypothesis. I think if that were true, we would still be seeing data. The fact we're not seems to me evidence that they have happened upon discoveries that need to be protected from at t...

I have to agree with GIThruster on this one Johan.

Keep it as much neutral as possible.
Smart people reading the book will understand. Close minded one will not understand anyhow so, why bother?

Ladajo version is a good base to work on.
