@TDPerk & @hanleyp... Right on and well said. This is all more about Revenue Streams than IP. They want to "tap in" on this Internet thing; I'm sure an accuser could be paid enough to forgo filing an injunction. It therefore just another form of rent seeking, and isn't about protection against "thef...

Honestly, I'm reading the bill and don't see a problem. It gives the IP owner the right to take legal action against those making illegal use of their IP, and gives the DoJ the authority to demand that search engines, social networking sites and domain name services block access to the targeted sit...

Alcohol is one of the set.

Alcohol is a psychoactive drug for which Society applies heavy negative social sanction for it's use. Society applies heavy sanction against it's sale, but most negative sanction is against it's "leaf node" end users. If you want to reduce drug use "MADD" demands the methods that work; Their primary...

Well, if we ever get lucky enough to have fusion powered engines, we can play cosmic billiards with the Oorth cloud to dump water on the Venetian surface, and maybe bind up the CO2 and impart spin. Ceres and Vesta might have something to offer in a home away from home, if we can tunnel inside them ...

Seriously, though, plausible explanations for what we’ve seen are getting harder to come by I dunno. 470 KW out. 500 KW generator. What happened to the missing 30 KW? Could this be a new source of unlimited energy? Some one should start looking for that 30 KW. It could mean the end of oil. Do I sou...

Good lucks all around.

Good luck to Rossi. Good luck to Uri Geller and Kreskin too. :roll: Lets wish Mills (blacklight power) luck too. Wasn't blacklight power *the exact scenario* we're running through with Rossi now again, except Rossi is a decade behind Mills? Yogi Berra would point out " This is deja vu all over agai...

Thank you.

I think this is a fraud. Moreover I am sure it is. So, parallel, Crawdaddy - don't bother, if you've meant to. I think I got an angle on this, and I must agree with Joseph Chikva here - Defkalion seem to support the fraud, here is how, IMHO: First of all, you know what's going on in Greece? If you ...

Translation: they want the military dependent on over priced under performing energy sources. It's insidious. We have members of congress calling for the military to lean into windmills and solar panels as future energy sources. Why now? There is more of a reckoning force afoot that small modular r...

It ain't over till we see inside Rossi's black box.. Crimony. Mills isn't even done yet. None of this ever goes away. There's still Millsers, flat earthers, Moon landing on a Hollwood sound stage, spoon bend believers, Area 51ers... You name it. I challenge you: name one such fraud which didn't hol...

And... So far there really aren't any planet sized bodies with Earth like atmosphere/magnetosphere. Indoor/underground radiation-shielding volumes that are large enough to feed that instinctive need for open spaces are far enough in the future that it's nowhere near being a consideration in most pe...

I have conjectured when humanity gets ready for planetary-scale engineering it might be useful to relocated Mars and Venus to Earth's Trojan points. Then I remember the orbits may not be stable...Has anyone done the math? Anyway, it's nice to see at least one Trojan point has moons waiting for the ...

But I STILL cannot see the point of conducting such an elaborate hoax, and I also do not believe that that the private individuals and industry interests which fund Rossi and own Defkalion are too stupid to be aware that they are being scammed. I wish there were more credible discussion here of the...
