Note that a Glossary is a good idea if, and only if, the terms are put into the context of the Polywell. For instance, somebody can look up the term Maxwellian Distribution, and this might not give them any idea what the pertinence was when used in conjunction with the discussion of the Polywell. A ...

The bright boys at MIT seem to have a solution: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 ... 153408.htm

You have the essence of my argument, yes. The Joe McCarthy post was in response to the quote in the post previous to it from Gary Graham, who intimated that the liberal bias is a slippery slope to communism emerging in the US. "Worldwide, I’ve seen Liberalism metastasize into virulent incarnations o...

The president elect is being advised to loosen secrecy and immigration policies for scientists: http://www.newsdaily.com/stories/tre507 ... y-science/

Not sure whether, if this is implemented, it would have any effect on the secrecy surrounding Polywell. Interesting, nonetheless.

As for the Y2K bug, I'm not at liberty to describe my exact observations of the event. No, the world did not end. But if you think it went by smoothly, that's because a lot of people like me were up all that night trying to make it look that way. I will recall that 24 hours til the day I die.

Mike

Maybe we should ask...

Arclein, before we vote, what precisely in your estimation constitutes a skunk work for this purpose?

Or are you asking what makes sense for one, indirectly?

Mike

As I said, I'd read about the birth certificate issue, at least to some extent. The one that I really had heard nothing about, and was asking for links regarding, was the license suspension issue. Or do these links also include that?

Mike

Beware the slippery slope!!!

Joseph McCarthy's shade does not yet rest.

Oh well...

Mike

I'm guessing he means a government funded site (probably somwhere in the New Mexico desert) where lots of secret experiements are carried out... the romantic view of the skunkworks.

Mike

I think that your math is a bit spurious, as is most on this subject. But, if we assume it's correct, it's not something to make any conclusions about. Your paper would be rejected if you did not have at least a P.05 certainty, statistically. It's a hypothesis at this point, hardly tested. Discovery...

IIRC the Mayan ages always end with something like a world-destroying flood or earthquake, and we're facing the same sort of thing in 2012, according to their reckoning. What really interests me is that there are obscuritan Christian cults who have caught on to this, and use numerology to confirm th...

There has, apparently, been some real progress, but the details are quite obscure at this point. Most of what you might need to know can be found in this thread: http://www.talk-polywell.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=965 Note that there is considerable political debate in the thread, so you'll have to pick...

Oh, I believe that people think this is a problem. You're not alone. But I think it's just more fear-mongering. The sky is falling because people in the media have a liberal tendency. I'm not seeing it. Fortunately for me, I think that radical ideas for altering the system will not be adopted. Compl...

Um... Perk... Huffington was, at one point a Republican (married to one, at least, even if he did turn out to be bisexual), and spouted conservative rhetoric. Then she did an abrupt left turn, you're right, but I'm old enough to recall her conservative days. Some might say she's politically complex,...

The dubious part is the overall benefit. That is, if one hundred lives are saved by the deterrent effect, but one thousand lives are lost because of accidents or crimes that would be less lethal had the perpetrator not had a gun, is it a net benefit? I think that the lives lost to GSW in the US is s...
