I'm curious how much energy that would actually require. Wouldn't the size of the ocean and pressure actually factor in as well? Since you're only having to push a portion of the water uphill... You do make a good point about not poisoning the fresh water supply, but again I'm curious how much water you would have to…

Fully expect Las Vegas Sands (et al.) to build a big tunnel from the Pacific Ocean to funnel in some water for a desalination plant located just north of Vegas in some crappy area so water can flow freely to the Vegas strip... Kinda wonder how deep the inlet would need to be for a gravity flow pump free system...…

I'm still all about brightness and those bulbs are still crazy expensive! I need 1500 to 1750 lumen LED bulbs that are no larger then a standard incandescent OR the "small/slim" CFLs. Maybe in new houses there's no need for more then a 60 or 70 watt because there are so many fixtures, but in an older house with just…

I'm still very surprised they can ship this stuff around the world... I guess I can kinda understand guns when broken down into a lot of different parts and maybe even then hidden into real objects... still you run the risk of a random XRAY and wouldn't the mailings be traceable? Unless you're coming from a shit-hole…

Wow, ok, so apparently not a big deal AT ALL. It's drained twice a year anyway just for the hell of it for cleaning AND the spring cleaning drain was done 3 weeks ago.... so that water does build up fairly fast, or they don't have an issue taking it from surrounding rivers. Also, it's slated to be rebuilt underground…

how many seeds are included in my packet? I would like to calculate the profit being made on these and then may need to contact the Russians...

I don't think they're really worried about the condition their body would be in if successfully reanimated... Considering that some have opted to just having their head frozen... The big issue is damage to the cells from ice crystals. While they do cool the person fairly rapidly and replace fluid with a medical grade…

Honestly this was driving me insane. My 89 year old grandpa had finally "mastered" (read: felt comfortable) with XP as of a couple years ago and almost never needed my help any more. He also was super concerned over security and ran Norton plus all the anti spy/virus stuff I installed when I set it up. He also updated…

A Merc stealing a Merc... I kinda expected a crappy old van to house the carjackers... Business must be good

Just guessing here, but I think I know the reason why people like their "standard old boring" bulbs... Those LEDs are dim as hell compared to other bulbs!! Call me when that same sized LED bulb is producing ~1650 lumens, then I'll buy it, even if it's $20.

Or is it lose them in your account and then "oh crap part of bankruptcy is turning over all our assets so maybe I'll just "find" this money before that happens..."

So the thing only has 7 times more pixels then my 50 inch screen? I know everything needs to be considered, but these people aren't sitting like 700 feet away from it, are they?

Using Mega right now for it's free storage to archive podcast episodes. There is an annoying trend for podcasts to only offer the last 10 or 100 episodes for free and then the rest go into a pay vault. I really don't want to have to pay for something that was free six months ago or last year or something. I'm quickly…

I haven't had a chance to read to full docs yet, but I'm very curious as to what they're banning. Any single use 21 oz and less plastic bottle? Only those filled with water? What counts as water? Could smart water just be called "Sports Drink" and get around the ban? Could adding just mint or berry essence (no…

I wonder if simply including the serial number in your will would have been enough to prove to Apple.

Well that was creepy... My brain was trying to pick out the English words but nothing was working. I could tell the words were fake with some of the "popular" languages but the cadence and tone were very close.

While I probably wouldn't feel safe with someone that just hit 60 hrs I would love to just do a sightseeing/photography flight and $50 or something for a couple hours would be a heck of a lot better then rates from a commercial company. I figure most the pilots would be pretty damn cool to chat with and get to know…

I kinda agree, but, what you're selling here more then anything else is yourself and your team. I know a lot of people think KickStarter is about the products/services (and it is to a point) but it's also hugely about who is behind those. When there are so many unknowns you want confidence in the people behind it,…

Well I like the idea and potential. I don't like the team of "kids" trying to put it together. Maybe they've got the stuff to do it, but that video had way to many "um's", "kinda like", "uh, I think" in it to give me confidence in the teams ability to see a project from start to finish with some kind of responsible…

There's very little chance these heists are resulting in wildly rich groups, right? I mean if you steal $800k or $400 million or something and try to cash it all out right away that exchange is going to freeze transactions and review their books...
