    Radio Frequencies Help Burn Salt Water: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

    sorry acronym, that would be great, but would violate the 1st law. a system cannot produce energy, no matter how much, and a closed system cannot output more energy than was input. this isn't the best wikipedia entry, but it may be useful for background...

    Radio Frequencies Help Burn Salt Water: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

    even assuming the RF did somehow cause combustion of the hydrogen, the heat energy released in the burning of hydrogen could not exceed the energy required to separate the water into hydrogen and oxygen, accounting for losses in the electricity and RF production. the energy required to deliver...

    Radio Frequencies Help Burn Salt Water: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

    this is just dissociation of the water, then "burning" the hydrogen released. problem is, the energy required to obtain the hydrogen (electricity production, generating RF radiation) is much larger than the energy released by burning it. however, it may be useful as a more efficient...

    they can debate the details and laws and agency acronyms, but in the end it's just yet another swindle. was there ever any doubt this would eventually end up on the taxpayer's tab? wasn't that the point of it all along?

    Republican Senator Larry Craig of Idaho Arrested For Lewd Conduct in Men's Room

    good thing we have "family values." faith-based initiatives. prayer in schools. thank the lord the gays can't get married, they'd ruin that fine institution. look at it from their side - if the GOP closet homosexuals have to scurry around looking for action in mens rooms, everybody else...

    Zeitgeist

    Bronks - If you are interested in exploring further, one place to start is with Joseph Campbell, who wrote extensively on comparative mythology. Particularly interesting is that there are a great number of parallels, and outright identical elements, between myths and religious stories of...

    Bernanke Is Clueless

    neither is it their job to deliberately set up rules that can only lead to bubbles and exaggerated speculation, or to pass laws that benefit their special interest donators at the expense of the public, or to engage in profligate spending and staggering debt creation. but they do it anyway...

    "People are smart" - Ridiculous Ditech slogan

    sure, it makes sense, appealing to the ignorant and intellectually lazy as their target market. my first thought was along a pop-psychology praise/reassurance angle. sort of like the authority figures going on oprah to proclaim that, yes, every loser in the audience is misunderstood and...

    Protecting your capital from medical collection agencies

    whether it's a clusterf**k depends on point of view. like all systems with significant government intervention and control, it results in massive wealth transfer from the US citizen. but it's good for the transferees. and there are many levels of them, each skimming off a piece. the...
