Comment Hydrogen != Petrol (Score 0, Redundant) 453

One problem I see with that number is that, yes 1300 mpg is impressive, but it's 1300 mpg of hydrogen fuel. The only useful comparison that can be made to current cars is that it'll be ages between each fill-up.

Without doing any research, I have no idea whether 1300 mpg is impressive for hydrogen fuel or not.

Comment My scenario (Score 1) 699

You're going some place weird, my friend. The limit of my Uni's Acceptable Use Policy is that your computer have anti-virus software installed. They don't come round checking though. The only other limitations they have are "no peer-to-peer file sharing", legal or illegal, and no connecting more than one device to a network port because most people can't set that up properly and it annoys them.
I of course regularly wirelessly share my wired internet connection, but it's set up properly. They may be able to detect that I'm doing it, but to be honest, IT Services use the "secret" DC++ file sharing we have going on campus as much as anyone else, so they're not going to care about a little secured ad-hoc wireless network.

Comment Bad timing (Score 1) 356

See, this one seems too serious to be an AF, but at the same time it's kinda plausable. Of course, I haven't really read the article any more than a brief glance to see whether it was obviously an AF.

So the moral of the story is... don't announce anything serious today! Especially if it sounds kinda weird.

Comment Re:gravity boot. (Score 1) 329

The problem with a gravity gun is that it requires a completely new form of ammo, made from one of Earth's most precious natural resources: gravity itself.

So we have to use gravity guns sparingly, else we'll end up floating off into space! Space I tell you! That's where all the Space Sharks live!

Do you want to be eaten by a Space Shark? Didn't think so.
Kids: Say no to gravity guns.
