Comment Re:Helium? (Score 2) 429

I don't know a lot of about fusion, but I've read Helium is a byproduct of fusion reactions. Once these things start getting run more and more, will we be able to harvest the helium generated to stave off the coming shortages?

Yes, you have a cursory understanding.

What people don't understand is that continuing this fusion for power kick will drastically alter ambient helium levels, and with that, the pitch of our voices! To answer your question, not only will shortages be reversed, but exponentially so, and to the detriment of our manliness.

After rereading your message I'm convinced it was meant to be tongue in cheek funny. Who has six devices? My cell, my kindle, my ipad, my laptop, and my TWO pagers. Or twenty year ago a 15 pound laptop, 5 pound phone (with a battery bigger then that in the 787s gone bad) and four pagers.

You probably glow in the dark.

You're an exemplification of inbreeding. My point wasn't that devices.effect.the plane, just that a perfect flight is not proof that nothing occurred. Maybe if your reading comprehension surpassed that of a turnip, you'd have understood what I meant.

Christ, how does this Anonymous Coward guy post funny shit sometimes and others he's an ignorant twat. ;-)

This is plus two? I left my shit on and I'm alive so that's proof that electronics don't interfere with the radio or instruments? Maybe the copilots radar altimeter went wonky due to you and you only were saved from potential disaster because autopilot was fed from the captain's instruments?

Your statement is less then meaningless. Nothing very well may have happend and and very likely didn't, but maybe you added one link to a causality chain which could have occured, but did not.

Through most of human history, being plump was considered attractive. Food was hard enough to come by that most people were thin. Being fat meant you were well fed, and thus affluent. So people considered obesity to be attractive, thinness to be unattractive. The reversal came about only when average productivity increased to where nearly everyone could afford all they wanted to eat, and affluence was exhibited via other ways - like luxury cars, designer suits/dresses, rolex watches, Apple products, and current-gen 3D video cards. Well ok, maybe not the last one quite yet.

This is still true among North Koreans. Being told you have lost weight is considered an insult - that you're poor.

Is it unreasonable to do an honest analysis of the real risks of terrorism against the security measures that our government is putting in place?

No, it's damned reasonable. So reasonable the president himself was saying we need an evaluation of what's happening.

He, however, was unwilling to provide any detail, leaving that sort of discussion relegated to the paranoid, and the people probably selling, buying or using this info-arsenal (think that's as good of term as any).

Snowden helped out there, and overall I think his revelations helped America more than they harmed.

Obama had no clue how open of a discussion would be going on.
