NAT is NOT a firewall. Meaning that you haven't hid anything and you are not secure. Also NAT is a huge reason why IPSec doesn't work. It breaks the internet.

NAT is not a firewall. Guessing IPs behinds NATs is easy. IPv6 has much better solutions.

Only in the US. Where it is mostly just a self fulfilling prophecy.

I would argue not only is that IQ as it is currently measured is worthless as it does not measure what it set out to. But also that the fundamental assumption behind it is also flawed.

Sometimes yes. You don't want a surgeon that is not at least bit focused on the result. Or a bridge engineer.

Yea, in China its perfectly ok to shoot your neighbors Dinosaur with a gun in a fantasy story.

Criticize the Government... not so much.

No, but a lot of peoples reaction to the event will.

the show has always been and always will be dumbed down. Name one episode that isn't. While at least blowing shit up is fun.

I have worked with this data. Its very short fragments and are far from complete. Hell even modern genomes are far from complete. We know that DNA is simply not long term stable unless preserved at very cold temperatures. Temperatures that just have not been around on earth for that long in a single location.

No you can't. There is entropy change pulling salt out of the water, that is the free energy of a system with a pile of salt and some fresh water is higher than with the two mixed. You must provide that energy. It turns out that energy is quite a bit and the pressure from the tides is not enough. Unless your reverse osmosis membrane has a min pressure across it, it won't work. Also you don't go as far as salt crystals because you need even more energy as the salt concentration increases. Thus you dump brine (extra salty sea water) back into the ocean.

Run the numbers and you'll see why it doesn't work any better. In particular the condensing side of things.

Reverse Osmosis also has problems with the filters clogging. Larger plants use flash evaporation. This can use low grade waste heat from a power station.

Low level waste is just that. Its stuff that may have some very low induced activity, typically from some exposure to neutrons. Most of the activity is gone after a few hours and almost all after a year or two. Activity is often so low you don't need special handling equipment.

This NOTHING like spent fuel waste.

Only to a gamma Nazi. Guess how intellectual you are coming across.

Yea, all he does is take a few 10s to 100M dollars and turn it into 500M or more. Sure glad i don't have to share an office with that loser!

So your saying your idea of intellectualism is star trek? Your not as intellectual as you think you are. The old star trek was hardly intellectual, unless you are 5.
