How about we just get rid of timezones and everyone use GMT/UTC/Zulu/whatever-you-want-to-call-it? Do we really need timezones anymore?

Yeah, it's fall for me when the temperature finally falls below 90 and stays there.

Yes: every MPAA and RIAA anti-piracy case in existence.

I never said that silica was the only material to make aerogels out of. I said that aerogels are usually made of silica, and silica aerogel is still the most common type used today. And I never said that CNTs can never be in a gel, I said they are never in a gel. And actually, after I went out and actually looked around to be sure of myself, it looks like I might be wrong, and someone might have already made a true CNT aerogel using critical-point drying: http://www.physics.upenn.edu/yodhlab/papers/2007/AdvMat_2007.pdf

Apparently, as far back as 2007, some researchers, using single- and few-wall carbon nanotubes in a suspension, used critical-point drying to create a true CNT aerogel. The aerogel was fragile by itself, but they were able to reinforce it with polyvinyl alcohol so that it could hold up to 8000 times its own weight.

They still don't make aerogel out of carbon nanotubes. Very lightweight, strong masses of carbon nanotubes (which look and feel similar to aerogel) are never in a "gel" state, and are therefore not really aerogel. Therefore, the article, which states "aerogel contains multi-walled carbon nanotubes," is wrong.

Oh, and BTW, "superconducting capacitor" is not the same thing as "ultracapacitor." An ultracapacitor, as you said, often uses carbon in various forms (graphene, carbon aerogel (not carbon nanotube aerogel!), carbon nanotubes, or even activated carbon) and can hold kilojoules. A superconducting capacitor, by definition, would involve the use of superconductors, and might theoretically hold somewhere on the order of terajoules.

Aerogel is usually formed from silica gel, or sometimes from a sort of carbon fiber paper. The material that the article talks about, which is an airy mass of carbon nanotubes produced by vapor deposition is not an aerogel. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerogel#Carbon

Actually, Switzerland is a direct democracy. In some cantons, voting is even compulsory. Any citizen can call a referendum on any law. In addition, parties aren't nearly as strong as they are in the US. If there ever was a "real" democracy on this earth, I think that'd be it.

That's just wrong. If I order my phone to self-destruct, it better damn well self-destruct!

...only outlaws will have flash drives. After all, if you're going to leak sensitive information, and you get caught, you're going to get much worse than a court-martial. I think the directive will end up doing more harm than good.

Agreed. There are at least 25 people who've done it, maybe a lot more. Here's a guide to the whole process if you want to do it yourself: http://brian-mcdermott.com/fusion_is_easy.htm

Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but the internet makes me smarter. (So long as I stay away from Facebook and I Can Haz Cheezburger.)

Article 11, paragraph 2 of the Moon Treaty states:
"The moon is not subject to national appropriation by any claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means."
Of course, England hasn't signed or ratified the Moon Treaty, so it all kinda depends on the international reaction whether or not his claim is valid.

...it's hacked in a month. Probably wouldn't be too hard, either. Just run the current OS in a controlled environment to figure out what makes it so special, then make a Linux distro to duplicate that. Install the new distro on the hard drive through a regular computer, then transplant into the PS3.

Amen. Everything that can't be put on a list like this, including details of a treaty in the works that could severely hurt our freedom, should be made open.

A lot of todays "young people" somehow find classical music boring. This, I do not understand. Boring is listening to the exact same riff or chord over and over and over throughout an entire song without any variation. Classical music might do the same theme many times throughout a piece, but it's usually varied every time. Bach, for example, would take one theme and vary it a step at a time until it turned into a completely different theme.
