...because of the development model.

They fail because there was not enough though put in up front and the requirements are vague.

If you are speaking E-Cat. Yes.

If you are speaking LENR, then we should just let the research take it's course and not kill it out of some prejudice of some kind

I should clarify: "This" is LENR, not the E-cat.

Which is why I said not to conflate, confuse, the two.

Rossi's failure to provide a machine freely for examination is a sure sign he's doctoring something.

I think it would be just as foolish to dismiss this outright, considering the " tantalizing hints that there may be something to it" and the developing theories as it would be to start dumping your life savings into Rossi's company.

Don't conflate a charlatan with the science. NASA is still looking at this.

I do not pay for bugs.

This guy is a prick.

And you are not far behind.

How many times has Microsoft broken everyone's code with one of their updates?
How many times has someone's code been broken by some other app dicking around with things it shouldn't?
How many times has some idiot administrator broken code by fucking with security?
How many times has someone's code been broken by a DBA changing shit in the database?
How many times has someone's code been broken by the user jacking around with it and deleting stuff they shouldn't be messing with?
How many times has someone's code been broken by viruses, malware, etc?
How many times has someone's code been broken because the user changes the OS?
How many times has code been called broken because the user didn't know exactly what they needed and genius here didn't bother to catch it?

You can write perfect code and there are legions of ways it can be "broke" by others in ways you can't and/or shouldn't anticipate.

What is this? History Channel's Deadliest Warrior episode?

Nice.

Everyone knows that the Aliens built those.

Nice.

I'd like some Italian dressing with that.

Remember...treat a spear like it's ALWAYS sharp.

That's because they wanted people to keep their spear disassembled when not in use. So when a Sabertoothed Tiger came into your cave, you would have had to ask it to wait while you tied the pointy rock to the end. And before you start, short pointy sticks are only good against other cavemen.

The Romain Empire used concrete extensively, even hydraulic cement (cures under water).

After the Empire fell, they went back to building with rocks.

...rocks with rules scratched into them regarding Spear Control.
