Comment Re:Dead Sea Desalination Potential (Score 1) 131

I'm not talking about hydropower, I'm talking a new technology. You can desalinate at no cost basically. I am looking for serious interested parties. Of course saline in moist air out is much better than fresh water in moist air out! Of course your suggestion to generate energy from the drop is quite brilliant in itself! ;-)

Submission + - Google Spy? (climatebabes.com)

Iffie writes: Google grabs all posted data of forms on my website. It leads to double entries in the sites db. I think that is spying and intrusion of privacy. I wrote a post about it on my website climatebabes.com. Does it strike you of anybody else as odd that Google inc. could snif at any info anybody enters on you site, without you being informed about it?

Comment Energy density my ass! (Score 1) 183

These metrics are a way to put a barrier up for the alternative energy business. Of course it is possible to generate all energy locally. The 1 dollar per watt myth does not count for coal fired power plants. If you win a race are you going to let an expert tell you your steps per second where under par?

As a former neuroscientist I would say NO. The brain is not build out of static elements, they themselves show dna/rna expression variation due to their own activities and neuromodulation. A fixed system can doe certain processing, but it has to be reconfigurable and have some software oversight to be as flexible as out brains..

You eat organic food because you don't like the methods of food production, not because the food is healthier.They did not tak into account the amount of pecticides kept out of the environment. It is the same line of attack as saying carbon dioxide concentrations are not poisenous.

It you have a patent system then these things will happen. If the patent was granted when the technology didn't exist it is simply a patent that needs to be honoured. imho this is actually a very valid claim, as sombody is actually making money out of the idea. Questioning the patent system in general is another matter. That would make enourmous sens because many patents are granted that either make no sense or where in the public domain..

This is a dream technology. I'm a former neuroscientist and I can tell you this is the ultimate in behavioural change tools. They will make a less precise portable version. - Deviant people, simply ablate, won't even have to know - Addictions can be treated - IQ can be reduced - Social people can be made less so by frontal lesions. - Articulate people can be made less so by temporal lesions - List is endless.. It is horrendous technology. You can't feel brain damage. You wake up with a slurry speech and can't remember what your life was about, they have gotten to you.
