a drilled chamber in rock wouldn't be smooth. The magma would find points of weakness in the hole and blow out the side of the mountain. Assuming it didn't cool before it hit the outside

to do that, wouldn't you need a drill that was large enough to relieve the pressure, and made of a material that could withstand magma temperatures, AND a pipe to corral the lava, AND hope that the process of drilling doesn't cause additional stress points in the mountain that could blow?

ah, thanks for the clarification! I was confused. CREDO is coming out to $57/month, with unlimited 4G LTE data plan, and minimal minutes (400 minutes - not on the website) and text messages (300). Plus, I like that they're a progressive company, so aligns with my values.

I (as of 30 minutes ago) ordered a Samsung SIII from CREDO, after eyeballing it on their site for a while. And for my unlimited 4G LTE service, I'll be paying $30/month less than AT&T

sure, it's certainly reusable and we're not going to stop producing it any time soon, but this isn't exactly going to help get us off of emission-producing combustion engines. I'd be interested to know the fuel efficiency and emissions of this fuel compared to fossil fuels. Anyone happen to be an expert on this? (my brief internet research isn't coming up with anything particularly helpful)

It also has a lot to do with brand awareness. Before the trial, Samsung was kind of a "generic" brand, not a hip brand like Apple. Now it's gone up against Apple and has a sheen of the bad boy, and people will remember its name when they go looking for phones.

nope, pretty sure I meant what I said. But the point is taken. Perhaps if people understood both science AND technology (including popular technology, vis a vis marketing concepts), there would be less conflation of unrelated concepts.

In a saner world, our educational systems would teach science and technology...

After all of the secret TOS and Privacy Policy changes Yahoo keeps trying to sneak by, I'm wondering how Flickr thought that they would keep the same vision? Puhleese. It won't be long before Flickr is no more and is just another email harvester.
