Comment Re:As they should be. (Score 1) 628

I ascribe to this principle as well but there's another side to the equation: don't do the crime if you can't do the time. In other words, I am all in favor of people leaking classified information but I am also in favor of them being prosecuted for doing so. Similarly, while I find torture abhorrent, if someone takes it upon themselves to torture another and should the data extracted be valuable (even preventing something terrible from happening), then the torturer should still be prosecuted for the crime.

Comment How to make a watercraft do the same thing (Score 1) 393

I think a DDW watercraft could be made to do this as well. Have two propellers: one in the air and the other in the water. Mechanically link the water propeller to the wind propeller. Assuming friction with the water isn't too great (flat bottom boat?) and the ratio between the water prop and the air prop is tuned, you should be able to make a DDW watercraft move faster than the wind.
