    More Nanny State Shenanigans

    Is this really the kind of thing we should be contributing to via our (unfair and exorbitant) council tax payments? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/norfolk/7538134.stm How long until the movers and shakers at West Norfolk Council start another genius initiative to combat a mysterious...

    Subsonic 'explosions' as cause of pulverization

    The thread is split off from Jones New Paper: Microspheres and Temperatures Basically, I had suggested a low velocity blast of less than 100 mph, from a tempered thermobaric, as source of the pulverisation. Some people on that thread keep missing the point that I am not positing this as a...

    Doing the sums on the new Pentium Chips

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/3/33403.html It will consume over 100 Watts. These things run at very low voltages, as low as you can run a semiconductor junction and still be able to trust it, I think. Thats a little over 1 volt. That means it's drawing about 100 Amps!
