The amount of radiation you receive from the backscatter machine is harmless. Take note that you also receive a substantial amount of radiation from simply flying.

Same here! I was on the fence about starting my app with RDS or moving to it later. This article puts me over the edge

As an entrepreneur who needs a quick buck to invest in my startup I feel that this survey is a better gauge of how much one desires money now so as to invest in whatever they're doing.

Thought this sentence was interesting: "An enigmatic politician with strong convictions, Mr Obama in many ways resembled the driven young spirits that venture capitalists love to take a punt on." I bet in British-English it comes out right

I typically watch it to remind me to check my threads for any responses. If my karma went up or down, it's likely that someone responded to one of my comments.

I'm glad you don't believe it, but isn't there some harm to even entertaining the idea when people react so strongly to someone mentioning a 'possibility' however obscure? It's good to play devil's advocate and conceive of possibilities wit

This just in. We will be in Miami at Art Basel! Would love to meetup if you get the chance iPhone/Facebook app or no

Would love to make the Miami show but not sure if its in the cards this year. Thanks for your feed back. It definitely rings true. Changed Loan to Lend. We've been throwing around the patronize term a bit but not committed to it yet. Our

Facebook -> April 30 -> Adolf Hitler However it would seem that it's only matching April and not April 30th. Enjoyed the images though

Isn't it wonderful how we've barely scratched the surface on what potential fission has?

Good idea on the face but the energy needs to be dumped somewhere and dumping that much excess energy is tough and costly. Used to work in the industry, if the turbines tripped or anything else happened along the way, you SCRAM immediately

The current energy industry is so over regulated that it completely stifles innovation. It's worse then Taggart Transcontinental

That's true. We had two reactor options during the cold war that were choices to extend our Uranium supply. One was the Fast Breeder reactor and the other was the liquid thorium reactor. My dad worked on the Fast breeder which would use

It could be a plausible solution to our electricity woes to a degree. Mainly in baseload electricity supply which is about 60% of the U.S. grid. Small liquid flouride thorium reactors (LFTRs) can fit on a flatbed truck and mass manufactur

Add a neutron to Thorium-232 and it becomes protactinium for 30 days which then decays to Uranium-233. Uranium-233 is great bomb material and perfect reactor fuel, although as mentioned it is quite hot and difficult to work with. The key

You can find it pretty much anywhere actually. It's a by-product of many mining processes and India has literal beaches of it.

Exactly. Mainly, the current nuclear power industry, i.e. Areva, Westinghouse and GE make all their money on the fabrication fo fuel rod assemblies. They tried to make thorium fuel rods work in Indian Point Unit 1, but the layout of the r

A used car has already been created which is different from buying a new car every time which takes an insane amount of energy to create.

Oh yay more electro-sensitivity BS. Completely unverifiable claims of people who think electronics hurt them. Here's a blog post I saw on the matter: http://depletedcranium.com/interesting-new-electrosenstivity...

That's what irks me. I am actually quite disciplined in exercise and my diet but when it comes to the instant gratification of computer games I just got no self control :)

Agreed. I recently decided to go all out and open on the Internet and embrace all that social networking has including some of the inherent creepiness. So far I've received little to zero odd encounters / phone calls / emails. It's kind of
