Yes as the article pointed out, water does not face the same constraints as coal,oil, and other resources that follow the 'peak' distribution. It is, for the most part, not fundamentally transformed when we consume it. The "water cycle" we

I'd like to see such software living on a moderately priced beefed up router. Call it an "information appliance"... It would function both as, a gateway to the internet when you're at home, and persistent store accessible from anywhere. Hav

Easy there. (This isn't actually a youtube comment thread!) This is just a visual metaphor for standard mutiplicaton process. They are fundamentally the same thing. I personally think the way in the video has the potential to help children
