Maybe, if you mean Celsius. Salt melts at 1474F (801C), so it'd have to be kept above that or it'd crystallize. I've always wondered what they do if the conditions don't provide a high enough temperature... seems they'd have to drain it ent

Most impressive... I wonder how it looks from the air. It's 74 times as powerful as this one I spotted while flying into Albuquerque several years back. http://maps.google.com/?ll=34.962827,-106.509635&spn=0.0... I'm pretty sure that

I won't comment on Symbian, I don't know enough about it and it's been covered by others. The Maemo project was going in a nice direction for a while, but Nokia missed the mark when it released the N900. I was one of those chomping at the b

They're not. They're only magnetic when they are in operation. I've been in them, I've been with people who've been in them, and my family is in the medical field. If they were fully energized all the time, you wouldn't be able to bring peo
