madhaha

Actually I can REALLY do with £ as a key character. I have no idea why its not supported...

What were you expecting from Mr. "I've-got-the-souce-but-its-crap-and-I-can't-even-use-vb" Manners? -*BAD WORD*- it, he must be a troll. Ban him.

It was worse when he had the old lanc. And bounce.

Yes but you aren't one of them and you know it

Thats because they know its not a real squad.

Digesters work, are firesafe and odourless etc. Food waste digesters certainly produces usable fertiliser. Human waste I'm not sure about (its in treated sewage which is used for fertiliser after all) but you can certainly use the gas.

http://3564020356.org/ A MUCH harder challenge for the really good people

Nurples has said on my behalf at least TWICE on the forums: It is illegal to hog the ball down south. I'll ask him to post again.

Well? HAVE you done it in a day? I don't see your usual boasting so I assume not Number 10 is actually quite interesting.

I'm interested to know why we DON'T use household digesters actually... They cost slightly more than your regular toilet but they can be used to power a generator or provide gas. And there is always the fertiliser which can be sold on or ploughed back into the land somewhere. No reason why ins!@#$%^&*utions (schools for example) can't use it to reduce their electricity bills. A lot of power can be saved via insulation but again, no-one is interested because of the cost.

I don't know. I favour it being put up server side as its all going to be handled in the settings anyway.

SS does not have a bank account. Who should accept money and why?

Fueled not powered. I doubt it simply because of the logistics of carting around/piping such vasts amounts of hydrogen. I think we'd see a new kind of transport or other alternative fuels long before we use hydrogen. Notice where development is going at the moment and how alternative fuels (such as lpg) are already availible in inner city areas. People GENUINELY interested in trying some of this stuff out should try getting their car converted to run on gas. Its not overtly expensive although it'll hog a lot of space (back seats or the boot). Advantages are cheap fuel, quick to start, less polution, no congestion charing (in London), cheaper road tax etc. The only useful sustainable fuel source at the moment is solar power (yes it makes a difference even in overcast areas, if only for heating water). Wind power requires far too much land, creates a -*BAD WORD*- of a lot of noise and is not usually productive/reliable enough. Longterm effects unknown. Tidal powers is HORRIBLE to maintain and also have unknown longterm effects. Remember the creation of photovoltic panels requires posinous elements and that disposal/repair is expensive, if its even possible. Farmers are probably aware of the methane digester (dump all your crap and waste food in a digester and it'll provide odourless natural gas and fertiliser). At the end of the day, its the lowtech stuff that wins.

I take it that net FAILED to complete the challenge in a day then Wusses. Come on, EVERYONE can work out the first level.

Prove your script kiddie p0w3rz! http://scifi.pages.at/hackits/ An amusingly short set of puzzles. Some of them are actually very cunning although all of them are easily solvable to someone with average intelligence. Lots of them are way too easy. -*BAD WORD*- I managed it! *wonders if Net can do this in a day*. Shouldn't be hard

Pern isn't as bad as kooly (only because she's suicidal )

You call that a LITTLE input?

Disabling X-radar in spec via the settings doesn't. It just turns the graphic off. Great new feature

Research in english universities has created various materials that convert body heat into electricity. *Visions of The Matrix* Its not much use for largescale stuff, just charging a mobile or perhaps at best a laptop.

Tempest: You forget sucking.

Mike locuta est; causa finita est.

So basically its either biofuels via hydrogen (lengthy, untested and a pain the arse to store) or via alcohol (which can be adapted to be burnt like petrol or as a mix, or alternatively used in fuel cells once they get them working with impure alcohol). Nuclear will not be popular for all too many reasons (price, threat of material falling into the wrong hands, difficult waste disposal, dangerous leakages, build time etc.) . Fossil fuels can be extended for a good few decades, maybe even a century depending on if we discover any new fields and how we use existing ones which makes it a likely candidate in the near term. An interesting powerplant in europe is being powered by ex WWII explosives. I doubt they'd be using that in America/Canada.

*cough*And then continued to rule most the world until WWII*cough*

Well depends how its implemented. If it only works in teamchat for example, then the sender could see it too.

Uh oh.
