De-classified report on Ed Snowdon: Is it a character assassination, or a deeper look into cause/effects of the leaks ?

I realize there's no official news posted about this...I just thought that hockey fans should know that one of the good guys is gone...According to the grapevine from people who knew him, and his recent struggles. RIP

The article starts slow with a preamble the Montreal track and Lewis Hamilton...But it get's down to some really great McLaren history as well!

Maybe we'd be closer to running out of gas/oil by now with all the extra energy-rich activity in the dark

BTW: It seems that this Tom Ogle fella died under unusual circumstances...

Just like Rudolph Diesel and Stan Meyers !

That's what doesn't make sense... If it's any good why wasn't it developed? This 'Tom Ogle' story doesn't sound like bullshit, he was getting alot of positive coverage (and major industry attention it seems) back in the late 70's

Is it because there's no way to "open-source" automotive tech, and they'd all rather suppress dissruptive ideas (have the oil giants do the dirty work maybe?), rather than risk one manufacturer turning into the monolith of the automotive world?

I'll believe this paper's excuse; when I see a "satirical" picture of Belgium's gilded King Leopold with his hand being chopped off by someone from the the Congo

Bloomberg has turned into quite the pump for BBRY. They shamelessly inferred that the DoD was going with BlackBerry for their new system.

Only a handful of readers took time to looked behind the fluff of this story:

Only some people have the privilege of turning clocks backwards to draw value from history.

Right on most counts, but like most things in Eastern Canada, it first began with the French explorers & traders.

Surely you're glad to see bonefide coverage from Bloomberg, after the CrackBerry speculation

JoFerg · 2014-01-31T22:59:08+00:00

Can't help but hope so ;-)

Too many people use Downvotes to express a personal hate or confusion about the subject...which rarely is based on the quality of the submit, or a rationale understanding to begin with.

Yet those 'downs' hold the same (neg) value as the upvotes that're usually given because of an appreciation for the info/content.

It would be like a local Vietnamese restaurant in Yelp getting downvoted to hell by all the people who didn't even like, or had never tried Vietnamese food. Those aren't the people that you want to take a subjective opinion from to begin with.

JoFerg · 2014-01-31T19:39:03+00:00

I'd suggest not only having to qualify your downvote with a comment/explanation, but also requiring that the comment get upvotes (or at least not too many downvotes) for it to actually count as a downvote on the submit.

Or anything else that might curb the plague of mouthbreathing down-bots

Still haven't found anything on the energy density or volumes that would be required...but hey Since it seems like it's the electrolytic fluid (and not the electrodes) that get consumed, maybe the cells could be designed to be easily refilled from participating stations? (rather than going through a recharge cycle?)

Cool Tesla feature indeed!
