Bill Gates invents the fuel less automobile. Solving the energy crisis 101
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, May 16 2012 @ 12:30 PM EDT
The Blue screen of driving. Clicky The invention of a type of electromagnetic piston engine that's far afield from the information technology that helped Gates and his colleagues make their name (not to mention their fortune) lends some ammunition to charges that Intellectual Ventures is little more than a "patent troll." I can not seem to get this link to work Here is the link that my browser uses and will work. http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser? Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PG 01&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrc hnum.html&r=1&f=G&l=50& s1=%2220090091138%22.PGNR.&OS=DN/2009 0091138&RS= United States Patent Application 20090091138 Kind Code A1 Hyde; Roderick A. ; et al.

An internal combustion engine, comprising: a first piston slidably disposed in a first cylinder, the first cylinder having a closed end; a first port configured to admit a reactant to the first cylinder; and a first converter operable with the first piston to convert mechanical energy of the first piston from and to electrical energy within a piston cycle. 2. The engine of claim 1, wherein the first converter is configured to convert mechanical energy of the first piston to electrical energy during a power stroke, and is further configured to drive the first piston during at least one stroke selected from the group consisting of an exhaust stroke, an intake stroke, and a compression stroke. The neo magnets commonly used everywhere de magnetize at the temperature of a WARM cup of coffe or 140 f The coldest part of a running gasoline engine is kept to around 212 to 220 F by the waterjacket. The parts exposed to the combustion chamber are much hotter. Blue screen of driving. You would have to air condition the engine . LOL I just found this howler .

2,300 birds found dead off Chile, Peru

It appears that ocean warming is contributing significantly to the changing marine ecosystems.

I'm hoping the extreme off-topic nature of this post will mitigate any prior on-topic rants.

U.S. Department of Justice Slaps Baltimore Police Over Right to Record Issue
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, May 16 2012 @ 01:35 PM EDT
The U.S. Department of Justice is coming down hard on the Baltimore Police Department as it prepares to issue a settlement to a man whose footage they deleted after he recorded them making an arrest.

The settlement stems from a 2010 incident at the Preakness Stakes, which prompted the Department of Justice in January to send a statement of interest to the judge presiding over the resulting civil suit, advising him that such blatant action violates the Constitution and should not be tolerated.

That letter provoked the police department into issuing a 7-page General Order to its officers February stating that citizens have the “absolute right” to record cops in public as long as they did not "violate any section of any law, ordinance, code or criminal article."

Baltimore cops simply expanded existing laws to allow them to continue cracking down on camera-wielding citizens, including threatening to arrest a man for loitering.

On Monday, the Department of Justice slapped the Baltimore Police Department with another letter, condemning it for writing such a vague general order and for allowing the harassment to continue.
