Ugly Truth, Rossi is a scam artist, I’d check a bit wider before believing anything about his “experiments”.

Quite, anyone who comes up with a workable alternative energy solution mush be slandered immediately, we can’t rock the boat with new technology and threaten the almighty petrodollar.

Try Lubos Motl’s blog (the Reference Frame) where he goes into the latest “paper” on the process.

Excellent work by Motl. Imagine those alternative-energy cranks not using TeX to produce their so-called “paper”. Laughable.

That paper is a joke, there’s no serious discussion of potential errors, the emissivity of the calorimeter casing is way over-estimated, and the device needs to be plugged into the mains full time to work.

Yes, when your energy output is an order of magnitude higher then conventional sources it is obviously important to nitpick over errors that don’t affect your conclusion.

Sadly, Motl has made a grievous error here, he has agreed with a poster who criticised his work:

notsofast: You might be right this is a hoax. But your emissivity analysis is ridiculous.
Luboš Motl: I agree with your emissivity figures etc.

It would indeed be nice if this was real, but dollars to donuts says it’s simply a scam to extort money from gullible potential investors.

Exactly. The science is settled, if NASA can’t get cold fusion to work properly then it simply can’t be done.

‘But sometimes you allow your posturing and established positions on issues to get in the way of rational thought’

WTF? What rational thought do you need?

Scumbags can’t behave in a civilised manner, they get taken out of the equation for a very very long time until they are broken, with changed legislation. Done. Me and 95% of other kiwis don’t give a f*** and live happily ever after with no guilt. There, I’ve thought it through rationally. Next.

I venture DG knows what he’s talking about as this whole field was his raison d’etre.

Would you leave room for rational thought when you have a home invasion? Would you have a knee jerk reaction and go for your knife or would you talk it through with the Damaged Individual. Hard ass solutions ARE the best solutions for people like this.

‘Wider societal problems!’ The societal problem, Flipper, is a completely soft judicial system. Everybody knows it. It’s a joke.

If I was one of Iti’s bunch then I could define such a child as an easy, safe way to move illegal arms or ammunition around.

Spot on Griff, how would you define a child on the way to school?

Regarding Christian conservatives you know what I mean. Race is not relevant. Brian Tamaki is hated by 3 news and John Campbell because he doesn’t have the approved liberal views. Christian Maoris involved in Hikoi of Hope get much better media coverage. The essence of my argument is not race but political and social views. If you are of the left the media will love you. If you are of the right and/or Christian and conservative then you are a legitimate target.

Family First being discriminated against by the Charities Commission is a big story. Imagine if a gay advocacy group was not granted charitable status because their views were deemed not to be in the public interest? There would be outrage by the media. But because family first stick up for traditional marriage then the media couldn’t care less about them.

The Urewera group has had very sympathetic coverage in my view. But if the police raided Brian Tamaki then 3 news would be massively unconcerned.

Here’s the full senate sub-committee report.

1. Almost all of Apple’s foreign operations are run through an Irish company with no employees. The company told investigators that it lost all records concerning why Apple Operations International was originally set up in 1980, and why all of Apple global sales go through it. You might have a few ideas why if you keep reading.

2. Apple pays 2%—or less—in corporate income tax in Ireland. The already low-tax country gives Apple special treatment with a negotiated 2% income tax rate. But that’s just the top-line number: Between 2009 and 2011, one Irish subsidiary, Apple Sales International, earned $38 billion and paid $21 million in taxes, for an effective rate of .06%.

3. Apple Operations International, which provided 30% of Apple’s worldwide net profits from 2009 to 2011, doesn’t pay taxes anywhere. This move is devilishly brilliant: The US decides if it can tax you based on where you incorporate your company. Ireland decides if it can tax you based on the location of the people managing the company. So if you incorporate a subsidiary in Ireland, and manage it from the US, you don’t (so far) have to pay taxes in either country. And that’s exactly what Apple has done, not filing a tax return for AOI anywhere in the world in the last five years.

Kea, agreed with your 3:58 & 4:53post, guess we disagree from then…tis the wonders of blog posting eh?…all good

Yeah I see that. Why did you suddenly go mental ? A fight with the missus perhaps ? I hope things are better now

“Maori are well entrenched in various churches, which is something you would know I would have thought.”

Yes indeed they are. Yet another reason they may be attracted away from the settlers religion to another, while keeping the same God.

Maori radicals are approved victims, Christian conservatives are not.
==================
First you need to define a Maori radical and that’s not just someone who has a different point of view to you.
Second, is it not possible that some or many of those Christian Conservatives can also be Maori given that many Maori belong to various Christian Churches?

dime, selling Islam to Maori would be incredibly easy. It works best with tribal & communal societies, like Maori tend to be. They are natural born Muslims for a variety of reasons & would make great soldiers of Allah !
===================
Have you been drinking all day Kea.

you are not your rational self at all.

Maori are well entrenched in various churches, which is something you would know I would have thought.

Obviously you are not that observant then.
