Date: 2011-10-29 12:22 pm (UTC)I had this argument with a physics student once back when I was a chemist. He thought if he could only fInd a way of splitting water easily, he'd have a great free source of energy, because you get a helluva a lot out when you burn hydrogen in oxygen. Not sure if I ever convinced him that splitting them apart again must take exactly te same amount of energy, at the absolute theoretical minimum if you had no inefficiency whatsoever.
Damn!

Date: 2011-11-01 01:57 pm (UTC)Still fun, but some of it ended up being far too easy, because I'd taken my time on another bit of the game and ended up higher level than it was expecting.

Date: 2011-10-29 06:30 pm (UTC)This couldn't be more obviously bollocks, given that they specifically offer plans that include a certain amount of texts/calls per month, so they obviously are able to monitor that.
