Forum intermittently slow today - repeated time-outs.

Yes, very bad today. Can not get a post through. Have to get Barty on this. Seems to be bad same time period every day.

ACK!

Apologies to all those experiencing slow upload/download rates with our forum over the last few days. Bart is 'checking it out'.

THX!

This is the downside of using a VPS, which is simply a virtual machine running in parallel with other virtual machines on one physical machine

looks like one of those other machines is consuming very much ressources at some times

The real problem is the bandwidth consumed by Rossi's servers in Miami Beach, which control the worldwide e-cat installations.

lol, good one PhysicsForDummies

Thanks barty. I like to keep humor in the equation

barty The forum is still very slow, with some timeouts, making it difficult to navigate. Is there anything we can do to fix?

yes, I'm ordering another server and will move it

good news!

Much much better today - have you migrated the system?

Really running smooth now!

Ja, LF Forum flutscht!

Been quiet today. So much going on, there must be some opinions...yet crickets. Why?

While the forum has been quiet today, LENR land has not. There is a disruption in the force. Sad really. No wonder the field has been stagnant.

Look in the mirror, and you shall see where the problem lies. The science is solid, but the personalities are flawed and conflicted.

Forum running slow again, so be patient.

The field is stagnant because of secrecy.

That's the number one issue that's prevent progress.

The second, of course, is funding and labor for experimentation.

Secrecy is the #1 problem keeping human civlilization from improving.

The problems caused by secrecy in technology are supposed to be solved with the patent system.

Unfortunately, patents have not been granted for cold fusion, so the system is not working.

The purpose of patents is spelled out in the U.S. Constitution: patents and copyrights are "to promote the progress of science and useful arts . . ."

Not to make inventors rich. That's not the purpose. When people patent an important technology and then refuse to manufacture it, the government

forces them to manufacture or license, because of explicit intent of the Constitution. Not manufacturing would not "promote progress."

Atom ecology thread : Access denied. Any reason ?

leDahu Sorry, legal threat forced us to disable. For now, A-E and it's owner, is taboo to discuss unless made public elsewhere. Weighing options.

HOLY COW!!!!

Ecology is busy at atom-ecology.russgeorge.net

Can i say how much I love LENR-forum?

I'm waiting for breakthrough, and waiting and waiting, and some people have waited 30 years

armenian proverb :lamb is in spring ..snow is in winter .. maybe by autumn in assisi?

It's happening now, somewhere. And the power is increasing. There is hope.

Heck-Melvin Miles had cold fusion in kitchen back in Ridgecrest!

Cold fusion will change our mental imprint and we will be different people.

Thats what I hope too.

When all costs nothing, will some still want more than others? Will we let them have it?

I wonder what query might clarifty whether pointless avarice always expresses in the human genome?

The US doesn’t have much in the way of privacy laws

The UK does, but there’s several hurdles for the plaintiff to jump over

Well, it's not going to happen. Problem lies outside of the forum but we have no wish to make it worse. Bur all is well in the lab.
