Everyone seems to be getting very hyped up about the supposed hydrogen revolution that is just around the corner. Fuel Cell powered cars, we are promised, will be 100% with only water as a waste product. We are told fuel cells are going to power everything from cars to laptops.

Does anyone else see problems with this proposal? Firstly, hydrogen is an incredibly volatile gas, so filling up cars etc. with it will be far more dangerous than filling them with petrol. Also, if a car full of hydrogen gas crashes and it ruptured the storage tank, the whole thing will explode at the first sign of a spark.

Second, hydrogen does not occur in vast quanities naturally, so we have to produce it. This requires energy, and surely this energy is just going to come from burning more fossil fuels in power stations. And if it doesnt, if we set up a renewable energy infrastructure, why do we even need hydrogen? everything (including vehicles etc.) could just be plugged into a mains outlet...

Hi, I wear orthotics in my running shoes, should I wear the same in my ski boots?

I am about to go skiing (snow allowing) and would like to buy a new pair of boots. Since I use orthotics for running I guess that I should be using them as well for skiing. What do you think?

Lesbian movies' lead actresses are mostly teens..?

I've noticed this recently, most of the scenarios are built upon the self-realization, and coming out of the "teenager lesbian girls around their 15-16's. Do you think the film industry is going to exceed its limits and come to the adults someday?
There ARE some very important and interesting films with bright scenarios too but as far as i 've seen they form the minority..What is your opinion?

3d animation?

Hello,

I am a programmer that has an idea for a game that would require some 3d animation. It is really a platform game so animations are limited to side view for the most part. Since it is probably impossible for me to find an animator that will work with me for little or no money, I am going to investigate the possibility of doing it myself.

The main character I would try to animate is a floppy eared female rabbit. Animation would consist of walking, running, jumping, and maybe a spin attack where she uses her ears as a weapon.

I would like to hear from someone who has tried various 3d creation tools or has successfully done some animation, and can recommend the program that will let me do this as easily as possible - mainly because I am not an artist or animator and want the easiest learning curve possible.

Alternatively, someone might know of such a character in existence that I can work with or someone who would be interested in doing the animation.

Thanks!
