AA.Your comment “I do not think Rossi is mad. I think he is in it for the money” is an ad hominem that serves no useful purpose. Jed.That is my informed opinion. AA. I know it is your opinion.What useful purpose does it serve? Jed.Furthermore, if you say that, I say your ad hominem attacks

Harry, You are right. However, that label does not say anything about the persons character or mental capacity. Entrepreneurship does not come down to good or bad. I base it on : Determination. Optimism. Stubborn. Unpredictable. Result oriented before money oriented. and a few other things I think

AA .What I have read was that IH were about to remove Rossi’s 1MW plant and that was why Rossi locked his part of the building. Eric. IH became the owner of the 1MW plant with the first payment of 1.5 million dollars. AA. There is the small matter of whether Rossi gets paid $89 million

Those qualities aren't unique to entrepreneurs. They can be found in other creative people. What makes an entrepreneur special is their need to succeed in the marketplace. On Sat, Jun 4, 2016 at 12:10 PM, Lennart Thornros wrote: > Harry, > You are right. > However, that

My point is a narrow one. Presumably with ownership of the plant, it is/was within rights of IH to park it in a field in Nebraska, or to make a sculpture out of the scrap metal, or to drop it off of a bridge in connection with a television show. In this context, one wonders on what basis Rossi

Jed. It is the only possible way to estimate the heat production. AA. Really? I could do it but your "experts" from IH couldn't? Jed. No, you could not, except perhaps by ESP. Or -- what the heck -- you could just come up with some round numbers with 3 or 4 zeros, the way Rossi did.

It is not that clear. Rossi maintains IH have not fulfilled the terms of the agreement and his lawyer has issued a public statement saying that IH's license has been withdrawn for said reason. So who owns what will be income for lawyers for a long time I imagine. There maybe IP in the new

Sorry Jed. No one would accept the situation you describe. If the situation was unacceptable they should have hired another ERV. They should have put it i writing, at the start, that it was not acceptable. The fact that IH have not claimed this means it is unlikely they took that action.
