  3. My own research by roesti · · Score: 1 · on Pretty Women Scramble Men's Sense Of The Future

    Originally, when they mentioned pretty, I thought this was what they were talking about.

    However, just to be sure, I also asked Google about "women" and "pretty". The second resulting link was about urination, while the fifth link was about flatulence.

    I have since come to the conclusion that the concept of being pretty is horrendously overrated, bordering on disgusting, and will eventually perish - pretty soon, hopefully.

  4. Re:Neat, now how about my box...? by jeffb · · Score: 3, Informative · on P4 2.2GHz Overclocked to 3.5GHz

    The Powerbooks work this way too, except that the resistors involved are smd type instead of the easier to fiddle with ones on the desktop. In fact, on the desktops, you can clock them with a Circuit Works pen and an X-Acto, if you'd prefer not to solder. I've been running my 1st generation iBook (300MHz) at 400MHz for almost 2 years now, and it has worked well since the day I 'clocked it. (processor temp went up an average of only 6F, which is good, since the iBook also doesn't have a fan). The chart reviewing the various combinations of processor speeds and ratios available on the iBooks and Powerbooks is available at The Mystic Room, if you're curious. (or just want to see a 666MHz iBook in the Apple System Profiler, if only for a sec.)

  5. the Swedish Navy by europrobe · · Score: 2, Insightful · on Submersible Robot Diesel Recycles Its Exhaust

    We've got Air Independent Propulsion on some of our subs in the Swedish Navy... (well, as some of you would point out, it's only independent for a period of time.) The trick is to use liquid O2 and a diesel burner to drive a Stirling engine, and use enough pressure during combustion to be able to feed the exhaust out into the water. Since it's mostly CO2 it dissolves quickly. For the burner to get "air-like" oxidizer the O2 is mixed with a small back feed of reused exhaust. There is a more thorough explanation on Kockums website.

    This is not as clean as the drone in the original article, but OTOH, the collected exhaust in the drone has to be disposed of somewhere - it's not gonna disappear just because it's not in the atmosphere.

  6. That'll teach me not to stereotype! by Otter · · Score: 3 · on Forget The Pentium, Hack The 68K

    I have to admit, I would never have imagined that the person who hacked a Color Classic monitor to run at 640x480 would be a woman! That'll teach me to Think Different!
