Motorola Makes Gasoline Powered Cell Phones
Wister285 writes "Well, now that PDAs are integrated with cell phones, you'll need some extra juice to power that thing. Motorola seems to think that the next generation of cell phones needs to be powered by gas (fuel cells). Supposedly these cell phones can last for a whole month without needing to be recharged. Batteries are not being eliminated since the "power plant" of the phone is located on the user's belt. Seems interesting. Gives a whole new meaning to "Fill 'er up!""
The worst terrorist attack in recorded history occurred less than three weeks ago, and you people have the gall to be discussing the fact that Motorola believes that next generation of cell phones needs to be powered by gas (fuel cells). Supposedly these cell phones can last for a whole month without needing to be recharged. Batteries are not being eliminated since the "power plant" of the phone is located on the user's belt.???? My *god*, people, GET SOME PRIORITIES!
The bodies of the 6000+ innocent people who died in this unprecedented tragedy could give a good god damn about the next generation of cell phones, your childish Lego models, your nerf toy guns and whining about the lack of a "fun" workplace, your Everquest/Diablo/D&D fixation, the latest Cowboy Bebop rerun, or any of the other ways you are "getting on with your life" (here's a hint: watching Cowboy Bebop in your jammies and eating a bowl of Shreddie's is *not* "getting on with your life"). The souls of the victims are watching in horror as you people squander your finite, precious time on this earth playing video games!
You people disgust me! In a way, you're almost as bad as the terrorists themselves. At least they had the conviction to die doing something they believed in.
Isn't there a gas powered thinga-ma-brator that MOT is looking into fuel cells for:

If that doesn't work, I'm sure this US Patent Mirror Site works...
Blame Slashdot not the author of that posting: The Slashdot article clearly has the title "gasoline powered" so your complaint is misdirected.
Trader Joe's Cranberry Trail Mix is a colorful and lively mix that combines dried cranberries with golden raisins, sunflower seeds, whole almonds, pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds) and cashew pieces. It has a subtle nutty flavor, with the sweetness of golden raisins and the tang of cranberries. All of the nuts are raw. This mix is sodium free, and it's made for us with no artificial colors or flavors.
CmdrTaco sniffed gasoline. he saw little creatures scurrying about. and these little devil things would be running and hiding. he also saw the cinderblock walls slowly open up, but never saw what was on the other side. finally, he kept hearing an eerie chorus of demonic high pitch voices sing this line:"there's no such thing as seniority". his breath also stunk horribly of gasoline fumes from inhaling it too much.
I was just hoping for a funny mod.
But don't get all riled up. This is as it should be. Lessons aren't worth squat if you don't give people the time and space to learn them properly.
Conversely, those terrorist bombings while spectacular and emotionally shocking, were just blips in the big picture for anybody who didn't directly lose friends or family, (i.e., almost everybody). Job losses and changes of the economic picture happen all the time. Just because these ones stemmed from violence shouldn't serve to incapacitate you.
Obsession is a force in the negative. You might want to watch that.

Since it runs on methane, the easiest solution would be to plug it in here.
Kudos on your record-breaking haul, mr "priorities" troll! I'm amazed that such a feeble troll could draw so much fire! A much better response than other tired trolls like "Stephen King found dead" or "*BSD is dying" could hope to draw.
Until they finally release the studies proving that marijauna is the most efficient carbon sink in the plant world! Oh what a conundrum!!!
(Oops, that won't work, beacuse it assumes that the plant material won't be burned, thereby re-releasing the carbon. Fat chance of that!)
is making a cum powered cell phone.
Bad idea. People will keep saying "who cut the cheese?"
Phew...
For a moment I actually thought you were attacking someone intellectually.
Good thing you didn't actually use wit and intelligence to do it.
Attacks out of ignorance only boosts other people's morale and mood.
Hehe...
To be a successful troll one should get to know one's target first, and attack in a intelligent manner. (subtely is not nessesary, agreed)
Texans just can't come up with original names for their towns, can they?
Please learn to use than and then correctly.
Thanks.
Saying as you're UID #5151, I'd have at least hoped you've seen the Story Submissions form before. The submitter also writes the headline, not the editors.
So Taco is still in the clear, although he really should stop calling himself an "Editor", as he clearly doesn't edit anything.
