Rechargeable Boots

Seems as if we've done a story before on shoes that generate electricity, but I sure don't see it in the archives.
I claim this in the name of AMD and Francis Frisina!
can't you see this was not done by ossama, but rather by some american organization?

"So obviously, some very powerful group of people, inside our country, perhaps with some cooperation from outside, but essentially inside our country, decided to do the equivalent of a coup d'etat against the United States. Which meant, methods of terror to make the population malleable, to accept what they're to do, and at some point, come forward, and actually represent a new kind of government of the United States, to replace the present government. That's their objective."

Used to get scores of 2 or 3 when posting, but now regularly posts get modded down to -1.
Fault of the user? Fuck no. KILL THE MODS! They're all insensitive bastards.
Since when do /. posters actually check the archives?
Aw - Sorry. That search function of IE will freak me out sooner or later.
And the funny thing is the same guy posted it.
Ah, I can symphatize with that, easily. Sorry if I sounded like (too much of) an asshole. ;^)

I would applaud this but would only suggest that boot developers not gravitate too closely to the shoe manufacturers of the world for cues and support in development of new footwear.
They will order boots they can understand and shoes they can master, and will want multiple versions of sandals until the market is dominated.
Give Nike strong manufacturing capability and market domination and this product will never see the light of day.
I am not great, I am merely adequate. I live in adequacy.

What the couch potatoes who lounge about with their electronic gadgets instead of getting out and about really need is a way to generate electricity from sitting around munching fries and playing with all these electronic toys.

My other car is first.
quickly - someone kill this guy!!
Umm, he's got ONE 2 (for posting about Russia's nuclear stockpile, and I think he was posting at +1) and ONE 3 (for posting about MAPS). Neither of those times was he being a dipshit troller, so I don't see how you can compare them.
