Hydrogen Micro Turbine Only 4mm In Diameter

article or an older Popular Science
article. The tiny generator is more efficient than any battery and is expected to find military and commercial uses including robotics." Imagine the uses ...
Pardon me for asking, I didn't know it was a fucking crime. My schooling never even touched on any physics, everything I know about that is what I've picked up here and there and what a hertz was a measure of I was not aware.
The continuing depreciation of the slashdot intelligence level is really depressing.
Die bastard, the only way to learn is to ask, correct? I was unaware you were born with the knowledge of what a hertz is. Also: the more you make fun of people the less likely they are to ask in the future, thus lowering the intelligence of the masses even further. You're almost as bad as the anonymouse poster but not quite.
I normally wouldn't respond to an AC comment. In fact, you're an outright troll, since you're obviously saying something really, REALLY stupid!! But I'm going to respond to YOUR comment, because I think it'll be a lot of fun to talk smack on you, you IDIOT!
To begin with, let's pause for just a moment and ask ourselves who the real luser is here.
Is it me, because vaguely remember a flying bee in some stupid movie, or is it you, who could immediately name the movie?
I think it's you. I watch nearly zero television. That's right. I don't like movies, or television, or big media. They SUCK! Microsoft SUCKS! Windows SUCKS! Linux rocks! And YOU are a pitiful LOSER!! I bet you drive a rice burner, don't you? Probably an Integra with a 5 foot tall spoiler on the back, a 6 inch exhaust tip, low profile tires and cut springs (for a really hard and uncomfortable ride), and a motor that produces about 1 lb. ft. of torque, for a prominent lack of anything even remotely related to power. I bet you run high 19s, on a good day, when racing downhill at a 45 degree incline (decline?), because the only thing moving your car is gravity, because your motor can't handle its own weight.
Well let me tell you something. I drive a (nearly stock) 5.0 Mustang. I run 13s. You don't. So **Y**O**U** are the LOSER!
This comment should be moderated +5 Insightful. The idiot I'm responding to should be moderated -99999999999999999999999999999 Idiot.
I am required by blood oath to tell you that MICROSOFT SUCKS and WINDOWS SUCKS.
It's all about Opera 5 for Linux. Running on FreeBSD of course. Not that I don't like Linux. I use quite a few distros. But I also use FreeBSD, and I believe the system is better designed and stuff. Besides, I don't like the SysV-style init scripts in most Linux distros--they're such a hell to maintain! FreeBSD's way of simply putting everything in several "central" scripts, and then modifiying the behavior of those scripts through /etc/rc.conf feels and works so much better than mucking around with 845,353,776,235,309 scripts in all kinds of directories. Of course, I could always make FreeBSD-style init scripts for Linux. Or maybe I should go look for some--I'm sure someone else has thought of this before me.
Well, anyway, all I was trying to say, since I am talking smack, is that Microsoft sucks, Windows sucks, Outlook sucks (I never used it but it sucks), Internet Explorer sucks (I never use that either, but it sucks too), and all their other programs suck.
OH WELL.
