The article talks mostly about military and space applications, but I think it'd be really slick to make still suits, not to mention portable audio players, PDA, and even laptops that are powered by energy that we are generating anyway."

    They must not have English classes at Stanford these days. Tautology: If one removes the power source (i.e., humans) from the machine, the machine no longer has a source of power (i.e., humans). This is the antithesis of irony. It's utterly predictable that should one eliminate the power source, one no longer has a power source.

    Fate, however, is in your favor: last time I was there, the Stanford bookstore carried dictionaries in general books. Buy one.
