Coleman To Sell Portable Fuel Cell Generator
HobbySpacer writes "
Popular Science reports that
Coleman Powermate
will soon start selling a small portable fuel cell power supply.
The AirGen Fuel Cell Generator provides 1.2kW for up to 10 hours
on a bottle of pure hydrogen. Interestingly, the company had to
set up its own distribution system to insure it could deliver a
refill anyplace in the US within 2 days. The unit, built by
Ballard, goes for a pricey $8k but perhaps worth it if an indoor emergency backup is needed. Fuel cells can also be found for sale at the
Fuel Cell Store and Greenvolt.
Perhaps the hydrogen economy is closer than most people thought."
yeah - fp =)

When is slashdot's editors going to quit posting stupid bullshit stories like this one when there are many more interesting technology and science-related stories out there? Who gives a baboon's red ass if Coleman makes a portable fuel cell? The goddamn thing sells for $8k. I doubt anyone is gonna break out that much cash for something like this.
What's next CmdrTaco and crew? A post about a potential cure for cancer that's 25 years off and will cost an estimated $5 million per treatment? A repost of the Flying Car prototype story? I can see it now...and about 10 minutes after it's posted....
Ed: woops it's a repost! I guess we should turn off the Vivid channel and pay attention for once!
./ should really makes repeats a diffrent colour or something. Its getting bad when everyday you are having a repeat!
I don't mind the duplicates as much as you. Considering that story was posted in December, no new, interesting comments have likely been made in a while. With a dupe, even if it's an accident, we tend to get more interesting comments from others who hadn't heard it the first time around. This time, someone submitted a link to a picture of it that I hadn't seen the time before, and others have said some interesting things.
Even if it is an error, it's an error that harms no one and benefits many.

Pardon me, but that is a big hairy load of crap! CIA meeting with Osama? If you're going to promote conspiracy theories, try to stick with the vaguely plausible ones.
Hmm...
Talk about the irony. A post modding the story as being redundant gets modded as being redundant...

Funny, I find most of the posts here to be mindless drivvel.
To make a long story short: XP and USB doesn't get along for me.
Tried to move the XP partition to the end, and then install '98 [don't worry, I use linux on my other PC... my GF won't give up RA2, and this machine has software based hardware]
I had the PM 7.0 'rescue' disks; but because of the software that I used to format the drive [about 1.5 yrs ago] I couldn't use them... some crap that came with my HD. EZ-bios or some sort of thing.
I since reformatted loosing so much. But I gained disk space! lol
Don't worry though, most of my mp3's are backed up on CD [about 40-50 CDs], as well as most things. The thing that really gets me is my Webshots stuff. I loved that program and had so much 'custom' pictures on it. I need to hunt down that lego porn...
ok, not so short.
Get your Unix fortune now!
